RESUMO
Gollop-Wolfgang complex (GWC) is a rare congenital limb anomaly characterized by tibial aplasia with femur bifurcation, ipsilateral bifurcation of the thigh bone, and split hand and monodactyly of the feet, resulting in severe and complex limb deformities. The genetic basis of GWC, however, has remained elusive. We studied a three-generation family with four GWC-affected family members. An analysis of whole-genome sequencing results using a custom pipeline identified the WNT11 c.1015G>A missense variant associated with the phenotype. In silico modelling and an in vitro reporter assay further supported the link between the variant and GWC. This finding further contributes to mapping the genetic heterogeneity underlying split hand/foot malformations in general and in GWC specifically.

B-type glenoids are characterized by posterior humeral head migration and/or bony-erosion-induced glenoid retroversion. Patients with this type of osteoarthritic glenoids are known to be at increased risk of glenoid component loosening after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). One of the main challenges in B glenoid surgical planning is to find a balance between correcting the bony shape and maintaining the quality of the bone support. This study aims to systematically quantify variabilities in terms of scapular morphology and bone mineral density in patients with B glenoids and to identify patterns of covariation between these two features. Using computed tomography scan images of 62 patients, three-dimensional scapular surface models were constructed. Rigid and nonrigid surface registration of the scapular surfaces, followed by volumetric registration and material mapping, enabled us to develop statistical shape model (SSM) and statistical density model (SDM). Partial least square correlation (PLSC) was used to identify patterns of covariation. The developed SSM and SDM represented 85.9% and 56.6% of variabilities in terms of scapular morphology and bone density, respectively. PLSC identified four modes of covariation, explaining 66.0% of the correlation between these two variations. Covariation of posterior-inferior glenoid erosion with posterior sclerotic bone formation in association with reduction of bone density in the anterior and central part of the glenoid was detected as the primary mode of covariation. Identification of these asymmetrical distribution of bone density can inform us about possible reasons behind glenoid component loosening in B glenoids and surgical guidelines in terms of the compromise between bony shape correction and bone support quality.

An increased sensitivity of sonication compared to periprosthetic tissue cultures in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of hip and knee arthroplasty has been reported. The goal of this study was to determine if there is also an added value of implant sonication in the diagnosis of PJI in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent removal of their TSA combined with sonication of the implant for suspicion of PJI between April 2009 and August 2017 was performed. The diagnosis of PJI was based on the major criteria described by Parvizi. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios and diagnostic accuracy for sonication cultures in comparison with periprosthetic tissue cultures. Data from 41 patients were analysed. Standard synovial fluid cultures combined with intraoperative periprosthetic tissue cultures had a sensitivity of 95%, specificity of 95% and total accuracy of 95%. Sonication cultures had a sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 68% and total accuracy of 80%. Six patients had negative standard cultures but positive sonication cultures. In patients with only one positive standard culture, the pathogen of the sonication culture corresponded to the pathogen of the positive soft tissue culture. We found a possible added value of sonication of TSA in the diagnosis of PJI in conjunction with standard intraoperative cultures. In some patients with suspicion of low-grade TSA infection, sonication could identify a possible causal microorganism despite negative standard cultures.

We wanted to investigate the quantitative characteristics of humeral head migration (HHM) in shoulder osteoarthritis (OA) and their possible associations with scapular morphology. We quantified CT-scan-based-HHM in 122 patients with a combination of automated 3D scapulohumeral migration (=HHM with respect to the scapula) and glenohumeral migration (=HHM with respect to the glenoid) measurements. We divided OA patients in Group 1 (without HHM), Group 2a (anterior HHM) and Group 2b (posterior HHM). We reconstructed and measured the prearthropathy scapular anatomy with a statistical shape model technique. HHM primarily occurs in the axial plane in shoulder OA. We found "not-perfect" correlation between subluxation distance AP and scapulohumeral migration values (rs = 0.8, p < 0.001). Group 2b patients had a more expressed prearthropathy glenoid retroversion (13° vs. 7°, p < 0.001) and posterior glenoid translation (4 mm vs. 6 mm, p = 0.003) in comparison to Group 1. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated prearthropathy glenoid version as a significant predictor of HHM (χ² = 27, p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the pathologic version could explain 56% of subluxation distance-AP variance and 75% of the scapulohumeral migration variance (all p < 0.001). Herewith, every degree increase in pathologic glenoid retroversion was associated with an increase of 1% subluxation distance-AP, and scapulohumeral migration. The occurrence of posterior HHM is associated with prearthropathy glenoid retroversion and more posterior glenoid translation. The reported regression values of HHM in the function of the pathologic glenoid version could form a basis toward a more patient-specific correction of HHM.

