Article Synopsis
- The study compares the cost-effectiveness of arthroscopic Latarjet surgery versus traditional open Latarjet surgery for shoulder stabilization over a ten-year period.
- It found that the arthroscopic method costs about $2,796.87 more than the open procedure, with similar outcomes in terms of utility scores (quality adjusted life years).
- The conclusion suggests that due to higher costs and similar effectiveness, the arthroscopic approach does not provide added value unless costs are reduced significantly or outcomes improve.
Background: Comorbidity indices can help identify patients at risk for postoperative complications. Purpose of this study was to compare different comorbidity indices to predict discharge destination and complications after shoulder arthroplasty.
Methods: Retrospective review of institutional shoulder arthroplasty database of primary anatomic (TSA) and reverse (RSA) shoulder arthroplasties.
Background: A paucity of data regarding the implications of postoperative hematoma formation on outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty exists. Previous studies on major joint arthroplasty have associated postoperative hematoma formation with high rates of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and reoperation.
Methods: A total of 6,421 shoulder arthroplasty cases were retrospectively reviewed from an institutional database (5,941 primary cases, 480 revision) between December 2008 and July 2017.
Background And Aims: Arthrofibrosis is a severe scarring condition characterized by joint stiffness and pain. Fundamental to developing arthrofibrotic scars is the accelerated production of procollagen I, a precursor of collagen I molecules that form fibrotic deposits in affected joints. The procollagen I production mechanism comprises numerous elements, including enzymes, protein chaperones, and growth factors.

The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative and postoperative factors that impact range of motion (ROM) and function after augmented TSA in patients with type B2 or B3 glenoid morphology.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of all patients who underwent TSA with a step-type augmentation performed by a single surgeon between 2009 and 2018.
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries occur with a traumatic load to the lateral aspect of the shoulder and account for 9% of all shoulder girdle injuries. Rockwood classified AC joint injuries as type I though type VI, based on severity of injury, radiographic findings, and reducibility of the AC joint. Type I and II injuries are typically managed nonoperatively, whereas type IV, V, and VI are managed operatively to address the significant soft tissue disruption, persistent AC joint instability, and apical shoulder deformation.

Surgical treatment of glenoids with acquired retroversion and posterior humeral subluxation with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) is controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine mid- to long-term outcomes and reoperation rates of augmented and nonaugmented aTSA for treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis with Walch B3 glenoid deformity.

The outcomes of these cases were then compared with a matched cohort of distal biceps ruptures that were able to be repaired primarily.
Methods: Retrospective review of an institutional elbow surgery database was conducted.
Background: The optimal surgical indications for humeral shaft fractures in the working population remain uncertain. This study investigates the impact of surgical fixation on return to duty, union, and complications in workers' compensation patients with humeral shaft fractures.
Methods: All workers' compensation patients with humeral shaft fractures managed at a single institution between 2007 and 2017 were identified.
Background: The Latarjet procedure is an effective procedure for the treatment of anterior glenohumeral joint instability; however, the complications are concerning. The purpose of this study was to review a single institution's experience with the Latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability specifically focusing on early complications.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of all Latarjet procedures performed at a single institution from August 2008 to July 2018.
Background: Operating room (OR) time is a major cost to the health care system. Therefore, increasing OR efficiency to save time may be a cost-saving tool. This study analyzed OR efficiency in shoulder arthroplasty at an orthopedic specialty hospital (OSH) and a tertiary referral center (TRC).

- The study examined the progression of ankle range of motion and patient-reported outcomes in 107 patients who received total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) over two years.
- Results showed significant improvements in sagittal plane range of motion from 20.7° preoperatively to 33.3° at 2 years, along with reduced pain and enhanced daily living and sports activity scores.
- Correlations were found between increased range of motion and lower pain levels as well as higher ability to perform daily activities, indicating overall positive outcomes from TAA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare stemmed and stemless antibiotic spacers used in treating shoulder periprosthetic joint infections, focusing on various clinical outcomes during a specific time frame (2011-2013).
- A total of 37 spacers were analyzed, with the stemless group being significantly older, while other demographic factors like gender and body mass index were similar between the two groups.
- Results indicated that both spacer types had comparable operative times, complication rates, and reimplantation success, with minor differences in range of motion achieved post-reimplantation.
Background: A significant portion of operating room time in shoulder arthroplasty is devoted to nonsurgical tasks. To maximize efficiency and to increase access to care, it is important to accurately quantify surgical and nonsurgical time for shoulder arthroplasty. This study aimed to evaluate surgical vs.
