Research paper thumbnail of Salvage Treatment for a Periprosthetic Humeral Nonunion: A Case Report

Due to the patient's severe osteoarthritis of the ipsilateral shoulder and significant humeral deformity, a procedure linking the total elbow arthroplasty to the reverse shoulder implant via a cemented allograft-composite linkage sleeve was performed. Previous literature suggests upper extremity salvage surgery using large-scale allografts is successful in treating large tumor or infection-derived defects, though data is lacking as to whether this treatment is effective in periprosthetic fractures in patients with significant comorbidities. This patient's success in the postoperative year supports the use of allograft-composite reconstruction followed by linkage to a reverse shoulder implant as a salvage treatment for periprosthetic fractures under certain conditions, such as multiple adjacent implants, bone deformity, and severe osteoarthritis.

Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immune therapy are the major types of treatment strategies that have been implemented in cancer treatment. Unfortunately, these treatment options suffer from major limitations, such as drug-resistance and adverse effects, which may eventually result in disease recurrence. Many phytochemicals have been investigated for their antitumor efficacy in preclinical models and clinical studies to discover newer therapeutic agents with fewer adverse effects. Withaferin A, a natural bioactive molecule isolated from the Indian medicinal plant Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, has been reported to impart anticancer activities against various cancer cell lines and preclinical cancer models by modulating the expression and activity of different oncogenic proteins. In this article, we have comprehensively discussed the biosynthesis of withaferin...
