RESUMO
PURPOSE: To establish minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) values for 4 patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients undergoing arthroscopic massive rotator cuff repair (aMRCR): American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), Veterans Rand-12 (VR-12) score, and the visual analog scale (VAS) pain. In addition, our study seeks to determine preoperative factors associated with achieving clinically significant improvement as defined by the MCID and PASS. METHODS: A retrospective review at 2 institutions was performed to identify patients undergoing aMRCR with minimum 4-year follow-up. Data collected at the 1-year, 2-year, and 4-year time points included patient characteristics (age, sex, length of follow-up, tobacco use, and workers' compensation status), radiologic parameters (Goutallier fatty infiltration and modified Collin tear pattern), and 4 PRO measures (collected preoperatively and postoperatively): ASES score, SSV, VR-12 score, and VAS pain. The MCID and PASS for each outcome measure were calculated using the distribution-based method and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, respectively. Pearson and Spearman coefficient analyses were used to determine correlations between preoperative variables and MCID or PASS thresholds. RESULTS: A total of 101 patients with a mean follow-up of 64 months were included in the study. The MCID and PASS values at the 4-year follow-up for ASES were 14.5 and 69.4, respectively; for SSV, 13.7 and 81.5; for VR-12, 6.6 and 40.3; and for VAS pain, 1.3 and 1.2. Greater infraspinatus fatty infiltration was associated with failing to reach clinically significant values. CONCLUSIONS: This study defined MCID and PASS values for commonly used outcome measures in patients undergoing aMRCR at the 1-year, 2-year, and 4-year follow-up. At mid-term follow-up, greater preoperative rotator cuff disease severity was associated with failure to achieve clinically significant outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

BACKGROUND: Glenoid-sided lateralization in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) decreases bony impingement and improves rotational range of motion, but has been theorized to increase the risk of acromial or scapular spine fractures (ASFs). The purpose of this study was to assess if glenoid-sided lateralization even up to 8 mm increases the risk for stress fracture following RSA with a 135° inlay humeral component. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed from a multicenter prospectively collected database on patients who underwent primary RSA from 2015 to 2021. All RSAs were performed with a 135° inlay humeral component. Varying amounts of glenoid lateralization were used from 0 to 8 mm. Preoperative radiographs were reviewed for the presence of acromial thinning, acromiohumeral distance (AHD), and inclination. Postoperative implant position (distalization, lateralization, and inclination) as well as the presence of ASF was evaluated on minimum 1-year postoperative radiographs. Regression analyses were performed on component and clinical variables to assess for factors predictive of ASF. RESULTS: Acromial or scapular spine fractures were identified in 26 of 470 shoulders (5.5%). Glenoid-sided lateralization was not associated with ASF risk (P = .890). Furthermore, the incidence of fracture did not vary based on glenoid-sided lateralization (0-2 mm, 7.4%; 4 mm, 5.6%; 6 mm, 4.4%; 8 mm, 6.0%; P > .05 for all comparisons). RSA on the dominant extremity was predictive of fracture (odds ratio [OR] 2.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-5.75; P = .037), but there was no relationship between patient age, sex, preoperative acromial thinning, or diagnosis and risk of fracture. Although there was no difference in mean postoperative AHD between groups (P = .443), the pre- to postoperative delta AHD was higher in the stress fracture group (2.0 ± 0.7 cm vs. 1.7 ± 0.7 cm; P = .015). For every centimeter increase in delta AHD, there was a 121% increased risk for fracture (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.33-3.68; P = .012). Additionally, for every 1-mm increase in inferior glenosphere overhang, there was a 19% increase in fracture risk (P = .025). CONCLUSION: Up to 8 mm of glenoid-sided metallic lateralization does not appear to increase the risk of ASF when combined with a 135° inlay humeral implant. Humeral distalization increases the risk of ASF, particularly when there is a larger change between pre- and postoperative AHD or higher inferior glenosphere overhang. In cases of pronounced preoperative superior humeral migration, it may be a consideration to avoid excessive postoperative distalization, but minimizing bony impingement via glenoid-sided lateralization appears to be safe.

