View article: Equivalent Early Outcomes After Rotator Cuff Repair Can Be Achieved in Patients with Lower Shoulder-Specific Health Literacy
Equivalent Early Outcomes After Rotator Cuff Repair Can Be Achieved in Patients with Lower Shoulder-Specific Health Literacy Open
Background Health literacy can be an important predictor of a patient’s health status. We aimed to validate a new shoulder-specific health-literacy test, entitled CASE (Campbell’s Assessment of Shoulder Education), and use it to investigat…

Complication rates after shoulder arthroplasty in patients aged 45 years and younger Open
Younger patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty have an acceptable complication profile, but a relatively high risk of reoperation. Glenoid component loosening occurred only in the TSA, with a 3% revision rate. All arthroplasty types sho…

Phantom limb experience after brachial plexus anaesthesia Open
There are more than two million amputees in the USA, and almost all will experience phantom limb sensations (PLS), describing the missing limb as still present. They may also experience intense pain, known as phantom limb pain (PLP), a con…

Teres minor deficiency does not predict clinically inferior external rotation after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: a 2-year matched cohort study Open
Current teaching maintains that reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is unlikely to restore external rotation (ER) without a functional posterior rotator cuff, specifically the teres minor (TM). This study compared restoration of ER …

Internal Rotation Measurements: Correlation between Vertebral Body Level and Goniometer Measurements on Functional Outcome Scores. Open
A comparison of the two primary IR measurement methods for shoulders was shown to have a correlation. This would allow for direct comparison of different literature using only one measurement method. While the correlation is not yet strong…

Poster 173: Comparison of Sensitivity of Diagnosis of Subscapularis Tear on 1.5 Tesla versus 3.0 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging Open
Objectives: Diagnosis of subscapularis tears via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been reported to have variable accuracy, with prior studies indicating sensitivity of MRI ranging from 30.0-83.0%. In the current literature, studies uti…

Predictors of dislocations after reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a study by the ASES complications of RSA multicenter research group Open
The strongest patient-related factors associated with dislocation were a history of postoperative subluxations and having a primary diagnosis of fracture nonunion. Notably, RSAs for osteoarthritis showed lower rates of dislocations than RS…

Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging are Similarly Reliable in the Assessment of Glenohumeral Arthritis and Glenoid Version. Open
CT and MRI appear similarly reliable for the classification of glenohumeral wear patterns. For the measurement of glenoid version, MRI was slightly more reliable than CT within observers. Differences in training level did not produce subst…
View article: Effect of deltoid volume on range of motion and patient-reported outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in rotator cuff-intact and rotator cuff-deficient conditions
Effect of deltoid volume on range of motion and patient-reported outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in rotator cuff-intact and rotator cuff-deficient conditions Open
Background Deltoid muscle function is paramount to the success of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of deltoid volume on shoulder range of motion and patient-reported outcomes follow…
View article: Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for B2 Glenoid Deformity
Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for B2 Glenoid Deformity Open
In shoulder osteoarthritis, the B2 glenoid presents challenges in treatment because of the excessive retroversion and posterior deficiency of the glenoid. Correction of retroversion and maintenance of a stable joint line with well-fixed im…
View article: Subscapularis Peel in Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Subscapularis Peel in Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Open
Background Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is a viable treatment option for patients with glenohumeral arthritis and an intact rotator cuff with successful outcomes. However, one complication is rupture of the subscapularis tendon pos…

Hyaluronic Acid Injections of the Knee: Predictors of Successful Treatment Open
Objectives: Knee viscosupplementation yields variable results for osteoarthritis. Establishing patient and treatment factors that predict a favorable response to intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment will better guide patient and …
