“…Furthermore, the locking plate group demonstrated better function and less pain than the external fixation and the non-locking plate groups. Radiological parameters were comparable with other authors [8,13,20]. All told, the locking plate does well in the rating system according to Gartland and Werley, with 85% to 100% excellent to good results (in our study, 100%) [1,9,24,26].…”

This study compares the effectiveness of locking and non-locking palmar plating and external fixation for unstable distal radius fractures in the elderly. In a retrospective match-paired study, 45 patients aged 50 to 70 years who underwent surgery for C1/C2 distal radius fractures were evaluated. The surgical procedures were external fixation or plating with locking or non-locking palmar plates. Radiological and functional outcomes were assessed. Outcomes according to Gartland and Werley, Martini and the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire were compared. The locking palmar plate fixation method demonstrated significantly better radiological and functional results in comparison to external fixation and the non-locking palmar plating methods. The subjective assessment of plate fixation proved to be better than that of external fixation. Complications and reoperations were fewer for both plate fixation groups. Our data indicates that most displaced intra-articular distal radius fractures can be treated successfully with the locking palmar plate.

“…9,21-23 While there is a disparity between the incidence of radiolucent lines around glenoid components and the rate of revision, there is increasing evidence that these lines become more pronounced with time. 2,[24][25][26] Overall, it appears that loosening of the glenoid is inevitable and will, if the patient survives, lead to the onset of further symptoms. The factors affecting loosening of the glenoid are numerous 27 and include the design of the component, surgical technique of preparation of the glenoid and cementing, the shape and position of the humeral component and other factors.…”

In a prospective study between 2000 and 2005, 22 patients with primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder had a total shoulder arthroplasty with a standard five-pegged glenoid component, 12 with non-offset humeral head and ten with offset humeral head components. Over a period of 24 months the relative movement of the glenoid component with respect to the scapula was measured using radiostereometric analysis. Nine glenoids needed reaming for erosion. There was a significant increase in rotation about all three axes with time (p < 0.001), the largest occurring about the longitudinal axis (anteversion-retroversion), with mean values of 3.8 degrees and 1.9 degrees for the non-offset and offset humeral head eroded subgroups, respectively. There was also a significant difference in rotation about the anteversion-retroversion axis (p = 0.01) and the varus-valgus (p < 0.001) z-axis between the two groups. The offset humeral head group reached a plateau at early follow-up with rotation about the z-axis, whereas the mean of the non-offset humeral head group at 24 months was three times greater than that of the offset group accounting for the highly significant difference between them.
