Traditional practice favors total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) for the treatment of primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis (PGHO) with an intact rotator cuff; however, the indications for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have expanded to include PGHO. The purpose of this systematic review is to compare the mean differences in the range of motion and patient-reported outcomes between the TSA and RSA with an intact rotator cuff and to analyze the subgroup of the Walch type B2 glenoid. This IRB-exempt, PROSPERO-registered systematic review strictly followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines.

Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to compare biomechanical outcomes during a drop vertical jump (DVJ) between patients with a hamstring tendon (HT) autograft, quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft with bone block, QT autograft without bone block, and bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft at 6 months postoperatively in an adolescent population. The authors' hypothesized there would be differences in DVJ biomechanics between athletes depending on the type of autograft used.
Article Synopsis
- Silicon T centers show potential for creating effective spin qubits in all-silicon devices, but they struggle with long excited state lifetimes and dim emission.
- Nanophotonic cavities can enhance emission efficiency by utilizing the Purcell effect, improving light emission into the desired zero-phonon line.
- This study demonstrates a significant increase in brightness and efficiency of the zero-phonon line emission from a single T center in these cavities, achieving a 63.4% overall emission efficiency and a Purcell factor over 18.
Purpose: To characterize the prevalence and incidence of in-game hand and wrist injuries in the National Basketball Association (NBA), to determine the factors associated with an equal or greater player efficiency rating (PER), and to determine the factors associated with an equal or greater true shooting percentage (TS%) 2 years after a hand and wrist injury using a large-scale national database of NBA players.
Methods: Injury data from seasons 2015-2016 to 2020-2021, with exclusion of the 2019-2020 because of abbreviated play due to the coronavirus disease 2019, were extracted from a public online database, Pro Sports Transactions. Injury characteristics and NBA player demographic information were assessed using descriptive statistics.
