Overhead athletes have comparable intraoperative injury patterns and clinical outcomes to non-overhead athletes following surgical stabilization for first-time anterior shoulder instability at average 6-year follow-up
Anterior shoulder instability is a common problem affecting young, athletic populations that results in potential career-altering functional limitations. However, little is known regarding the differences in clinical outcomes after operative management of overhead vs. non-overhead athletes presenting with first-time anterior shoulder instability. We hypothesized that overhead athletes would have milder clinical presentations, similar surgical characteristics, and diminished postoperative outcomes when compared with non-overhead athletes after surgical stabilization following first-time anterior shoulder instability episode...

Influence of Backside Seating Parameters and Augmented Baseplate Components in Virtual Planning for Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
The primary goal of this investigation was to examine the influence of a backside seating percentage variable on volume of reamed bone and contact area in virtual planning for glenoid baseplate placement for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The secondary goal was to assess how the option of augmented glenoid baseplate components affected reamed volume and cortical contact area of virtually positioned baseplates.

Patients 75  years or older with primary glenohumeral arthritis and an intact rotator cuff show similar clinical improvement after reverse or anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty
The optimal management of primary glenohumeral arthritis (GHOA) in the elderly is an ongoing topic of debate. The purpose of this study was to compare functional outcomes and complications in patients aged 75  years or older treated with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) or reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for primary GHOA with an intact rotator cuff.

Graft Choice and Techniques used in Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction over the Last 20 Years: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Elbow medial ulnar collateral ligament (mUCL) injuries have become increasingly common, leading to a higher number of mUCL reconstructions (UCLR). Various techniques and graft choices have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of each available graft choice, the surgical techniques most utilized, and the reported complications associated with each surgical method.

Does Hydrogen Peroxide Application to the Dermis Following Surgical Incision Affect Cutibacterium acnes cultures in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in Male Patients? A Randomized Controlled Trial
Periprosthetic joint infections occur in 1-4% of primary total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs). Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) is the most commonly-implicated organism and has been shown to persist in the dermis despite use of preoperative antibiotics and standard skin preparations. Studies have shown decreased rates of positive C. acnes cultures with use of preoperative benzoyl peroxide (BPO) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), but positive deep cultures remain common. We sought to determine if an additional application of H2O2 directly to the dermis following skin incision would further decrease deep culture positivity rates. (S...

The Influence of a Single 30-Pitch Session on Elbow Laxity in Adolescent and Collegiate Baseball Pitchers
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries are a source of significant injury among baseball players, and are increasingly evaluated under ultrasound. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a single session of pitching upon UCL thickness and laxity via a cross sectional, controlled ultrasonographic study. We hypothesize that a single session of pitching will cause the ulnar collateral ligament to thicken and become more lax. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Association between radiographic soft-tissue thickness and increased length of stay, operative time, and infection rate after reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a widely performed surgical procedure to address various shoulder pathologies. Several studies have suggested that radiographic soft-tissue thickness may play a role in predicting complications after orthopedic surgery, but there have been limited studies determining the use of radiographic soft-tissue thickness in RSA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether radiographic soft-tissue thickness could predict clinical outcomes after RSA and compare the predictive capabilities against body mass index (BMI).

Data-driven body mass index threshold associated with increased risk of 2-year periprosthetic joint infection following total shoulder arthroplasty
Body mass index (BMI) is a modifiable risk factor for medical and infectious complications following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Previous studies investigating BMI were limited to the conventional classification system, which may be outdated for modern day patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify BMI thresholds that are associated with varying risk of 90-day medical complications and 2-year prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following TSA.

Trans-ulnar Fracture Dislocations of the Elbow: A Systematic Review and Clarification of Classification Systems
Complex elbow dislocations in which the dorsal cortex of the ulna is fractured can be difficult to classify and therefore treat. These have variably been described as either Monteggia variant injuries or trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations. Additionally, O ’Driscoll et al classified coronoid fractures that exit the dorsal cortex of the ulna as “basal coronoid, subtype 2” fractures. The Mayo classification of trans-ulnar fracture-dislocations categorizes these injuries in three types according to what the coronoid remains attached to: Trans-olecr anon fracture-dislocations, Monteggia variant fracture-dislocations, a...
