Long‐Term Results of Anatomic Stemless Shoulder Prosthesis in Patients With Primary Osteoarthritis
Stemless anatomic shoulder prostheses demonstrate sustained improvements in function and range of motion, with high patient satisfaction and low revision rates, even after exceptionally long follow‐up. Outcomes are comparable to other stemless designs, supporting their long‐term effectiveness in primary osteoarthritis.

Laser Disinfection Acts as Biofilm‐Disrupter in Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)
ABSTRACT Infections after joint arthroplasties represent a devastating and progressively escalating complication with increased morbidity and mortality. The eradication of biofilms from infected implants is still an unsolved challenge. The erbium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, which delivers high‐energy light for rapid tissue ablation ...
