RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Dog walking is associated with a significant injury burden among adults, but the risk of injury associated with dog walking among children is poorly understood. This study describes the epidemiology of children treated at US emergency departments for injuries related to leash-dependent dog walking. METHODS: The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database was retrospectively analyzed to identify children (5 to 18 years of age) presenting to US emergency departments between 2001 and 2020 with dog walking-related injuries. Primary outcomes included annual estimates of injury incidence, injury characteristics, and risk factors for fracture or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Weighted estimates, odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were generated using NEISS sample weights. RESULTS: An estimated 35,611 children presented to US emergency departments with injuries related to dog walking. The mean age of patients was 11 years, and most patients were girls (63%). Over half (55%) of injuries were orthopaedic, and patients commonly injured their upper extremity (57%) and were hurt while falling when pulled or tripped by the leash (55%). The most frequent injuries were wrist strain/sprain (5.6%), finger strain/sprain (5.4%), and ankle strain/sprain (5.3%). On multivariable analysis, injured children aged 5 to 11 years were more likely to have sustained a TBI (OR: 3.2, 95% CI: 1.1-9.7) or fracture (OR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1-2.3). Boys were more likely than girls to have experienced a fracture (OR: 2.0, 95% CI: 1.3-2.5). CONCLUSIONS: Dog walking-related injuries in children are primarily orthopaedic and involve the upper extremity. Younger children and boys are at greater risk for serious dog walking-related injuries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

BACKGROUND: The influence of position of the humeral tray (inlay or onlay) on clinical outcomes in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a topic of debate. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with cuff tear arthropathy treated with RSA systems with inlay or onlay humeral tray design, similar neck-shaft angles, and lateralized glenospheres. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of prospectively obtained data from 1 tertiary care center. We identified all patients who underwent primary RSA between 2009 and 2017 (N = 511). We included 102 patients with diagnosed cuff tear arthropathy treated with RSA prostheses with a lateralized glenosphere and 135° neck-shaft angle (with either an inlay or onlay humeral tray design) who had a minimum of 2 years of follow-up (mean, 44 months; range, 24-125 months). Sixty-three patients (62%) had an inlay humeral tray (inlay group) and 39 (38%) had an onlay tray (onlay group). All patients underwent preoperative and postoperative evaluations, including measures of patient-reported outcomes (PROs), shoulder range of motion (ROM) testing, and radiographic imaging. Clinical relevance of changes in PROs and ROM was evaluated using published values for minimal clinically important differences. RESULTS: The 2 groups did not differ by demographic characteristics except for a higher proportion of women in the inlay group (75%) than in the onlay group (56%) (P = .04). Preoperative PROs and ROM were not significantly different between groups. At final follow-up, PROs and ROM were not different between groups in terms of statistical significance or clinical relevance. We found no significant differences in the rate of baseplate loosening (inlay, 3.2% vs. onlay, 5.1%, P = .63), revision surgery (inlay, 0% vs. onlay 5.1%, P = .07), acromial stress fracture (inlay, 3.2% vs. onlay, 5.1%, P = .63), prosthesis dislocation (inlay, 0% vs. onlay, 2.6%, P = .20), or scapular notching (inlay, 21% vs. onlay, 7.7%, P = .08). CONCLUSION: At 2-year minimum follow-up, the position of the humeral tray in RSA prostheses (either inlay or onlay) for cuff tear arthropathy was not associated with PROs, shoulder ROM, or rates of complications, including baseplate loosening, acromial stress fracture, and scapular notching.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has become an increasingly popular treatment strategy in the management of complex proximal humeral fractures (PHFs). However, no definitive consensus has been reached regarding the optimal surgical timing of RTSA following PHF, particularly considering nonoperative management is often a viable option. Therefore, the aim of this study was (1) to identify optimal timing intervals that maximize the likelihood of revision following RTSA and (2) to determine differences in revision etiologies using the identified timing intervals. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis of patients undergoing PHF-indicated RTSA from 2010 to 2021 was conducted using a national administrative claims database. Stratum-specific likelihood ratio (SSLR) analysis was conducted to determine data-driven timing strata between PHF and RTSA that maximized the likelihood of revision surgery within 2 years of RTSA. To control for confounders, multivariable regression analysis was conducted to confirm the identified data-driven strata's association with 2-year revision rates as well as compare the likelihood of various indications for revision including mechanical loosening, dislocation, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and periprosthetic fracture (PPF). RESULTS: In total, 11,707 patients undergoing TSA following PHF were included in this study. SSLR analysis identified 2 timing categories: 0-6 weeks and 7-52 weeks from the time of PHF to TSA surgery. Relative to the 0-6-week cohort, the 7-52-week cohort was more likely to undergo revision surgery within 2 years (OR 1.93, P < .001). Moreover, the 7-52-week cohort had significantly higher odds of revision indicated for dislocation (OR 2.24, P < .001), mechanical loosening (OR 1.71, P < .001), PJI (OR 1.74, P < .001), and PPF (OR 1.96, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Using SSLR, we were successful in identifying 2 data-driven timing strata between PHF and RTSA that maximized the likelihood of 2-year revision surgery. As it can be difficult to determine whether RTSA or nonoperative management is initially more appropriate, considering the results of this study, an early trial of 4-6 weeks of nonoperative management may be appropriate without altering the risks associated with RTSA.
