Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to identify Shoulder Instability Return to Sport after Injury (SIRSI) scores in athletes who underwent open Latarjet surgery, determine the reasons why athletes failed to return to play (RTP) after Latarjet surgery, and compare SIRSI scores of those who did vs. did not RTP. METHODS According to PRISMA guidelines, the PubMed, SportDiscus, and Ovid MEDLINE databases were queried to identify studies evaluating return to sport after Latarjet surgery. Study quality was assessed using the MINORS criteria. Studies were included if RTP after Latarjet surgery and a psychological factor were evaluated, with potential psychological factors including readiness to RTP and reasons for failure to RTP. RESULTS Fourteen studies, 10 of level III evidence and 4 of level IV evidence, with 1034 patients were included. A total of 978 athletes were eligible to RTP. Of these, 792 (79%) successfully returned to play and 447 (56.4%) returned to play at their previous level of play. Mean RTP time was 6.2 months. Postoperative SIRSI scores averaged 71.2 ± 8.8 at a mean of 21 months' follow-up. Postoperative SIRSI scores for those able to RTP was 73.2, whereas athletes unable to RTP scored an average of 41.5. Mean postoperative SIRSI scores for those in contact sports was 71.4, whereas those in noncontact sports was 86.5. There were 31 athletes with a documented reason why they did not RTP, with postoperative shoulder injury being the most common reason (54.5%). Fear of reinjury and feeling "not psychologically confident" each represented 6.5% of the total. CONCLUSION Athletes who RTP have higher average SIRSI scores than those who are unable to RTP. Of the athletes who documented why they did not RTP, more than half cited a shoulder injury as their reason for not returning to play, whereas fear of reinjury and lack of psychological readiness were other common reasons.

Abstract
Background Improvements in pain control after shoulder arthroplasty with a reduction in narcotic use continues to be an important postoperative goal. With the increased utilization of stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA), it is relevant to compare between stemmed and stemless arthroplasty to assess if there is any association between this implant design change and early postoperative pain. Methods Patients from a multicenter, prospectively-maintained database who had undergone a stemless aTSA with a minimum of two year clinical follow-up were retrospectively identified. Patients who underwent aTSA with a short stem were identified in the same registry, and matched to the stemless aTSA patients by age, sex and preoperative pain score. The primary study outcome was the Visual Analog Scale pain score. Secondary pain outcomes were the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder pain subscore, Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder physical symptoms subscore, and the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score. Finally, the percentage of patients who could sleep on the affected shoulder was assessed for each group. These pain-related clinical outcomes were assessed and compared preoperatively, and postoperatively at 9 weeks, 26 weeks, one year and two years. For all statistical comparisons, P > .05 was considered significant. Results 124 patients were included in the study; 62 in each group. At 9 weeks after surgery, statistically significantly improved pain control was reported by patients undergoing stemless aTSA, as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (stemless: 1.5, stemmed: 2.5, P = .001), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons pain subscore (stemless: 42.4, stemmed: 37.3, P < .001), Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Physical Symptoms (stemless: 80.3, stemmed: 73.1, P = .006) and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (stemless: 58.1, stemmed: 47.4, P = .011). Patients who underwent a stemless aTSA were significantly more likely to be able to sleep on the affected shoulder at 9 weeks (29% vs. 11%, odds ratio 3.2, 95% confidence interval 1.2-8.4, P = .014). By 26 weeks postoperatively, there were no differences in all pain-specific outcomes. At two years postoperatively, patient-reported outcomes, range of motion, and strength measures were all similar between the two cohorts. Conclusion Stemless aTSA provides earlier improvement in postoperative shoulder pain compared to matched patients undergoing short-stem aTSA. Additionally, earlier return to sleeping on the affected shoulder was reported in the stemless aTSA group. The majority of these differences dissipate by 26 weeks postoperatively and there were no differences in pain, patient-reported outcomes, range of motion or strength measures between stemless and short-stem aTSA at 2 years postoperatively.

Abstract
Background Glenohumeral osteophytes (OPs) can adversely influence postoperative range of motion (ROM) following shoulder arthroplasty due to mechanical impingement. Though commercial three-dimensional preoperative planning software (3D PPS) is available to simulate ROM before and after OP resection, little is known about the magnitude of effect OPs and their subsequent removal have on simulated glenohumeral ROM. Methods Included patients were 1) indicated for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) using 3D PPS and 2) presented with glenoid and/or humeral head OPs on preoperative two-dimensional computed tomography (2D-CT) imaging. Thirty patients met the inclusion criteria (9 females, 21 males; mean age 70.45 ± 4.99 years, range 63-80 years). All subjects (n = 30) presented with humeral OPs (mean volume: 2905.16 mm3, range 109.1-11,246 mm3), while 11 subjects also presented with glenoid OPs (mean volume 108.06 mm3, range 37.59-791.4 mm3). Preoperative CTs were used to calculate OP volume (mm3) and OP circumferential extent (clockface). Mean clockface position for circumferential humeral OPs originated at 6:09 (range 4:30-7:15) and extended to 8:51 (range 8:15-10:15). Mean clockface position for glenoid OPs originated at 3:00 (range 2:00-5:00) and extended to 6:16 (range 3:00-7:30). 3D implants on PPS were standardized to achieve 0° of version, 0° of inclination and 4 mm of net lateralization. Thirty-nine and thirty-six mm glenospheres were used for males and females, respectively. 3D PPS was used to evaluate simulated ROM differences before and after OP removal in the planes of adduction (ADD), abduction, internal rotation (IR), external rotation (ER), extension, and flexion. Impact of OP volume and circumferential extent on pre and postop removal ROM were also analyzed. Results Humeral OP removal significantly increased impingement-free ADD, IR, ER, extension, and flexion. Removal of larger (mm3) humeral OPs positively correlated with improvement in IR (R = 0.452, P = .011), ER (R = 0.394, P = .033), and flexion (R = 0.500, P < .01). Greater circumferential extent of humeral OPs correlated with worse preremoval ROM in the planes of ADD (R = 0.364, P = .02) and extension (R = 0.403, P = .04), and improvements in ER postop removal (R = 0.431, P = .03). Conclusion Humeral OP removal significantly increases impingement-free ADD, IR, ER, extension, and flexion in simulated 3D PPS models following rTSA. Magnitude of simulated ROM improvement is influenced by initial humeral OP volume and circumferential clockface extent. Surgeons should consider these effects when using 3D PPS for rTSA planning to optimize postoperative ROM prognostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term outcomes of osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation to the humeral head have been sparsely reported in the literature. PURPOSE To evaluate outcomes and survivorship of OCA transplantation to the humeral head in patients with osteochondral defects at a minimum of 10 years of follow-up. METHODS A registry of patients who underwent humeral head OCA transplantation between 2004 and 2012 was reviewed. Patients completed pre and postoperative surveys including the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Simple Shoulder Test, Short Form 12 (SF-12), and the visual analog scale. Failure was defined by conversion to shoulder arthroplasty. RESULTS Fifteen of 21 (71%) patients with a minimum of ten year of follow-up (mean: 14.2 ± 2.40) were identified. Mean patient age was 26.1 ± 8.8 years at the time of transplantation and eight (53%) patients were male. Surgery was performed on the dominant shoulder in 11 of the 15 (73%) cases. The use of local anesthetic delivered via an intra-articular pain pump was the most often reported underlying etiology of chondral injury (n = 9; 60%). Eight (53%) patients were treated with an allograft plug, while seven (47%) patients were treated with a mushroom cap allograft. At final follow-up, mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (49.9 to 81.1; P = .048) and Simple Shoulder Test (43.1 to 83.3; P = .010) significantly improved compared to baseline. Changes in mean SF-12 physical (41.4 to 48.1; P = .354), SF-12 mental (57.5 to 51.8; P = .354), and visual analog scale (4.0 to 2.8; P = .618) did not reach statistical significance. Eight (53%) patients required conversion to shoulder arthroplasty at an average of 4.8 ± 4.7 years (range: 0.6-13.2). Kaplan-Meier graft survival probabilities were 60% at 10 years and 41% at 15 years. CONCLUSION OCA transplantation to the humeral head can result in acceptable long-term function for patients with osteochondral defects. While patient-reported outcomes metrics were generally improved compared to baseline, OCA graft survival probabilities diminished with time. The findings from this study can be used to counsel future patients with significant glenohumeral cartilage injuries and set expectations about the potential for further surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current literature shows that the prevalence of depressive disorders (DD) is increasing in the United States. Patients with DD have worse outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty; however, properly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria evaluating the effects of DD on primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) are limited. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients with and without DD undergoing primary RSA, evaluating: (1) in-hospital length of stay (LOS), (2) medical complications, (3) emergency department (ED) utilizations, and (4) cost of care. METHODS A retrospective query was performed using a nationwide administrative claims database from 2010 to 2020 for all patients who underwent primary RSA for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The query yielded a total of 24,326 patients within the study (DD, n = 4084) and comparison (without DD, n = 20,242) cohorts. The primary end points were in-hospital LOS, 90-day medical complications, and total 90-day episode of care costs. Subanalyses compared whether DD diagnosis and preoperative ED utilization within 6 months of RSA were associated with increased incidence and odds of postoperative ED utilization within 90 days. P values less than .004 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS Patients with DD undergoing primary RSA had significantly longer LOS (3 vs. 2 days, P < .0001) compared with patients without DD. The study group also had higher frequency and odds ratio (OR) of complications (47.40% vs. 17.63%; OR: 2.27, P < .0001) such as pneumonia (10.04% vs. 2.15%; OR: 2.88, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.47-3.35, P < .0001), cerebrovascular accidents (3.13% vs. 0.86%; OR: 2.69, 95% CI: 2.09-3.46, P < .0001), myocardial infarctions (1.98% vs. 0.51%; OR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.84-3.50, P < .0001), and other adverse events. Among patients who had a diagnosis of DD, preoperative ED utilization within 6 months of RSA was associated with increased odds of postoperative ED utilization within 90 days compared with those without ED utilization preoperatively (15.08% vs. 13.64%; OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.04-1.28, P = .003). Controlling for preoperative ED utilization and comorbidities, patients with DD experienced a 2- to 3-fold increase in postoperative ED use within 90 days after surgery (P < .0001). Patients with DD also incurred significantly higher episode of care costs ($19,363.10 vs. $17,927.55, P < .0001). CONCLUSION This retrospective study shows that patients with DD undergoing primary RSA for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis have longer in-hospital LOS, higher rates of complications, and increased costs of care. Preoperative health care utilization among patients with DD may be associated with increased utilization postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although initial studies have demonstrated that concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) injections promote rotator cuff repair (RCR) healing, there are no randomized prospective studies investigating clinical efficacy. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE To compare outcomes after arthroscopic RCR (aRCR) with and without cBMA augmentation. It was hypothesized that cBMA augmentation would result in statistically significant improvements in clinical outcomes and rotator cuff structural integrity. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS Patients indicated for aRCR of isolated 1- to 3-cm supraspinatus tendon tears were randomized to receive adjunctive cBMA injection or sham incision. Bone marrow was aspirated from the iliac crest, concentrated using a commercially available system, and injected at the aRCR site after repair. Patients were assessed preoperatively and serially until 2 years postoperatively via the following functional indices: American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Simple Shoulder Test, 12-Item Short Form Health Survey, and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed at 1 year to assess rotator cuff structural integrity according to Sugaya classification. Treatment failure was defined as decreased 1- or 2-year ASES or SANE scores as compared with preoperative baseline, the need for revision RCR, or conversion to total shoulder arthroplasty. RESULTS An overall 91 patients were enrolled (control, n = 45; cBMA, n = 46): 82 (90%) completed 2-year clinical follow-up and 75 (82%) completed 1-year MRI. Functional indices significantly improved in both groups by 6 months and were sustained at 1 and 2 years (all P < .05). The control group showed significantly greater evidence of rotator cuff retear according to Sugaya classification on 1-year MRI (57% vs 18%; P < .001). Treatment failed for 7 patients in each group (control, 16%; cBMA, 15%). CONCLUSION cBMA-augmented aRCR of isolated supraspinatus tendon tears may result in a structurally superior repair but largely fails to significantly improve treatment failure rates and patient-reported clinical outcomes when compared with aRCR alone. Additional study is warranted to investigate the long-term benefits of improved repair quality on clinical outcomes and repair failure rates. REGISTRATION NCT02484950 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the functional and athletic outcomes after primary subpectoral biceps tenodesis for type II SLAP tear in overhead athletes. METHODS All competitive elite athletes with type II SLAP tears undergoing biceps tenodesis by a single surgeon were isolated between 2007 and 2015. Exclusion criteria were applied to individuals not involved in overhead athletics, clinical follow-up <24 months, adjacent rotator cuff or labral repair, concomitant SLAP repair, and/or previous arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Patient-reported outcome measures included visual analog scale (VAS), Kerlan Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic shoulder score, and Single Assessment Numerical Assessment. Clinical and sporting outcomes were recorded using a sports-specific questionnaire. RESULTS Of 22 identified patients, 16 competitive overhead athletes (72.7%; 11 men, 5 women) with a mean age of 21.0 years were available at mean 4.5-year follow-up. Baseball or softball comprised the majority of patients (n = 9; 56.3%), followed by gymnastics (n = 2), swimming (n = 2), and other sports (n = 3). At mean 4.1 months postoperatively, 13 patients (81.3%) returned to previous level of athletic activity, whereas 2 patients (12.5%) failed to return to sporting activity and 1 (6.3%) returned at a lower level of competition. VAS pain significantly decreased from an average of 4.4 preoperatively to 1.7 postoperatively (P = .002), and mean Single Assessment Numerical Assessment scores also demonstrated significant improvement (55.4-76.7; P = .008). Final mean Kerlan Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic score was 74.0 (standard deviation 25.9), including 2 patients with suboptimal outcomes due to persistent pain. There were no significant differences in mean forward flexion or rotation in either the adducted or throwing position (P > .05), although small, significant decreases in postoperative active abduction were noted (165° vs 155°; P = .003). CONCLUSIONS In the current series of competitive overhead athletes, 81% of patients returned to previous level of play at an average of 4.1 months postoperatively after subpectoral biceps tenodesis for symptomatic SLAP tear. Athletes reliably experienced significant decreased activity-related pain with athletic function. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, case series.

