Surgical treatment of proximal humerus fractures using PHILOS plate

Objective：To evaluate functional outcome and complications of open reduction and internal fixation with proximal humeral internal locking system （PHILOS） plate for proximal humerus fractures.Methods：We reviewed 51 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with PHILOS plate between the years 2007 to 2012.There were 35 men and 16 women with a mean age of 38 years （range 24-68）.There were 41 patients in the age group of ＜60 years and 10 patients in the age group of ＞60 years.According to Neer classification system,8,15 and 23 patients had 2-part,3-part,and 4-part fractures,respectively and 5 patients had 4-part fracture dislocation.All surgeries were carried out at our tertiary care trauma centre.Functional evaluation of the shoulder at final follow-up was done using Constant-Murley score.Results：The mean follow-up period was 30 months （range 12-44 months）.Two patients were lost to followup.Of the remaining 49 patients,all fractures were united clinically and radiologically.The mean time for radiological union was 12 weeks （range 8-20 weeks）.At the final follow-up the mean Constant-Murley score was 79 （range 50-100）.The results were excellent in 25 patients,good in 13 patients,fair in 6 patients and poor in 5 patients.During the follow-up,four cases of varus malunion,one case of subacromial impingement,one case of deep infection,one case of intraarticular screw penetration and one case of failure of fixation were noted.No cases of avascular necrosis,hardware failure,locking screw loosening or nonunion were noted.Conclusion：PHILOS provides stable fixation in proximal humerus fractures.To prevent potential complications like avascular necrosis,meticulous surgical dissection to preserve vascularity of humeral head is necessary.     

Missed posterior shoulder dislocation with malunited proximal humerus fracture

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder may be missed or neglected at initial presentation especially in developing countries.We present a case of 40-year-old Indian man who had 3-month missed posterior dislocation of the right shoulder along with malunited fracture of the anatomical neck of the humerus.Open reduction and stabilization with modified McLaughlin procedure was performed.Rotational osteotomy of proximal humerus had to be performed as supplementary procedure to keep the humeral head stable in glenoid cavity during functional range of movements.The patient had excellent result of the shoulder at 3 years follow-up.     

A severely displaced metaphyseal fracture of the proximal humerus with dislocation of the shoulder in a child

Fracture of the proximal humerus meta- physis with coexistent dislocation of the shoulder in chil- dren is a rare injury. The injury often occurs as a conse- quence of high velocity trauma. Most fractures of the proxi- mal humerus commonly associated with the epiphysis in children can be treated with closed reduction. We presented a case of 5-year-old girl who sustained this type of fracture-dislocation of the shoulder. Open reduction and internal fixation with multiple smooth K-wires was performed. At two years follow-up, the patient was pain free and regained full range of motion.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate and discuss the limb salvage strategies of malignant bone tumors in region S2 of shoulder girdle.Methods The data of 17 patients(13 males and 4 females)were retrospectivelv analyzed.All of them had malignant scapular tumor at least in region S2,and underwent limb salvage between January 2005 and January 2009.They aged from 14 to 55 years old(mean,32.6 years).The histologic types of them were chondrosarcoma in 6 patients,osteosarcoma in 4,fibrosareoma in 1,myeloma in 1,Ewing's sarcoma in 1,rhabdomyosarcoma in 1,non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1,malignant giant cell tumor of bone in 1 and recurrent chondrosarcoma in 1.The tumors were staged according to Enneking surgical staging system:IB in 4 and IIB in 13.According to the MSTS classification system,the region S2 and lateral 1/3 of region S1 were effected in 11 cases,the region S2 and large part of region S1 were effected in 6 cases.The rotator cuff was involved to some extent in all patients,and the articular capsule were involved in 8 cases.Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was given to 14 patients.The surgical strategies were depended on the range of tumor and preservation of articular capsule.The scapular prosthetic replacement was done in 8 cases with a relatively large range of tumor or resection of articular capsule,otherwise the scapular allograft replacement was done.Among the 11 cases with region S2 and lateral 1/3 of region S1 effected,the scapular allograft replacement was done in 9 cases with articular capsule preserved and the prosthetic replacement was done in 2 cases with articular capsule resected.And the prosthetic replacement was done in the other 6 cases.The articular capsule and partial rotator cuff were preserved and reconstructed preferentially.Results All patients were followed up 16-62 months (mean,35.1 months).Postoperative complications were noted in 9 patients, including mild allograft rejection and mild allograft resorption in 1 patient,allograft rejection in 1,prosthetic acromion exposure in 3,allograft resorption in 4.Local recurrence were noted in 1 patients.Three patients were dead because of extensive metastasis.The average function scores were 74.1%(range,53.3%-93.3%).Conclusion During the limb salvage surgery.it's very important to guarantee the en bloc resection of the tumor.In the meanwhile,the en bloc resection and functional reconstruction should be well balanced.     