BACKGROUND: The primary purpose of this study was to compare 2-year anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) functional and radiographic outcomes between Walch type A and B glenoids treated with an all-polyethylene glenoid designed for hybrid fixation with peripheral cement and central osseous integration. The secondary purpose was to evaluate outcomes based on central peg technique. The hypotheses were that there would be no difference in short-term radiographic or functional outcome scores based on preoperative glenoid morphology or central peg technique. METHODS: We performed a multicenter retrospective review of patients who underwent TSA with the same hybrid all-polyethylene glenoid and had minimum 2-year follow-up. Patient-reported outcomes and radiographic outcomes were analyzed based on preoperative Walch morphology and central peg technique. Radiographic analysis included preoperative glenoid morphology; preoperative and postoperative glenoid version, glenoid inclination, and posterior humeral head subluxation; and postoperative glenoid radiolucencies according to the Wirth and Lazarus classifications. RESULTS: A total of 266 patients with a mean age of 64.9 ± 8.2 years were evaluated at a mean of 28 months postoperatively. Postoperatively, there were significant improvements in all functional outcome measures (P < .001), range-of-motion measures (forward elevation, external rotation at 0°, external rotation at 90°, internal rotation by spinal level, and internal rotation at 90°; P < .001), and strength measures (Constant, external rotation, and modified belly press; P < .001). There were no clinically meaningful differences in functional outcomes or statistically significant differences in radiographic appearance between Walch type A and B glenoids. Subgroup analysis revealed that glenoids with a cemented central peg had the worst radiographic outcomes based on Lazarus scoring. CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing TSA with a hybrid in-line pegged glenoid have excellent clinical outcomes at short-term follow-up regardless of preoperative glenoid morphology. Different central peg techniques do not appear to play a significant role in the risk of glenoid component lucencies at 2 years postoperatively.

BACKGROUND: Some patients who have shoulder surgery on 1 shoulder go on to have surgery on their contralateral shoulder. It is unclear whether the clinical improvements following the second surgical procedure are as significant as the improvements after the first surgical procedure. METHODS: All patients who underwent surgery on both shoulders performed by a single surgeon between March 2013 and June 2018 were eligible for inclusion. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores were obtained preoperatively and at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years for both shoulders. Scores were then compared based on hand dominance and which shoulder was treated first. Complications were also recorded. RESULTS: Overall, 105 patients (210 surgical procedures) were included. Of the patients, 66 underwent bilateral open shoulder surgery and 39 underwent bilateral arthroscopic shoulder surgery. There was a significant reduction in VAS scores from preoperative to postoperative levels following surgery (5.9 before surgery vs. 1.7 after surgery). We found no difference in VAS scores at any time point when comparing whether the dominant or nondominant shoulder was operated on first. Significantly higher VAS scores were observed at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months following the first shoulder operation compared with the second; by 6 months and beyond, there was no longer a difference. CONCLUSION: Patients who undergo bilateral shoulder surgery have more pain in the first 3 months following their first shoulder operation compared with their second. However, there is no difference in pain scores at 6 months and beyond between shoulders.

BACKGROUND: Although reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has excellent reported outcomes and satisfaction, patients often have postoperative limitations in range of motion (ROM), specifically internal rotation. Increased lateralization is thought to improve ROM following RTSA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between radiographic measurements of lateralization and postoperative ROM and clinical outcome scores following RTSA. The authors hypothesized that increased radiographic lateralization would be associated with improved postoperative ROM, specifically internal rotation, but have no significant association with clinical outcome scores. METHODS: Patients who underwent RTSA with a 135° neck-shaft angle prosthesis and minimum 2-year clinical and radiographic follow-up were included and retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative radiographs were evaluated for several lateralization measurements including the lateralization shoulder angle (LSA), distance from the lateral border of the acromion to the lateral portion of the glenosphere, distance from the glenoid to the most lateral aspect of the greater tuberosity, and the distance from the lateral aspect of the acromion to the most lateral aspect of the greater tuberosity. Linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the independent association of each radiographic measurement of lateralization on forward flexion, external rotation, internal rotation, and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES) index score at 2 years postoperation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to identify significant thresholds of each radiographic lateralization measurement. RESULTS: A total of 203 patients were included. For internal rotation, a greater LSA (P = .007), shorter acromion to glenosphere distance (meaning more glenoid lateralization) (P = .005), and a greater acromion to greater tuberosity distance (with the tuberosity more lateral to the acromion) (P = .021) were associated with improved internal rotation. Overall, ROC analysis demonstrated very little significant data, the most notable of which was the LSA, which had a significant cutoff of 82° (sensitivity 57%, specificity 68%, P = .012). CONCLUSION: Of the numerous radiographic measures of lateralization after RTSA, the LSA is the most significantly associated with outcomes, including improved internal rotation and a decrease in forward flexion and ASES score. The clinical significance of these statistically significant findings requires further study, as the observed associations were for very small changes that may not represent clinical significance.