RESUMEN
Arthroscopic distal clavicle excision (DCE) is a reliable procedure to treat acromioclavicular joint arthritis. Typically, only 1 to 2 cm of distal clavicle should be removed. Resection of too much bone can lead to instability of the joint or lack of support to the shoulder. We describe 2 patients who had excessive clavicular bone removed arthroscopically, leading to irreparable clavicular pain and dysfunction. The 2 female patients, ages 56 and 60 years, presented to our clinic with continued pain after DCE. Both had pain intractable with nonoperative treatment and loss of range of motion of the shoulder. Radiographs revealed a distal clavicle defect of 7.5 cm in 1 patient. The second patient had a 2-cm distal clavicular defect with an adjacent 2-cm clavicle bone fragment between the defect and residual clavicle shaft. Both underwent surgery with subtotal claviculectomy for pain control. During surgery, 1 patient had a subclavian vein requiring vascular repair. After 1 year of follow-up, both patients had reduced but residual pain and restricted range of motion. Only 1 patient could rejoin her preinjury occupation. Neither patient could continue with preinjury recreational sports. Excessive removal of the distal clavicle during DCE can result in continued pain and disability of the shoulder. Methods to visualize the anatomy of the distal clavicle and its articulation to the acromion should be considered when performing this operation arthroscopically. Reoperation to remove subtotal clavicle has good clinical outcomes but may lead to serious complications due to the proximity to major neurovascular structures. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(1):e57-e60.].

BACKGROUND: Our purpose was to evaluate a custom reverse total shoulder arthroplasty glenoid baseplate for severe glenoid deficiency, emphasizing the challenges with this approach, including short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes and complications. METHODS: This was a single-institution, retrospective series of 29 patients between January 2017 and December 2022 for whom a custom glenoid component was created for extensive glenoid bone loss. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and at intervals for up to 5 years. All received preoperative physical examinations, plain radiographs, and computed tomography (CT). Intra- and postoperative complications are reported. RESULTS: Of 29 patients, delays resulted in only undergoing surgery, and in three of those, the implant did not match the glenoid. For those three, the time from CT scan to implantation averaged 7.6 months (range, 6.1-10.7 months), compared with 5.5 months (range, 2-8.6 months) for those whose implants fit. In patients with at least 2-year follow-up (n=9), no failures occurred. Significant improvements were observed in all patient-reported outcome measures in those nine patients (American Shoulder and Elbow Score, P<0.01; Simple Shoulder Test, P=0.02; Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, P<0.01; Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Index, P<0.01). Range of motion improved for forward flexion and abduction (P=0.03 for both) and internal rotation up the back (P=0.02). Pain and satisfaction also improved (P<0.01 for both). CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged time (>6 months) from CT scan to device implantation resulted in bone loss that rendered the implants unusable. Satisfactory short-term radiographic and clinical follow-up can be achieved with a well-fitting device. Level of evidence: III.