PURPOSES: A septic revision of an artificial joint is routinely split up in a so-called dirty phase and a clean phase. The measures taken to initiate the start of the clean phase vary significantly between musculoskeletal infection centers. We performed simulations of one-step exchanges of infected THAs and sought to 1) determine the effect of different clean phase protocols on the sterile field, and 2) determine whether or not it is possible to re-implant the new prosthesis completely clean. METHODS: Nine fresh frozen cadaveric hips were used and primary THA was undertaken via a direct anterior approach. Before implantation of the components varying amounts of fluorescent powder (GloGerm) were deposited, simulating bacterial infection. Second, a one-step exchange was performed via a posterolateral approach. After implant removal, debridement, and lavage, randomization determined which clean phase protocol was followed, i.e. no, some or full additional measures. Finally, the new prosthesis was re-implanted. In order to determine the effect of different clean phase protocols on contamination of the sterile field standardized UV light-enhanced photographs were obtained of 1) the gloves, 2) the instrument table, 3) the drapes, and 4) the wound and these were ranked on cleanliness by a blinded panel of hip surgeons. In order to determine whether or not it is possible to re-implant the prosthesis completely clean, the implant was taken out again at the end of the one-step exchange and inspected for contamination under UV light. RESULTS: The gloves, the instrument table, the drapes and the wound were significantly cleaner after a clean phase using full additional measures compared to partial or no additional measures (p < 0.000). Partial measures were able to reduce some of the contamination of the gloves and the wound, but had no effect on the drapes and the instrument table. All re-implanted implants were contaminated with some amount of fluorescent powder at the end of the one-step exchange. CONCLUSIONS: We advise to incorporate a clean phase with full additional measures into the surgical treatment of prosthetic joint infections, as partial measures seem to be a poor compromise. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Not applicable (cadaveric study).
RESUMO
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) is characterized by massive rotator cuff tearing combined with humeral head migration (HHM). The aim of this study is to investigate the quantitative characteristics of this migration and its association with glenoid erosions and prearthropathy scapular anatomy. We quantified HHM and prearthropathy scapular anatomy of 64 RCTA patients with statistical shape modeling-based techniques. Glenoid erosion was classified according to Sirveaux et al. A cutoff value for confirming HHM was 5 mm based on a control group of 49 patients. Group 1 (RCTA without HHM) consisted of 21 patients, with a mean subluxation distance (SLD) of 3 mm. Group 2 (RCTA with HHM) consisted of 43 patients, with mean SLD of 9 mm, SLD in the anteroposterior plane of -1 mm (SD ± 4 mm), SLD in the superoinferior plane of 7 mm (SD ± 3 mm), and subluxation angle (SLA) of -5° (SD ± 40°). Analysis with Fisher's exact test showed a clear association between HHM and glenoid erosions (p = 0.002). Multivariate regression analysis of Group 2 showed that prearthropathy lateral acromial angle combined with critical shoulder angle (p = 0.004) explained 21% of the observed variability in SLD. The prearthropathy glenoid version explained 23% of the variability in SLA (p = 0.001). HHM in RCTA patients has a wide variation in both magnitude and direction leading to a distorted glenohumeral relationship in the coronal and axial plane. HHM is highly associated with the occurrence of glenoid erosions. There is a correlation between the prearthropathy scapular anatomy and the magnitude and direction of HHM.

PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to (1) investigate the effect of hydrodilatation in frozen shoulder patients on objective indices of shoulder functionality and subjective outcomes of pain, mobility, kinesiophobia, depression, and anxiety, and (2) progress knowledge about the reciprocal temporal relationship between psychological parameters at baseline and objective and subjective outcomes at 3-month follow-up. METHODS: We evaluated the clinical and psychological status of 72 patients with a frozen shoulder before and after hydrodilatation, using the Constant Murley score, the Visual Analogue score, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Shoulder Pain And Disability Index. RESULTS: We noted a significant improvement in functionality, pain and disability (p < .001). Depression and anxiety improved significantly (p < .001) between baseline and 3-month follow-up. Prospective analyses demonstrated that psychological factors are more likely to predict outcomes of hydrodilatation than vice versa. CONCLUSION: Hydrodilatation followed by physiotherapy is an excellent way to treat patients with recalcitrant frozen shoulder, resulting in a continuous improvement of ROM and pain. Physiotherapists and physicians should be aware that psychological factors might have an impact on the treatment outcome.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic shoulder infection (PSI) remains a devastating complication after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Currently, scientific data related to the management of PSI are limited, and the optimal strategy and related clinical outcomes remain unclear. Guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America for the management of periprosthetic joint infection are mainly based on data from patients after hip and knee arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether these guidelines are also valid for patients with PSI after RSA. In addition, the functional outcome according to the surgical intervention was assessed. METHODS: An RSA database was retrospectively reviewed to identify infections after primary and revision RSAs, diagnosed between 2004 and 2018. Data collected included age, sex, indication for RSA, causative pathogen, surgical and antimicrobial treatment, functional outcome, and recurrence. RESULTS: Thirty-six patients with a PSI were identified. Surgical treatment was subdivided into débridement and implant retention (DAIR) (n = 6, 17%); 1-stage revision (n = 1, 3%); 2-stage revision (n = 16, 44%); multiple-stage revision (>2 stages) (n = 7, 19%); definitive spacer implantation (n = 2, 6%); and resection arthroplasty (n = 4, 11%). The most common causative pathogens were Staphylococcus epidermidis (n = 11, 31%) and Cutibacterium acnes (n = 9, 25%). Recurrence was diagnosed in 4 patients (11%), all of whom were initially treated with a DAIR approach. The median follow-up period was 36 months (range, 24-132 months). CONCLUSION: PSI is typically caused by low-virulence pathogens, which often are diagnosed with a delay, resulting in chronic infection at the time of surgery. Our results indicate that treatment of patients with chronic PSI with DAIR has a high recurrence rate. In addition, implant exchange (ie, 1- and 2-stage exchange) does not compromise the functional result as compared with implant retention. Thus, patients with chronic PSI should be treated with implant exchange. Future research should further clarify which surgical strategy (ie, 1-stage vs. 2-stage exchange) has a better outcome overall.

HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND: Shoulder osteoarthritis can be divided into different glenoid types (A, B, C, and D) and subtypes. The aim of this study was to investigate if there is an association between the prearthropathy scapular anatomy, shoulder osteoarthritis, and different glenoid types and subtypes. METHODS: Using principal components analysis, a statistical shape model (SSM) of the scapula was constructed from a data set of 110 computed tomographic (CT) scans. These subjects formed the control group. Next, CT scan images of 117 patients with osteoarthritis were classified according to the modified Walch classification. A complete 3-dimensional (3D) scapular bone model was created for every patient, and using the SSM, a reconstruction of their prearthropathy scapular anatomy was performed. Automated 3D measurements were performed in both the patient and control group to obtain glenoid version and inclination, critical shoulder angle (CSA), posterior acromial slope (PAS), lateral acromion angle, scapular offset, and the rotational alignment of the coracoacromial complex. These parameters were compared between controls, patients with osteoarthritis, and glenoid types and subtypes. RESULTS: Mean version and inclination for the control group was 6° retroversion and 8° superior inclination (both SD 4°). The mean CSA, PAS, coracoid-posterior acromion angle, posterior acromion-scapular plane angle, and fulcrum axis ratio were 30° (SD 4°), 64° (SD 8°), 116° (SD 9°), 55° (SD 7°), and 46% (SD 4%), respectively. Patients with osteoarthritis had a significant lower CSA, posterior acromion-scapular plane angle, coracoid-posterior acromion angle, and fulcrum axis ratio (27°, 50°, 111°, and 44%, all P < .001). We found a significant difference between the control group and the respective glenoid types for the following parameters: mean CSA and coracoid-posterior acromion angle for A glenoids (27°, P = .001, and 111°, P = .007); mean version, CSA, PAS, coracoid-posterior acromion angle, posterior acromion-scapular plane angle, and fulcrum axis ratio for B glenoids (11°, 27°, 71°, 111°, 49°, and 43%, all P < .001); and mean version, CSA, and posterior acromion-scapular plane angle for D glenoids (2°, P = .002, 26°, P = .003, and 48°, P = .007). DISCUSSION: There seems to be an association between prearthropathy scapular anatomy and shoulder osteoarthritis. A small lateral extension and less posterior rotation of the acromion is associated with shoulder osteoarthritis and is present in almost all types and subtypes of glenoid morphology. Furthermore, B and D glenoids are associated with, respectively, a more and less pronounced prearthropathy glenoid retroversion.