Abstract
Purpose To compare outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in patients with prior arthroscopic acromioplasty versus a control group of patients with no history of acromioplasty. Methods We performed a retrospective matched-cohort study of patients from a single institution who underwent RTSA with a history of acromioplasty from 2009 to 2017 with a minimum 2-year follow-up period. Patients' clinical outcomes were evaluated using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder score and Simple Shoulder Test, visual analog scale, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation surveys. Postoperative radiographs and patient charts were reviewed to determine whether patients sustained a postoperative acromial fracture. Charts were reviewed to determine range of motion and postoperative complications. Patients were matched on a 1:1 basis to a cohort of patients who underwent RTSA without a history of acromioplasty, and comparisons were performed using t and χ2 tests. Results Forty-five patients who underwent RTSA with a history of acromioplasty met the inclusion criteria and completed the outcome surveys. There were no significant differences between cases and controls in post-RTSA American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, visual analog scale, Simple Shoulder Test, or Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation outcome scores. There was no difference in the postoperative acromial fracture rate between cases and controls (P = .577). Overall, more complications occurred in the study group (n = 6, 13.3%) compared with the control group (n = 4, 8.9%); however, this difference was not statistically significant (P = .737). Conclusions After RTSA, patients who have undergone a prior acromioplasty have similar functional outcomes without a significant difference in the rate of postoperative complications compared with patients with no history of acromioplasty. Furthermore, previous acromioplasty does not increase the risk of acromial fracture after RTSA. Level of Evidence Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction (UCLR) is a common surgery among baseball pitchers. UCL repair combined with augmentation using high-strength tape, referred to as an internal brace, was developed as an alternative to UCLR in select patients with the benefit of allowing these athletes to return to sport (RTS) faster. A combined UCLR with an internal brace may allow players indicated for a UCLR to RTS more expeditiously. METHODS Twenty-four cadaveric elbows were divided into 3 groups: 12 specimens into the modified docking (MD) group, 6 into the double-docking (DD) group, and 6 into the double docking with internal brace augmentation (DDA) group. This allowed a 1:1 comparison of the MD to the DD and the MD to the DDA. Valgus cyclic testing of native and reconstructed specimens was executed at 90° elbow flexion. After preconditioning, all specimens were cycled between 2 and 10 Nm for 250 cycles. Reconstructed specimens continued to a torque test to catastrophic failure step. Outcome data included intracyclic stiffness, maximum cyclic rotational displacement, gap formation, and failure torque. RESULTS Cyclic stiffness of the constructs remained constant throughout the entirety of the torque-controlled cycling phase. The DDA group resulted in a 38% increase in cyclic stiffness from native testing (not statistically significant) and a statistically significant 54% increase from the MD (P = .002). The DDA mean cyclic stiffness was significantly greater than the Native (P < .001), DD (P = .025), and MD (P < .001) groups. Between reconstruction groups, mean gap formation was greatest among the MD group (2.51° ± 1.59°) and least for the DDA group (1.01° ± 0.57°) but did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION Tape augmentation to the modified UCLR (DDA group) improved cyclic stiffness and reduced gap formation compared with the MD group.

