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.

Elderly patient falls are expensive and may cause serious harm. Studies have identified the sit-to-stand-and-walk (STSW) task as the task where the greatest number of elderly patient falls occur. There is a great need to identify the particular movement and environmental conditions that lead to these elderly patient falls. This study begins to address this gap by evaluating the elderly patient during self-selected hospital bed egress. Using an observed fall risk episode (FRE) as a fall proxy, statistically significant parameters were identified which include bed height, pausing prior to initiating gait, level of fall risk, and Stand phase. Low bed height was identified as the least safe bed height. Patient-specific bed height (PSBH) using the patient’s lower leg length (LLL) is recommended. In addition, suggested guidelines are presented for clinical application in setting PSBH without measuring the patient’s LLL.
