Background: Hip revision surgery in extensive acetabular bone defects represents a complex challenge for hip surgeons. The primary goal is to obtain a stable acetabular component and restore the hip biomechanics. Through the years, different prosthetic implants have been developed to perform acetabular revision depending on bone loss location and extension. This systematic review aims to summarize the clinical outcomes and complications reported with trabecular titanium (TT) cups in hip revision surgery.

: The management of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT) presents a unique challenge to many orthopedic specialists. Unlike tears that are predicted to do well with primary, complete repair, MRCT are affected by tissue retraction, in-elasticity, bursal scarring, muscle atrophy, and fatty degeneration; operative repair thus portends worse healing rates than smaller tears and is associated with recurrent tear rates of up to 91% based on ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Rotator cuff tears are a common condition in patients over the age of 50. Thus, multiple advances in treatment strategies have been made to combat the limited efficacy of complete or partial rotator cuff repair in the setting of a massive or irreparable rotator cuff tears. It is of utmost importance that the operating orthopedic surgeon be familiar with these various treatment modalities to best serve the patient and that they harbor these skills within their armamentarium. This article details a review of the current literature including nonoperative and operative treatments for the management of massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears. The primary objective is to propose a literature-based algorithm for the treatment of massive and often irreparable rotator cuff tears to allow for informed ease in the decision-making process.

Background: Distal femur fractures (DFF) and periprosthetic distal femur fractures (PDFF) in elderly patients are challenging to manage, often requiring the use of distal femur replacement (DFR) implants to manage severe bone loss and comminution. The study’s main purpose was to analyze outcomes and complications of DFR implant after DFF or PDFF at our institution to understand the feasibility and reliability of this treatment considering a review of the current literature.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) which mainly cause lung primarily TB, can also affect the musculoskeletal system. Spine involvement occurs in 50% of the cases and neurologic deficit and kyphotic deformity may occur. The choice of conservative or surgical management of spinal TB in the absence of neurologic deficits remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to investigate the outcome and the success rate of conservative treatment and to provide evidence for the timing of treatment for spinal TB in adult patients.

: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has become a highly successful treatment option for various shoulder conditions, leading to a significant increase in its utilization since its approval in 2003. However, postoperative complications, including scapular notching, prosthetic instability, and component loosening, remain a concern. These complications can often be attributed to technical errors during component implantation, emphasizing the importance of proper preoperative planning and accurate positioning of prosthetic components. Improper baseplate and glenosphere positioning in RSA have been linked to impingement, reduced range of motion, and increased scapular notching. Additionally, the relationship between component positioning and intrinsic stability of RSA has been established, with glenoid component retroversion exceeding 10° posing a risk to implant stability. Adequate initial glenoid baseplate fixation, achieved through optimal seating and the use of appropriate screws, is crucial for long-term success and prevention of early failure. Factors such as lateralization and distalization also influence outcomes and complications in RSA, yet standardized guidelines for preoperative planning in these parameters are still lacking. Despite the impact of component position on outcomes, glenoid component implantation remains challenging, with position errors being common even among experienced surgeons. Challenges arise due to factors such as deformity, bone defects, limited exposure, and the absence of reliable bony landmarks intraoperatively. With the evolving understanding of RSA biomechanics and the significance of implant configuration and positioning, advancements in preoperative planning and surgical aids have emerged. This review article explores the current evidence on preoperative planning techniques in RSA, including plain radiographs, three-dimensional imaging, computer planning software, intraoperative navigation, and augmented reality (AR), highlighting their potential benefits and advancements in improving implant position accuracy.

Background and Objective: Modular neck adapters allow different length and offset changes to reach a stable total hip arthroplasty (THA) and permit a quick partial hip revision procedure without removing the existing components. The literature is poor on this matter and about the long-term related outcomes. This narrative review summarizes the most recent literature about these devices as an option of surgical treatment in partial total hip arthroplasty revision (THAr) focusing on indications, clinical and radiological outcomes, and related complications.
