Utility of PROMIS Measures in Predicting Shoulder Arthroplasty in Patients with Shoulder Osteoarthritis
The decision to treat shoulder osteoarthritis definitively with shoulder arthroplasty (SA) is multifactorial, considering objective findings, subjective information, and patient goals. The first goal of this study was to determine if Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures correlated with patients with shoulder osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent SA within 1 year. The second goal of this study was to determine if score cut-offs in PROMIS domains could further discriminate which shoulder OA patients underwent SA within 1 year.

Considerable Variation in Current Coronoid Height and Fracture Measurement Techniques: A Systematic Review
Coronoid fractures usually occur in the presence of a significant osseo-ligamentous injury to the elbow. Fracture size and location correlate with degree of instability and many authors have attempted to analyze the effect of fracture variation on decision making and outcome. There remains no standardized technique for measuring coronoid height or fracture size. The aim of this study was to appraise the literature regarding techniques for coronoid height measurement in order to understand variation. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Judicious use of corticosteroid injections prior to shoulder arthroplasty does not compromise outcomes at a minimum of 2-year following surgery
The use of total shoulder arthroplasty is continuing to rise with its expanding indications. For patients with chronic conditions, such as glenohumeral arthritis and rotator cuff arthropathy, nonoperative treatment is typically done prior to arthroplasty and often includes corticosteroid injections. Recent studies in the shoulder arthroplasty literature as well as applied from the hip and knee literature have focused on the risk of periprosthetic infection. Literature is lacking as to whether the judicious use of corticosteroids in the year prior to arthroplasty influences patient reported outcomes. (Source: Journal of Sho...

Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantages Influence Outcomes Following Rotator Cuff Repair in the Non-Medicaid Population “Socioeconomic Impact on RC Outcomes”
Prior investigations have utilized various surrogate markers of socioeconomic status to assess how healthcare disparities impact outcomes after rotator cuff repair (RCR). When taken as individual markers, these factors have inconsistent associations. Medicaid insurance status is an accessible marker that has recently been correlated with less optimal outcomes after RCR. Socioeconomic disparities exist within the non-Medicaid population as well and are arguably more difficult to characterize. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) uses seventeen socioeconomic variables to establish a spectrum of neighborhood healthcare disparity....

Humeral Stem Loosening is Not Always Prosthetic Joint Infection
Aseptic humeral stem loosening is an uncommon complication of shoulder arthroplasty, and its presence has been considered a highly specific predictor of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Literature on aseptic humeral stem loosening is sparse. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the rate of aseptic humeral loosening in revision shoulder arthroplasty. Secondarily, we sought to identify predictors of septic and aseptic humeral loosening. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Effects of humeral head stabilization intervention during aggressive manual passive stretching exercises in patients with painful stiff shoulder: A prospective, comparative study
No reports have been published verifying the effects of manual interventions such as humeral head stabilization on improving function and reducing pain when applying aggressive manual passive stretching in patients with painful stiff shoulders. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes, such as range of motion (ROM), pain, and disability scores, in patients with painful stiff shoulders with and without humeral head stabilization intervention while applying aggressive manual passive stretching.

Utility of Superior Augments in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (Exactech, Equinoxe GPS) without Significant Glenoid Deformity
Superior augment use may help avoid superior tilt while minimizing removal of inferior glenoid bone. Therefore, our goal is to compare superior augments versus no augment baseplates in RSA for patients with rotator cuff dysfunction and no significant superior glenoid erosion.

Ultrasound examination of acute soft tissue lesions in the elbow has good intra rater reliability and acceptable agreement with MRI
Ultrasound (US) has been suggested a valuable complement to clinical and radiological examinations in elbow trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been the method of choice, despite fair to moderate interrater reliability (IRR). US has potential advantages but is assessor dependent and IRR scarcely examined. The primary aim of the present study was to investigate IRR for US and secondarily inter-observer agreement (IOA) between US and MRI in the acute phase after elbow trauma. Acute phase was defined as 2 weeks and, if applicable, the following weekend. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Influence of humeral position of the Affinis short ® stemless shoulder arthroplasty system on long-term survival and clinical outcome

Higher Return to Sport and Lower Revision Rates when Performing Arthroscopic Bankart Repair with Remplissage for Anterior Shoulder Instability with a Hill-Sachs Lesion: A Meta-Analysis
Recurrent anterior shoulder instability remains the most common complication from a prior shoulder dislocation, especially among young and active individuals who engage in athletic activities. This instability can lead to repeated subluxation or dislocations of the humeral head from the glenoid fossa. The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative recurrence rates, instability-related revision and return to sport (RTS) rates between isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) and ABR with remplissage (ABR+R) for anterior shoulder instability with subcritical glenoid bone loss (GBL) and a Hill-Sachs lesion (HSL).

Primary and revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty using a patient-matched glenoid implant for severe glenoid bone deficiency
Severe glenoid bone loss in the setting of both primary and revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) continues to remain a significant challenge. The purpose of this study was to report on radiographic and clinical outcomes of primary and revision rTSA using a patient-matched, 3-dimensionally printed metal glenoid implant to address severe glenoid bone deficiency. This is a follow-up study to previously reported preliminary results. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)
