The number of periprosthetic humeral shaft fractures is on the rise related to the increasing performance of shoulder arthroplasty (especially reverse shoulder arthroplasty) in an aging population with more medical comorbidities.
Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining joint health and flexibility. A 2024 review suggests that reduced estrogen levels can lead to increased inflammation and changes in the connective tissues, which could make you more susceptible to conditions like frozen shoulder.
“There is the consideration of how kids get their equipment, the quality of their equipment and the fit of their equipment. In a sport like hockey where there is high velocity and high impact, making sure that you have well-fitting helmets and pads is important,” Sheena C. Ranade, MD, associate professor of pediatric orthopedic surgery in the Leni and Peter W. May department of orthopedic surgery and director of the comprehensive neuromuscular care clinic at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine, told Healio. “Making sure that protective gear is keeping up with their growth is important as well because they grow rapidly in adolescence.”
Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular treatment, its efficacy in patients with failed rotator cuff repair (ARCR) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical results of RSA for following failed ARCR. We hypothesized that RSA after failed ARCR would lead to improved clinical outcomes comparable to those of RSA performed without prior surgeries.
Common types of shoulder surgeries include rotator cuff repair, total shoulder replacement, and arthroscopy for conditions like frozen shoulder or impingement syndrome. In general, these and other shoulder procedures help treat shoulder injuries by repairing or replacing cartilage, tendons and ligaments, muscles, and joints.
