New Publication: Long-Term Outcomes of Hemiarthroplasty and Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Humeral Head Avascular Necrosis: Etiology Drives Function, Physical Status Drives Mortality
FORE is proud to announce the publication of a new study in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Arthroplasty: “Long-Term Outcomes of Hemiarthroplasty and Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Humeral Head Avascular Necrosis: Etiology Drives Function, Physical Status Drives Mortality.”
Authored by Eric M. Cohen, BS; William A. Ranson, MD; Michael P. Kucharik, MD; Conrad Stoy, MD; Kaitlyn N. Christmas, BS, CCRC; Peter Simon, PhD; and Mark A. Frankle, MD, the study examines long-term outcomes of hemiarthroplasty and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with humeral head avascular necrosis. The findings show that the underlying cause of the condition is the key driver of functional outcomes, while a patient’s overall physical status is the stronger predictor of long-term mortality.
This publication reflects FORE’s ongoing commitment to producing rigorous, clinically relevant research that informs treatment decisions and improves patient outcomes. Congratulations
