Painful hematologic conditions affecting the shoulder.

C H Epps

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
    |March 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Shoulder pain from hematologic disorders often resolves with medical treatment. Surgery for shoulder osteonecrosis is reserved for severe humeral head destruction, with joint replacement options depending on glenoid cartilage integrity.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Shoulder pain can be a symptom of systemic hematologic diseases.
    • Treatment of the underlying hematologic condition is crucial for symptom resolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the management of shoulder pain in patients with hematologic disorders.
    • To define the indications for surgical intervention in cases of humeral head osteonecrosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations and treatment outcomes for shoulder pain associated with hematologic conditions.
    • Evaluation of surgical options including hemiarthroplasty and total joint arthroplasty based on humeral head and glenoid damage.

    Main Results:

    • Medical management of the primary hematologic disorder is the initial treatment for shoulder pain.
    • Surgical intervention is indicated for extensive humeral head destruction, with prosthetic replacement considered for severe osteonecrosis.
    • Shoulder hemiarthroplasty is viable with intact glenoid cartilage; total joint arthroplasty is necessary for combined humeral head and glenoid damage.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient-centered management, prioritizing function and comfort, is essential.
    • Surgical treatment for shoulder pain in this context should be conservative, considering the non-weight-bearing nature of the joint.
