Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), looking to identify factors that lead to persistent pain in some patients post-surgery.
- A total of 703 patients were analyzed, revealing that 18% experienced ongoing pain two years after surgery, with key predictors being higher preoperative pain levels, anxiety or depression symptoms, and previous shoulder surgeries.
- Understanding these predictors can help clinicians tailor pain management strategies for at-risk patients to improve surgical outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the outcomes of nonoperative treatment versus arthroscopically assisted stabilization for patients with acute Rockwood type 5 acromioclavicular joint dislocations.
- 48 patients treated nonoperatively and 48 matched patients who underwent surgery were evaluated for clinical and radiological outcomes over an average follow-up of 62 months.
- Results showed that the nonoperative group had better Constant scores and lower pain levels, while the surgical group had greater stability issues post-surgery compared to their initial condition.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how scapulothoracic orientation affects simulated range of motion (ROM) in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), expecting notable differences between adjusted and unadjusted values.
- Using CT scans from ten shoulder patients, six surgeons independently planned rTSA with software that adjusted for scapular orientation, comparing various movement planes.
- Results showed significant differences in all movement planes with adjustments leading to lower ROM values, particularly in external rotation, extension, and internal rotation, indicating the importance of posture in preoperative planning for rTSA.
Background: Treatment of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) separations remains controversial. Yet, conservative treatment has become more common even for high-grade injuries. Available conservative treatment does currently however not address the loss of anatomical joint integrity in Rockwood (RW) III and V injuries.

- The study aimed to compare the constraint levels of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) liners from different implant systems, focusing on how design affects stability.
- Using 3D planning software, measurements of jump height, stability ratio, and angle of coverage were conducted for various liner sizes to evaluate differences among implant systems.
- Results indicated significant variability in stability ratios and jump heights between different rTSA systems, with some systems maintaining consistency in stability across sizes while others showed considerable inconsistencies.
