Study Notes
Humeral and Glenoid Anatomy
- Humeral articular cartilage constitutes 1/3 of the humeral head sphere.
- There is a constant ratio between the humeral head diameter and the height of the articular cartilage.
- The anatomic neck is the approximate line for humeral head osteotomy.
- Humeral retroversion occurs at approximately 30 degrees, divided into 10 degrees at the elbow and 20 degrees at the humeral head.
Glenoid Morphology
- Key morphological considerations of the glenoid include depth, version, inclination, and anatomical position relative to the scapula.
- Arthritis can alter these four morphological features.
- Walch Classification categorizes glenoid arthritic changes.
Walch Classification Overview
- Classification A indicates humeral heads centered in the glenoid.
- A1 denotes no glenoid erosion with humeral head centered.
- A2 involves a centered humeral head with significant glenoid erosion.
- Classification B shows posterior subluxation of the humeral head.
- B1 indicates narrowing of the glenohumeral joint due to posterior subluxation.
- B2 features posterior glenoid erosion with retroversion leading to paleo-glenoid and neo-glenoid.
- Classification C involves over 25 degrees of retroversion and dysplastic glenoid.
Osteoarthritis (OA) Insights
- The most common wear pattern in shoulder OA is posterior wear/retroversion.
- Hallmarks of OA visible on X-rays include osteophytes, subchondral cysts, and joint space narrowing.
Surgical Approaches and Techniques
- The deltopectoral approach is the most common for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse TSA (RTSA).
- Rotator cuff arthropathy features severe muscle atrophy, humeral head elevation, intact nerve conduction, and decreased acromio-humeral distance.
Glenoid Polyethylene and Fixation
- Glenoid poly material is UHMWPE with options for pegged, keeled, and vault lock designs for fixation.
- Vault lock glenoid design promotes immediate fixation and reduces OR time while enhancing long-term survivorship through bony interdigitation.
Implant Design and Features
- Univers II and Apex systems allow inclination variability of 125-140 degrees and retroversion variability of ±10 degrees.
- Distal dip diameter is critical when selecting TSA stem sizes.
- Apex stems are designed for less post-operative pain and faster recovery by using shorter stems and similar geometry to standard models.
Specific Functional Elements
- Stability for glenoid poly is achieved through subchondral bone interactions, essential in TSA.
- Screw angulation in proximal humeral fracture suture plates allows up to 60 degrees of variability.
Clinical Guidelines and Indications
- Requirements for superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) include large irreparable rotator cuff tears and a functional deltoid muscle.
- CA heads are indicated for deltoid insufficiency instead of RTSA, highlighting the importance of muscle integrity in surgical planning.
Storage and Preparation
- AFLEX dermal allografts must be used promptly after being kept frozen, providing a thickness of 3.0 mm for specific techniques.
Radiographic Evaluation
- CT scans must be compressed before uploading to the VIP system, ensuring efficient data handling in surgical planning.### Humeral Canal Preparation
- Preparation involves reaming to the appropriate size and implantation of the stem for the univers shoulder fracture system.
Glenoid Targeted Coordinates
- Turnaround time for receiving glenoid targeted coordinates after VIP plan approval is 48 hours.
Adjustable Height in Arthrex Univers FX System
- The adjustable height feature of the Arthrex univers FX system stem allows for a height adjustment of +/- 7.5mm.
Wolff's Law
- Wolff's Law indicates that changes in stress on a bone result in adaptations, suggesting bones remodel in response to the forces exerted on them.
Candidate Selection for Percutaneous Pinning
- A patient with a high likelihood for avascular necrosis (AVN) is not a good candidate for percutaneous pinning of a proximal humeral fracture.
