Background: Shoulder arthroplasty has had increasing global demand, technical development, and research interest in the past few decades, with the publication of numerous articles. However, little is known about the characteristics and evaluation of these articles. Our objective was to study and analyze the top 100 cited articles in shoulder arthroplasty research.
Materials And Methods: Publications on shoulder arthroplasty from inception to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science. The top 100 publications were defined by the number of citations, and their characteristics were recorded and analyzed. A visualized study of the articles was performed using VOSviewer software.
Results: The top 100 cited articles were published between 1981 and 2018, with the 2000s the most productive decade. Citations per article ranged from 103 to 822. The countries with the most articles were the United States followed by France and Switzerland. Most of the articles were level III evidence. The keywords for the articles were primarily in 5 clusters: infection, fracture, osteoarthritis, perioperative complications, and prosthetic design.
Conclusions: The characteristics of influential articles on shoulder arthroplasty were thoroughly analyzed. Most studies focused on surgical techniques and perioperative complications with a relatively low level of evidence.

An essential goal of the care that orthopaedic surgeons provide is improving outcomes in orthopaedic surgery. The use of nutritional interventions to improve outcomes has not been previously emphasized. It is important to focus on the types of nutritional interventions available and how they have been shown to affect the outcomes of treatment of fractures and elective procedures, including anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and joint arthroplasty, with an emphasis on total shoulder arthroplasty.

Current treatment options have specific advantages and disadvantages. These treatments include hemiarthroplasty with or without glenoid reaming, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with or without eccentric reaming, TSA with bone graft or posteriorly augmented glenoid implant, and reverse TSA.

With reverse shoulder arthroplasty often reserved for the older patient (older than 60 years) with rotator cuff arthropathy, treatment of the younger patient population (younger than 60 years) without arthritis is more complex. When determining a surgical approach, the clinical presentation including history and physical examination plays a vital role in the decision tree.

It is important to review common TSA-related complications and to summarize risk factors along with causes of these complications and how to avoid them. The orthopaedic surgeon should be knowledgeable about how to successfully manage complications to achieve good patient outcomes and the etiologies and management of the painful and stiff shoulder arthroplasty, subscapularis failure after anatomic TSA, instability after reverse shoulder arthroplasty, and acromion stress fractures in the setting of reverse TSA.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRotator cuff tears are a prevalent musculoskeletal issue, particularly among middle-aged and elderly individuals, affecting shoulder stability and arm movement. These tears can arise from acute injuries or chronic wear and tear, leading to conditions ranging from tendinopathy to cuff tear arthropathy. The prevalence increases with age, with a significant portion of older adults affected, many of whom may be asymptomatic.
