Item Radiographic changes around the glenoid component in primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty at mid-term follow-up(Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2020) Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Galán Olleros, María; Rodríguez Rodríguez, Luis; García Fernández, Carlos; Marco Martínez, FernandoBackground: Some local events after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) occur without the patient experiencing symptoms and yet may be detected on diagnostic imaging, thereby serving as indicators of future complications that may require revision. Most of these events involve the glenoid component, but radiographic studies evaluating this component are scarce, especially medium- and long-term studies. This study aimed to analyze the radiographic changes around the glenoid component and determine the risk factors associated with the presence of these radiographic changes. Materials and methods: A retrospective review of 105 primary Grammont-style RSAs implanted between 2003 and 2014 was conducted. Radiographic outcomes were evaluated in patients with ≥5 years of radiographic follow-up. Standardized digital radiographs obtained immediately postoperatively and at a minimum follow-up time of 5 years were analyzed to determine (1) glenoid component position (inclination and height) and (2) minor radiographic changes (Sirveaux grade 1 or 2 scapular notching; nondisplaced acromial fracture; radiolucent lines around 1 or 2 screws; Brooker grade 1a, 1b, or 2 heterotopic calcifications; or single screw rupture), as well as major radiographic changes (Sirveaux grade 3 or 4 scapular notching; radiolucent lines around ≥3 screws or central peg; Brooker grade 1c or 3 heterotopic calcifications; prosthetic dislocation; loosening or migration; or disassembly). Results: Major radiologic changes were identified in 14.3% of the cases. Bivariate analysis showed that more changes were associated with the arthroplasties implanted in the first years of the study (odds ratio [OR] = 0.81, P = .012). This time-related variable was also associated with inclination (OR = 0.88, P = .045) and height (OR = 0.75, P = .001), improving in arthroplasties implanted in the last years of the study. Multivariate analysis revealed an increased risk of severe scapular notching mainly associated with superior tilt (OR = 2.52, P = .036) and a high (OR = 2.68, P = .019) or excessively high (OR = 7.55, P = .013) position and an increased risk of loosening signs associated with superior tilt (OR = 8.92, P = 9.1 × 10-6). Conclusions: The percentage of radiologic changes of the glenoid component in RSA is considerable, despite the detection of a decrease in their presence among the arthroplasties implanted outside the initial period. Superior tilt and an excessively high position appear to be associated with a severe degree of scapular notching development and increased risk of radiographic loosening signs. Knowledge of the factors associated with major radiologic changes in the medium-term follow-up will help to optimize the primary surgical technique for each patient and indication, improving implant survival in primary RSA surgery.Item Acromioclavicular joint dislocation associated with a coracoid process fracture: report of 2 cases(JSES International, 2020) Galán Olleros, María; Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Arvinius, Camila; García Fernández, Carlos; Marco Martínez, FernandoItem Reverse shoulder arthroplasty versus nonoperative treatment for 3- or 4-part proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients: a prospective randomized controlled trial(Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2019) Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Alcobía Díaz, Borja; Galán Olleros, María; García Fernández, Carlos; Lopez Picado, Amanda; Marco Martínez, FernandoBackground: Proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) are among the most common fractures in elderly patients, but there is insufficient evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine which interventions are the most appropriate for their management. To date, no RCT has directly compared reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with nonoperative treatment for 3- or 4-part PHFs in elderly patients. Methods: This was a prospective RCT. The primary objective was to compare pain and function 12 months after fracture using the Constant score in patients aged 80 years or older with 3- and 4-part PHFs, treated by either RSA or nonoperative treatment. Secondary outcome measures included Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, visual analog scale (VAS), Short Form 12 (SF-12), EuroQol 5 Dimensions, and EQ-VAS scores. Results: We analyzed 30 nonoperative and 29 RSA patients with mean ages of 85 years and 82 years, respectively. No differences between the nonoperative and RSA groups