  • What happens to the elbow 15 years after a radial head prosthesis? A clinical and imaging long-term follow-up study.

    Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) has increasingly become the standard treatment for non-reconstructable radial head fractures, especially in young active patients where long-lasting function restoration is of paramount importance. However, long-term evidence of the results over time is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to document the long-term outcomes of RHA for acute radial head fractures.

  • Clinical results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared to primary cases: a case–control study

    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.
