Os cistos ósseos simples são, em regra, assintomáticos e encontrados incidentalmente, embora possam causar dor, edema, rigidez da articulação adjacente ou estarem associados a um quadro de fratura patológica. A curetagem é o modo mais comum de tratamento. O defeito ósseo após curetagem deve ser preenchido com enxertos ósseos ou substitutos, como hidroxiapatita, fosfato tricálcico e cimento. Entretanto, a falha no tratamento pode ser devastadora para o ombro, em decorrência da perda biomecânica da área. Assim, a reconstrução do úmero proximal, após a ressecção do cisto, é um grande desafio para o cirurgião ortopédico. Este caso relata a colocação de uma prótese reversa de ombro (PRO), realizada após a falha do tratamento de um cisto ósseo simples, como uma solução eficiente para a reparação do problema.   Simple bone cyst are commonly asymptomatic and incidentally found, although they can cause pain, edema, stiffness of the adjacent joint or be associated with a pathological fracture. Curettage is the most common way of treating simple bone cysts. The bone defect after curettage must be filled with bone grafts or substitutes such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate and cement. However, treatment failure can be devastating for the shoulder, due to the biomechanical loss of the area. Thus, the reconstruction of the proximal humerus after resection of the cyst is a major challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. This case reports the placement of a reverse shoulder prosthesis (PRO), performed after the failure of the treatment of a simple bone cyst, as an efficient solution to the problems related to the failure of treatment for the simple bone cyst.

Abstract Aim The treatment of impacted or un-displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly osteoporotic patient is still largely debated, with arthroplasty versus internal fixation two surgical options1. Our aim was to retrospectively review patients over the age of 80 with un-displaced intracapsular hip fractures who had undergone internal fixation and assess their rate of mortality and revision surgery. Method We conducted a retrospective review of all patients with femoral neck fractures over a 4-year period between January 2015 to December 2018. We refined this to only patients over the age of 80 with un-displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures fixed with cannulated screws. We noted their mental and mobility status, their follow-up attendance over 3 years, their mortality and rate of revision surgery. Results There were a total of 1232 femoral neck fractures in a 4-year period. Of these, 37 were >80 with un-displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures, with 23 fixed with cannulated screws and 14 with a Dynamic Hip Screw. Mean age – 85, M:F (1:4.75). All patients were either Garden Classification Type I or II. 4% had cognitive impairment. All patients were independently mobile. 83% were followed up for 3 years, with 1 patient (4%) undergoing revision surgery 3 years following cannulated screw fixation. The 30-day mortality rate was 5%. Conclusions The treatment choice for un-displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures in the elderly remains debateable. Our retrospective review shows that the rate of re-operation is low in patients who have undergone fixation with cannulated screws and so this remains a viable option.

Background and Objective. Intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck account for a major share of fractures in the elderly. Open reduction and internal fixation has been shown to have a higher rate of revision surgery than arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the rates of revision surgery performed after internal fixation and primary total hip arthroplasty. Material and Methods. Between 2004 and 2006, 681 intracapsular femoral neck fractures in 679 consecutive patients were treated with internal fixation or total hip arthroplasty at our institution. Revision surgery rates were evaluated at 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up. Results. There was no significant difference in the ratio of internal fixation to total hip arthroplasty during 2004–2006 (P=0.31). The mean rate of total hip arthroplasty was 19.1% with a lower rate being among patients younger than 60 years. Revision surgery rates at the 2-year followup were higher in the internal fixation group compared with total hip arthroplasty group (28.9% vs. 7.0%, P<0.001). Patients who underwent internal fixation were at a 4-fold greater risk of having revision surgery at the 2-year follow-up than those who underwent total hip arthroplasty (odds ratio, 4.11; 95% CI, 1.95–8.65; P<0.001). Age was a significant risk factor for revision surgery after total hip arthroplasty (hazard ratio, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.87–0.98; P=0.02), but not significant after the internal fixation (P=0.86). Conclusions. Higher revision surgery rates after internal fixation favors arthroplasty as a primary choice of treatment for the femoral neck fractures.
