Functional outcome after proximal humeral fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty
Objective: To evaluate functional outcome after hemiarthroplasty for displaced proximal humeral frac-
tures and to review whether prosthesis type, intraoperative technique or previous ipsilateral shoulder
surgery could affect the outcome.
Conclusion: We conclude that soft tissue status and operative technique play an im- portant role in late postoperative pain and range of motion. Hemiarthroplasty after failed open reduc- tion and internal fixation is associated with inferior results. We were unable to show a difference in long- term outcome related to the prosthesis type.

Medial wear of the polyethylene component associated with heterotopic ossification after reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Medial wear on the polyethylene
component after reverse shoulder
arthroplasty (RSA) has been attributed to
impingement of the humeral cup on the
lateral border of the scapula. We present
a case that illustrates that the presence of
early heterotopic ossification may exacer-
bate medial wear of the polyethylene
component in cases of RSA.