Abstract
Several methods are available for subscapularis management in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The goal of this study was to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes of short-stem TSA stratified by subscapularis management technique. A multicenter trial was completed evaluating primary short-stem TSA performed with a subscapularis peel (n=80) or lesser tuberosity osteotomy (LTO) (n=59). The primary outcome measure was subscapularis function, as measured by internal rotation and strength at 1 year postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported outcomes, radiographic changes, and implant loosening. Patients in the peel group obtained better active internal rotation by spinal level (P=.004). No difference was seen between groups for internal rotation with 90° shoulder abduction (P=.862) or belly press (P=.903). Statistically significant improvements in functional outcomes were seen without clinical differences. Radiographic changes showed no difference in stem shift, subsidence, or at-risk loosening rate. Anterior subluxation of the humerus was observed among 2% of the LTO group vs 17% of the peel group (P=.006). At short-term follow-up, those in the peel group appear to have a better final spinal level of internal rotation, whereas those in the LTO group have a significantly lower rate of anterior humeral subluxation. Both LTO and subscapularis peel appear safe for short-stem TSA, with no radiographic evidence of loosening. [Orthopedics. 2022;45(3):151-155.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously reported the 1-year outcomes of arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis (ASPBT) versus open subpectoral biceps tenodesis (OSPBT) for the management of long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) pathology. While patients had similar 1-year biceps muscle strength and pain, longer-term functional outcomes are unknown. PURPOSE To directly compare clinical outcomes of ASPBT versus OSPBT with interference screw fixation, distal to the bony bicipital groove, at a minimum of 2 years' follow-up. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS A total of 85 patients undergoing biceps tenodesis (BT) for LHBT disease were randomized into the ASPBT or OSPBT group. Both techniques utilized polyether ether ketone inference screws for tenodesis fixation. Patients completed American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant subjective, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) questionnaires preoperatively and again at 6 months, 12 months, and at the final follow-up at a minimum of 24 months. RESULTS A total of 73 patients (37/42 randomized to ASPBT [88%]; 36/42 randomized to OSPBT [86%]) with a mean age of 50.4 ± 10.3 years and a mean body mass index of 29 ± 7.9 were included in clinical outcome analyses. The mean final follow-up was 2.9 years (ASPBT, 3 years; OSPBT, 2.8 years [range 2-5.2 years]). Comparison of demographic characteristics and intraoperative findings showed no significant differences in age, sex, concomitant procedures, and rotator cuff disease. No statistically significant differences in the ASES (P = .25), Constant subjective (P = .52), and SANE scores (P = .61) were found at the final follow-up. Clinical outcomes scores showed no significant improvement from a mean of 12.6 months to the final follow-up at 34.5 months (ASPBT: ASES, P = .43; Constant, P = .25; SANE, P = .45 vs OSPBT: ASES, P = .65; Constant, P = .78; SANE, P = .70). No patients required revision of BT in either group. CONCLUSION This study reported a minimum of 2-year follow-up of patients undergoing ASPBT or OSPBT, utilizing the same interference screw technique, for the management of LHBT pathology in the setting of concomitant shoulder procedures. There were no significant differences in patient-reported outcomes and complication rates found at any time point. REGISTRATION NCT02192073 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning software for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has been implemented in recent years in order to increase accuracy, improve efficiency, and add value to the outcome. A comprehensive literature review is required to determine the utility of preoperative 3D planning software in guiding orthopedic surgeons for implant placement in rTSA. We hypothesize that implementation of 3D preoperative planning software in the setting of rTSA leads to high concordance with minimal deviation from the preoperative plan. METHODS A comprehensive and iterative literature review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) using the PubMed, Embase, OVID Medline, Scopus, Cinahl, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases for original English-language studies evaluating the impact of preoperative planning software usage on rTSA outcomes published from January 1, 2000, to present. Blinded reviewers conducted multiple screens. All included studies were graded based on level of evidence, and data concerning patient demographics and postoperative outcomes were extracted. RESULTS Nine articles met inclusion criteria (1 level II, 3 level III, and 5 level IV articles), including 415 patients and 422 shoulders. Of the patients who underwent rTSA, 235 were female and 140 were male, although 3 studies (n = 40) did not report sex breakdowns for rTSA patients. The average age was 72.7 years. Four studies (79 shoulders) reported implant final position as mean deviation from planned version and planned inclination. Six studies (n = 236) reported screw angle deviation, fixation, length, and concordance. Concordance with the preoperative plan was measured in 3 studies (n = 178), resulting in complete concordance of 90% (n = 100), arthroplasty type concordance (rTSA vs. TSA) of 100% (n = 100), and glenosphere size concordance between 93% (n = 100) and 88% (n = 76). For screw length concordance, baseplate screw matched by 81% (n = 76) and 100% (n = 2), and upper (n = 35) and lower (n = 35) screw length concordance was observed as 74% and 69%, respectively. The use of preoperative planning (n = 178) was associated with low deviation from preoperative plan, more 2-screw fixations, and longer average screw length in comparison with an unplanned cohort. CONCLUSION The use of preoperative planning software in the setting of rTSA results in minimal deviation from preoperative plan. High levels of concordance in screw angle, screw length, and glenosphere size were observed. Further prospective studies should be conducted to further substantiate these results.

Abstract
Background and hypothesis The impact of preoperative fatty infiltration of specific rotator cuff muscles on the outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has not been well defined. Preoperative fatty infiltration of the shoulder musculature will negatively affect rTSA outcomes. Methods A comprehensive literature review was conducted as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses using PubMed, Embase, OVID Medline, Scopus, Cinahl, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases for original, English-language studies evaluating effect of fatty infiltration of shoulder musculature on rTSA outcomes published from January 1, 2000 to present. Blinded reviewers conducted multiple screens. All included studies were graded based on the level of evidence, and data concerning patient demographics and postoperative outcomes were extracted. Results A total of 11 articles were included, including one level I article, three level III articles, and seven level IV articles. The review consisted of 720 patients and 731 shoulders (320 women and 157 men), with a mean age of 72.4 years. A single deltopectoral approach was performed for a majority of studies (627/731 shoulders), followed by a superolateral approach (70/731 shoulders) and a single transdeltoid approach (4/731 patients). Eleven studies reported data specifically about preoperative fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff musculature; the teres minor was studied most widely (298/731 shoulders), followed by the subscapularis (256/731 shoulders) and infraspinatus (232/731 shoulders). The Constant score (562/731 shoulders) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (284/731 shoulders) were the most common recorded outcome scores. Fatty infiltration of the teres minor, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus was associated with worse range of motion after rTSA. Conclusion Preoperative fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff, particularly of the teres minor and infraspinatus, has a negative impact on subjective patient outcomes and restoration of range of motion, especially external rotation, after rTSA. The impact of fatty infiltration of the other rotator cuff muscles remains unclear, which may be due to intersurgeon differences in the handling of the remaining rotator cuff muscles or differences in implant design. The evaluated literature provides information on which patients can be educated about probable outcomes and restoration of function after rTSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Latissimus dorsi (LD) and teres major (TM) tears have become increasingly recognized injuries in professional baseball pitchers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether workload, as measured by the number of days of rest between outings, number of innings pitched, number of batters faced, and being a starting pitcher, is associated with an increased risk of sustaining an LD-TM tear in professional baseball pitchers. METHODS All professional baseball pitchers who sustained an LD-TM tear between 2011 and 2017 were identified using the Major League Baseball Health and Injury Tracking System. A separate player-usage data set was used to determine workload. We then compared workload variables between pitcher-games 2, 6, 12, and >12 weeks prior to a documented LD-TM tear and pitcher-games from a non-LD-TM tear control group. In a paired analysis, we compared the acute workload (2, 6, and 12 weeks) prior to injury and the injured pitchers' non-acute workload >12 weeks prior to injury. RESULTS A total of 224 unique LD-TM tears were documented in the Major League Baseball Health and Injury Tracking System database. In most periods, player-games with more innings pitched and more batters faced were associated with a higher incidence of subsequent LD-TM tears. The number of days of rest was not a significant predictor of an LD-TM tear in the acute workload setting, but pitchers who sustained an LD-TM injury averaged fewer days of rest over the previous ≥12 weeks than controls (P < .001). Pitchers who faced >30 batters per game showed a 1.57-fold increase in the percentage of pitchers with a subsequent LD-TM tear as compared with pitchers who faced ≤5 batters per game. Significantly more starting pitchers were in the case group that sustained LD-TM tears over multiple time points than in the control group. CONCLUSION Having a greater pitcher workload and being a starting pitcher were associated with an increased risk of sustaining LD-TM tears in professional baseball players. The average number of days of rest was only a risk factor for LD-TM tears over a 3-month or longer period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although results after ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) in baseball players have been well documented, the literature is replete regarding the outcomes after UCLR in javelin throwers. PURPOSE To report outcomes after UCLR in javelin throwers. HYPOTHESIS UCLR in javelin throwers will result in a high rate of return to play similar to that of previously published studies from athletes of other sports. METHODS All patients who were identified preoperatively as javelin throwers and underwent UCLR between 2011 and 2017 with a minimum 2-year follow-up were eligible for inclusion. Patients were assessed with the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score, Timmerman-Andrews Elbow score, Conway-Jobe score, patient satisfaction, return to sport rate questionnaire, and the occurrence of any postoperative complications. RESULTS Eighteen patients met the inclusion criteria. Complete follow-up was available in 16 (88.9%) patients. The average age at surgery was 21.2 ± 2.0 (range, 18.6-24.9) years. At the final follow-up, the average Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score and Timmerman-Andrews Elbow score were 77.3 (range, 18.7-98.4) and 91.8 (range, 70.0-100.0), respectively. Outcomes on the Conway-Jobe scale were as follows: excellent (n = 6; 37.5%), good (n = 4; 25%), fair (n = 6; 37.5%). Ten (62.5%) patients returned to play at an average of 12.2 ± 3.6 (range, 6.0-18.0) months after surgery. Two (12.5%) patients sustained a shoulder injury postoperatively; however, neither required surgery. CONCLUSION UCLR in javelin throwers results in good outcomes with a low rate of reinjury/reoperation. However, the return to play rate (62.5%) and good/excellent outcomes per the Conway-Jobe scale (68.8%) are lower than what has been previously reported in baseball players and javelin throwers. Further investigation regarding outcomes in javelin throwers after UCLR is warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the rate and duration of return to work in patients undergoing Latarjet for failed soft-tissue stabilization or glenoid bone loss. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing Latarjet from 2005 to 2015 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively. Patients completed a standardized and validated work questionnaire, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index Survey, and a satisfaction survey. RESULTS Of 89 eligible patients who had Latarjet, 67 patients (75.3%) responded to the questionnaire, of whom 51 patients (76.1%) were employed within 3 years before surgery (mean age: 29.9 ± 11.8 years; mean follow-up: 54.6 ± 11.9 months) and had an average glenoid bone loss of 14.5 ± 6.1%. Fifty patients (98.0%) returned to work by 2.7 ± 3.0 months postoperatively; 45 patients (88.2%) patients returned to the same level of occupational intensity. Those who held sedentary, light, moderate, or heavy intensity occupations returned to their previous occupation at a rate of 100.0%, 93.3%, 90.0%, and 66.7% (P = .2) at a duration of 1.2 ± 1.6 months, 1.8 ± 1.9 months, 3.1 ± 3.5 months, and 6.5 ± 4.1 months (P = .001), respectively. The average postoperative Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index score was 70.9 ± 34.2. Fifty patients (98.0%) noted at least "a little improvement" in their quality of life following surgery, with 35 patients (68.6%) noting great improvement. Furthermore, 49 patients (96.1%) reported being satisfied with their procedure, with 25 patients (49.0%) reporting being very satisfied. Four patients (7.8%) returned to the operating room, with 1 patient (2.0%) requiring arthroscopic shoulder stabilization. CONCLUSIONS Approximately 98% of patients who underwent Latarjet returned to work by 2.7 ± 3.0 months postoperatively. Patients with greater-intensity occupations had a longer duration of absence before returning to their preoperative level of occupational intensity. Information regarding return to work is imperative in preoperative patient consultation to manage expectations. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, case series.