Orthoregeneration is defined as a solution for orthopaedic conditions that harnesses the benefits of biology to improve healing, reduce pain, improve function, and optimally, provide an environment for tissue regeneration. Options include drugs, surgical intervention, scaffolds, biologics as a product of cells, and physical and electro-magnetic stimuli. The goal of regenerative medicine is to enhance the healing of tissue after musculoskeletal injuries as both isolated treatment and adjunct to surgical management, using novel therapies to improve recovery and outcomes. Various orthopaedic biologics (orthobiologics) have been investigated for the treatment of pathology involving the shoulder including the rotator cuff tendons, glenohumeral articular cartilage, glenoid labrum, the joint capsule, and bone. Promising and established treatment modalities include hyaluronic acid (HA); platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet rich concentrates (PRC); bone marrow aspirate (BMA) comprising mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs alternatively termed medicinal signaling cells and frequently, misleadingly labelled "mesenchymal stem cells"); MSC harvested from adipose, umbilical, or placental sources; factors including vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGFß), bone morphogenic protein (BMP), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs); prolotherapy; pulsed electromagnetic field therapy; microfracture and other marrow-stimulation techniques; biologic resurfacing using acellular dermal allografts, allograft Achilles tendons, allograft lateral menisci, fascia lata autografts, and porcine xenografts; osteochondral autograft or allograft); and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). Studies involving hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma, and medicinal signaling cells of various origin tissues have shown mixed results to-date as isolated treatments and as surgical adjuncts. Despite varied results thus far, there is great potential for improved efficacy with refinement of current techniques and translation of burgeoning preclinical work. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, expert opinion.

BACKGROUND: Improvement in internal rotation (IR) is not reliably achieved after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between postoperative IR and glenoid-sided lateralization following RSA in an implant using metallic lateralization. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective study of RSAs with minimum 1-year clinical follow-up was performed. Patients were stratified based on the amount of glenoid-sided implant lateralization into 4 groups: 0-2 mm (n = 57), 4 mm (n =238), 6 mm (n = 95), and 8 mm (n = 65). The primary study outcome was active IR at a minimum of 1 year postoperatively, measured both by spinal level and in degrees with the shoulder abducted to 90°. Secondary outcomes were active forward flexion and external rotation, belly press strength, and subjective patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. Comparisons were made with 1-way analyses of variance. Linear regression analyses evaluating for the association of glenoid lateralization with active IR were also performed to control for additional confounders, including demographics and other implant variables such as glenosphere diameter, humeral lateralization, humeral version, and whether the subscapularis was repaired. RESULTS: A total of 455 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 69 years, and 48% of patients were male. IR differences varied by the method of measurement (spinal level vs. IR in degrees with arm abducted). Overall, patients with 8 mm of glenoid lateralization had significantly improved IR compared with all other lateralization groups. Patients with 6 mm of glenoid lateralization had significantly improved IR compared with the 0-2- and 4-mm groups. There were no significant differences in the secondary outcomes or PROs between lateralization groups. In the regression analysis, glenoid lateralization was the only implant-related variable that was significantly associated with improved IR for both measurement methods. Glenosphere diameter and humeral version were both significantly associated with IR measured in degrees with the arm abducted but not spinal level. CONCLUSIONS: For the studied implant system, glenoid lateralization of 6-8 mm was associated with improved active IR at 1 year compared to patients with less glenoid lateralization with no significant differences in active forward flexion, external rotation, or PROs. In a multivariable analysis, increased humeral retroversion was associated with increased IR at 90° and increasing glenosphere diameter was associated with decreased IR at 90°, whereas BMI, subscapularis repair, and humeral lateralization did not significantly affect active IR.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes and humeral stress shielding of a reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) placed with either cement or press-fit fixation. The hypothesis was that there would be no difference in functional outcomes or stress shielding. METHODS: We performed a multicenter retrospective review of primary RSAs performed with standard-length stems. The stems were identical in geometry and coating with the only variable being whether the stems were secured with cement or by a press-fit technique. The functional outcomes and radiographs of 93 press-fit stems and 26 cemented stems were reviewed at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS: Significant improvements were noted in all ranges of motion and functional outcomes from baseline (P < .001), but no difference was found between the groups (P > .05). Calcar osteolysis was seen in 43% of press-fit and 58% of cemented stems (P = .266). Proximal lateral stress shielding was more common in the press-fit group (68%) than in the cemented group (25%) (P = .045). Adaptive changes were considered low in 97% of press-fit stems, and there were no cases of tuberosity resorption. No evidence of loosening or humeral component shift was noted in either group. CONCLUSION: At short-term follow-up, no differences in functional outcomes or stem loosening were found between press-fit fixation and cemented fixation of an RSA humeral stem. Proximal stress shielding was more common with press-fit fixation with the stem in this study, but the overall changes were considered low in 97% of cases. Further study is needed to evaluate the mid- to long-term differences regarding stress shielding.

