Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 2.1% of patients (n=138) experienced dislocations, primarily within the first 90 days post-surgery, with different treatment approaches for dislocation including closed reduction, open reduction, revision arthroplasty, or benign neglect.
  • * Among those treated with closed reduction, only 31% were successfully resolved without further intervention, while many either required revision surgery or experienced recurrent dislocations, highlighting the complexity of managing these postoperative complications.

Background: Subscapularis management is a critical component to the success of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Failure to heal the subscapularis can result in pain, weakness, loss of function, and revision. However, not all patients have poor outcomes.

Background: Use of standard-length anatomic total shoulder (TSA) humeral stems has been associated with high rates of medial calcar bone loss. Calcar bone loss has been attributed to stress shielding, debris-induced osteolysis, and undiagnosed infection. Short stem and canal-sparing humeral components may provide more optimal stress distribution and thus lower rates of calcar bone loss related to stress shielding.

Article Synopsis
  • Instability or dislocation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a common problem that doctors face when treating patients.
  • A big study involving over 6,600 patients from 15 different hospitals looked at how often dislocations happen and what factors might cause them.
  • The results showed that the overall dislocation rate was 2.1%, but higher for patients getting revision surgeries, and some patients were more likely to dislocate than others based on their specific shoulder issues.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the risk factors for acromial and scapular spine fractures following reverse shoulder arthroplasty in patients with different diagnoses such as glenohumeral arthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, and massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
  • Data from 4,764 patients who underwent the procedure between January 2013 and June 2019 were analyzed, revealing an overall stress fracture incidence of 4.1%, with higher rates in patients with rotator cuff issues compared to those with arthritis.
  • Specifically, the presence of inflammatory arthritis was a significant predictor of fractures in glenohumeral arthritis patients, while factors such as sex and osteoporosis were also relevant in the rotator cuff arthropathy