were noted for any patient-reported outcomes at 12 months' follow-up except the VAS pain score. The Constant scores were 55.7 in the nonoperative group and 61.7 in the RSA group (P = .071); the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores were 29 and 21, respectively (P = .075); the VAS scores were 1.6 and 0.9, respectively (P = .011); the physical SF-12 scores were 36 and 37, respectively (P = .709); the mental SF-12 scores were 43 and 42, respectively (P = .625); the EuroQol 5 Dimensions scores were 0.89 and 0.92, respectively (P = .319); and the EQ-VAS scores were 65 and 67, respectively (P = .604). Conclusions: This study yields important evidence for the treatment of complex PHFs in elderly patients suggesting minimal benefits of RSA over nonoperative treatment for displaced 3- and 4-part PHFs. At short-term follow-up, the main advantage of RSA appeared to be less pain perception.Item Complex fractures of the distal humerus in the elderly: primary total elbow arthroplasty or open reduction and internal fixation? Mid-term follow-up(International Orthopaedics, 2021) Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Garríguez Pérez, Daniel; García Fernández, Carlos; Baño, Laura del; Galán Olleros, María; Marco Martínez, FernandoObjective: To compare the mid-term outcomes in intra-articular distal humerus fracture (AO/OTA type C) treated with either open reduction-internal fixation (ORIF) or total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) in patients older than 75 years and with more than five years of follow-up. Methods: Retrospective study including 24 patients (11 TEA vs. 13 ORIF) with a mean age of 82 years and being all females. Results assessed included (1) radiographic measures; (2) functional results: range of motion, Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), quick-DASH; and (3) complications. Results: TEA group vs. ORIF group achieved a mean flexion of 117° ± 9.6° vs. 106° ± 14°, extension loss of 38° ± 17° vs. 30.8° ± 16°, pronation 75° ± 5° vs. 85° ± 7° and supination 75° ± 4° vs. 70° ± 5°. Mean MEPS score was 71.6 vs. 83.6 (p = .183) and mean quick-DASH was 44.8 vs. 42.6 (p = .789). All 13 patients in the ORIF group demonstrated radiographic signs of bone union and none underwent conversion to TEA. Sixty-three percent of the patients in the TEA group underwent re-operation at an average of 72 months (62.4-75.2 months), including three for periprosthetic fracture and four for implant loosening. Whereas in the ORIF group, 23% of the patients were re-operated upon excluding olecranon osteotomy hardware, two for stiffness, and one for an olecranon tension band wire failure. Conclusions: Although there were no differences in mid-term functional outcomes between either treatment, our results suggest that the recent trend towards the use of TEA instead of ORIF in the elderly should be re-examined due to the high rate of complications beyond five years of follow-up with TEA.Item Does fluoroscopy improve baseplate position compared to conventional technique in reverse shoulder arthroplasty? A preliminary study(Shoulder and Elbow, 2021) Galán Olleros, María; Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Ciller, Gabriel; Alcobía Díaz, Borja; García Fernández, Carlos; Marco Martínez, FernandoBackground: Accurate placement of glenoid component in reverse shoulder arthroplasty remains a challenge for surgeons of all levels of expertise; however, no studies have evaluated the utility of fluoroscopy as a surgical assistance method. Methods: Prospective comparative study of 33 patients undergoing primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty during a 12-month period. Fifteen patients had a baseplate placed using the conventional "free hand" technique (control group), and 18 patients using intraoperative fluoroscopy assistance group, in a case-control design. Postoperative glenoid position was evaluated on postoperative Computed Tomography (CT) scan. Results: The mean deviation of version and inclination for fluoroscopy assistance vs. control group was 1.75° (0.675-3.125) vs. 4.2° (1.975-10.45) (p = .015), and 3.85° (0-7.225) vs. 10.35° (4.35-18.75) (p = .009). The distance from the central peg midpoint to the inferior glenoid rim (fluoroscopy assistance 14.61 mm/control 4.75 mm, p = .581) and the surgical time (fluoroscopy assistance 1.93 ± 0.57/control 2.18 ± 0.44 h, p = .400) showed no differences, with an average radiation dose of 0.45 mGy and fluoroscopy time of 14 s. Conclusions: Accurate axial and coronal scapular plane positioning of glenoid component is improved with intraoperative fluoroscopy at the cost of a greater radiation dose and without differences in surgical time. Comparative studies are needed to determine whether their use in relation to more expensive surgical assistance systems result in similar effectiveness.L evel of evidence : Level III, therapeutic study.