Abstract
Background: Bicipital disorders are common among overhead athletes, especially professional baseball players. The ideal treatment for bicipital problems in professional baseball players is unknown. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to determine the return-to-sport (RTS) rate and performance after RTS in professional baseball players who underwent biceps tenodesis. It was hypothesized that there will be a high RTS rate in this population, with no difference between the biceps tenodesis and control groups in the RTS rate or performance. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: All professional Major League Baseball players who underwent biceps tenodesis between 2014 and 2017 were included. Players with concomitant rotator cuff repair were excluded. Demographic and performance data (preoperative and postoperative) were recorded for each player. Performance metrics were then compared between players with biceps tenodesis and matched controls (no history of biceps tenodesis). Results: Included were 14 players (mean age, 27 ± 4 years; 12 pitchers, 2 position outfielders). Most surgeries (79%) were open subpectoral tenodeses, 2 were arthroscopic biceps transfers, and 1 was an arthroscopic suprapectoral tenodesis. Fixation methods included cortical button (42%), interference screw (25%), suture anchor (25%), and drill holes (8%). Most players (79%) underwent concomitant procedures (43% underwent superior labral anterior-posterior repairs). While 86% (12/14) were able to RTS, 50% (7/14) returned at the same or a higher level, and 50% of the whole study were either unable to return or returned to a lower level. Among pitchers, 100% (12/12) were able to RTS, but only 50% (6/12) were able to return to the same or a higher level. For those players who did RTS, it took 245 ± 84 days, and their performance after RTS was unchanged and did not differ from that of matched controls. Conclusion: Open subpectoral tenodesis was the most common tenodesis technique performed on professional baseball players. While 86% of players returned to sport after biceps tenodesis, only 50% returned to the same or higher level. No decline in performance was noted in players who returned successfully.

Abstract
Background: Various methods exist for managing the joint capsule during the Latarjet procedure. Repairing the capsule to the native glenoid rim results in an extra-articular bone block, while repairing it to the remnant coracoacromial ligament stump of the coracoid graft renders it intra-articular. The technique that optimizes patient outcomes is not well defined. Purpose: To compare the outcomes of intra-articular and extra-articular bone block techniques for the Latarjet procedure. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we queried the PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for all studies reporting outcomes of the Latarjet procedure with a clearly defined method of capsular repair that rendered the coracoid graft intra-articular or extra-articular. The included levels of evidence and degree of heterogeneity in this study precluded meta-analysis. Outcomes of interest included preoperative variables, surgical technique, rehabilitation protocols, functional outcome assessments, recurrent instability, range of motion, and radiographic findings. Results: A total of 16 studies including 816 patients were included. A total of 8 studies employed an intra-articular bone block in 338 patients, while the other 8 employed an extra-articular technique in 478 patients. There was variation among studies in reference to baseline patient characteristics, surgical techniques, rehabilitation, methods for assessing patient outcomes, and follow-up times. Rates of postoperative instability were reported in 8 intra-articular (0%, 0%, 2.1%, 2.7%, 3.2%, 5%, 5.4%, 5.9%) and 7 extra-articular (0%, 0%, 1.2%, 2%, 3.9%, 6.3%, 14%) bone block studies. Postoperative osteoarthritis or progression of preoperative osteoarthritis was reported in 5 intra-articular bone block studies (0%, 5.6%, 23.5%, 23.5%, 25%) and 4 extra-articular bone block studies (0%, 1.9%, 5.2%, 8.6%). Conclusion: Varying capsular repair methods appeared to provide similar outcomes regarding stability. There was an apparent trend toward higher rates of post-traumatic arthritis among studies in which an intra-articular bone block technique was employed; however, it is possible that this was influenced by substantially different follow-up times between groups and other various sources of heterogeneity among the included studies. There were no studies in the literature directly comparing intra-articular and extra-articular bone block techniques. Large-scale randomized controlled trials or comparative studies are needed to draw stronger conclusions comparing the 2 techniques.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to establish a risk stratification nomogram to aid in determining the need for inpatient admission among patients who were eligible for Medicare and were undergoing primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify all patients older than 65 years who underwent primary TSA between 2006 and 2016. The primary outcome measure was inpatient admission, as defined by hospital length of stay longer than 2 days. Multiple demographic, comorbid, and peri-operative variables were used in a multivariate logistic regression model to yield a risk stratification nomogram. A total of 1514 inpatient and 6020 out-patient admissions were analyzed. Age older than 80 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.69; P<.0001; 95% CI, 2.21-3.27), female sex (OR, 2.18; P<.0001; 95% CI, 1.90-2.51), dependent functional status (OR, 1.69; P<.0001; 95% CI, 1.2-2.38), dialysis (OR, 3.48; P=.029; 95% CI, 1.14-10.63), admission from an inpatient facility (OR, 1.76; P<.0001; 95% CI, 1.70-1.82), and inflammatory arthritis (OR, 1.69; P<.02; 95% CI, 1.25-13.78) were the greatest determinants of inpatient stay. The resulting predictive model showed acceptable discrimination and calibration. Our model enabled reliable and straightforward identification of the most suitable candidates for inpatient admission among patients who were eligible for Medicare and were undergoing primary TSA. Patients who were receiving dialysis, who had dyspnea at rest, and who had bleeding disorders were more likely to be admitted as inpatients after TSA. Larger multicenter studies are necessary to externally validate the proposed predictive nomogram. [Orthopedics. 2022;45(1):43-49.].

Abstract
Background: Pectoralis major repair (PMR) is an infrequent injury that occurs during resistance training, most commonly during the eccentric phase of muscle contraction. As the incidence of weight training continues to increase, it is important to understand the outcomes after PMR. Purpose: To evaluate the rate and duration of return to work in patients undergoing PMR. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing PMR from 2010 to 2016 at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed at a minimum of 1 year postoperatively. Patients completed a standardized and validated work questionnaire, as well as a visual analog scale for pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons survey, Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation, and a satisfaction survey. Results: Of the 60 eligible patients who had a PMR, 49 (81.7%) were contacted at the final follow-up. Of the 49 patients, 46 (93.9%) had been employed within 3 years before surgery (mean ± SD age, 40.4 ± 8.2 years; follow-up, 3.9 ± 2.8 years). Of these, 45 (97.8%) returned to work by 1.6 ± 2.1 months postoperatively, and 41 (89.1%) returned to the same level of occupational intensity. Patients who held sedentary, light-, medium-, or high-intensity occupations returned to work at a rate of 100.0%, 100.0%, 83.3%, and 66.7% by 0.8 ± 1.0, 0.8 ± 1.0, 1.3 ± 2.7, and 3.3 ± 2.7 months, respectively. Five of 6 patients (83.3%) with workers’ compensation returned to their previous occupations by 5.0 ± 1.6 months, while 100% of those without workers’ compensation returned to work by 1.1 ± 1.7 months (P < .001). Overall, 44 patients (95.7%) were satisfied with the procedure, and 40 (87.0%) would have the operation again if presented the opportunity. A single patient (2.2%) required revision PMR. Conclusion: Approximately 98% of patients who underwent PMR returned to work by 1.6 ± 2.1 months postoperatively. Patients with higher-intensity occupations took longer to return to their preoperative levels of occupational intensity. Information regarding return to work is imperative in preoperative patient consultation to manage expectations.

