Internal Rotation Measurements: Correlation between Vertebral Body Level and Goniometer Measurements on Functional Outcome Scores.

Objectives: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has shown success in the treatment of end-stage glenohumeral pathology. However, one major shortcoming has been the lack of internal rotation (IR), which can have significant functional consequences. Much research has been conducted to maximize IR after rTSA, but the literature is unclear which measurement of IR represents the "gold standard" between vertebral level and goniometer-based measurements.

The AAHKS Clinical Research Award: Extended Postoperative Oral Tranexamic Acid in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Background: Perioperative tranexamic acid (TXA) use with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is widely accepted today. Recently, a few international groups have published on the safety and outcomes of extending TXA use in the postoperative period. Through a double-blinded, randomized control trial (RCT), we aimed to investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of extended postoperative oral TXA use in TKA performed in an American, free-standing ambulatory surgery center (ASC).
