Introduction Ankle fusion has traditionally been the “gold standard” treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. However, because of recent improvements in prosthetic design and encouraging short- to medium-term results, there has been a renewed

Introduction Septic arthritis is an acute infection of the joint that occurs most commonly in young children. The infection is mainly monoarticular, and is frequently localized in the knee and hip joints, while it is less frequent in the

Shoulder arthroplasty is a demanding procedure with a known complication rate. Most complications are associated with the glenoid component, a fact that has stimulated investigation into that specific component of the implant. Avoiding glenoid component malposition is very important and is a key reason for recent developments in pre-operative planning and instrumentation to minimise risk.
-
Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) was developed as an alternative to navigation systems, originally for total knee arthroplasty, and is a valid option for shoulder replacements today. It offers increased accuracy in the placement of the glenoid component, which improves the likelihood of an optimal outcome.

A description of the method of pre-operative planning and surgical technique is presented, based on the author’s experience and a review of the current literature.