Abstract
Biceps tenodesis and tenotomy are increasingly being used as treatment options for shoulder pathology, but patient satisfaction remains largely unstudied. A systematic review of the MEDLINE database was conducted to identify clinical outcome studies on isolated biceps tenodesis or tenotomy that reported patient satisfaction. Within the 15 investigations that were included, the indication for tenotomy was rotator cuff pathology, whereas the indication for tenodesis was biceps pathology or type 2 superior labral tear from anterior to posterior. Patients undergoing tenotomy were 13.6 years older than those undergoing tenodesis (P<.001). Patient satisfaction was high following both procedures, at 85.6% following tenotomy and 92.3% following tenodesis. [Orthopedics. 2021;44(6):333-340.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Latarjet coracoid transfer reconstruction is the gold standard for the treatment of recurrent shoulder instability with anterior-inferior glenoid bone loss, and return to sport is often a primary outcome of interest in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of return to sport in patients undergoing the Latarjet procedure and variables that are associated with a higher likelihood of a successful return to sport. METHODS A prospectively maintained institutional registry was retrospectively queried between August 2012 and August 2016 for all patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure. Patients were contacted electronically and via telephone to administer a previously validated and standardized return-to-sport survey. Patients self-reported return to sport, varying sports participation, recurrence of instability, and time to return to sport. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine variables associated with each outcome. RESULTS Of 83 patients, 66 (75.3%) were available for final follow-up, of whom 60 participated in sports prior to surgery and were eligible for inclusion. The average follow-up period was 53.8 ± 11.8 months. The average age at surgery was 26.7 ± 11.3 years, and the average body mass index was 26.2 ± 4.0 kg/m2. There were 54 patients (90%) who were able to return to sport at an average of 8.6 ± 4.1 months following surgery. In total, 36 patients (60%) were able to return to sport at the same level or a better level of intensity, 19 of 28 patients (67.9%) were able to return to throwing sports without difficulty, and 31 of 60 patients (51.7%) reported that their shoulder was a hindrance to some activity. An increased likelihood of returning to sport was associated with increased body mass index (P = .016), male sex (P = .028), and decreased humeral bone loss volume (P = .034). An increased likelihood of returning to sport at the same level or a better level of intensity was associated with reduced humeral bone loss volume (P = .026). Recurrent instability was associated with humeral bone loss (P = .038). CONCLUSION Although a large majority of patients were able to return to sport following the Latarjet procedure, some patients experienced limitation with throwing and return to sport at the preinjury level. Greater humeral bone loss was associated with inferior outcomes. These findings should be discussed with patients in the preoperative setting to manage expectations appropriately.

Abstract
The influence of the humeral inclination in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to determine outcomes and complications after RTSA with an inclination of 135° or 155° in a modular prosthesis. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), visual analog scale (VAS), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores, as well as forward elevation (FE), abduction (ABD), and external rotation (ER), were assessed after a minimum 2-year follow-up. Scapular notching and radiolucency were assessed according to Sirveaux and Lévigne. A total of 121 patients with a mean age of 69.7±7.3 years were evaluated after a mean of 36.5±8 months. The inclination was set to 135° in 80.2% and to 155° in 19.8% of patients. There was no significant difference between the groups for ASES, VAS, SANE, and SST scores. The FE (P=.022) and ABD (P=.002) were significantly higher for the 155° inclination group. Complication rates were not significantly different between the groups. Scapular notching was significantly more common with a 155° inclination (P=.01), whereas humeral radiolucency was not correlated. All outcome scores improved significantly from pre- to postoperative (P≤.001). Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty leads to significant improvements in pain, range of motion, and outcome scores after mid-term follow-up. Overall, the inclination angle does not significantly affect clinical outcomes or the complication rate after RTSA at mid-term follow-up. However, an inclination of 155° shows significantly greater FE and ABD, although it results in a significantly higher rate of scapular notching. Cases with scapular notching are associated with significantly reduced mean ASES scores and ER as well as significantly higher VAS scores. [Orthopedics. 2021;44(4):e527-e533.].

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the results, level of evidence, and methodologic quality of original studies regarding surgical mask effectiveness in minimizing viral respiratory illness transmission, and, in particular, the performance of the N95 respirator versus surgical mask. METHODS Meta-analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines with use of PubMed, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library databases. RESULTS Eight studies (9164 participants) were included after screening 153 articles. Analyses showed statistically significant differences between N95 respirator versus surgical mask use to prevent influenza-like-illness (risk ratio [RR] = 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.68-0.94, P < 0.05), non-influenza respiratory viral infection (RR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.52-0.74, P < 0.05), respiratory viral infection (RR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.65-0.82, P < 0.05), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 1 and 2 virus infection (RR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.06-0.49, P < 0.05), and laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection (RR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.66-0.84, P < 0.05). Analyses did not indicate statistically significant results against laboratory-confirmed influenza (RR = 0.87, CI = 0.74-1.03, P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS N95 respirator use was associated with fewer viral infectious episodes for healthcare workers compared with surgical masks. The N95 respirator was most effective in reducing the risk of a viral infection in the hospital setting from the SARS-CoV 1 and 2 viruses compared to the other viruses included in this investigation. Methodologic quality, risk of biases, and small number of original studies indicate the necessity for further research to be performed, especially in front-line healthcare delivery settings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate long-term patient-reported outcomes and revision surgery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with or without acromioplasty. METHODS Between 2007 and 2011, prospectively enrolled patients undergoing arthroscopic repair for full-thickness rotator cuff tears, with any acromial morphology, were randomized into either acromioplasty or nonacromioplasty groups. Patients with revision surgery, subscapularis involvement, advanced neurologic conditions, or death were excluded. Baseline and long-term follow-up questionnaires, including the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, and Constant scores were obtained. Rates of symptomatic retear, revision rotator cuff surgery, or secondary reoperation were recorded. Averages with standard deviation were calculated, and t-tests were used to compare outcomes of interest between cohorts. RESULTS In total, 69 of 90 patients (76.7%) were available at 92.4 months (± 10.5). There were 23 of 32 patients in the acromioplasty cohort and 24 of 37 patients in the nonacromioplasty cohort. Mean age for the nonacromioplasty cohort was 56.9 (± 7.6) years, whereas acromioplasty was 59.6 (± 6.8) years. Comparison of baseline demographics and intraoperative information revealed no significant differences, including age, sex, Workers' Compensation, acute mechanism of injury, tear size, degree of retraction, and surgical technique (e.g., single- vs. double-row). At final follow-up, there were no statistically significant differences according to ASES (P = .33), VAS pain (P = 0.79), Constant (P = .17), SST (P = .05), UCLA (P = .19), and Short Form-12 (SF-12) (P = .79) in patients with and without acromioplasty. Two patients with acromioplasty (5.6%) and 3 patients without acromioplasty (9.1%) sustained atraumatic recurrent rotator cuff tear with secondary repair (P = .99), and there was no significant difference in retear rates or patient-reported outcome measures by acromial morphology. CONCLUSIONS This randomized trial, with mean 7.5-year follow-up, found no difference in validated patient-reported outcomes, retear rate, or revision surgery rate between patients undergoing rotator cuff repair with or without acromioplasty. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II, prospective randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine the threshold for achieving maximal outcome improvement (MOI) on the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and Constant-Murley (CM) questionnaires that predict satisfaction after isolated biceps tenodesis without concomitant rotator cuff repair. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed for patients undergoing isolated biceps tenodesis from 2014 to 2017 at a single institution with minimum 6-month follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine thresholds for MOI for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires. Stepwise multivariate logistical regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for achieving the threshold for MOI. A total of 123 patients were included in the final analysis. Receiver operating characteristic analysis determined that achieving 43.1%, 62.1%, and 61.4% MOI was the threshold for satisfaction for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires, respectively. Regression analysis showed that concomitant superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) repair was predictive of achieving MOI on the ASES and SANE questionnaires, whereas partial rotator cuff tear was predictive of achieving MOI on the CM questionnaire (P<.05 for both). Further, workers' compensation status, diabetes, history of ipsilateral shoulder surgery, and hypertension were negative predictors of achieving MOI on the SANE and CM questionnaires (P<.05 for all). Achieving MOI of 43.1%, 62.1%, and 61.4% is the threshold for satisfaction after biceps tenodesis for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires, respectively. Concomitant SLAP repair was positively predictive of achieving MOI, whereas workers' compensation status, diabetes, history of ipsilateral shoulder surgery, and hypertension were negative predictors.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare scapulohumeral coordination used before and after Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA) during the ascent phase of scapular plane arm elevation tasks performed with varied shoulder rotations (neutral, external rotation, and internal rotation). We expected that after RTSA, participants would decrease scapulothoracic upward rotation angular displacement and increase the scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) vs. before RTSA. 11 RTSA patients (12 shoulders) participated in this study before and after RTSA while optical motion capture measured kinematics of the humerus and scapula relative to the thorax. Angular kinematics were compared pre vs. post-RTSA within-participant using One Dimensional Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) t-tests (α = 0.05) and across-participants, using paired t-tests (α = 0.05) adjusted for multiple comparisons. As a group, during arm elevation with neutral rotation, the mean (SD) SHR pre-RTSA was 1.5 (0.5) and increased to 1.7 (0.3) post-RTSA, though, not significantly (p = 0.182). In contrast, during arm elevation with external rotation, the mean (SD) SHR pre-RTSA was 1.3 (0.4) and significantly increased (p = 0.018) post-RTSA to 1.7 (0.3). Likewise, during arm elevation with internal rotation, the mean (SD) SHR pre-RTSA was 1.2 (0.3) and significantly increased (p < 0.001) post-RTSA to 1.7 (0.2). In addition to these and other group trends, participant-specific patterns were uncovered through SPM analyses - with some participants significantly increasing and others significantly decreasing scapulothoracic angular displacements across humerothoracic elevation ranges. Both before and after RTSA, scapulohumeral rhythm ratios were within the range of those previously reported in post-RTSA patients and were smaller than those used by healthy populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Latarjet procedure is an effective procedure for the treatment of anterior glenohumeral joint instability; however, the complications are concerning. The purpose of this study was to review a single institution's experience with the Latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability specifically focusing on early complications. METHODS This was a retrospective review of all Latarjet procedures performed at a single institution from August 2008 to July 2018. The 90-day complication rate and associated risk factors for all complications and graft failure were recorded. Postoperative radiographs were reviewed for coracoid graft position and screw divergence. RESULTS During the study period, 190 Latarjet procedures were performed with 90-day follow-up. The average age was 28.7 ± 11.3 years, male patients comprised 84.2% of the population, and 62.6% of patients had undergone a prior stabilization procedure. We observed 15 complications, for a 90-day complication rate of 9.0%; of the patients, 8 (4.2%) underwent reoperations. Graft or hardware failure occurred in 9 patients (4.7%) with loosened or broken screws, and 6 required reoperations (revision Latarjet procedure in 4, distal tibia allograft in 1, and iliac crest autograft in 1). Fixation with only 1 screw (P < .001) and an increased screw divergence angle (37° ± 8° vs. 24° ± 11°, P = .0257) were statistically associated with graft failure, whereas the use of cannulated screws (P = .487) was not. There were 6 nerve injuries (3.2%), including 2 combined axillary and suprascapular nerve injuries, 1 musculocutaneous nerve injury, 1 brachial plexopathy, 1 peripheral sensory nerve deficit (likely axillary), and 1 sensory plexopathy. Suprascapular nerve injury at the spinoglenoid notch was associated with a longer superior screw (41.0 ± 1.4 mm vs. 33.5 ± 3.5 mm, P = .035) and increased screw divergence angle (40° ± 6° vs. 24° ± 11°, P = .0197). The coracoid graft was correctly positioned in the axial plane in 71% of cases and in the coronal plane in 73% of cases. CONCLUSION The Latarjet procedure is a procedure that can reliably restore shoulder stability; however, graft- and nerve-related complications are relatively common. Two-thirds of the graft failures required reoperations, and half of the nerve injuries in this study led to residual symptoms. Fixation with only 1 screw and an increased screw divergence angle were significant predictors of graft failure. Suprascapular nerve injury at the spinoglenoid notch was associated with an increased screw divergence angle and longer superior screw.

