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.

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Acute Proximal Humeral Fracture Has Comparable 10-Year Outcomes to Elective Indications: Results From the New Zealand Joint Registry
Recently, the indication of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has expanded beyond rotator cuff arthropathy to include treatment of complex acute proximal humeral fracture (PHF). Limited previous studies have compared the long-term clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing RTSA for PHF versus elective indications for degenerative conditions. The purpose of this study was to compare implant survivorship, reasons for revision and functional outcomes in patients undergoing RTSA for acute PHF with those undergoing elective RTSA in a population-based cohort study.

Three-dimensional analysis of biplanar glenoid deformities: What are they and can they be virtually reconstructed with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty implants?
Descriptions of glenoid deformities in glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) have focused on the axial plane. Less is known regarding arthritic glenoids with higher amounts of superior inclination and little evidence exists to guide management of inclination or combined version-inclination deformity when performing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). We hypothesized that biplanar deformities (BD) would be present in a higher proportion of GHOA patients than previously appreciated, and these deformities would be difficult to adequately reconstruct with contemporary aTSA implants.

Stemless reverse arthroplasty: Does the stemless compare to a conventional stemmed implant? Clinical and radiographic evaluation 2 years minimum follow up
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a well recognized treatment for many shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff arthropathy, primary glenohumeral joint arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and can be utilized in both trauma and revision settings. Over the past 10 years its popularity in New Zealand has been increasing, with a 6-7% annual growth during this period. The proposed advantages of a stemless (sRSA) design are to preserve humeral bone stock, limit periprosthetic fractures and can be indicated in patients with abnormal diaphyseal humeral anatomy.

The role of body mass index on survivorship and clinical outcomes in total shoulder arthroplasty
Increased body mass index (BMI) is a potential risk factor for poorer outcomes and complications. However, the influence of BMI on the long-term outcomes of anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA and rTSA) remains to be fully elucidated.

High failure rate of 2-stage revision for the infected total elbow arthroplasty: a single institution ’s experience
Despite 2-stage revision being a common treatment for elbow prosthetic joint infection (PJI), failure rates are high. The purpose of this study was to report on a single institution ’s experience with 2-stage revisions for elbow PJI and determine risk factors for failed eradication of infection. The secondary purpose was to determine risk factors for needing allograft bone at the second stage of revision in the setting of compromised bone stock.

All-endoscopic approach for distal biceps tendon pathology: Analysis of long-term outcomes in partial and complete ruptures
Distal biceps tendon (DBT) pathology is a spectrum that ranges from tendinopathy to complete retracted ruptures, and surgical treatment is usually performed via open approaches. The purpose of this study was to analyze safety and long-term outcomes of all-endoscopic surgery for entire spectrum of primary DBT pathology. The hypothesis was that at an all-endoscopic technique would result in satisfactory clinical outcomes and a low complication rate. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)
