GLENOID REPLACEMENT IN TOTAL SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1998
The outcome of total shoulder arthroplasty is largely based on the quality of glenoid component fixation, which, in turn, is related to the amount and quality of bone stock, glenohumeral stability, and rotator cuff function. This article discusses the anatomic and pathologic indications for glenoid replacement, surgical techniques, and results.

Hinged Knee Replacement in Revision Arthroplasty

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
Fifty-two Stanmore hinged knee replacements were used as revision arthroplasties for failed arthroplasties. The patients were followed for a mean of 44.7 months. On clinical examination, 23% had good, 48% fair, and 29% poor results. Worst results were achieved when revising bulkier or more constrained primary knee joints.
