Introduction:. The complex 3D geometry of the scapula and the variability among individuals makes it difficult to precisely quantify its morphometric features. Recently, the scapular neck has been recognized as an important morphometric parameter particularly due to the role it plays in scapular notching, which occurs when the humeral component of a

Objectives. To date, no study has considered the impact of acromial morphology on shoulder range of movement (ROM). The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effects of lateralization of the centre of rotation (COR) and neck-shaft angle (NSA) on shoulder ROM after

Introduction and Objective. In recent years, along with the extending longevity of patients and the increase in their functional demands, the number of annually performed RSA and the incidence of complications are also increasing. When a complication occurs, the patient often needs multiple surgeries to restore the function of the upper limb. Revision implants are directly responsible for the critical reduction of the bone stock, especially in the shoulder. The purpose of this paper is to report the use of allograft bone to restore the bone stock of the glenoid in the treatment of an aseptic glenoid component loosening after a
Background. Stemless prostheses are recognized to be an effective solution for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) while providing bone preservation and shortest operating time.
Management of bone loss on both sides of the glenohumeral joint has been made much easier by the introduction of the

Background. Locked anterior shoulders (LAS) with static instability and anterior glenoid bone loss are challenging in the elderly population.
Background. Operative treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures remains controversial. The transition to value-based health care demands a better understanding of the costs associated with surgery. The purpose of this study was to examine the 90-day costs of three common surgical treatments for proximal humerus fractures and non-operative treatment and compare the costs associated with the initial-day and subsequent 89-days of care. Methods. A query of the Humana insurance claims database was performed through the PearlDiver Supercomputer (Warsaw, IN) from 2010 to 2014 using the diagnosis codes for proximal humerus fractures together with current procedural terminology codes (CPT) for hemiarthroplasties (HA), open reduction internal fixation (ORIF),
