Primary or idiopathic osteoarthritis occurs in previously intact joints without any inciting agent. Its precise incidence is not known. If conservative treatment fails, there are a variety of surgical procedures described in the literature. Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is primarily indicated in patients above 60 years old with symptomatic glenohumeral OA and intact rotator cuff and failed conservative treatment. However, it is rarely recommended to young or active patients under the age of 50 due to its increased morbidity, limited lifespan, potential for revision surgeries, and difficulty achieving the same preoperative activity level, particularly in patients with high preoperative level of activity. Comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM), hemiarthroplasty (HA), and TSA provide good results even in the long term for treatment of primary OA in properly selected young patients. A CAM procedure seems to be a reasonable option in case of conservative treatment failure, localized cartilage defect, tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps, stiffness, inferior osteophytes, and humeral head congruity.

We conducted a narrative literature review by searching Medline, CENTRAL and Embase up to October 1, 2024, with independent dual-reviewer screening.

Five studies evaluated ML in diagnosis, showing promising accuracy, yet requiring broader validation in larger, more diverse clinical contexts. Two studies addressed prognosis, but models remain limited in providing individualized, treatment-specific insights. The development of ML models represents an interesting approach, given the rising prevalence of PJIs and the need for better management. However, available studies face important limitations, including small sample sizes, lack of external validation and limited transparency regarding parameters and models.

SD predominantly affects children from 6 to 48 months old, and the lumbar spine seems to be most at risk; no specific markers are currently available for a biological diagnosis of SD. Blood cultures are often negative, and even disc or bone biopsies show limited yields. However, recent advances in nucleic acid amplification tests have laid the foundations for developing and implementing more efficient methods of identifying pathogens in samples. Microbiologically, Kingella kingae dominates in children from 6 to 48 months old, while Staphylococcus aureus is more common in infants under 6 months and in older children. High-throughput sequencing performed on plasma samples (recognised as liquid biopsy) is a promising multi-purpose tool that can detect not only pathogens circulating in the bloodstream but also those emanating from focal infections, something particularly interesting in cases of paediatric SD, where disc sampling is strongly discouraged.