Is CT scan a predictor of instability in recurrent dislocation shoulder?

Purpose: Glenoid bone defect and the defect on the posterior-superior surface of the humerus “HillSachs lesion” are the commonly seen bony lesions in patients with recurrent dislocation shoulder. Computed tomography (CT) scan is considered as the best option in assessing the bony defects in the recurrent dislocation shoulder. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological corelation in the patients with recurrent dislocation shoulder. Methods: Forty-four patients of recurrent dislocation shoulder who were evaluated between January 2015 and December 2017 at a tertiary care center, clinically and radiologically using CT scan and meeting the inclusion criteria, were included. The correlation between the clinical history of the number of dislocations and the bone loss using CT scan was evaluated. Two sided statistical tests were performed at a significance level of a = 0.05. The analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS STATISTICS (version 22.0). Results: All the patients were male with mean age of 25.95 (SD ± 4.2) years were evaluated. Twenty-four patients sustained injury in sporting activities while 20 patients sustained injury in training. There were an average of 4.68 (SD ± 3.1, range 2-15, median 3) episodes of dislocation. Forty-one patients had the glenoid bone loss while 40 had the Hill-Sachs lesions. The mean glenoid width defect was 10.80% (range 0-27%) while the mean Hill-Sachs defect was 14.27 mm (range 0-26.6 mm). The mean area of bone loss of the glenoid surface was 10.81% (range 0-22.4%). The lesions were on track in 34 patients and off track in 10 patients. Conclusions: CT scan of the shoulder joint is an effective method for assessing the amount of bone loss. The number of dislocations are correlated significantly with off-track lesions and the amount of bone loss on the glenoid and Hill-Sachs lesion. The glenoid width bone loss of more than 9.80% or Hill-Sachs defect of more than 14.80 mm are the critical defects after which the frequency of dislocations increases.     

Restoration of the joint geometry and outcome after stemless TESS shoulder arthroplasty

AIM To evaluate the joint geometry and the clinical outcome of stemless, anatomical shoulder arthroplasty with the TESS system.METHODS Twenty-one shoulders with a mean follow-up 18 of months were included. On scaled digital radiographs the premorbid center of rotation(CoR) was assessed and compared to the CoR of the prosthesis by using the MediC AD~? software. Additionally, the pre-and post-operative geometry of the CoR was assessed in relation to the glenoid, the acromion as well as to the proximal humerus. Radiological changes, such as radiolucencies, were also assessed. Clinical outcome was assessed with the Constant and DASH score. RESULTS Both, the Constant and DASH scores improved signifi-cantly from 11% to 75% and from 70 to 30 points, P 0.01 respectively. There were no significant differences regarding age, etiology, cemented or metal-backed glenoids, etc.(P 0.05). The pre-and postoperative humeral offset, the lateral glenohumeral offset, the height of the CoR, the acromiohumeral distance as well as neckshaft angle showed no significant changes(P 0.05). The mean deviation of the CoR of the prosthesis from the anatomic center was 1.0 ± 2.8 mm. Three cases showed a medial deviation of more than 3 mm. These deviations of 5.1, 5.7 and 7.6 mm and were caused by an inaccurate humeral neck cut. These 3 patients showed a relatively poor outcome scoring.CONCLUSION TESS arthroplasty allows an anatomical joint reconstruction with a very good outcome. Outliers described in this study sensitize the surgeon for an accurate humeral neck cut.

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the functional outcomes of different limb salvage procedures in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the shoulder girdle.Methods From July 2001 to July 2008,16 patients with limb salvage for sarcomas of shoulder girdle were respectively analyzed,including 11 males and 5 females with an average age of 38.4 years (range,17-67).Localizations of the tumors were 8 in the scapula(including 4 chondrosarcomas,1 Ewing sarcoma,and 3 metastases),5 soft tissues of the shoulder girdie(including 2 synoviosarcomas,1 fibrosarcoma,1 hemangioperieytoma,and 1 well-differentiated liposarcoma),and 3 proximal humerus (including 1 osteosarcoma and 2 metastases).Twelve patients were treated with classical Tikhoff-Linberg procedures,and 4 with improved procedures.Results The mean surgical time duration was 3 hours.The mean blood loss was 1600 ml.The mean follow-up time was 40 months.Major complications included 2 cases of delayed wound healing,and 1 ulnar nerve injury.One patient had local recurrence and died of pulmonary metastases 18 months after second operation of interscapulothoracal amputation.The patient with fibrosarcoma also died of pulmonary metastases 23 months later.One patient with synoviosarcoma was alive with pulmonary metastases in 9 months.Four of 5 patients with carcinoma metastases died during 11 to 23 months later.The 5-year cumulative survival rate was 34.6%.Functions were preserved in the whole hand and elbow.The MSTS functional score of the patients receiving classical Tikhoff-Linberg procedures was 14.7,while improved Tikhoff-Linberg procedures was 19.5.Conclusion The Tikhoff-Linberg procedure not only provides a wide resection of tumors in the shoulder girdle but also preserve the whole hand and elbow functions.The shoulder function was poor in patients receiving classical Tikhoff-Linberg procedures.     

