Prior authorization review (PAR), in the United States, is a process that was initially intended to focus on hospital admissions and costly high-acuity care. Over time, payors have broadened the scope of PAR to include imaging studies, prescriptions, and routine treatment. The potential detrimental effect of PAR on health care has recently been bro...

As the utilization and success of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) have continued to grow, so have its surgical indications. Despite the adoption of RTSA for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) with an intact rotator cuff and irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (MCTs) without arthritis, the literature remains sparse reg...

Glenoid-sided lateralization in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) decreases bony impingement and improves rotational range of motion, but has been theorized to increase the risk of acromial or scapular spine fractures (ASFs). The purpose of this study was to assess if glenoid-sided lateralization even up to 8 mm increases the risk for stress frac...

Treating seizure-related shoulder injuries is challenging, and an evidence-based consensus to guide clinicians is lacking. The aim of this prospective single-center observational clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical results of a cohort of patients undergoing treatment of seizure-related shoulder injuries, to categorize them according to the ...

Hemiarthroplasty (HA) is a treatment option for complex proximal humeral fractures not suitable for conservative treatment or open reduction-internal fixation. Long-term outcomes using a large-metaphyseal volume prosthesis in the management of proximal humeral fractures have not been reported thus far. Between 2006 and 2010, 41 patients with proxim...

When patients require reoperation after primary shoulder arthroplasty, revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is most commonly performed. However, defining clinically important improvement in these patients is challenging because benchmarks have not been previously defined. Furthermore, although the minimal clinically important differe...

Subscapularis function is critical after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). Recently, however, a technique has been described that features a chevron or V-shaped subscapularis tendon cut (VT). This biomechanical study compared repair of the standard tenotomy (ST), made perpendicular to the subscapularis fibers, to repair of the novel VT u...

The Latarjet procedure is widely used to address anterior shoulder instability, especially in case of glenoid bone loss. Recently, cortical suture button fixation for coracoid transfer has been used to mitigate complications seen with screw placement. The aim of this biomechanical study was to evaluate the stability of a novel and cost-effective co...

The posterolateral capsule was recognized in the past as an important structure for elbow stability but was later disregarded. Two recent biomechanical studies demonstrated its role in preventing posterolateral instability, and thus it should be identified as a distinct ligament: the posterolateral ligament (PLL). This study includes 2 parts: an an...

Understanding the role of social determinants of health disparities (SDHDs) in surgical outcomes can better prepare providers to improve postoperative care. In this study, we use International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes to identify SDHDs and investigate the risk of postoperative complication rates among patients undergoing total shoulde...