Abstract
Background Nearly all studies describing shoulder stabilization focus on male patients. Little is known regarding the clinical outcomes of female patients undergoing shoulder stabilization, and even less is understood about females with glenoid bone loss. Purpose To assess the clinical outcomes of female patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability treated with the Latarjet procedure. Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods All cases of female patients who had recurrent anterior shoulder instability with ≥15% anterior glenoid bone loss and underwent the Latarjet procedure were analyzed. Patients were evaluated after a minimum 2-year postoperative period with scores of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons form, Simple Shoulder Test, and pain visual analog scale. Results Of the 22 patients who met our criteria, 5 (22.7%) were lost to follow-up, leaving 17 (77.2%) available for follow-up with a mean ± SD age of 31.7 ± 12.9 years. Among these patients, 16 (94.1%) underwent 1.6 ± 0.73 ipsilateral shoulder operations (range, 1-3) before undergoing the Latarjet procedure. Preoperative indications for surgery included recurrent instability with bone loss in all cases. After a mean follow-up of 40.2 ± 22.9 months, patients experienced significant score improvements in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons form, Simple Shoulder Test, and pain visual analog scale (P < .05 for all). There were 2 reoperations (11.8%). There were no cases of neurovascular injuries or other complications. Conclusion Female patients with recurrent shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss can be successfully treated with the Latarjet procedure, with outcomes similar to those of male patients in the previously published literature. This information can be used to counsel female patients with recurrent instability with significant anterior glenoid bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the effect of 3-dimensional (3D) planning for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) on component positioning and patient outcomes has been increasingly studied, the effect of 3D planning on surgeon decision making has not been well studied. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of a database containing TSA cases for which the glenoid component was planned with a commercially available 3D computed tomography software program (Virtual Implant Positioning; Arthrex, Inc.) from 2016 to 2019. A total of 6483 cases planned by 417 surgeons were included. The glenoid version (Vtech) and inclination (Itech) of the Virtual Implant Positioning technician plan as well as the surgeon's final plan for version (Vsurg) and inclination (Isurg) were extracted. When the version and/or inclination of the surgeon plan matched that of the technician, that variable was defined as "accepted." The rates of acceptance of Vtech and Itech were calculated and analyzed for association with implant type, native version and inclination, and running case count. A subgroup analysis of high-volume users (n > 30 cases) was analyzed to determine if any of the variables independently was associated with surgeon acceptance. RESULTS There was a very high rate of matching of version (66%), inclination (72%), or both (55%) and a low rate (18%) where neither parameter of the glenoid plan matched that of the technician. In univariate analysis, as the case count and retroversion increased the rate of accepting of version dropped noticeably (70%-50% and 47%, respectively [ P< .0001]). The rate of accepting the plan for inclination did not vary much as case count changed. In the multivariate analysis, 23 of 56 high-volume surgeons had at least 1 independent factor associated with accepting the technician-planned glenoid version, and 5 surgeons had 2 independent factors. In the multivariate analysis of matching glenoid inclination, 27 of 56 high-volume surgeons had at least 1 independent factor associated with accepting the technician-planned glenoid version, and 9 surgeons had 2 or more independent factors. CONCLUSIONS In a large database of TSAs with 3D-planned glenoids, there were high rates of cases with surgeon agreement with an initial plan provided by an industry technician: 66% in version, 72% in inclination, 55% for both version and inclination. Surgeon acceptance of the initial plan decreased as pathoanatomy increased and case count increased. Shoulder surgeons should be aware that an initial 3D preoperative plan provided by industry represents a potential source of cognitive bias in shoulder arthroplasty planning.

Abstract
Sex and gender are not the same. Sex is defined by the human genotype and pertains to biologic differences between males and females. Gender is a fluid concept molded by self-perception, social constructs, and culturally laden attitudes and expectations of men and women.
In general, males have longer limb levers, stronger bones, greater muscle mass and strength, and greater aerobic capacity. Females exhibit less muscle fatigability and faster recovery during endurance exercise. Physiologic sex-based differences have led to an average performance gap of 10% that has remained stable since the 1980s. The performance disparity is lowest for swimming and highest for track and field events. The International Olympic Committee currently mandates that female athletes with differences of sex development, or intersex traits, and transgender female athletes must limit their blood testosterone to <10 nmol/L for 12 months to be eligible for competition in the female classification.

Abstract
Superior labrum, anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions are common and identified in up to 26% of shoulder arthroscopies, with the greatest risk factor appearing to be overhead sporting activities. Symptomatic patients are treated with physical therapy and activity modification. However, after the failure of non-operative measures or when activity modification is precluded by athletic demands, SLAP tears have been managed with debridement, repair, biceps tenodesis or biceps tenotomy. Recently, there have been noticeable trends in the operative management of SLAP lesions with older patients receiving biceps tenodesis and younger patients undergoing SLAP repair, largely with suture anchors. For overhead athletes, particularly baseball players, SLAP lesions remain a difficult pathology to manage secondary to concomitant pathologies and unpredictable rates of return to play. As a consequence, the most appropriate surgical option in elite throwers is controversial. The objective of this current concepts review is to discuss the anatomy, mechanism of injury, presentation, diagnosis and treatment options of SLAP lesions and to present current literature on outcomes affecting return to sport and work.

