Rasmussen JV, et al. - In the treatment of osteoarthritis, researchers compared the short-term survival rate of total stemless, metaphyseal fixated, shoulder arthroplasty with that of total stemmed shoulder arthroplasty. From 2011 to 2016, all patients with osteoarthritis treated with either stemless (n = 761) or stemmed (n = 4398) shoulder arthroplasty were included. For stemless shoulder arthroplasty, the 6-year unadjusted cumulative survival rates were 0.953 and for stemmed shoulder arthroplasty 0.958. Infection was the most common indication for revision of both types of arthroplasty. According to findings, the short-term survival of total stemless shoulder arthroplasty seems to be comparable to total stemmed shoulder arthroplasty, but it takes longer observation time to confirm that they continue to perform equally.
