Observational analysis demonstrates improved bone healing in shoulder arthroplasty, suggesting a safe technique for component extraction.
(1) VIH facilitates extraction of well-fixed cemented or uncemented humeral components and prevents iatrogenic humeral fractures in revision shoulder arthroplasty, and (2) Suture fixation, using suture loops (Nice Loop; Tornier-Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) and a non-sliding knot ("Nice knot"), provides constant bone healing and is an alternative to wire for cerclage fixation of humerotomy.