BACKGROUND: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is an effective treatment option for many shoulder conditions. Historically, this surgical procedure was performed on an inpatient basis. There has been a recent trend to perform RTSA on an outpatient basis in proper candidates. METHODS: All patients who underwent outpatient RTSA performed by a single surgeon between 2015 and 2017 were included. Demographic information and clinical outcome scores (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, visual analog scale, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores), as well as data on complications, readmission, and revision surgery, were recorded. This group of patients was then compared with a cohort of patients who underwent RTSA in the inpatient setting during the same period. RESULTS: Overall, 241 patients (average age, 68.9 years; 52.3% female patients) underwent outpatient RTSA and were included. Patients who underwent outpatient RTSA showed significant improvements in all clinical outcome scores at both 1 and 2 year postoperatively (all P < .0001). The control group of patients who underwent RTSA as inpatients consisted of 373 patients (average age, 72 years; 66% female patients). Significantly more controls had diabetes (P = .007), and controls had a higher body mass index (P = .022). No significant differences existed in improvements in clinical outcome scores between the inpatient and outpatient groups. Complication rates were significantly lower for outpatient cases than for inpatient controls (7.0% vs. 12.7%, P = .023). CONCLUSION: RTSA performed in an outpatient setting is a safe and reliable procedure that provides significant improvements in clinical outcome scores with fewer complications compared with inpatient RTSA.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare humeral inclinations of 135° and 155° in patients undergoing primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Our hypothesis was that forward flexion would be higher in the 155° group but be associated with a higher rate of scapular notching. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 100 primary RSAs performed with a humeral inclination of either 135° or 155°. The prostheses were otherwise identical and a neutral glenosphere was used in all cases. Functional outcome, forward flexion, external rotation, and scapular notching were assessed at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS: There was no difference in range of motion or functional outcome scores between the 2 groups. In the 155° group, forward flexion improved from 76° to 135° (P < .001) and external rotation remained unchanged (29° vs. 30°; P = .835). In the 135° group, postoperative forward flexion improved from 78° to 132° (P < .001) and external rotation was unchanged (28° vs. 29°; P = .814). Scapular notching was observed in 58% of cases with a 155° inclination compared with 21% with a 135° inclination (P = .009). CONCLUSION: With a neutral glenosphere there was no difference in postoperative forward flexion or external rotation after an RSA with a humeral inclination of 135° compared with 155°. Scapular notching was reduced with the use of 135° design compared with a 155° design but persists at a rate of 21% at 2-year follow-up in the absence of a lateralized glenosphere.

Uncemented press-fit humeral stems were developed with the goal of decreasing operative time, preserving bone stock, and easing revision. In recent years, short stems and stemless humeral implants have also become available. These press-fit humeral implants have varying designs that can lead to changes in stress distribution in the proximal humerus. Such stress shielding manifests as bony adaptations and may affect long-term functional outcome and the ability to perform revision. However, current studies of humeral fixation during total shoulder arthroplasty are complicated because a variety of classification systems have been used to report findings. The purpose of this report is to review the current literature on press-fit fixation of the humeral component during total shoulder arthroplasty and propose minimum requirements for radiographic descriptions of stress shielding.

