Abstract
Objective
This retrospective, observational study aimed to assess the revision rates and survival curves in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemi-shoulder arthroplasty (HSA) patients, including a subanalysis to investigate the impact of a pyrocarbon humeral head in revision rates.
Methods
Data collected from 7 surgeons who performed primary HSA in 92 patients and primary TSA in 508 patients at a large private clinic were analyzed. The study focused on revision rates and identified factors leading to revisions, including rotator cuff insufficiency, dislocation, aseptic loosening, implant material, and glenoid erosion.
Results
The overall revision rate for HSA was found to be significantly higher (7.6%) than that for TSA (1.2%), with a maximum follow-up of 7 years. Subanalysis within the HSA group revealed a notably higher revision rate in cases involving a metal head (cobalt-chrome or titanium) (12.8%) than those with a pyrocarbon head (2.3%).
Conclusions
This study underscores the importance of distinguishing between TSA and HSA when evaluating shoulder arthroplasty outcomes. The significantly higher revision rate in HSA, particularly with metal heads, suggests the need for careful consideration of implant selection to optimize long-term success in shoulder arthroplasty procedures.
期刊介绍:
The official publication for eight leading specialty organizations, this authoritative journal is the only publication to focus exclusively on medical, surgical, and physical techniques for treating injury/disease of the upper extremity, including the shoulder girdle, arm, and elbow. Clinically oriented and peer-reviewed, the Journal provides an international forum for the exchange of information on new techniques, instruments, and materials. Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery features vivid photos, professional illustrations, and explicit diagrams that demonstrate surgical approaches and depict implant devices. Topics covered include fractures, dislocations, diseases and injuries of the rotator cuff, imaging techniques, arthritis, arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and rehabilitation.
