- The study explores the concept of Substantial Clinical Benefit (SCB) values, which measure how much change in patient outcomes is needed for individuals to perceive significant improvement after a medical intervention.
- By analyzing data from patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty across different regions of the U.S., the study aimed to understand how SCB values may vary based on factors like the geographic location and time post-surgery.
- Results showed considerable variability in SCB values across different regions and procedures, indicating that the setting of these values can greatly influence study outcomes and interpretations.
Introduction: Traumatic shoulder dislocations in elderly patients can result in significant shoulder pathology. Rotator cuff tears and recurrent instability are common complications follow a dislocation event, while axillary nerve injury is less common. While there have been rare cases of recurrent shoulder instability with concomitant axillary nerve injury, there have been no prior cases, in which concurrent fracture fragmentation resulted in the initial gross instability.

Wear-induced particulate debris is the main cause initiating this destructive process. The purpose of this article is to review recent advances in understanding of how wear debris causes osteolysis, and emergent strategies for the avoidance and treatment of this disease.

AC joint repair has a long history and dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century.
Main Body: Since then, over 150 different techniques have been described, covering open and closed techniques.