BACKGROUND: Short-stem press-fit humeral components have recently been developed in an effort to preserve bone in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), but few studies have reported outcomes of these devices. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of an anatomic short-stem humeral component in TSA. We hypothesized that the implant would lead to significant functional improvement with low rates of radiographic loosening. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective review was performed of TSAs using an anatomic short-stem humeral component (Apex; Arthrex, Inc., Naples, FL, USA). The minimum follow-up was 2 years. Functional outcome was evaluated according to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Visual Analog Scale for pain, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, Simple Shoulder Test, and range of motion. A radiographic analysis was performed to evaluate component loosening. RESULTS: Sixty-four patients with a mean age of 64.1 years were available for follow-up at a mean of 25 months postoperatively. There were significant improvements in the Visual Analog Scale (6 to 2; P < .001), Simple Shoulder Test (4 to 10; P < .001), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (32 to 84; P < .001), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (37 to 80; P < .001) scores. Forward flexion improved from 116° to 148° (P < .001), external rotation improved from 30° to 57° (P < .001), and internal rotation improved from an average spinal level of S1 to L2 (P < .001). On radiographic examination, 9% of stems were deemed at risk for loosening, but there was no gross loosening in any patient. CONCLUSIONS: TSA with an anatomic press-fit short-stem humeral component is associated with significant improvements in clinical outcomes, without evidence of component loosening at short-term follow-up.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic changes of the humerus in the short term after total shoulder arthroplasty with two different short-stem humeral components. The hypothesis was that there would be no difference in radiographic changes or functional outcome based on component type. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of primary total shoulder arthroplasties performed with a short press-fit humeral component. Group A included a collarless humeral stem with an oval geometry and curved stem (Ascend or Ascend Flex; Wright Medical, Memphis, TN, USA). Group B included a humeral stem with a metaphyseal collar, rectangular geometry, and straight stem (Apex; Arthrex, Inc., Naples, FL, USA). Radiographic changes and functional outcome were evaluated at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS: There were 42 patients in group A and 35 patients in group B available for analysis. There was no difference in functional outcome between the groups. In group A, the mean total radiographic change score of the humerus was 3.9, with changes classified as low in 38% and high in 62%. In group B, the mean total radiographic change score of the humerus was 2.5, with changes classified as low in 77% and high in 23% (P < .001). Medial calcar osteolysis was present in 71% of group A compared with 28.5% of group B (P < .001). CONCLUSION: At short-term follow-up, there is no difference in functional outcome or revision between 2 different humeral stem designs. However, bone adaptive changes and the rate of medial calcar osteolysis are significantly different.

BACKGROUND: This study compared the outcome and radiographic humeral adaptations after placement of a traditional-length (TL) or short-stem (SS) humeral component during total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The hypothesis was there would be no difference in outcome or radiographic adaptations. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective review was performed of primary TSAs performed with a TL or SS press-fit humeral component. The stems were identical in geometry and coating, with the only variable being stem length. Functional outcome and radiographs were reviewed at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively in 58 TL stems and 56 SSs. RESULTS: There were significant improvements in all range of motion and functional outcome from baseline (P < .001) but no difference between the groups (P > .05). TL stems were placed in anatomic alignment 98% of the time compared with 86% of the SS cases (P = .015), but alignment did not influence outcome. Cortical thinning was more common in the medial metaphysis with the TL stem (74%) than with the SS (50%; P = .008). Partial calcar osteolysis was seen in 31% of TL stems and in 23% of SSs (P = .348). There was no difference in loosening or shift between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION: There is no difference in functional outcome at short-term follow-up between a TL stem and a SS in TSA. The pattern of radiographic adaptations may differ based on stem length. Further study is needed to evaluate the mid- to long-term differences, particularly with regard to calcar osteolysis.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate functional outcome and healing of a subscapularis peel with a stem-based repair after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The hypothesis was that the repair would lead to subscapularis healing in the majority of cases. METHODS: A prospective analysis was performed on a consecutive series of TSAs. Range of motion and functional outcome were assessed according to American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, Simple Shoulder Test, and visual analog scale scores at a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Belly-press and lift-off tests were also performed. An ultrasound evaluation assessed subscapularis healing at final follow-up. RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 15 months, 60 patients (mean age, 64 years) were examined. Mean forward flexion improved from 115° to 137°. External rotation at the side improved from 27° to 52°, and internal rotation improved from L4 to L2 (P < .05). American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score improved from 34.3 to 79.8 (P < .001). Likewise, the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation and Simple Shoulder Test scores showed significant improvement from 33.1 to 85.3 and 4.3 to 10.2, respectively (P < .001). The visual analog scale score for pain decreased from 5.8 to 0.7 (P < .001). On ultrasound examination, the subscapularis was healed intact in 55 cases (91.7%), attenuated in 3 cases (5%), and torn in 2 cases (3.3%). CONCLUSION: A stem-based repair of a subscapularis peel after TSA leads to functional improvement in the majority of cases with >90% postoperative healing of the subscapularis.

