The prevalence of the rotator cuff tears increases with the age reaching the 80% in patients aged more than 80 year. Symptomatic shoulders usually are initially treated conservatively and then, in case of poor outcomes, with surgery. Different parameters are still used to decide between the conservative or surgical treatment in patients with rotator cuff tears. Aim of the current study is to characterize the various features used in decision making and to validate a "Prediction Score" that let us know which patients could have a good and stable outcome with non operative treatment. We enrolled 60 patients (mean age 52 years) with symptomatic rotator cuff tears who were assigned to conservative treatment and were evaluated at 6,9 and 12 months follow-up. We developed a score based on 18 clinical and radiographic parameters. 27 patients ("non conservative") (45%) with a mean prediction score of...

Background: Proximal humerus fractures are common in clinical practice and represent 4-5% of all fractures and the most frequent after 65 years. ORIF with plates and screws is the treatment of choice in these three-four fragments proximal humerus fractures. Different materials are now available and metal or CRF-PEEK are the most used. Methods Methods: We enrolled 42 patients who underwent ORIF with CRF-PEEK (21) and metal (21) plates for proximal humerus fractures with a minimum follow up of two years. Patients were evaluated using Costant Score (CS), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), ROM and VAS. Radiographic evaluation, at last follow up, evaluated tuberosities resorption, lateral humeral cortex thickness and Deltoid Tuberosity Index (DTI).