Intraosseous schwannomas represent an extremely rare subgroup of schwannomas, accounting for <1% of all primary bone tumors. They mostly occur in the mandible, the maxilla, the sacrum, and they are also seen in long bones. We herein report a rare presentation of an intraosseous schwannoma in the glenoid of a 49-year-old patient. She complained of shoulder pain and was referred to the orthopaedic oncologist after detection of a suspicious lesion on imaging. Biopsy revealed benign spindle cells and immunohistochemistry was positive for S100. Because of the rarity of these intraosseous schwannomas it is important to recognize their radiological and histological features and make a differential diagnosis with other lytic tumors. Only if these characteristics are recognized, correct treatment can be given with definite curettage and bone grafting and correct follow-up with avoidance of unnecessary adjuvant therapy.
RESUMO
HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND: Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) is a pathology characterized by a massive rotator cuff tear combined with acromiohumeral and/or glenohumeral arthritis. The severity of RCTA can be staged according to the Hamada classification. Why RCTA develops in some patients is unknown. Furthermore, in RCTA patients, distinctly different articular damage patterns can develop on the glenoid side as categorized by the Sirveaux classification (glenoid erosion). The goal of this study was to determine whether an association exists between scapular anatomy and RCTA and different severity stages of RCTA, as well as the associated glenoid erosion types. METHODS: A statistical shape model of the scapula was constructed from a data set of 110 computed tomography scans using principal component analysis. Sixty-six patients with degenerative rotator cuff pathology formed the control group. The computed tomography scan images of 89 patients with RCTA were included and grouped according to the Hamada and Sirveaux classifications. A complete 3-dimensional scapular bone model was created, and statistical shape model reconstruction was performed. Next, automated 3-dimensional measurements of glenoid version and inclination, scapular offset, the critical shoulder angle (CSA), the posterior acromial slope (PAS), and the lateral acromial angle (LAA) were performed. All measurements were then compared between controls and RCTA patients. RESULTS: The control group had a median of 7° of retroversion (variance, 16°), 8° of superior inclination (variance, 19°), and 106 mm of scapular offset (variance, 58 mm). The median CSA, PAS, and LAA were 30° (variance, 14°), 65° (variance, 60°), and 90° (variance, 17°), respectively. In terms of inclination, version, scapular offset, and the PAS, we found no statistically significant differences between the RCTA and control groups. For RCTA patients, the median CSA and median LAA were 32° (P ≤ .01) and 86° (P ≤ .01), respectively. For all investigated parameters, we did not find any significant difference between the different stages of RCTA. Patients with type E3 erosion had a different pre-arthropathy anatomy with increased retroversion (12°, P = .006), an increased CSA (40°, P ≤ .001), and a reduced LAA (79°, P ≤ .001). DISCUSSION: Our results seem to indicate that a 4° more inferiorly tilted and 2° more laterally extended acromion is associated with RCTA. RCTA patients in whom type E3 erosion develops have a distinct pre-arthropathy scapular anatomy with a more laterally extended and more inferiorly tilted acromion and a more retroverted glenoid in comparison with RCTA patients with no erosion. The pre-arthropathy scapular anatomy does not seem to differ between patients with different stages of RCTA.