BACKGROUND: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that has been shown to significantly reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements after total knee and hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of TXA on postoperative blood loss after shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS: A total of 111 patients (62 women; average age, 67 years) who underwent shoulder arthroplasty were prospectively randomized in double-blinded fashion to receive either 100 mL of normal saline or 100 mL of normal saline with 2 g TXA by topical application into the wound at the completion of the case. All patients received a postoperative drain. Drain output representing postoperative blood loss, transfusion requirements, and change in hemoglobin level were recorded. All postoperative complications were noted. RESULTS: The average blood loss recorded after surgery was 170 mL in the placebo group and 108 mL in the TXA group (P = .017). The average change in hemoglobin level was 2.6 g/dL in the placebo group and 1.7 g/dL in the TXA group (P < .001). There were no transfusion requirements or postoperative complications noted in either group. DISCUSSION: In this cohort of patients, those treated with TXA experienced a significantly lower amount of postoperative blood loss and a significantly smaller change in hemoglobin level compared with those treated with placebo. Further work is required to determine the effectiveness and clinical significance of TXA in reducing transfusion requirements in shoulder arthroplasty and, more specifically, shoulder arthroplasty performed for complicated patients or for trauma and fracture patients.

OBJECTIVE: The pathophysiology of the most common joint disease, osteoarthritis (OA), remains poorly understood. Since synovial fluid (SF) bathes joint cartilage and synovium, we reasoned that a comparative analysis of its protein constituents in health and OA could identify pathways involved in joint damage. We undertook this study to perform a proteomic analysis of knee SF from OA patients and control subjects and to compare the results to microarray expression data from cartilage and synovium. METHODS: Age-matched knee SF samples from 10 control subjects, 10 patients with early-stage OA, and 10 patients with late-stage OA were compared using 2-dimensional difference-in-gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry (MS). MS with a multiplexed peptide selected reaction monitoring assay was used to confirm differential expression of a subset of proteins in an independent OA patient cohort. Proteomic results were analyzed by Ingenuity Pathways Analysis and compared to published synovial tissue and cartilage messenger RNA profiles. RESULTS: Sixty-six proteins were differentially present in healthy and OA SF. Three major pathways were identified among these proteins: the acute-phase response signaling pathway, the complement pathway, and the coagulation pathway. Differential expression of 5 proteins was confirmed by selected reaction monitoring assay. A focused analysis of transcripts corresponding to the differentially present proteins indicated that both synovial and cartilage tissues may contribute to the OA SF proteome. CONCLUSION: Proteins involved in the acute-phase response signaling pathway, the complement pathway, and the coagulation pathway are differentially regulated in SF from OA patients, suggesting that they contribute to joint damage. Validation of these pathways and their utility as biomarkers or therapeutic targets in OA is warranted.

BACKGROUND: Resurfacing of the glenoid with an interposition soft tissue graft in conjunction with humeral head arthroplasty has been proposed as an option to improve glenohumeral arthritis in young patients while avoiding the potential complications associated with total shoulder arthroplasty. There currently exist minimal outcomes data for this procedure, and the results have not been consistent. The purpose of this study was to report on the outcomes in our cohort of patients aged younger than 55 years. METHODS: A multicenter review of 16 patients who had undergone humeral head arthroplasty with soft tissue interposition grafting of the glenoid was performed. All patients had a minimum follow-up time of 24 months, unless revision surgery was required because of failure of the procedure. RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 60 months, the patients showed improvement in the visual analog scale score for pain from 8.1 to 5.8 (P < .05), and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score improved from 23.2 to 57.7 (P < .05). Forward elevation improved from 128° to 134° (P = .33), and external rotation improved from 28° to 32° (P = .5). Internal rotation showed no improvement. Conversion to a total shoulder arthroplasty was performed in 7 patients (44%) at a mean of 36 months. CONCLUSIONS: The optimal management for the young patient with arthritis has not yet been established. Because of the limited improvement in patient outcomes and the relatively high revision rate, biologic resurfacing of the glenoid with humeral head resurfacing is no longer our primary treatment option for young patients and should be used with caution.