Constrained fixed-fulcrum reverse shoulder arthroplasty improves functional outcome in epileptic patients with recurrent shoulder instability

AIM: To report the results of fixed-fulcrum fully constrained reverse shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of recurrent shoulder instability in patients with epilepsy. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted at a single facility. Cases were identified using a com-puterized database and all clinic notes and operative reports were reviewed. All patients with epilepsy and recurrent shoulder instability were included for study. Between July 2003 and August 2011 five shoulders in five consecutive patients with epilepsy underwent fixed-fulcrum fully constrained reverse shoulder arthroplasty for recurrent anterior shoulder instability. The mean duration of epilepsy in the cohort was 21 years(range, 5-51) and all patients suffered from grand mal seizures. RESULTS: Mean age at the time of surgery was 47 years(range, 32-64). The cohort consisted of four males and one female. Mean follow-up was 4.7 years(range, 4.3-5 years). There were no further episodes of instability, and no further stabilisation or revision procedures were performed. The mean Oxford shoulder instability score improved from 8 preoperatively(range, 5-15) to 30 postoperatively(range, 16-37)(P = 0.015) and the mean subjective shoulder value improved from 20(range, 0-50) preoperatively to 60(range, 50-70) postoperatively(P = 0.016). Mean active forward elevation improved from 71° preoperatively(range,45°-130°) to 100° postoperatively(range, 80°-90°) and mean active external rotation improved from 15° preoperatively(range, 0°-30°) to 40°(20°-70°) postoperatively. No cases of scapular notching or loosening were noted. CONCLUSION: Fixed-fulcrum fully constrained reverse shoulder arthroplasty should be considered for the treatment of recurrent shoulder instability in patients with epilepsy.

Abstract：

Objective To verify the feasibility and safety of a self-designed anatomical anterior locking plate for minimally invasive treatment of mid-distal humeral fractures. Methods Six fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens of upper extremity were used for the present anatomic study.A 3 cm incision was made on the anterior side of the arm between the deltoid muscle and biceps muscle and another 3 cm incision was made along the lateral side of biceps muscle proximal to the cubital crease to expose the anterior cortex.The plate was inserted from the distal incision proximally and positioned on the anterior side of the humeral shaft.The biceps muscle and brachialis were dissected to expose the radial,musculocutaneous and median nerves in situ.Relationships between the plate and nerves were observed.The distances between the lateral border of the plate and the radial nerve were measured where the nerve pierced the lateral intermuscular septum and at the point above the coronoid fossa and at the middle of the above 2 points.The distances between the distal end of the plate and the median nerve were measured when the elbow was in 80° flexion and full extension.The distance between the head of the third proximal screw and the spiral groove was also measured. Results Most part of the plate was covered by the brachial muscle.There was no direct contract between the plate and the radial,musculocutaneous and median nerves,all separated by the muscle belly of the brachialis.The average distances between the lateral border of the plate and the radial nerve where the nerve pierced the lateral intermuscular septum and at the superior edge of the coronoid fossa and at the middle of the 2 points were 14.53 mm (range,13.1 to 17.1 mm),8.38 mm (range,4.2 to 11.3 mm) and 8.39 mm (range,0 to 13.9 mm) respectively.The average minimum distances between the medial border of the distal end of the plate and the median nerve when the elbow was in 80° flexion and full extension was 11.89 mm (range 9.6 to 15.5 mm) and 10.53 mm (range 9.0 to 12.1 mm) respectively.The average distance between the head of the third proximal screw and the spiral groove was 5.90 mm (range,4.2 to 7.1 mm). Conclusions Our novel anatomical anterior locking plate is theoretically safe for the minimally invasive treatment of mid-distal humeral fractures.     