BACKGROUND: Adequate deltoid and rotator cuff elongation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty is crucial to maximize postoperative functional outcomes and to avoid complications. Measurements of deltoid and rotator cuff elongation during preoperative planning can support surgeons in selecting a suitable implant design and position. Therefore, this study presented and evaluated a fully automated method for measuring deltoid and rotator cuff elongation. METHODS: Complete scapular and humeral models were extracted from computed tomography scans of 40 subjects. First, a statistical shape model of the complete humerus was created and evaluated to identify the muscle attachment points. Next, a muscle wrapping algorithm was developed to identify the muscle paths and to compute muscle lengths and elongations after reverse shoulder arthroplasty implantation. The accuracy of the muscle attachment points and the muscle elongation measurements was evaluated for the 40 subjects by use of both complete and artificially created partial humeral models. Additionally, the muscle elongation measurements were evaluated for a set of 50 arthritic shoulder joints. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of implant positioning on deltoid and rotator cuff elongation. RESULTS: For the complete humeral models, all muscle attachment points were identified with a median error < 3.5 mm. For the partial humeral models, the errors on the deltoid attachment point largely increased. Furthermore, all muscle elongation measurements showed an error < 1 mm for 75% of the subjects for both the complete and partial humeral models. For the arthritic shoulder joints, the errors on the muscle elongation measurements were <2 mm for 75% of the subjects. Finally, the sensitivity analysis showed that muscle elongations were affected by implant positioning. DISCUSSION: This study presents an automated method for accurately measuring muscle elongations during preoperative planning of shoulder arthroplasty. The results show that the accuracy in measuring muscle elongations is higher than the accuracy in indicating the muscle attachment points. Hence, muscle elongation measurements are insensitive to the observed errors on the muscle attachment points. Related to this finding, muscle elongations can be accurately measured for both a complete humeral model and a partial humeral model. Because the presented method also showed accurate results for arthritic shoulder joints, it can be used during preoperative shoulder arthroplasty planning, in which typically only the proximal humerus is present in the scan and in which bone arthropathy can be present. As the muscle elongations are sensitive to implant positioning, surgeons can use the muscle elongation measurements to refine their surgical plan.

BACKGROUND: An important reason for failure of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is glenoid component loosening. We investigated the effect of backside bone support on the risk of failure of a glenoid component. METHODS: A finite element model was developed. Virtual surgery was performed for 2 types of glenoid components (cemented all polyethylene [PE] vs. metal backed [MB]), both with gradually decreasing backside bone support. Both bone failure and fixation failure were analyzed. The percentages of bone failure and fixation failure in terms of the critical cement volume (CCV) and micromotion-threshold percentage ratio (MTPR) for the PE and MB components, respectively, were defined and compared. RESULTS: For the reference PE model, the percentages of bone failure and fixation failure (CCV) were 17% and 34%, respectively. With eccentric loading for the MB component, the percentages of bone failure and fixation failure (MTPR) were 6% and 3%, respectively. A global increase in failure was observed with decreasing bone support. The increase in fixation failure, starting from the reference values (MTPR vs. CCV), was relatively more pronounced for the MB component (136% vs. 128%). DISCUSSION: Decreasing backside bone support for an anatomic glenoid component leads to an increased risk of fixation and bone failure. For PE components, decreasing backside support to 95% bone support had only a limited effect. In the case of an MB component, we noticed an increase in micromotion and bone failure already starting from 97% bone support. We conclude that an anatomic glenoid component should always be implanted while maximizing backside bone support.

BACKGROUND: Assessment of glenoid bone defects is important to select the optimal glenoid component design during shoulder arthroplasty planning and implantation. This study presents a fully automated method to describe glenoid bone loss using 3-dimensional measurements without the need for a healthy contralateral reference scapula. METHODS: The native shape of the glenoid is reconstructed by fitting a statistical shape model (SSM) of the scapula. The total vault loss percentage, local vault loss percentages, defect depth, defect area percentage, and subluxation distance and region are computed based on a comparison of the reconstructed and eroded glenoids. The method is evaluated by comparing its results with a contralateral bone-based reconstruction approach in a data set of 34 scapula and humerus pairs with unilateral glenoid bone defects. RESULTS: The SSM-based defect measurements deviated from the contralateral bone-based measurements with mean absolute differences of 5.5% in the total vault loss percentage, 4.5% to 8.0% in the local vault loss percentages, 1.9 mm in the defect depth, 14.8% in the defect area percentage, and 1.6 mm in the subluxation distance. The SSM-based method was statistically equivalent to the contralateral bone-based method for all parameters except the defect area percentage. CONCLUSION: The presented method is able to automatically analyze glenoid bone defects using 3-dimensional measurements without the need for a healthy contralateral bone.