Abstract
Background Latarjet has become a common treatment option for patients with shoulder instability in the setting of bone loss. The coracoid is commonly secured with screws Methods All patients who underwent Latarjet with suture-button fixation with minimum 1-year follow-up were eligible for inclusion. Preoperative demographic and clinical outcome data including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were recorded and compared with postoperative scores. Radiographs were reviewed for signs of nonunion. Complications were recorded. Results Overall 21 patients (76% male, average age: 30.4 ± 11.3 years) underwent Latarjet with suture-button fixation. Significant improvements at 1 year were seen in ASES (P < 0.001), SANE (P < 0.001), and VAS (P = 0.011) scores compared with preoperative scores. Of the 21 patients who had reached 1-year follow-up, 17 (81%) reached 2-year follow-up. For the 17 patients who reached 2-year follow-up, there were significant improvements in ASES (P = 0.001), SANE (P = 0.001), and VAS (P = 0.005) scores from preoperative values. When isolating the 17 patients with 2-year follow-up, there were no significant differences between their 1-year and 2-year ASES (P = 0.73), SANE (P = 0.17), and VAS (P = 0.37) scores. Overall, 3 patients (14%) sustained a complication (one redislocation, one with coracoid migration and a fibrous union, and one superior labral tear requiring biceps tenodesis and superior labral repair). Conclusion Suture-button fixation of the coracoid during the Latarjet provides encouraging clinical and radiographic outcomes at 1 and 2 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidity indices such as the 5-factor modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) and modified Charlson Comorbidity Index (mCCI) are widely used in outcomes research. METHODS A total of 3893 patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty (n=975), hemiarthroplasty (n=495), or open reduction and internal fixation (n=2423) for the treatment of proximal humerus fracture from 2005-2017 were identified from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Data regarding demographics, comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and postoperative complications were collected, and the mFI-5 and mCCI were calculated for each case. Multivariate logistic regression models and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed. RESULTS The patient population had a mean age of 68.0 ± 13.2 years, body mass index of 29.1 ± 8.1 and mean operative time of 119.9 ± 55.5 minutes. The most common complications within this cohort were extended length of stay (4 days or more) (1085/3893; 27.87%), transfusion (377/3893; 9.68%), unplanned reoperation (97/3893; 2.49%), urinary tract infection (43/3893; 1.10%), death (42/3893; 1.08%), and deep vein thrombosis (40/3893; 1.03%). After accounting for patient demographics, the mFI-5 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.105, P < .001) and mCCI (OR = 1.063, P < .001) were significantly associated with incidence of any adverse event. Both comorbidity indices had low positive predictive value and high negative predictive value for all adverse events. CONCLUSION The comorbidity indices mCCI and mFI-5 are both strongly associated with adverse events but have moderate ability to predict complications following surgical treatment of proximal humerus fractures.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify demographic, clinical, and radiographic factors associated with failure after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR). METHODS Prospectively collected data were analyzed from patients who underwent SCR using a decellularized dermal allograft for an irreparable rotator cuff tear. Demographic characteristics, radiographic findings, concomitant procedures, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were recorded. Failure was defined by ≥1 of the following criteria: (1) conversion to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), (2) a decrease in 1-year postoperative shoulder-specific PROs compared with preoperative scores, or (3) patient reports at final follow-up that the shoulder was in a worse condition than before surgery. Preoperative variables were compared between patients meeting the criteria for clinical failure and those who did not. RESULTS Fifty-four patients (mean age 56.3 ± 5.8 years, range 45 to 70) who underwent SCR, with minimum 1-year follow-up, were included in the analysis. Mean follow-up after surgery was 24 months (range 12 to 53). Eleven patients (20.4%) met criteria for clinical failure. Of the 11, 8 reported decreased American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) or Constant scores or indicated that the operative shoulder was in a worse condition than before surgery. Three patients underwent RTSA in the 6 to 12 months after SCR. Female sex and the presence of a subscapularis tear were associated with failure (P = .023 and P = .029, respectively). A trend toward greater body mass index (BMI), lower preoperative forward flexion, and lower preoperative acromiohumeral distance (AHD) was found in patients with clinical failure (P = .075, P = .088, and P = .081, respectively). No other variable included in the analysis was significantly associated with failure. CONCLUSION The proportions of female patients and those with subscapularis tear were greater among patients with clinical failure after SCR. Greater BMI, lower preoperative forward flexion, and lower preoperative AHD trended toward association with clinical failure of SCR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4, case series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative planning with commercially available imaging software in shoulder arthroplasty may allow for improved decision-making and more accurate placement of the glenoid component. METHODS A total of 81 consecutive shoulder computed tomography scans obtained for preoperative planning purposes for shoulder arthroplasty were analyzed by commercially available software from 4 companies (Blueprint: Wright Medical, Memphis, TN, USA; GPS: Exactech, Gainesville, FL, USA; Materialise: DJO, Vista, CA, USA; and VIP: Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) and by 5 fellowship-trained sports medicine/shoulder surgeons. Inclination, version, and subluxation of the humerus were measured in a blinded fashion on axial and coronal sequences at the mid-glenoid. Surgeon measurements were analyzed for agreement and were compared with the 4 commercial programs. RESULTS Surgeon reliability was acceptable for version (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]: 0.876), inclination (ICC: 0.84), and subluxation (ICC: 0.523). Significant differences were found between surgeon and commercial software measurements in version (P = .03), inclination (P = .023), and subluxation (P < .001). Software measurements tended to be more superiorly inclined (average -2° to 2° greater), more retroverted (average 2°-5° greater), and more posteriorly subluxed (average 7°-10° greater) than surgeon measurements. In comparing imaging software measurements, only Blueprint was found to produce significantly different version measurements than surgeon measurements (P = .02). CONCLUSION Preoperative planning software for shoulder arthroplasty has limited agreement in measures of version, inclination, and subluxation measurements, whereas surgeons have high inter-reliability. Surgeons should be cautious when using commercial software planning systems and when comparing publications that use different planning systems to determine preoperative glenoid deformity measurements.

Abstract
Background: Little is known about the clinical indications of performing a revision
distal biceps tendon repair/reconstruction, and there is even less data
available on the clinical outcomes of patients after revision surgery. Purpose: To determine the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing revision distal
biceps tendon repair/reconstruction and evaluate the causes of primary
repair failure. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing ipsilateral
primary and revision distal biceps tendon repair/reconstruction at a single
institution. Between 2011 and 2016, a total of 277 patients underwent distal
biceps tendon repair, with 8 patients requiring revision surgery. Patient
characteristics, surgical technique, and patient-reported outcome scores
(shortened version of Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand [QuickDASH],
12-Item Short Form Health Survey [SF-12], visual analog scale [VAS] for
pain, and Mayo Elbow Performance Score [MEPS]), were assessed. Complications
as well as indications for reoperation after primary and revision surgery
were examined. Results: The overall revision rate was 2.9%. The number of single- and double-incision
techniques utilized were similar among the primary repairs (50%
single-incision, 50% double-incision) and revision repairs/reconstructions
(62.5% single-incision, 37.5% double-incision). Reasons for reoperation
included continued pain and weakness (n = 7), limited range of motion (n =
2), and acute traumatic re-rupture (n = 1). The median duration between
primary and revision surgery was 9.5 months (interquartile range [IQR],
5.8-12.8 months). Intraoperatively, the most common finding during revision
was a partially ruptured, fibrotic distal tendon with extensive adhesions.
At a median of 33.7 months after revision surgery (IQR, 21.7-40.7 months),
the median QuickDASH was 12.5 (IQR, 1.7-23.3), MEPS was 92.5 (IQR,
80.0-100), SF-12 mental component measure was 53.4 (IQR, 47.6-58.2), SF-12
physical component measure was 52.1 (IQR, 36.9-55.4), and VAS for elbow pain
was 1.0 (IQR, 0-2.0). Revision surgery had a complication rate of 37.5% (3
of 8 patients), consisting of persistent pain and weakness (2 patients; 25%)
and numbness over the dorsal radial sensory nerve (1 patient; 12.5%). Two
patients required reoperation (25% reoperation rate). Conclusion: The overall revision distal biceps repair/reconstruction rate was
approximately 3%. While patients undergoing revision distal biceps repair
demonstrated improved outcomes after revision surgery, these outcomes
remained inferior to previously reported outcomes of patients undergoing
only primary distal biceps repair.

Abstract
Anterior glenohumeral instability remains a common clinical problem in the athletic and working patient populations, and further, recurrence rates following stabilization surgery continue to be problematic. Over the past 5 years, there have been substantial improvements in the understanding of anterior shoulder instability. To better counsel and treat patients, it is imperative for surgeons to have a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology of shoulder instability, the anatomy of the glenohumeral joint particularly as it relates to glenoid and humeral head bone loss, surgical indications, and surgical techniques. These critical topics are summarized in an effort to provide a complete guide to managing anterior shoulder instability in 2020.

