Shoulder arthroplasty for atraumatic avascular necrosis of the humeral head: Nineteen shoulders followed up for a mean of seven years

In vivo glenohumeral contact forces—Measurements in the first patient 7 months postoperatively

“…While most patients with humeral head arthrosis or necrosis regain good shoulder function (Mansat et al, 2005), results after rheumatoid arthritis and fractures are less satisfactory (Sperling et al, 2004). Thus the goal of this study was to develop an instrumented shoulder endoprosthesis for patients with humeral head arthrosis.…”

A vascularized scapular graft for juvenile osteonecrosis of the humeral head

“…Several treatments for osteonecrosis of the humeral head have been reported, including conservative treatment, core decompression, 8,9,13 vascularized bone grafting, 5 humeral head resurfacing, 17 and shoulder arthroplasty 11,12,13,15 (Table I).…”

Rehabilitation Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

“…These pathologies include osteoarthritis (OA), 5,10,16,17,24,25,28,35,38,39,43,46,50,59,60 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 5,19,20,23,32,33,35,40,61,62 rotator (RC) tear arthropathy, 4,18,35,54,55,64,65 osteonecrosis, 12,30,31,35,37,41 and fractures of the humeral head. 1,2,5,11,26,34,36,45,51,53 Outcomes of patients with RC deficiency, having undergone a TSA or hemiarthroplasty (HA), have not been uniform.…”
