Background No consensus exists among orthopedic surgeons regarding the optimal intervention for adhesive capsulitis. The purpose of this study was to determine which treatment provides the best objective outcome following manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), MUA + arthroscopic capsular release (CR), or CR alone. Methods Between 2011 and 2015, 97 shoulders were treated for adhesive capsulitis (MUA, MUA+CR, CR) and followed for three months or until achieving full range of motion (ROM).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates two methods, asymmetric reaming (AR) and posteriorly augmented glenoid (PAG) components, to correct posterior glenoid wear and retroversion in shoulder arthroplasty patients.* -
  • Results show that both approaches improve glenoid version, with PAG components generally providing greater correction but also posing a higher risk for central peg perforation, particularly with the 5 mm augmentation.* -
  • Overall, both methods effectively re-center the humeral head, but further long-term studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical significance of these outcomes.*

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine a correlation between surgical case order and the length of operative time, total length of time in the operating room, time until discharge from the hospital, and the incidence of intraoperative complications for primary total shoulder arthroplasty cases.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of records for all individual primary total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty at a single hospital. In order to compare true parameters and minimize variables, only the cases performed by one senior author were analyzed.