RESUMEN
Background: This systematic review and network meta-analysis compare clinical outcomes of three different subscapularis management techniques in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty: lesser tuberosity osteotomy, subscapularis peel, and subscapularis tenotomy. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane's trial registry were searched in July 2021. Comparative studies and case series evaluating the outcomes of these three techniques were included. The network meta-analysis was performed only on comparative studies. Results: Twenty-three studies were included. Both lesser tuberosity osteotomy and subscapularis peel had significantly higher Western Ontario Osteoarthritis Scores compared to subscapularis tenotomy, but no difference in American Shoulder and Elbow Society Scores. Subscapularis peel had superior external rotation compared to lesser tuberosity osteotomy. However, no difference was found in external rotation between subscapularis peel and subscapularis tenotomy or between subscapularis tenotomy and lesser tuberosity osteotomy. The overall weighted average for lesser tuberosity osteotomy bony union was 93.6%, whereas the overall weighted average for subscapularis tendon healing was 79.4% and 87% for subscapularis tenotomy and subscapularis peel, respectively. Discussion: This network meta-analysis demonstrated that lesser tuberosity osteotomy and subscapularis peel were associated with the high union and subscapularis healing rates and may be associated with improved shoulder function and quality of life, compared to subscapularis tenotomy. Lesser tuberosity osteotomy and subscapularis peel demonstrate a trend of superior outcomes compared to subscapularis tenotomy during anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.
RESUMEN
Background: Recurrent shoulder instability is a debilitating condition that can lead to chronic pain, decreased function, and inability to return to activities or sport. This retrospective epidemiology study was performed to report 90-day postoperative complications and costs of Latarjet, anterior bone block reconstruction, arthroscopic, and open Bankart repair for shoulder instability. Methods: Patients 18 years and older who underwent four primary shoulder surgeries from 2010 to 2019 were identified using national claims data. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and 90-day postoperative complications were analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression. Total and itemized 90-day reimbursements were determined for each procedure. Results: The 90-day medical and surgery-specific complication rates were highest for anterior bone block reconstruction, followed by Latarjet. Arthroscopic Bankart repair had the highest 90-day costs and primary procedure costs compared to other procedures. Conclusion: Anterior bone block reconstruction and Latarjet procedures were associated with the highest rates of 90-day medical and surgery-specific complications, while arthroscopic Bankart repair was associated with the highest costs.
RESUMEN
Background: Several classifications have been proposed for subscapularis tendon tearing (SCTs); however, there remains a poor agreement between orthopedic surgeons regarding the diagnosis and management of these lesions. Distinguishing the various tear patterns and classifying them with some prognostic significance may aid the operating surgeon in planning appropriate treatment. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to outline the current literature regarding SCT classification and treatment and conduct a survey among shoulder and elbow surgeons to identify the approaches regarding surgical decision-making for these injuries. Methods: In this systematic review, we analyzed 12 articles regarding the subscapularis tendon tear classification and implications regarding treatment plans and outcomes. In addition, 4 international experts in subscapularis repair surgery participated in the development of a questionnaire form that was distributed to 1161 ASES members. One hundred sixty five surgeons participated and chose whether they agree, disagree, or abstain for each of the 32 statements in 4 parts including indications/contraindications, treatment plan, and the factors affecting outcomes in the survey. Results: Classification criteria were extremely variable with differing recommendations and descriptions of tear morphology; most were based on tear size, associated shoulder pathology, or lesser tuberosity footprint exposure. Considering the multiple classification systems and the overall poor agreement regarding SCT management, our study found that the most widely agreed upon (more than 80%) statements included early surgery is advised for traumatic SCT, chronic degenerative SCT (without fatty infiltration) associated with acute supraspinatus tear is a candidate for repair, and rotator cuff arthropathy is a contraindication for SCT repair. Conclusion: Our study was able to identify both patient and tear characteristics that are well agreed upon among surgeons in the treatment of these injuries. Lafosse classification is generally widely accepted; however, it needs to be improved by some additions. Continued collaboration among surgeons is needed to establish an acceptable and broadly applicable classification system for the management of these injuries.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Dog walking is a popular daily activity, yet information regarding its injury burden is limited. This study describes the epidemiology of injuries related to leash-dependent dog walking among adults presenting to US emergency departments from 2001 to 2020. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database to identify adults (≥18 yr) presenting to US emergency departments with leash-dependent dog walking-related injuries between 2001 and 2020. Outcomes included annual estimates of injury incidence, injury characteristics, and risk factors for sustaining a fracture or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Weighted estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were generated using National Electronic Injury Surveillance System sample weights. RESULTS: Between 2001 and 2020, an estimated 422,659 adults presented to US emergency departments with injuries related to leash-dependent dog walking. The annual incidence increased more than fourfold during this period ( n = 7282 vs n = 32,306, P < 0.001). Most patients were women (75%) and adults age 40 to 64 yr (47%), with a mean age of 53 ± 0.5 yr. Patients commonly injured their upper extremity (51%) and were injured while falling when pulled or tripped by the leash (55%). The three most common injuries were finger fracture (6.9%), TBI (5.6%), and shoulder sprain/strain (5.1%). On multivariate analysis, fracture risk among dog walkers was higher in adults age ≥65 yr (odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% CI, 1.8-2.5) and women (OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.3-1.7). Risk of TBI was also elevated among older dog walkers (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3-2.0). CONCLUSIONS: Dog walking is associated with a considerable and rising injury burden. Dog owners should be informed of this injury potential and advised on risk-reduction strategies.
