Background: Cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) is characterized by superior migration of the humeral head with superior erosion of the glenoid. Rarely, humeral head migration can be anteroinferior with associated anterior erosion of the glenoid, a pattern d...
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) is the most common reason for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). There is minimal understanding of the natural progression of osteoarthritis of the shoulder and of the morphologic differences between men an...
Background/Objectives: Evaluating glenoid changes in rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) is crucial for preoperative planning. MRI with zero echo time (ZTE) sequence, which produces CT-like images, allows for the assessment of osseous morphology as...
Background: The management of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears with an isolated loss of external rotation presents significant challenges. Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer in conjunction with medialized reverse total shoulder arthroplas...
Synovial osteochondromatosis (SO) is a rare disease in which chondrometaplasia develops in the synovium of joints, bursa, and tendon sheaths. SO is found most frequently in the knee joint, while cases of SO developing in the shoulder joint are rare,...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with Osteoarthritis (OA) is an increasingly recognised entity. Whilst the degenerative pattern in cuff-tear arthropathy (CTA) has been well documented, the biological processes behind primary shoulder OA and CTA r...
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the progression of cartilage thinning in patients with symptomatic rotator cuff tears using MRI. Methods: Two hundred twenty-five consecutive patients with symptomatic rotator cuf...
Shoulder arthroplasty has significantly gained popularity in orthopedic surgery, driven by progress in prosthesis design and surgical techniques. This study explored the epidemiology of shoulder arthroplasty, analyzing healthcare data from 2012 to 20...
Background: Scapular notching following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is caused by both biological and mechanical mechanisms. Some authors postulated that osteolysis that extends over the inferior screw is caused mainly by biological notching....
Background/Objectives: To investigate clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) using a rehabilitation protocol of either 4 or 6 weeks of immobilization. Methods: This comparative study analyze...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has become a widely used procedure since its introduction in the 1980s, and is currently used to treat a wider range of conditions than its original indication. The original Grammont-style RSA revolutionized should...
Background. The indications for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have been widely expanded, but only a few studies report the long-term survival of these implants. Our objective was to report the long-term survivorship of a large series of RSAs im...
Shoulder disorders occasionally cause intractable pain. Central sensitization (CS) may be involved in such pain. Identifying risk factors associated with CS is crucial for effective pain control. This study aimed to determine the effects of shoulder...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has transformed the management of shoulder pathologies, including cuff tear arthropathy and osteoarthritis. The innovative design principles of RSA, such as the medialization and inferiorization of the joint center...
After artificial joint surgery, bone density may decrease around the artificial joint; thus, postoperative bone density evaluation around the artificial joint is crucial. We investigated changes in bone mineral density and performed radiographic eval...
Background/Objectives: Classical reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a high neck–shaft angle (NSA) of 155° has shown satisfactory outcomes. However, newer RSA designs aim to improve results by modifying the stem design. This study eval...
Background: With the increase in utility and popularity of the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) within the last decades, indications for RTSA have expanded. As well as the established indications such as cuff tear arthropathy and massive ir...
Background: Long-term clinical and radiographic outcome data after standard cemented long-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) remain underreported. The aim of this study is to report on medium- to long-term data of patients over 60 years of age....
Background: In recent years, the use of short cementless humeral components in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has increased. This systematic review aimed to compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of uncemented RTSA using short ver...
Background/Objectives: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been widely used for the treatment of shoulder pathologies, particularly rotator cuff tear arthropathy. Currently, it is also increasingly performed for different indications. Like in any...
Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is increasingly used for managing cuff tear arthropathy, osteoarthritis, complex fractures, and revision procedures. As the demand for surgical precision and reproducibility grows, immersive tech...
