Therapeutic Arthroscopy for Noninfectious Stiffness and Anterior Shoulder Pain After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Leads to Clinical Improvement in Most Patients with a Low Complication Rate.

Hypothesis And Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) exhibits favorable outcomes in managing rotator cuff arthropathy, primary glenohumeral arthritis, and complex proximal humeral fractures. Despite its success and reliability, certain patients experience persistent pain and stiffness. The clinical utility of therapeutic arthroscopy in RSA patients remains an area for investigation.

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair and Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in Patients With Massive Rotator Cuff Tears and High-Grade Fatty Atrophy Without Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis.

Background: Despite the effectiveness of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) for treating massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs), controversies remain in patients without glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA).

Purpose: To compare clinical outcomes of ARCR or RSA in patients with MRCT with high-grade fatty atrophy without GHOA.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

It gives you a really great feeling, knowing that what you are doing is making somebody's day: Provider perspectives on implementing the individualized positive psychosocial interaction.

The Individualized Positive Psychosocial Interaction (IPPI) is an evidence-based program that supports engaging people living with dementia and their care partners in the nursing home (NH). IPPIs are brief, one-to-one, preference-based activities to improve well-being and decrease behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. The purpose of this study was to understand barriers and facilitators to implementing the IPPI program from the perspective of NH provider champions.
