Literature article received: rudge, w., sewell, m., al-hadithy, n., wallace, c., lambert, s.(2015).Shoulder linked arthroplasty in patients with obstetric brachial plexus palsy can improve quality of life and function at short-term follow-up.J.Shoulder elbow surg 24, 1473-1480.The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine function and health-related quality of life (hrqol), radiographic findings, and survival and complications after total shoulder arthroplasty (sa) for young patients with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (obpp) and glenohumeral osteoarthritis (oa).The results of nine patients (3 men and 6 women, with a mean age of 29 years, age range 16-56), between 2006 and 2010 who were treated with a linked constrained sa (cadcam glenoid shell and humeral components including four 3.5mm or 4.5mm cortical screws) were reviewed.The patients had undergone a mean of 3 previous shoulder operations (range 2-6).Follow-up was at a mean of 5.1 years (range 2.6-7.6 years).Noted complication included a (b)(6) female patient who required trimming of a prominent glenoid screw and acromioclavicular joint excision at 33 months.This is report 1 of 1 for (b)(4).This report is for an unknown 3.5mm or 4.5mm cortical screw.
