[Shoulder arthroplasty].

Every year, almost 500 shoulder arthroplasties are performed in Denmark. About two-thirds are done due to fractures of the proximal humerus. Other common indications are rheumatoid arthritis and primary or secondary arthrosis. The prosthesis is fixed with or without bone cement. If the rotator cuff is lacking, an inverse total arthroplasty can be used, and in arthrosis/arthritis with good bone stock, a resurfacing prosthesis can be used. Good pain relief can be expected, but shoulder movement will usually be permanently inhibited.

[Elbow arthroplasty].

Each year, about 80 elbow arthroplasties are performed in Denmark. Approximately two thirds are done due to rheumatoid arthritis, the others due to comminuted fractures of the elbow, especially in elderly patients. The prosthesis is fixed with or without bone cement, and there are two different types of elbow prostheses: linked, in which the humerus and ulna are connected by a sloppy hinge, and non-linked, in which stability is dependent on the soft tissues of the elbow. Good pain relief can be expected, but the range of motion will usually be permanently affected.

[Posttraumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle].

Posttraumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle (ODC) is a very rare condition that occurs after acute injury or repetitive microtrauma of the shoulder and which is characterized by persistent shoulder pain, restricted shoulder motion, and progressive osteolytic changes at the outer end of the clavicle. A case of posttraumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicleis presented and the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

Bone bruise in the acutely injured knee.

We used MRI to study the lesions in a consecutive group of 64 patients with an acute trauma of the knee and normal plain radiography during the winter season. Bone bruise was present in 35 of the patients, and these were referred to subsequent MRI 4 and 12 months later. After 4 months bone bruise was still present in 69% of the patients and after 12 months in 12%. Soft tissue lesions, for example, lesion in the meniscus, ACL rupture, or MCL lesion was present in 94% of the patients with bone bruise. Interobserver agreement varied from good to excellent. Soft tissue lesions are found in almost all patients with bone bruise, and these generally resolve 4-12 months after the injury. In the patients with no bone bruise the number of ligament injuries was lower.