Abstract
Background: Citation counts have often been used as a surrogate for the scholarly impact of a particular study, but they do not necessarily correlate with higher-quality investigations. In recent decades, much of the literature regarding shoulder instability is focused on surgical techniques to correct bone loss and prevent recurrence. Purpose: To determine (1) the top 50 most cited articles in shoulder instability and (2) if there is a correlation between the number of citations and level of evidence or methodological quality. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A literature search was performed on both the Scopus and the Web of Science databases to determine the top 50 most cited articles in shoulder instability between 1985 and 2019. The search terms used included “shoulder instability,” “humeral defect,” and “glenoid bone loss.” Methodological scores were calculated using the Modified Coleman Methodology Score (MCMS), Jadad scale, and Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) score. Results: The mean number of citations and mean citation density were 222.7 ± 123.5 (range, 124-881.5) and 16.0 ± 7.9 (range, 6.9-49.0), respectively. The most common type of study represented was the retrospective case series (evidence level, 4; n = 16; 32%) The overall mean MCMS, Jadad score, and MINORS score were 61.1 ± 10.1, 1.4 ± 0.9, and 16.0 ± 3.0, respectively. There were also no correlations found between mean citations or citation density versus each of the methodological quality scores. Conclusion: The list of top 50 most cited articles in shoulder instability comprised studies with low-level evidence and low methodological quality. Higher-quality study methodology does not appear to be a significant factor in whether studies are frequently cited in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent literature has focused on correlating statistically significant changes in outcome measures with clinically significant outcomes (CSOs). CSO benchmarks are being established for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR), but more remains to be defined about them. PURPOSE To define the time-dependent nature of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and Patient Acceptable Symptomatic State (PASS) after RCR and to define what factors affect this time to CSO achievement. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS An institutional registry was queried for patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR between 2014 and 2016 and completed preoperative, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Threshold values for MCID, SCB, and PASS were obtained from previous literature for the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and subjective Constant score. The time in which patients achieved MCID, SCB, and PASS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. A Cox multivariate regression model was used to identify variables correlated with earlier or later achievement of CSOs. RESULTS A total of 203 patients with an average age of 56.19 ± 9.96 years and average body mass index was 30.29 ± 6.49 were included. The time of mean achievement of MCID, SCB, and PASS for ASES was 5.77 ± 1.79 months, 6.22 ± 2.85 months, and 7.23 ± 3.81 months, respectively. The time of mean achievement of MCID, SCB, and PASS for SANE was 6.25 ± 2.42 months, 7.05 ± 4.10 months, and 9.26 ± 5.89 months, respectively. The time of mean achievement of MCID, SCB, and PASS for Constant was 6.94 ± 3.85 months, 7.13 ± 4.13 months, and 8.66 ± 5.46 months, respectively. Patients with dominant-sided surgery (hazard ratio [HR], 1.363; 95% CI, 1.065-1.745; P = .014) achieved CSOs earlier on ASES, while patients with workers' compensation status (HR, 0.752; 95% CI, 0.592-0.955; P = .019), who were current smokers (HR, 0.323; 95% CI, 0.119-0.882; P = .028), and with concomitant biceps tenodesis (HR, 0.763; 95% CI, 0.607-0.959; P = .021) achieved CSOs on ASES at later timepoints. Patients with distal clavicle excision (HR, 1.484; 95% CI, 1.028-2.143; P = .035) achieved CSOs earlier on SANE. Patients with distal clavicle excision (HR, 1.689; 95% CI, 1.183-2.411, P = .004) achieved CSOs earlier on Constant, while patients with workers' compensation insurance status (HR, 0.671; 95% CI, 0.506-0.891; P = .006) and partial-thickness tears (HR, 0.410; 95% CI, 0.250-0.671; P < .001) achieved CSOs later on Constant. Greater preoperative score was associated with delayed achievement of CSOs for ASES, SANE (HR, 0.993; 95% CI, 0.987-0.999; P = .020), and Constant (HR, 0.941; 95% CI, 0.928-0.962; P < .001). CONCLUSION A majority of patients achieved MCID by 6 months after surgery. Dominant-sided surgery and concomitant distal clavicle excision resulted in faster CSO achievement, while workers' compensation status, concomitant biceps tenodesis, current smoking, partial-thickness rotator cuff tears, and higher preoperative PROMs resulted in delayed CSO achievement.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effect of acromioplasty using a cutting block technique on bony coverage as measured by the critical shoulder angle (CSA) and acromial index (AI). Methods This study is a retrospective radiographic review using data from a previous prospective randomized clinical trial that offered enrollment to patients aged 18 years or older with a full-thickness tear of the superior rotator cuff between October 2007 and January 2011. Each patient was allocated to repair with either acromioplasty using a cutting block technique or non-acromioplasty treatment arms in a blinded fashion. Medical and demographic information was recorded for each patient. Between January 2017 and December 2017, patients were contacted for repeat follow-up clinical evaluation and radiographs. Measurements of acromial index and critical shoulder angle were performed on pre- and postoperative radiographs by a single reviewer. Results Seventy-one (75%) patients were available for follow up. The 2 groups were similar in terms of baseline demographics and acromial type. When compared with preoperative measures, acromioplasty did not result in significant reductions in mean CSA (34.5° vs 35.5°; P = .293) or AI (0.68 vs 0.66; P = .283). Furthermore, postoperative CSA (34.5° vs 36.2°, P = .052) and AI (0.66 vs 0.67, P = .535) demonstrated no statistically significant differences between patients with and without acromioplasty, respectively. Conclusions There was no statistically significant change in either the CSA or AI following acromioplasty, nor was there a significant postoperative difference in CSA or AI between the group that underwent acromioplasty and the group that did not. Clinical Relevance Some studies suggest a greater postoperative CSA may result in greater risk of retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The CSA and AI may not be modifiable with acromioplasty.

Abstract
Although patient-reported outcome measures use objective evaluations of impairment to focus on subjective responses, these measures may not necessarily reflect patient satisfaction with the outcome or the care provided. The goal of this study was to systematically review the available literature to assess patient satisfaction after total shoulder arthroplasty. Two investigators systematically reviewed the MEDLINE database for articles on satisfaction after this procedure. This study included 47 articles. The most commonly used method for assessing satisfaction was an ordinal scale (27 studies, 57.4%). Of the studies, 27 (57.5%) differentiated between patient satisfaction with the care provided and with the outcome achieved. Reported satisfaction rates after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty ranged from 75% to 100%. For the included studies, increasing age, workers' compensation status, depression, opioid use, and visual analog scale pain score were the only preoperative factors that were significantly associated with worse postoperative satisfaction. Postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Simple Shoulder Test score, Subjective Shoulder Value score, Short Form-36 mental component score, range of motion, visual analog scale pain score, and ability to perform activities of daily living showed a significant association with postoperative satisfaction. Studies of satisfaction after total shoulder arthroplasty are of low evidence levels. Although overall patient satisfaction is high, there is no standardized method for measuring satisfaction. For the identified studies, the most common assessment method was an ordinal scale that consists of qualitative values representing increasing levels of satisfaction. Orthopedic surgeons are increasingly expected to demonstrate the value of procedures, and a uniform and validated method of assessing patient satisfaction is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The Arthrex Eclipse shoulder prosthesis is a stemless, canal-sparing humeral prosthesis with bone ingrowth capacity on the trunnion, as well as through the fenestrated hollow screw, that provides both diaphyseal and metaphyseal load sharing and fixation. METHODS Between 2013 and 2018, 16 sites in the United States enrolled 327 patients (Eclipse in 237 and Arthrex Univers II in 90). All patients had glenohumeral arthritis refractory to nonsurgical care. Strict exclusion criteria were applied to avoid confounding factors such as severe patient comorbidities, arthritis not consistent with osteoarthritis, and medical or prior surgical treatments that may have affected outcomes. Patients were randomized to the Eclipse or Univers II group via block randomization. RESULTS In total, 149 Eclipse and 76 Univers II patients reached 2-year follow-up (139 Eclipse patients [93.3%] and 68 Univers II patients [89.5%] had complete data). The success rate using the Composite Clinical Success score was 95% in the Eclipse group vs. 89.7% in the Univers II group. No patient exhibited radiographic evidence of substantial humeral radiolucency, humeral migration, or subsidence at any point. Reoperations were performed in 7 patients (3.2%) in the Eclipse group and 3 (3.8%) in the Univers II group. CONCLUSION The Arthrex Eclipse shoulder prosthesis is a safe and effective humeral implant for patients with glenohumeral arthritis at 2-year follow-up, with no differences in outcomes compared with the Univers II shoulder prosthesis.

Abstract
The treatment of massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears presents a substantial challenge to health-care professionals. Treatment options range from nonoperative to operative, including debridement, partial repair, biceps tenotomy, bridging patch grafts, muscle transfers, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. However, the results of such treatments are often mixed, and many carry a substantial risk of complications. Superior capsular reconstruction has been described as a surgical alternative to the aforementioned procedures. Superior capsular reconstruction is a technique that provides an anatomic reconstruction of the superior capsule of the glenohumeral joint, with the goal of restoring the normal restraint to superior translation that is lost with a deficient superior rotator cuff. The technique described in the present article highlights the pearls and pitfalls learned over the last several years of performing arthroscopic reconstruction of the superior capsule with dermal allograft.

Abstract
All-polyethylene glenoid components designed for osseous integration of the central peg can be placed with no graft (NG), autogenous bone graft (ABG), or demineralized bone matrix (DBM). The purpose of this study was to compare osseous integration with these 3 techniques. A randomized controlled trial was performed of 153 total shoulder arthroplasties using a pegged allpolyethylene glenoid component designed for osseous integration. Central peg treatment included NG, ABG, or DBM. The primary outcome was central peg osseous integration defined as bone presence between the central fins 1 year postoperatively. Central osseous integration was observed in 90% of cases treated with ABG, 68% of cases treated with DBM, and 68% of cases treated with NG (P=.022). Postoperative Wirth grading revealed radiolucency around the central peg (grade 1) in 2.4% of cases with ABG, 5.4% of cases with DBM, and 9.8% of cases with NG (P=.134). At short-term follow-up, osseous integration of the central peg of an all-polyethylene glenoid designed for bony growth between the central fins appears to be highest when treating the central peg with ABG compared with leaving the central peg untreated or using DBM.

Abstract
Background Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an effective treatment option for glenohumeral arthritis. Historically, this surgical procedure was performed on an inpatient basis. There has been a recent trend in performing TSA on an outpatient basis in the proper candidates. Methods All patients who underwent outpatient TSA performed by a single surgeon between 2015 and 2017 were included. Demographic information and clinical outcome scores, as well as data on complications, readmissions, and revision surgical procedures, were recorded. This group of patients was then compared with a matched cohort of patients who underwent inpatient TSA over the same period. Results Overall, 94 patients (average age, 60.4 years; 67.0% male patients) underwent outpatient TSA and were included. Patients who underwent outpatient TSA showed significant improvement in all clinical outcome scores at both 1 and 2 years postoperatively. The control group consisted of 77 patients who underwent inpatient TSA (average age, 62.6 years; 53.2% male patients). No significant differences in complications or improvements in clinical outcome scores were found between the inpatient and outpatient groups. Conclusion TSA performed in an outpatient setting is a safe and reliable procedure that provides significant improvement in clinical outcome scores and no difference in complication rates compared with inpatient TSA.
