Prevalence and risk factors of scapular stress fracture after reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a multicentric retrospective study.

Purpose: Scapular stress fracture (sSF) is a difficult complication to treat after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and possible risk factors in a large population.

Methods: A total of 2165 RSAs that were implanted between January 2006 and October 2017 in five hospitals were evaluated.

Rotator cuff repair with all-suture anchors: a midterm magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of repair integrity and cyst formation.

Background: This study investigated the feasibility and safety of all-suture anchors in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: All patients were diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear by ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients with partial tears, massive tears, subscapularis tears, or previous shoulder surgery, were excluded.
