Background: Standard stemmed humeral implants have traditionally been utilized for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with a recent trend to implant smaller stems including short and stemless humeral designs. However, the rate of stress shielding after stemless TSA has not been primarily studied. Therefore, the objective of this study is to report the short-term survivorship and radiographic analysis of a stemless humeral implant.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study comparing preoperative and postoperative data of patients undergoing arthroscopic tuberoplasty for symptomatic irreparable RCT. Exclusion criteria included open tuberoplasty, concomitant partial RCT repair, glenohumeral arthritis, concomitant ipsilateral extremity fractures, <12 months follow-up, or pseudoparalysis.
Background: Patient's willingness and barriers for discharge after shoulder arthroplasty (SA) has not been studied. The aim of this study was to prospectively analyze patient's willingness for discharge and barriers to discharge beyond postoperative day #1 (POD#1) after SA.
Methods: In this prospective study, patients undergoing primary or revision SA (anatomic, reverse, or hemiarthroplasty) at our institution were enrolled to determine their willingness and concerns for discharge after SA.
Background: History of prior rotator cuff repair (RCR) may adversely affect the outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), but there is no information regarding the influence of prior superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) surgery on the outcomes of RTSA. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of RTSA following failed arthroscopic SCR.
Methods: All patients who underwent RTSA for failed SCR (SCR cohort) at our institution were identified from our institutional database.
Background: Equipment used to guide surgical incisions has been shown to be a source of bacterial contamination during surgery.
Purpose/hypothesis: To compare the culture-positive rates of sterile marking pens used before and after skin preparation for shoulder surgery. It was hypothesized that there will be no difference in culture-positive rates from marking pens used after skin preparation compared with before skin preparation.
