Five-year Outcome of Arthroscopic Partial Humeral Head Resurfacing-Dr. Leo Pauzenberger, M.D., PhD.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the technique of partial humeral head resurfacing. They demonstrate using a drill guide and a guide pin to create a transhumeral portal, and then using a retrograde reamer to prepare the bone for the implant. The implant is then inserted and secured with a screwdriver. The speaker presents five-year data on the procedure, showing that clinical scores improved significantly post-operatively and remained stable over the follow-up period. The study found that implant size did not affect outcomes, and that pain levels decreased. However, failures occurred in patients with glenoid defects, so this combination is not recommended. The procedure was found to be safe with no neurological complications and effective in improving patient outcomes.
