View article: Forearm Rotation at the Time of Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Graft Tensioning Does Not Affect Postoperative Medial Elbow Joint Gapping
Forearm Rotation at the Time of Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Graft Tensioning Does Not Affect Postoperative Medial Elbow Joint Gapping Open
Background: The role of forearm rotation at the time of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction (UCLR) graft tensioning is poorly understood. Purpose: To compare postoperative medial elbow joint gapping in cadaveric elbows after UCL…

Humeral axial rotation measurement through a proximal ulna marker cluster Open
Accurate measurement of internal/external rotation joint angle is critical in assessing the shoulder function, especially in the clinical practice as it plays a key role in evaluating activities of daily living and monitoring the rehabilit…

The Effect of Concavity Restoration on Glenohumeral Stability in a Glenoid Bone Loss Model: Comparing the Distal Tibial Allograft Reconstruction and the Latarjet Procedure Open
Objectives: Glenoid bone loss occurs in more than 80% of patients with recurrent glenohumeral instability. The Latarjet procedure has become the gold standard for restoration of bone loss despite a high (15-30%) complication rate. 1–3 Dist…

Paper 72: How Much Glenoid Bone Loss Needs to be Restored with a Latarjet? Open
Objectives: Significant anterior glenoid bone loss in the setting of recurrent instability may warrant a coracoid transfer (Latarjet). However, the amount of glenoid width that must be restored with a Latarjet in order to reestablish gleno…

Paper 05: The Role of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon in Posterior Shoulder Stabilization during Forward Flexion Open
Objectives: The incidence of long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) procedures is increasing, yet the role of the LHBT in glenohumeral stability is not fully understood. People lift most objects in the sagittal plane with forward flexion, w…

Poster 188: The Effect of Forearm Supination Versus Pronation at the Time of UCL Reconstruction Graft Tensioning on Post-Surgical Medial Elbow Joint Gapping in a Biomechanical Cadaveric Model Open
Objectives: The anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is the primary static valgus restraint of the elbow joint. In general, the effect of forearm supination and pronation on native and reconstructed UCL strain is poorly c…

Glenoid "Pear Restoration" with the Traditional Latarjet versus Congruent Arc Modification: CT Assessment of Coracoid Morphology for Preoperative Planning Open
Objectives: The concept of the “inverted pear” glenoid was introduced by Lo and Burkhart as an indicator of significant attritional glenoid bone loss that predisposes patients to recurrent instability and higher failure of arthroscopic Ban…

The biomechanics of subscapularis repair in reverse shoulder arthroplasty: The effect of lateralization and insertion site Open
Functional outcomes of subscapularis (SSc) repair following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) remains controversial. SSc repair in combination with glenosphere lateralization was reported to yield worse clinical outcomes compared with th…

Version Correction via Eccentric Reaming Compromises Remaining Bone Quality in B2 Glenoids: A Computational Study Open
This computational study of eccentric reaming of the glenoid before TSA quantitatively showed glenoid bone quality is sensitive to version correction via simulated eccentric reaming. The bone density results of our study may benefit surgeo…

Neutral glenoid alignment in reverse shoulder arthroplasty does not guarantee decreased risk of impingement Open
Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) has gained popularity over the recent years, but impingement concerns are still present. Surgeons aim to correct pre‐operative glenoid deformities to reduce impingement but it can be challenging without …

Medial Posterior Capsular Plication Reduces Anterior Shoulder Instability Similar to Remplissage without Restricting Motion in the Setting of an Engaging Hill Sachs Defect Open
Objectives: In the present study, the efficacy of a posterior medial capsular plication in addition to Bankart repair was examined as an arthroscopic management strategy for an engaging Hill-Sachs defect. Methods: 8 fresh-frozen human cada…

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: research models Open
Purpose:the past decade has seen a considerable increase in the use of research models to study reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). Nevertheless, none of these models has been shown to completely reflect real in vivo conditions. Me…
