Can pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty overcome the historical limitations of metallic implants in young, active patients with glenohumeral arthritis?

In this commentary on Hatzidakis et al., Sanchez-Sotelo argues that while short-term data suggest pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty outperforms traditional cobalt-chromium cohorts in both overall success and 3-year revision-free survival, its long-term value must still be measured against contemporary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The perspective highlights critical clinical takeaways, including the observation that outcomes are often superior when the glenoid is left unmodified in the absence of eccentric erosion.

Thirty years after its inception, how does the Vancouver Classification System (VCS) adapt to the complexities of modern cementless implants and interprosthetic fractures?

In this commentary on Duncan et al., Citak argues that while the VCS remains the gold standard for clinical communication, surgeons must remain vigilant regarding its limitations, specifically the difficulty of assessing cementless stem stability and the necessity of incorporating interprosthetic fracture patterns. The perspective emphasizes that as fixation technologies evolve, the classification must continue to refine its focus on intraoperative stability and contemporary osteosynthesis techniques.
