Background: The treatment of patients who sustain a proximal humerus fracture (PHF) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to find consensus among experts using a validated iterative process in the treatment of patients after a PHF.
Methods: The Neer Circle is an organization of shoulder experts recognized for their service to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons.
Background: The superior labrum and biceps complex is commonly implicated in shoulder pain and there remains discordance regarding the surgical management of superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears. The purpose of this study was to establish an expert consensus regarding the management of superior labrum and biceps complex pathology.

Background: Large osteochondral lesions of the humeral head can result from locked posterior dislocations, avascular necrosis, and osteochondritis dissecans. Fresh osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is a treatment option for young patients with focal osteochondral defects of the humeral head. The purpose of this case series was to assess graft survivorship, subjective patient-reported outcomes, and satisfaction among 7 patients who underwent OCA transplantation of the humeral head.

Background: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) remains a rare diagnosis but is being recognized as a cause of upper extremity dysfunction in professional baseball players.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to determine performance and return-to-play (RTP) outcomes in professional baseball players after surgical treatment of TOS. The hypothesis was that there would be a high RTP rate in professional baseball players after TOS surgery with no statistical differences in performance between pitchers who had TOS surgery and matched controls.
