Assessment of Inter- and Intrasurgeon Variability in Preoperative Planning of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Multicenter Evaluation.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)
December 2024
To evaluate the intra and intersurgeon variability regarding the positioning and selection of implants in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. A cross-sectional study assessed computed tomography images of the shoulder joint of patients diagnosed with degenerative joint diseases. The study team included seven specialists in shoulder surgery, representing six different institutions.

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with work-related problems who underwent arthroscopic repair of full-thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs) versus those without work-related or social security claims.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study comparing the outcomes of American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Rating (UCLA) scores 24 months after arthroscopic repair of full-thickness RCTs of patients with and without work-related problems was performed.
Background: The original Latarjet-Patte procedure is a reliable technique to treat traumatic anterior shoulder instability. However, attempts to reduce possible complications have led to the emergence of modified techniques. More prominent among them are the arthroscopic approach and the use of cortical buttons for coracoid fixation.

- - The study aimed to examine how often upper extremity injuries occur among indoor bouldering climbers and identify risk factors, particularly focusing on dynamic movements used in climbing.
- - Researchers surveyed 35 climbers, primarily young males, using an online questionnaire and in-person evaluations to analyze injury patterns and their associations with climbing techniques.
- - Findings indicated a notable link between dynamic climbing styles and shoulder injuries, emphasizing the importance of injury prevention in bouldering, and suggesting different underlying causes compared to other overhead sports.
Introduction: Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are a significant cause of shoulder pain. Rotator cuff repair is common, but healing failure is frequent and the reasons for the retear are still unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to determine if specific preoperative factors related to patients and tears affect the structural outcome after rotator cuff repair.
