Predicting adjacent infections in pediatric septic arthritis: Do predictive criteria extrapolate across geographic regions?: Predicting Periarticular Infection in the Southeast.

Purpose: This study aims to assess previously determined predictive criteria for presence of adjacent infection in septic arthritis within a Southeastern United States (US) pediatric population.

Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the Rosenfeld criteria were: 91.7%, 22.

Polyethylene Liner Dissociation after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Dislocation: a Case Series.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a common procedure. While dislocation is a common complication, there are few reports documenting dislocation with associated polyethylene liner dissociation from the humeral tray. There have been 4 instances of this occurrence over 9 years at our institution, and there are specific radiographic clues for diagnosis.

Routine postoperative laboratory tests are unnecessary after primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: Obtaining postoperative laboratory studies after primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a common practice. However, justification of this practice remains unclear. This study assesses the utility of routine postoperative laboratory studies in RSA.

Use of the Contralateral Glenoid for Calculation of Glenoid Bone Loss: A Cadaveric Anthropometric Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if there are significant side-to-side anthropometric differences between paired glenoids.

Methods: Forty-six matched-pair cadaver glenoids were harvested, and their glenoid heights (GHs) and glenoid widths (GWs) were measured with digital calipers. The glenoid surface area was calculated using the standard assumption that the inferior two-thirds of the glenoid is a perfect circle.
