    Abstract: ABSTRACT: A bipolar implant was designed by the author in 1975 for reconstruction of the severely arthritic shoulder. It has the advantage of not requiring glenoidal component fixation, but still provides an artificial joint interface. The ball of the humeral intramedullary stemmed component articulates with a polyethylene bearing within the glenoid cup component. This bipolar prosthesis was implanted in 15 shoulders of patients who presented severe arthritic shoulder disabilities. The follow up period averaged 41 months. Nine patients had rheumatoid arthritis, and five had osteoarthritis; all presented with severe pain and joint crepitation with loss of motion. A "shoulder score" system, based on the rating of pain, activities of daily living and range ot motion, was devised to categorize the results obtained. Patients obtained greatly improved range of motion with good to excellent pain relief and very good functional restoration. Radiographically, the implant was well tolerated and there was no stem loosening. This procedure appears to be safe and efficacious for use in the severely arthritic shoulder.

    Bateman Bipolar Hip Arthroplasty: A Review of 44 Cases

    Abstract: ABSTRACT: A consecutive series of 71 Bateman hemiarthroplasties were performed in a single hospital over a 20-month period. Forty-four hips or 62% were available for review with an average follow up of 22 months. Of the 44 cases, the Bateman Universal Proximal Femur, original design was used in 40 acute, displaced femora! neck fractures, two failed Austin Moore prostheses, and two cases of femoral head osteonecrosis unassociated with fracture. The mean Harris hip score was 84.7%. Of the patients 93.2% had minimal or no pain. The range of motion was excellent and the dislocation rate was 1.8%. Morbidity was not increased compared to more conventional unipolar implant procedures. The Bateman Universal Proximal Femur (UPF) is felt to offer improved surgical results compared to Austin Moore and Thompson prostheses, and this may be due to the low friction inner bearing motion that occurs with this bipolar implant.
