From the last 100 to the first 100–outcome after a manufacturer change in reverse fracture arthroplasty Open
Purpose If surgery is indicated for elderly patients suffering a proximal humerus fracture, reverse fracture arthroplasty became the preferred type of treatment due to its good and reliable outcomes over the last decade. Surgeons could cho…

Experimental guide wire placement for total shoulder arthroplasty in glenoid models: higher precision for patient-specific aiming guides compared to standard technique without learning curve Open
Background Patient-specific aiming devices (PSAD) may improve precision and accuracy of glenoid component positioning in total shoulder arthroplasty, especially in degenerative glenoids. The aim of this study was to compare precision and a…

It Is Always the Same—A Complication Classification following Angular Stable Plating of Proximal Humeral Fractures Open
Introduction: The aim of this study was to create a novel complication classification for osteosynthesis-related complications following angular stable plating of the proximal humerus subsuming the influence of these complications on clini…

Detailed analysis of surgically treated hand trauma patients in a regional German trauma centre Open
Hand and forearm injuries are the most frequent reason for consultations in German emergency departments. Therefore, full recovery has a high social and economic relevance. In this study, data on surgically treated hand injuries in a regio…

Open reduction and internal fixation of displaced head-split type humeral fractures and role of the rotator-interval approach Open
Background Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of humeral head split fractures is challenging because of high instability and limited visibility. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the extend of the approach thr…

One-year follow-up—case report of secondary tension pneumothorax in a COVID-19 pneumonia patient Open
Purpose The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) may result not only in acute symptoms such as severe pneumonia, but also in persisting symptoms after months. Here we present a 1 year follow-up of a patient with a secondary tension pneumoth…

Screw-Tip Augmented Locked Plating Versus Primary Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in Displaced Proximal Humeral Fractures: A Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study With a Mean Follow-Up of 39 Months Open
Introduction This study compared the clinical and radiologic outcomes of screw-tip augmented locking plate osteosynthesis (STA) vs primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in elderly patients with displaced proximal humeral fractu…

Supraspinatus Tenotomy in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Fractures: A Comparative Cohort Study Open
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiographic outcome in patients with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for displaced proximal humeral fractures (PHF) with or without tenotomy of the supraspinat…

Open reduction and internal fixation of displaced proximal humeral fractures. Does the surgeon‘s experience have an impact on outcomes? Open
Quality of reduction and functional outcomes following open reduction and internal fixation of displaced two-part surgical neck fractures are related to the surgeon's experience. In addition, complications and revision rates are less frequ…
