Prothèses d’épaule anatomiques et cals vicieux
Les travaux réalisés en collaboration avec le Dr Teissier (Montpellier, Shoulder Unit Surgery, Hopital Saint-Jean) ont été publiés dans International Orthopaedics. Les principaux résultats montrent que grâce à cet implant moderne sans tige, il est possible d’opérer les cas compliqués d’arthrose post traumatisme (fracture, nécrose…) sans réaliser d’ostéotomie.
L’absence d’ostéotomie humérale est un atout majeur, améliorant les résultats post-opératoires et diminuant les complications.

PURPOSE:
When the proximal humeral anatomy is altered because of malunion, shoulder arthroplasty is a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon, and tuberosity osteotomy should be avoided whenever possible. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of anatomic stemless shoulder arthroplasty in cases of malunion. We hypothesized that a stemless prosthesis can be implanted without performing tuberosity osteotomy.
METHODS:
We conducted a continuous, single surgeon, retrospective case series study with a minimum follow-up of two years (mean of 44 months, range 24-80). The Constant-Murley score, active range of motion and X-rays were evaluated in 27 patients (mean age of 60 years, range 37-83) with proximal humeral malunion who were treated with a stemless anatomic shoulder prosthesis.
RESULTS:
In all patients, the prosthesis was implanted without the need for tuberosity osteotomy. The Constant score improved from 27 to 62 (p ≤ 0.001), active anterior elevation from 81° to 129° (p ≤ 0.001), and external rotation from 5° to 40° (p ≤ 0.001). There was no evidence of radiological loosening.
CONCLUSIONS:
Use of a stemless anatomic shoulder prosthesis avoids the need for tuberosity osteotomy and certain surgical difficulties, even in cases of severe tuberosity malunion, and leads to good functional outcomes in the short term.
