Management of failed metal-backed glenoid component in patients with bilateral total shoulder arthroplasty
Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is successful in providing pain relief and functional improvements for patients with shoulder arthritis. Outcomes are directly correlated with implant position and fixation, which ultimately affects wear and longevity. Metal-backed glenoid components were introduced as an alternative to the standard...
Pathophysiology and biomechanics of glenohumeral instability
IntroductIon Hippocrates was the first to investigate the pathophysiology of the unstable shoulder (anterior instability and treatment) over 1,000 years ago. Early investigations attributed instability to traumatic events or congenital shoulder abnormalities. The capsuloligamentous complex of the glenohumeral joint was first described in 1829 as consisting of the superior, middle, and inferior glenohumeral ligaments.
Recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder associated with full-thickness rotator cuff tear
Introduction Full-thickness rotator cuff tears associated with anterior glenohumeral instability are rare in patients younger than 40 Years.
Management of Shoulder Instability in the Skeletally Immature Patient
Several studies have focused on management of shoulder instability in the adolescent and young adult population. However, a paucity of literature exists regarding shoulder dislocation in the skeletally immature population. The presence of an open physis makes the dislocated pediatric shoulder a challenging clinical...

Effects of glenosphere positioning on impingement-free internal and external rotation after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
Introduction: Patients may experience a loss of internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). We hypothesized that alterations in the glenosphere position will affect the amount of impingement-free IR and ER. Materials and methods: Computed tomography (CT) scans of the...
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation after Rotator Cuff Repai: A Review of Current Concepts
Rotator cuff pathology can contribute to shoulder pain, weakness, and limitations to both activities and work. Surgical repair via open or arthroscopic techniques is associated with improved function and patient satisfaction. Success of repair depends on several factors that include patient age, tear size, type of fixation,
Functional Outcome After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in the Obese Patient Population: A Prospective Study with Greater Than 2 Years of Follow-Up
Background: Obesity is increasingly prevalent in the United States. There are several reports of outcomes in obese patients after total knee or hip replacement. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes and complications of obese patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty with those of overweight or normal-weight patients
The epidemiology of single season musculoskeletal injuries in professional baseball
The aim of this descriptive epidemiology study was to evaluate the injury incidence, pattern and type as a function of position in one professional baseball organization for one complete season. The study was carried out in a major academic center. Participants were all major/minor league baseball players playing for one...
