Previous studies suggest that high estrogen states, including those induced by estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), are associated with osteoarthritis and an increased risk of revisions after hip and/or knee arthroplasty.

Currently, there is a lack of knowledge regarding returning to yoga following shoulder arthroplasty.

Treatment options vary based on factors like age, bone quality, fracture complexity, and surgical expertise. Management may involve conservative methods or surgical procedures, such as open reduction and internal fixation using Proximal Humerus Interlocking Osteosynthesis (PHILOS) plates. The choice of approach depends on the fracture fragments and their displacement. This study compares the functional outcomes of 2 surgical approaches: ‘The Conventional Deltopectoral approach and the Anterior Deltoid split approach’, postoperatively at a 1 year follow-up measured using Neer's Criteria.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from April 2021 to November 2022. It included 40 patients with displaced proximal humerus fractures, equally divided into 2 groups: 1 treated with the conventional Deltopectoral approach, and the other with the Anterior Deltoid split approach.

The Anterior Deltoid split approach had advantages such as less intraoperative blood loss and better early functional scores due to minimal soft tissue dissection. However, it involved a longer operative time than the Deltopectoral approach. The Deltopectoral approach provided a wider surgical field and was more effective for treating anterior dislocations. The Deltopectoral approach had a higher risk of humeral head necrosis, likely due to extensive soft tissue disruption, whereas the deltoid split approach better preserved blood supply, reducing risk of avascular necrosis. The deltoid split approach was ideal for posterior comminution, posterior fracture dislocations, and utilized an avascular plane, while the Deltopectoral approach was preferred for medial calcar comminution, anterior fracture dislocations, and followed an internervous plane.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Both the Deltopectoral and Anterior Deltoid split approaches are effective in managing proximal humerus fractures, with no significant differences in long-term functional outcomes. The choice of approach should depend on the surgeon's familiarity with the technique, specific fracture characteristics, and the need to minimize soft tissue damage to enhance recovery and reduce the chances of avascular necrosis.

However, there are concerns regarding the inflammatory responses and foreign body reactions associated with the use of foreign substances. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of type I bovine collagen bioinductive implants in ARCR.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 74 patients who underwent ARCR using the surface-holding method; 37 patients were treated with bioinductive collagen implants (R group) and 37 patients were treated without implants (N-R group). The participants underwent routine preoperative blood tests at 1 and 2 weeks postoperatively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed at 1 week and 6-8 weeks postoperatively. The safety of the implant was assessed using serum inflammatory responses, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) counts, and the presence of effusions in the glenohumeral joints and subacromial bursa on MRI. In addition, the need for reoperation owing to infection or foreign body reactions was examined. Statistical analyses were performed using Mann–Whitney <em>U</em> tests and Wilcoxon signed–rank tests for CRP and WBC counts and Fisher’s exact probability tests for effusions on MRI. Statistical significance was set at <em>P</em> < .05.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>CRP levels and WBC counts normalized within 2 weeks postoperatively in both the R and N-R groups, with no significant differences between the groups at any time point. Effusions in the glenohumeral joints and subacromial bursa were present in both groups and were not significantly different between the R and N-R groups at 1 and 6-8 weeks postoperatively. No reoperations due to infection or inflammatory responses were observed within 6 months postoperatively in either group.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The use of reconstituted type I bovine collagen bioinductive implants in ARCR did not significantly affect postoperative inflammatory responses or increase the risk of effusion. The absence of reoperations due to clinical infections or foreign body reactions further supports the safety of the implants.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34444,"journal":{"name":"JSES International","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 1177-1182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