Postoperative scapular fractures are infrequent complications of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The aim of this study is to discuss the functional outcome, clinical outcome and pain scores of these fractures and to analyze these outcome results based on fracture location. A systematic review in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Pubmed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane library and Ovid have been screened. A total of 78 RTSA in 12 articles were retained for qualitative analysis. The average minimum follow- up was 33.3 ± 14.4 months (range 12-60 months) and the mean age was 74.4 ± 5.6 years (range 63-85 years) with a mean female percentage of 90.9%. Overall, the mean DASH score was 39.8 ± 9.4 points (range 29.5- 48.0 points), ASES score 53.4 ± 23.3 points (range 13.3-95.0 points), SST 3.2 ± 2.2 points (range 0.0- 5.1 points), the only OSS 28.0 points and Constant- Murley shoulder score 50.5 ± 20.0 points (range 31.5- 69.0). The mean anterior elevation was 91.5° ± 30.7° (range 46.0°-160.0°), abduction 87.8° ± 21.8° (range 55.0°-125.0°), external rotation 33.2° ± 22.2° (range 9.0°-85°) and the only internal rotation was 60.0°. The VAS score averaged of 3.8 ± 2.8 points (range 0.8-9.0 points). A subgroup analysis of acromial and scapular spine fractures was performed. Acromial and scapular spine fractures have an undeniable effect on RTSA outcomes, however patients still improve compared to their preoperative state. We advise to consider acromial and scapular fractures as different problems, as prognosis is worse for more medial fractures.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effectiveness of a single Botulinum Toxin A (BTX-A) infiltration in the pectoralis major muscle, in addition to a standard physical therapy (PT) programme on upper limb impairments and dysfunctions after breast cancer treatment. METHODS: Fifty breast cancer patients with persistent pain 3 months after finishing treatment participated in a double-blinded randomised controlled trial. The intervention group received a single BTX-A infiltration. The control group received a placebo (saline) infiltration. Within one week after the infiltration, all patients attended an individual PT programme (12 sessions) during the first 3 months. Outcome parameters were active shoulder range of motion, upper limb strength, scapular statics and shoulder function. Measures were taken before the intervention, at 1, 3 (i.e. after the intervention) and 6 months follow-up. RESULTS: No differences between groups were found for all outcome parameters over the course of 6 months. However, overall beneficial effects of the PT for active forward flexion shoulder range of motion and shoulder function were found in both groups. CONCLUSION: A single Botulinum Toxin A (BTX-A) infiltration in the pectoralis major muscle, in addition to a PT programme cannot be recommended to treat upper limb impairments and dysfunctions after breast cancer treatment.