肱骨远端解剖型锁定接骨板的初步应用

Objective To investigate surgical techniques and effects of AO distal humeral plate used as a treatment alternative for distal humerus fractures. Methods From April 2008 to July 2009, 22 cases of distal humerus fracture were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with AO distal humeral plate (DHP). They were 10 males and 12 females. Their ages ranged from 14 to 65 years (average, 40 years). According to AO classification, one case was Type A, 6 were Type B and 15 were Type C. Their elbows were not immobilized postoperatively. The mean follow-up was 15 months. Functional results were evaluated according to the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS). Results Fractures healed in all cases. There was no hardware failure or loss of reduction. No patient complained of pain. They had an average elbow flexion of 108° (range, 60° to 130°) and an average full extension to 25° (range 0 to 80°) . The average ulnohumeral motion was 79° (range, 10° to 130°). The average MEPS was 91 points (range, 60 to 100 points). Fifteen cases scored excellent, 5 good and 2 fair. Conclusions DHP has advantages of an anatomically preshaped locking plate which may enhance anchorage in fractures difficult to manage, such as metaphyseal comminuted supra-intercondylar fractures, lower fractures with relatively small distal fragments and osteoporotic fractures, and allow early postoperative rehabilitation. However, in order to achieve an optimal result,precise location and pre-bending of the plate should be ensured.     

Shoulder hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures

Objective: To investigate the indication, perioperative announcements, selection of prosthesis and clinical results of shoulder hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures.Methods: A total of 55 patients who suffered from com-plex proximal humeral fractures were treated by shoulder hemiarthroplasty. The mean age was 55.6 years and mean follow-up period was 25.1 months. The scoring system modi-fication for hemiarthroplasty (SSMH) had been adopted for evaluation at the latest follow-up.Results: The pain was obviously relieved in all patients. Fifty patients were painless and 5 patients had slight pain. The mean range of motion was 100°(90°-110°) in abduction, 95°(80°-100°) in forward flexion, 35°(30°-40°) in extemal rotation and internal rotation was confined at L2 level (L1-L3). The mean SSMH score was 27.9 (24-29). Fifty patients (90.1%) were satisfied with the clinical outcome.Conclusions: Shoulder hemiarthroplasty is an effective method to treat complex proximal humeral fractures. The proper selection of patients and prosthesis, good operation skill and enough functional exercise are the key points of successful treatment.

Synthetic Mesh Improves Shoulder Function After Intraarticular Resection and Prosthetic Replacement of Proximal Humerus

BackgroundShoulder function often is limited after tumor resection and endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus. This is partly attributable to the inability to reliably reattach rotator cuff tendons to the prosthesis and achieve adequate shoulder capsule repair with a metallic prosthesis. An option to attain these goals is to use synthetic mesh for the reconstruction, although the value of this method has not been well documented in the literature.Questions/purposesWe asked whether patients who had shoulder reconstruction using synthetic mesh had (1) better shoulder function; (2) improved ROM compared with shoulder reconstructions without mesh; and (3) more stable joints compared with those in patients with similar resections who had reconstructions without synthetic mesh.MethodsDuring a 5-year period, we performed 41 intraarticular resections with endoprosthetic reconstructions for malignancies in the proximal humerus meeting specified criteria to generate similarity in the study groups. Twelve patients (29%) were lost to followup before 24 months, leaving 29 patients available for review at a mean of 45 months (range, 24–70 months). This retrospective study compared 14 patients with soft tissue reconstruction that included synthetic mesh with 15 patients with soft tissue reconstruction without the use of synthetic mesh. The choice was made during consultation between the patient and surgeon, after reviewing the perceived advantages and disadvantages of each approach. A tumor band (ligament advanced reinforcement system) was used as synthetic mesh and wrapped around the prosthesis of the proximal humerus for soft tissue reconstruction in the reconstruction-with-mesh group. Study endpoints included the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) function scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, shoulder ROM, and proximal migration of the humeral prosthesis.ResultsThe mean MSTS score for patients without synthetic mesh reconstruction was 20 ± 3 points (66%), whereas for patients with synthetic mesh reconstruction, the mean score was 24 ± 2 points (79%; p = 0.001). Patients with synthetic mesh reconstruction had a higher mean total ASES score (85 ± 1.1 points versus 72 ±1.7 points; p = 0.025), and better function for activities of daily living. They also had better ROM on mean active forward flexion (p = 0.020), abduction (p < 0.001), and external rotation (p < 0.001) than patients without synthetic mesh reconstruction. Proximal migration of the prosthesis was observed in five of 15 of patients in the group without synthetic mesh reconstruction and in none of those treated with synthetic mesh (p = 0.042).ConclusionsPatients with intraarticular resection and endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus with reconstruction that included synthetic mesh had better shoulder function and ROM, and more stable joints than patients who had reconstruction without synthetic mesh. This result supports prior observations by others and it remains to be shown whether use of the ligament advanced reconstruction system is superior to other types of mesh or other types of reconstructions. Further investigation is needed but our results indicate that using mesh should be considered for patients with tumor resection and endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus.
