Funding Bias in Shoulder Arthroplasty Research
Prior research has shown that industry funding can impact the outcomes reported in medical literature. Limited data exists on the degree of bias that industry funding may have on shoulder arthroplasty literature outside of the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. The purpose of this study is to characterize the type and frequency of funding for recently published shoulder arthroplasty studies and the impact of industry funding on reported outcomes. We hypothesized that studies with industry funding are more likely to report positive outcomes than those without. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Subacromial osteolysis following hook plate fixation for acromioclavicular dislocation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Clavicular hook plates are extensively used in the treatment of acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation. Subacromial osteolysis is a typical complication following hook plate fixation. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the incidence of subacromial osteolysis and analyzed the associated characteristics of subacromial osteolysis to guide surgeons.

Lower Trapezius and Latissimus Dorsi Transfer relieve Teres Minor Activity into the Physiological Range in Collin D Irreparable Posterosuperior Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: A Biomechanical Analysis
Tendon transfers are established techniques to regain external rotation mobility in patients suffering from an irreparable, posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tear (MRCT). Posterosuperior MRCT with intact teres minor (Type D MRCT) can lead to excessive teres minor loading to maintain external rotation. We hypothesize that tendon transfers are effective in relieving teres minor loading in Type D MRCTs. Our aim was to biomechanically assess muscle synergism with latissimus dorsi (LD-Transfer) and lower trapezius (LT-Transfer) tendon transfer during external rotation at different abduction heights.

Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty for Patients with Glenoid Medialization
Glenoid bone loss in shoulder arthroplasty is a difficult problem that is prone to complications due to challenges with achieving glenoid component fixation and stability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of primary shoulder hemiarthroplasty for patients with severe glenoid medialization precluding placement of a glenoid component.

Involvement of Glycation and Oxidative Stress in Frozen Shoulder
Glycation stress is involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic frozen shoulder. The expression of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and their receptors (RAGE) induces oxidative stress. However, the relationship between frozen shoulder and oxidative stress remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine whether oxidative stress, particularly the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxiredoxin (PRDX), are involved in frozen shoulder.

Anatomy regarding the posterior part of coracohumeral ligament comprehensively including loose connective tissues
This study aimed to anatomically investigate the posterior extension of the coracohumeral ligament, including loose connective tissues. The current study used nine embalmed shoulders harvested from seven embalmed cadavers under the IRB agreement. We macroscopically observed four shoulders to analyze the connective tissues from the posterior part of the coracoid process to the superficial and deep layers of the supraspinatus tendon.