RESUMEN
In patients with severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) and preserved rotator cuff function who have failed nonoperative treatment, anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has historically been the preferred surgical treatment. Shoulder arthroplasty in the setting of glenoid bone loss setting is technically demanding. Many techniques have been described to deal with glenoid bone loss including eccentric reaming, bone grafting, augmented glenoid baseplates, and patient-specific implants. Still, the decision to perform anatomic TSA or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is often unclear, especially as the use of RTSA increases and evolves, making historical studies less useful when considering modern implant designs. RTSA has been advocated as a solution for patients with severe glenoid bone loss with intact rotator cuff function. Moreover, in appropriately selected patients, good outcomes can be achieved without the use of bone grafting or augmented baseplates. In cases of severe glenoid bone loss, RTSA can be performed with reaming the glenoid flat such that the baseplate rests on native glenoid bone. We have previously reported excellent prosthetic survival with this technique at 5-year follow-up. The purpose of this article is to highlight our suggested treatment algorithm for glenohumeral OA with glenoid bone loss and intact rotator cuff. Specifically, we focus on situations where RTSA may be preferred as opposed to anatomic TSA, and our suggested approach to managing bone loss intraoperatively in this complex patient population.
RESUMEN
Background and Objective: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has become a common orthopaedic procedure, with a growing number of cases annually for multiple indications, such as rotator cuff arthropathy, osteoarthritis, or fractures of the proximal humerus, to reduce pain and restore shoulder mobility. Prosthesis design and various recent improvements aim to enhance range of motion (ROM) and stability and to limit component loosening and other potential complications. Many of these well-known issues could theoretically be improved by glenoid, humeral, or combined component lateralization. The objective of this article is to provide an up-to-date literature overview, present available options, and discuss the rationale behind lateralization of certain components, as well as their combined impact on outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: PubMed and Scopus databases from 2003 to 2023 were searched and screened for studies, including systematic reviews, on the influence of glenoid, humeral, and combined component lateralization that served for narrative review of rationale behind such design. Key Content and Findings: Currently, a number of computer simulations, anatomic studies, and limited clinical references aim to support the rationale behind glenoid augmentation, variable humeral neck-shaft angle (NSA), or humeral tray design. Conclusions: The utility of lateralization has not yet been clinically established. Randomized, long-term clinical outcome studies are still needed to reach a verdict going beyond surgeon preference and case-specific indications.
RESUMEN
We compared the strength of screw vs suture button fixation in the Latarjet procedure for shoulder dislocation through biomechanical testing in a cadaver model. Cadavers were assigned randomly to receive screw or suture button fixation (both groups, n=5). The anteroposterior radius of the glenoid was measured, and a bony defect was created on the anteroinferior rim of the glenoid, equal to 25% of the width of the anteroposterior radius of the glenoid surface. The coracoid process was transferred into the newly created bony defect of the glenoid and fixed with two 3.5-mm partially threaded cannulated screws or 2 surgical buttons. All samples underwent tensile testing in the anteroinferior direction. Statistical analysis was performed to compare mean forces at failure between groups (alpha=.05). The mean force at failure was higher in the screw group (295 N; range, 103-534 N) than in the suture button group (133 N; range, 74-270 N) (P=.045). We found no difference between groups in ability to withstand a force of 150 N, which is the reported mean daily force threshold borne by the shoulder (P=.52). Screw fixation withstood a higher failure load than suture button fixation, indicating that screw fixation is a biomechanically superior option in the Latarjet procedure. The fixation methods did not differ in their ability to withstand the mean force borne by the shoulder during activities of daily living; thus, suture button fixation should be considered as an option in the Latarjet procedure.