Background: The role of obesity as an independent risk factor for increased complications following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) continues to generate debate. While no standardized body mass index (BMI) cutoff values for shoulder arthroplasty exist, many surgeons are concerned about the potential for poor outcomes and decreased range of motion (ROM) in patients with a high BMI. The purpose of this study was to compare functional outcomes in obese and nonobese patients preoperatively and at short-term follow-up after RSA. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of a prospectively maintained, multicenter database of primary RSAs performed by 14 surgeons between 2015 and 2019 with minimum 2-year follow-up. A total of 245 patients met the study criteria, including 111 obese (BMI >30) and 134 nonobese (BMI <30) patients. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) as well as ROM measurements were compared between the 2 groups. Results: At baseline, obese patients had significantly lower American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (36.6 vs. 42.0, P = .014), Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder scores (33.1 vs. 37.8, P = .043), external rotation at 90° (19° vs. 28°, P = .007), internal rotation (IR) spinal level (L5 vs. L4, P = .002), and belly press strength (P = .003) compared to the nonobese cohort. There were no statistical differences in 2-year outcomes (PROs, ROM, and strength) other than a worse IR (spinal level) in the low BMI group (L4 vs. L3, P = .002). In linear regression analyses controlling for confounding variables, increasing BMI was negatively correlated with preoperative external rotation (B = -0.591, P = .034) and preoperative IR spinal level (B = 0.089, P = .002). Increasing BMI was not correlated with postoperative external rotation at 90° (B = 0.189, P = .490) but was associated with worse postoperative IR by spinal level (B = 0.066, P = .043). Conclusions: Obese patients have greater restrictions in external and internal rotation as well as American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder scores at baseline prior to RSA. However, there are no major differences in postoperative PROs or ROM measurements between obese and nonobese patients apart from a worse active IR by spinal level in the obese group (L4 vs. L3, P = .002). This study suggests that an RSA procedure does not need to be restricted solely based on BMI.
RESUMO
Background: A proposed etiology of anterior shoulder pain and limited internal rotation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is impingement of the humeral component on the coracoid or conjoint tendon. The primary goal of this study was to investigate radiographic surrogates for potential coracoid or conjoint tendon impingement and their relationship to postoperative pain and internal rotation after RSA. Methods: A retrospective review of a clinical registry was performed to identify patients with (1) primary RSA, (2) minimum 2-year clinical follow-up, and (3) satisfactory postoperative axillary lateral radiographs. The primary radiographic measurement of interest was the subcoracoid distance (SCD), defined as the distance between the posterior aspect of the coracoid and the anterior glenosphere. Additional measurements were as follows: anterior glenosphere overhang, posterior glenosphere overhang, native glenoid width, lateralization of glenosphere relative to the coracoid tip, lateralization shoulder angle, and distalization shoulder angle. The primary clinical outcome of interest was the 2-year postoperative Visual Analog Scale score. Secondary outcomes were (1) internal rotation (IR) defined by spinal level (IRspine), (2) IR at 90 degrees of abduction, (3) American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, (4) forward flexion, and (5) external rotation at 0 degrees of abduction. Linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship of the various radiographic measures on the clinical outcomes of interest. Results: Two hundred seventeen patients were included. There was a statistically significant relationship between the SCD and Visual Analog Scale scores: B = -0.497, P = .047. There was a statistically significant relationship between the SCD and IRspine: B = -1.667, P < .001. Metallic lateralization was also positively associated with improving IRspine; increasing body mass index was negatively associated. There was a statistically significant relationship between the SCD and IR at 90 degrees of abduction: B = 5.844, P = .034. Conclusion: For RSA with a 135° neck shaft angle and lateralized glenoid, the postoperative SCD has a significant association with pain and IR. Decreasing SCD was associated with increased pain and decreased IR, indicating that coracoid or conjoint tendon impingement may be an important and potentially under-recognized etiology of pain and decreased IR following RSA. Further investigations aimed toward identifying a critical SCD to improve pain and IR may allow surgeons to preoperatively plan component position to improve clinical outcomes after RSA.
