A multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing a second-generation uncemented trabecular metal-backed vs. cemented polyethylene glenoid component in total shoulder arthroplasty: 5-year results
Previously, we reported early (2-year) findings from a randomized controlled trial comparing a second-generation uncemented trabecular metal-backed (TM) glenoid vs. cemented polyethylene glenoid (POLY) in patients undergoing a total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of the current study is to report disease-specific quality of life, clinical, patient-reported, and radiographic outcomes at midterm (5-year) from this trial.

Bony Encasement of the Ulnar Nerve Secondary to Heterotopic Ossification of the Elbow: An Evaluation of Long-Term Outcomes
Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow caused by heterotopic ossification (HO) is a rare condition. This retrospective study aims to report on 32 consecutive cases of ulnar nerve encasement caused by elbow HO and evaluate long-term outcomes of operative management and a standardized postoperative rehabilitation regimen.

A Multi-Centre, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing a Second-Generation Uncemented Trabecular Metal-backed versus Cemented Polyethylene Glenoid Component in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Five-year Results
Previously, we reported early (two-year) findings from a randomized controlled trial comparing a second-generation uncemented trabecular metal-backed (TM) glenoid versus cemented polyethylene glenoid (POLY) in patients undergoing a total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The purpose of the current study is to report disease-specific quality of life, clinical, patient-reported, and radiographic outcomes at midterm (five-year) from this trial.

Is preoperative planning reliable for predicting postoperative clinical differences in range of motion between two stem designs in reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Primary gleno-humeral osteoarthritis is associated with both excessive posterior humeral subluxation (PHS) and excessive glenoid retroversion in 40% of cases. These morphometric abnormalities are a particular issue since they may be responsible for a deterioration in long term clinical and radiological outcomes. The aim of this study was to perform a CT-analysis of patients who underwent Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) for primary osteoarthritis (OA) with B2-, B3- or C-type glenoids in whom an attempt was made to correct for excessive glenoid retroversion and excessive posterior humeral subluxation intraoperatively.

The Fragility of Statistical Findings in the Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Literature: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
In this study, we utilized the fragility index (FI), reverse fragility index (rFI), and fragility quotient (FQ) to assess the robustness of outcomes reported in RCTs in the RTSA literature. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Are Displaced Distal Clavicle Fractures Associated With Inferior Clinical Outcomes Following Non-operative Management? A Systematic Review.
Management of displaced distal clavicle fractures remains a topic of discussion due to notoriously high non-union rates, but there is little documented in the literature as to what effect this may have on patient-reported function. The aim of this systematic review was to look at non-operative management following displaced distal clavicle fractures to determine union rates, complications and patient reported outcome measures.

Do preoperative scapular fractures affect long-term outcomes after reverse shoulder arthroplasty?
Postoperative scapular stress fractures (SSF) are a formidable problem after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Less is known about patients who have these fractures preoperatively. The primary aim of this study was to examine postoperative satisfaction in patients undergoing primary RSA who have preoperative SSF and compared to a matched cohort without preoperative fracture. The secondary aim was to examine the differences in patient reported outcomes between and within study cohorts. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Cemented vs. Press-Fit Humeral Stems: A Matched Cohort Analysis at a Mean Follow-Up of 10 years
While cementation of humeral stems has long been considered the gold standard for anatomic shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA), cementless, or press-fit, fixation offers a relatively cheaper and less demanding alternative, particularly in the setting of a revision procedure. However, this approach has been accompanied by concerns of implant loosening and high rates of radiolucency. In the present study we performed a propensity matched comparison of clinical and patient-reported outcomes between cemented and cementless fixation techniques for aTSA.

Varus-valgus Alignment of Humeral Short Stem in Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Does It Really Matter?
The utilization of short humeral stems in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has gained attention in recent times. However, concerns regarding the risk of misalignment during implant insertion are associated with their use. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Robert H. Cofield, MD, Award for Best Oral Presentation 2023: up to 8 mm of glenoid-sided lateralization does not increase the risk of acromial or scapular spine stress fracture following reverse shoulder arthroplasty with a 135 ° inlay humeral component
Glenoid-sided lateralization in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) decreases bony impingement and improves rotational range of motion, but has been theorized to increase the risk of acromial or scapular spine fractures (ASFs). The purpose of this study was to assess if glenoid-sided lateralization even up to 8 mm increases the risk for stress fracture following RSA with a 135 ° inlay humeral component.

Are glenoid retroversion, humeral subluxation and Walch classification associated with a muscle imbalance.
The objective of this study was to compare the ratio of anterior to posterior rotator cuff muscle and deltoid volumes as a function of humeral subluxation and glenoid morphology when analyzed as continuous variable in arthritic shoulders. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)