Introduction: Avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity is uncommon. Patients typically present with symptoms consistent with hamstring strain. The purpose of this case report is to describe an avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity and subsequent recovery in an athlete with an endocrine disorder. Case Description: A 15-year-old United States of America Gymnastics level 9 gymnast presented with right hamstring pain after regular practice. She had been diagnosed with isolated growth hormone deficiency at age 4 and was treated with growth hormone replacement therapy until age 14. Six months before presentation, she experienced the insidious onset of dull, aching pain in her right hamstring, near the junction of the thigh and buttocks, that was believed to be the result of a chronic hamstring strain. The pain increased gradually over a year and was relieved with rest, massage, and dry needling. Two days before presentation, she felt a "snap" and pain while performing a switch leap during regular practice. She had sharp localized pain in the proximal hamstring with walking and sitting. She was diagnosed with a minimally displaced avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity. Outcome: With nonoperative treatment, the fracture healed at three months, which is longer than the expected six weeks. Although return to sports is expected three months after this injury, it did not occur until six months in this patient. She was unable to participate in competitive level 9 gymnastics until 12 months after injury. Discussion: This case highlights that delayed recovery can occur after avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity in adolescent athletes with a history of growth hormone deficiency and treatment using growth hormone. Level of Evidence: 5.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of periprosthetic shoulder infection (PSI) in patients with a painful arthroplasty is challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be helpful, but shoulder implant-induced metal artifacts degrade conventional MRI. Advanced metal artifact reduction (MARS) improves the visibility of periprosthetic bone and soft tissues. The purpose of our study was to determine the reliability, repeatability, and diagnostic performance of advanced MARS-MRI findings for diagnosing PSI. METHODS: Between January 2015 and December 2019, we enrolled consecutive patients suspected of having PSI at our academic hospital. All 89 participants had at least 1-year clinical follow-up and underwent standardized clinical, radiographic, and laboratory evaluations and advanced MARS-MRI. Two fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists retrospectively evaluated the advanced MARS-MRI studies for findings associated with PSI in a blinded and independent fashion. Both readers repeated their evaluations after a 2-month interval. Interreader reliability and intrareader repeatability were assessed with κ coefficients. The diagnostic performance of advanced MARS-MRI for PSI was quantified using sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). When applying the International Consensus Meeting (ICM) 2018 criteria, of the 89 participants, 22 (25%) were deemed as being infected and 67 (75%) were classified as being not infected (unlikely to have PSA and not requiring a surgical procedure during 1-year follow-up). RESULTS: The interreader reliability and intrareader repeatability of advanced MARS-MRI findings, including lymphadenopathy, joint effusion, synovitis, extra-articular fluid collection, a sinus tract, rotator cuff muscle edema, and periprosthetic bone resorption, were good (κ = 0.61 to 0.80) to excellent (κ > 0.80). Lymphadenopathy, complex joint effusion, and edematous synovitis had sensitivities of >85%, specificities of >90%, odds ratios of >3.6, and AUC values of >0.90 for diagnosing PSI. The presence of all 3 findings together yielded a PSI probability of >99%, per logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows the clinical utility of advanced MARS-MRI for diagnosing PSI when using the ICM 2018 criteria as the reference standard. Although the reliability and diagnostic accuracy were high, these conclusions are based on our specific advanced MARS-MRI protocol interpreted by experienced musculoskeletal radiologists. Investigations with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic Level III . See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Purpose: To compare 90-day postoperative complications, health care use, 2-year and 5-year rates of reoperation and manipulation under anesthesia, and costs at the 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year postoperative intervals following open and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). Methods: Patients who underwent an open or arthroscopic RCR with minimum 5-year follow-up were identified in a national database (PearlDiver Technologies) using Common Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes. These patients were then stratified into 2 cohorts: open RCRs and arthroscopic RCRs. These cohorts were propensity-matched based on age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, smoking status, and obesity (body mass index>30). 