Titanium alloys have emerged as the most successful metallic material to ever be applied in
the field of biomedical engineering. This comprehensive review covers the history of titanium …

Background We performed a meta-analysis of studies with at least Level IV evidence to
compare outcomes between hemiarthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty for the …

Background: There has been serious concern regarding the longevity and durability of
outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in younger patients. It was the …

Objectives: This study was performed to identify the risk factors for reduction loss after
locking plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures. Design: Retrospective study. Setting …

Background: The aim of this study was to determine if fracture reduction, fracture pattern,
and patient-related factors influence clinical outcome after locked-plate fixation of displaced …

Despite numerous available treatment strategies, the management of complex proximal
humeral fractures remains demanding. Impaired bone quality and considerable …

Since the introduction of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in 1987 (in Europe) and
2004 (in the United States), the number of RTSAs performed annually has increased …

Background To date, there is a lack of consensus regarding surgical treatment
recommendations for complex proximal humerus fracture (PHF) patterns, especially …

Background Osteoporosis may complicate surgical fixation and healing of proximal humerus
fractures and should be assessed preoperatively. Peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT) and the …

Background On the basis of patients' demands, bone quality, and fracture type, we
developed an evidence-based treatment algorithm for proximal humerus fractures (PHF) that …
