Preoperative factors associated with 180-, 270- and 360-degree labral tears
Large, circumferential glenoid labral tears are an uncommon injury affecting young, athletic patients. There is limited data describing the clinical presentation of patients with larger tears, especially 270- and 360-degree labral tears. Additionally, exam and imaging findings have poor reliability in diagnosing these tears. The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical presentation among patients presenting with small (less than 180 degrees), medium (180-270 degrees), and large (270-360 degrees) labral tears.

Total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with Factor V Leiden
Anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are effective treatment options for end-stage glenohumeral osteoarthritis. However, consideration for pre-existing conditions must be taken into account. Factor V Leiden (FVL), the most common inherited thrombophilia, is one such condition that predisposes to a prothrombotic state and may affect perioperative and longer-term outcomes following TSA.

Statistical shape models that predict native glenoid width based on glenoid height are inaccurate in their current form: A cross-sectional study
The extent of measurement errors of statistical shape models that predict native glenoid width based on glenoid height to subsequently determine the amount of anterior glenoid bone loss is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to (1) create a statistical shape model based on glenoid height and width measured on 3D-CT and determine the accuracy through measurement errors and (2) determine measurement errors of existing 3D-CT statistical shape models.

Children and adolescents with all forms of shoulder instability demonstrate differences in their movement and muscle activity patterns when compared to age- and sex-matched controls
Shoulder instability is a complex impairment and identifying biomarkers which differentiate subgroups is challenging. There is limited fundamental movement and muscle activity data for identifying different mechanisms for shoulder instability in children and adolescents which may inform subgrouping and treatment allocation.

Stratification of the Minimal Clinically Important Difference, Substantial Clinical Benefit, and Patient Acceptable Symptomatic State after Total Shoulder Arthroplasty by Implant Type, Preoperative Diagnosis, and Sex
Clinical significance, as opposed to statistical significance, has increasingly been utilized to evaluate outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The purpose of this study was to identify thresholds of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for TSA outcome metrics and determine if these thresholds are influenced by prosthesis type (anatomic or reverse TSA), sex, or preoperative diagnosis.

How low can we go? A randomized controlled trial of low-quantity initial opioid prescriptions for shoulder surgery
In this study, we investigated how the initial opioid prescription after shoulder surgery affects maximum possible opioid consumption. We hypothesized that fewer pills in the initial opioid prescription would lead to less opioid consumption, a lower refill request rate, and fewer post-surgery office contacts for pain.

Quantitative MRI versus perioperative arthroscopy to measure stage 1 ruptures of the supraspinatus tendon for surgical planning
Accurate preoperative assessment of supraspinatus tendon tear (STT) size is important for surgical planning. Our aims were to evaluate the correlation between stage 1 STT size measured preoperatively by quantitative (q)MRI and size measured perioperatively by arthroscopy. The concordance between preoperative tear size and the surgical plan was also assessed. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Artificial Intelligence in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery: Overview of Current and Future Applications
Artificial intelligence (AI) is amongst the most rapidly growing technologies in orthopedic surgery. With the exponential growth in healthcare data, computing power, and complex predictive algorithms, this technology is poised to aid providers in data processing and clinical decision support throughout the continuum of orthopedic care. Understanding the utility and limitations of this technology is vital to practicing orthopedic surgeons, as these applications will become more common place in everyday practice.