BACKGROUND: The treatment of glenoid bone deficiencies in primary or revision total shoulder arthroplasty is challenging. This retrospective study evaluated the short-term clinical and radiologic results of a new custom-made patient-specific glenoid implant. METHODS: We treated 10 patients with severe glenoid deficiencies with the Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction System (Materialise NV, Leuven, Belgium). Outcome data included a patient-derived Constant-Murley score, a visual analog score (VAS), a satisfaction score, the 11-item version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, and the Simple Shoulder Test. We compared the postoperative position of the implant with the preoperative planned position on computed tomography scans. RESULTS: At an average follow-up period of 30.5 months, the mean patient-derived Constant-Murley score was 41.3 ± 17.5 points (range, 18-76 points) with a visual analog scale of 3.3 ± 2.5 points (range, 0-7 points). The mean 11-item version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score was 35.8 ± 18.4 (range, 2-71), and the mean Simple Shoulder Test was 47.5% ± 25.3% (range, 8%-92%). Eight patients reported the result as better (n = 3) or much better (n = 5). One patient had an elongation of the brachial plexus, and 1 patient had a period of instability. The average preoperative glenoid defect size was 9 ± 4 cm3 (range, 1-14 cm3). The mean deviation between the preoperative planned and the postoperative version and inclination was 6° ± 4° (range 1°-16°) and 4° ± 4° (range 0°-11°), respectively. CONCLUSION: Early results of the Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction System are encouraging. Adequate pain relief, a reasonable functionality, and good patient satisfaction can be obtained in these difficult cases. Further follow-up will determine the bony ingrowth and subsequent longevity of this patient-specific glenoid component.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of a single botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) infiltration in the pectoralis major muscle in addition to a standard physical therapy program for treatment of persistent upper limb pain in breast cancer survivors. DESIGN: Double-blinded (patient and assessor) randomized controlled trial. SETTING: A university hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Breast cancer patients (N=50) with pain. INTERVENTION: The intervention group received a single BTX-A infiltration. The control group received a placebo (saline) infiltration. Within 1 week after the infiltration, all patients attended an individual physical therapy program (12 sessions) during the first 3 months and a home exercise program up to 6 months after infiltration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was change in pain intensity at the upper limb (visual analog scale, 0-100) after 3 months. Secondary outcomes were prevalence rate of pain, pressure hypersensitivity, pain quality, shoulder function, and quality of life. Measures were taken before the intervention and at 1, 3, and 6 months' follow-up. RESULTS: No significant difference in change in pain intensity after 3 months was found (mean difference in change, 3/100; 95% confidence interval [CI], -13 to 19). From baseline up to 6 months, a significantly different change in upper limb pain intensity was found between groups in favor of the intervention group (mean difference in change, 16/100; 95% CI, 1-31). CONCLUSIONS: A single BTX-A infiltration in combination with an individual physical therapy program significantly decreased pain intensity at the upper limb in breast cancer survivors up to 6 months. However, the effect size was not clinically relevant, and no other beneficial effects were found.

HYPOTHESIS: The contralateral scapula can be used as a reliable template to determine scapular offset, glenoid inclination, and version of the native scapula in view of reconstructing pathologic scapulae. METHODS: Three-dimensional measurements of scapular offset, inclination, and version were performed using data from a set of 50 bilateral computed tomography scans of full scapulae to determine direct side-to-side differences. RESULTS: The scapula pairs had a mean bilateral difference of 2 mm in offset, 2° in inclination, and 2° in version. Ninety percent of the scapula pairs showed an offset difference smaller than 3 mm. In 96% and 94% of the scapula pairs, the inclination difference and version difference, respectively, were smaller than 5°. The maximum bilateral difference for offset, inclination, and version was 6 mm, 6°, and 8°, respectively. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The anatomic parameters of scapular offset, glenoid inclination, and version are quite symmetrical and fall into the currently technically feasible accuracy of shoulder arthroplasty implantation. The healthy scapula can be used as a template to guide the reconstruction of the glenoid during shoulder arthroplasty planning in the case of unilateral advanced arthropathy.

BACKGROUND: Description of the native shape of a glenoid helps surgeons to preoperatively plan the position of a shoulder implant. A statistical shape model (SSM) can be used to virtually reconstruct a glenoid bone defect and to predict the inclination, version, and center position of the native glenoid. An SSM-based reconstruction method has already been developed for acetabular bone reconstruction. The goal of this study was to evaluate the SSM-based method for the reconstruction of glenoid bone defects and the prediction of native anatomic parameters. METHODS: First, an SSM was created on the basis of 66 healthy scapulae. Then, artificial bone defects were created in all scapulae and reconstructed using the SSM-based reconstruction method. For each bone defect, the reconstructed surface was compared with the original surface. Furthermore, the inclination, version, and glenoid center point of the reconstructed surface were compared with the original parameters of each scapula. RESULTS: For small glenoid bone defects, the healthy surface of the glenoid was reconstructed with a root mean square error of 1.2 ± 0.4 mm. Inclination, version, and glenoid center point were predicted with an accuracy of 2.4° ± 2.1°, 2.9° ± 2.2°, and 1.8 ± 0.8 mm, respectively. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The SSM-based reconstruction method is able to accurately reconstruct the native glenoid surface and to predict the native anatomic parameters. Based on this outcome, statistical shape modeling can be considered a successful technique for use in the preoperative planning of shoulder arthroplasty.