90-day medical complications, 2-year and 5-year surgical complications, and reimbursements at the 30-day, 90-day and 1-year postoperative intervals were assessed. Bivariate statistics were performed using χ2 tests, Fisher exact tests, and Student t tests where appropriate. Reimbursements included the reimbursement for the index surgery as well as any reimbursements during the specified postoperative interval related to the index surgery. Results: In total, 3,266 patients who underwent open RCR were matched with 3,266 patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR. Compared with patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR, patients who underwent open RCR were at significantly increased risk of 90-day surgical-site infection (0.89% vs 0.34%, P = .004), undergoing manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) within 2 years of surgery (1.65% vs 0.95%, P = .012), and undergoing MUA within 5 years of surgery (1.75% vs 1.10%, P = .028). There were no significant differences in any other postoperative complications, reoperation rates, or reimbursements between open RCR and arthroscopic RCR (all, P > .05). Conclusions: Patients undergoing open RCR were at increased risk of 90-day surgical-site infection and MUA both within 2 years and within 5 years of surgery in this study cohort. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
RESUMEN
CONTEXT: Speedball is an increasingly popular racquet sport played in more than 25 countries. Our objective was to describe injury incidence and patterns among Egyptian national-level speedball athletes. DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiological. METHODS: We conducted a survey of athletes who were registered with the Egyptian Speedball Federation during the 2018-2019 professional season. The survey inquired about injury types and athlete exposures (AEs). The response rate was 63% (100/160 athletes). Respondent ages ranged from 18 to 41 years. We analyzed demographic characteristics; number, location, and mechanism of injuries; treatment; and speedball participation time lost because of injury. RESULTS: Of 100 respondents, 65 reported having sustained at least one injury during the season for a total of 90 injuries and a rate of 4.7 injuries per 1000 AEs (95% confidence interval, 3.7 to 5.7). More injuries occurred during practice (77%) than during competition (23%). Thirty percent of respondents reported having missed a competition because of injury. The most frequent anatomic locations of injury were the shoulder (50%; 2.4/1000 AEs), elbow (14%; 0.68/1000 AEs), and low back (9%; 0.4/1000 AEs). The most frequently cited causes of injury were increased intensity of training (40%) and lack of warming up (18%). Seventy-seven percent of injured respondents underwent treatment by a health care professional, and 9% of these respondents underwent surgery. CONCLUSION: The shoulder was the most common anatomic location for injuries in speedball athletes. Our results suggest that attention should be directed toward sport-specific injury prevention and intervention strategies because speedball is a fast-growing sport in several countries.

BACKGROUND: Whether or how the position of the humeral tray (inlay or onlay) in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) affects outcomes is unclear. Our goal was to compare the clinical and radiographic results of RSA systems with inlay vs. onlay designs but with similar neck shaft angles (NSAs) and lateralized glenospheres. METHODS: We screened the institutional database at our tertiary academic center for patients who underwent primary RSA (with a lateralized glenosphere and a 135° NSA) from 2009 through 2017. The indication for surgery was glenohumeral osteoarthritis with glenoid bone loss (Walch classification A2, B2, B3, or C) and an intact rotator cuff. All patients were followed for a minimum of 2 years (mean, 47 months; range, 24-123 months). The humeral tray design was inlay for 79 patients and onlay for 71. All patients underwent preoperative and postoperative evaluations, including physical examination, radiography, and patient-reported outcome measures (visual analog scale for pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Simple Shoulder Test, and Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder index). RESULTS: Compared with preoperative values, both groups achieved minimal clinically important differences in range of motion and patient-reported outcomes at the final follow-up. We found no significant differences between groups in any of these measures at the final follow-up. Rates of revision (inlay, 3.8% vs. onlay, 1.4%), scapular notching (inlay, 5.1% vs. onlay, 7.0%), acromial stress fracture (inlay, 0% vs. onlay, 2.8%), and tuberosity resorption (inlay, 25% vs. onlay, 27%) were not significantly different between groups (all, P > .05). CONCLUSION: For patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis with glenoid bone loss and an intact rotator cuff who underwent RSA using a lateralized glenosphere prosthesis with a 135° NSA, there were no significant differences between the inlay and onlay groups for range of motion, patient-reported outcomes, or complication rates. These findings are limited to this off-label indication for RSA.
