Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore if combining MRI findings with clinical tests can improve the detection of long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) problems.
- It involved analyzing 140 patients who had shoulder surgeries, focusing on 29 different test combinations to find the best diagnostic accuracy, with surgical findings used as a reference.
- The 'Speed or Signal' combination was found to have the highest sensitivity (88%) for detecting LHBT issues, but it had low specificity (20%), meaning many healthy tendons could be incorrectly identified as problematic.
Introduction: The role of the subscapularis following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) remains controversial as repair could restore adequate internal rotation and shoulder stability, but might compromise external rotation. The purpose of this multi-centre study, on a large cohort of RSAs performed using the deltopectoral approach, was to determine the effect of subscapularis preoperative status and intraoperative repair on range of motion, clinical scores and rates of complications at a minimum follow-up of 2 years.
Hypothesis: Repair of a functional subscapularis grants better internal rotation and stability without compromising external rotation.
Purpose: To compare outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for primary osteoarthritis (OA) with and without rotator cuff (RC) tears to those with secondary OA due to RC tears.
Methods: We reviewed records of all patients who received RSA for primary OA or secondary OA. All patients had preoperative radiographs, computed tomographic arthrography (CTA), and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of their shoulders to assess their etiology, glenoid morphology, and fatty infiltration.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the medium-term effectiveness of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in patients with shoulder problems, particularly looking at different causes of the conditions.
- Conducted over five years, it involved 80 implants in 77 patients, noting significant differences in outcomes based on the underlying cause of shoulder issues.
- The findings revealed a high survival rate of the prosthesis (91%) after 10 years, especially for cases with massive rotator cuff tears, though functional scores indicated that almost half of the patients had poor outcomes at the same interval.
