A reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a prosthesis that should be used in patients who have specific contraindications to the more conventional total shoulder prosthetic replacements. The patient and surgeon should understand that this reconstruction is technically more difficult and is associated with more complications than conventional shoulder reconstructions. The reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been used in Europe more than in North America, and the experience in Europe is guiding its use in North America. An understanding of the mechanics of the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and the technical details of its implantation will help in understanding its role in shoulder reconstruction.

Background: Non-invasive treatment options are preferred for managing upper extremity pain due to osteoarthritis (OA). Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (TcPRF) is a promising technique and appears effective in managing knee and shoulder pain.
Objectives: To investigate whether TcPRF treatment is effective in reducing pain and safe to use among patients with OA of the upper extremity.
Novel Custom 3D-Printed Glenoid in Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Case Report of Bilateral Total Shoulder Arthroplasties.

Glenoid bone loss in the setting of complex reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) poses a challenge to surgeons. The advent of custom-made glenoid implants has allowed for the restoration of glenoid alignment and version in cases of significant defects. We present a novel case of a patient who underwent bilateral rTSAs, one of which was performed with a 3D-printed custom glenoid implant.

As the incidence of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) continues to increase with its expanding indications, a growing number of patients are being considered for bilateral RSA. This review aims to explore the functional outcomes of patients with bilateral RSA and examine the effect of risk factors and implant positioning on internal rotation. Multiple studies have reported favorable results in bilateral RSA patients, with significantly improved patient-reported and clinical outcomes bilaterally.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital, Richmond, VA, USA.
Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has become increasingly popular in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue. However, differences in outcomes of RTSA for fractures compared with other indications are poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the compare the incidences of adverse events during RTSA to treat cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) versus RTSA to treat fractures, as well as identify risk factors for any adverse event.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown potential in regenerative medicine. In the present study the effects of MSC dosage and recipient sex on tendon regeneration were evaluated.
Methods: A full-thickness tendon defect (FTTD) was created on supraspinatus tendons (SSTs) of rats and cryoprotective solution (CPS) and MSCs (0.
