Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) carries a significant symptomatic burden for patients. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is an effective treatment intervention for CTA. Disparities in musculoske...
A single-center retrospective review was conducted for adult patients diagnosed with CTA between 2015 and 2020. Patients were divided by those who underwent RSA and those who were offered RSA but did ...
Patients of other races had significantly lower odds of continuing to surgery compared with White patients in models controlled for median household income (odds ratio [OR] 0.38, 95% confidence interv...
Although contradictory to reported health care utilization for Black patients, our study supports reported disparities in utilization for other ethnic minorities. These findings may suggest that impro...
Disabling cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) is commonly managed with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). However, for patients with CTA having preserved active elevation, cuff tear arthropathy hemiarthropl...
We retrospectively reviewed 103 patients with CTA treated with shoulder arthroplasty, the type of which was determined by the patient's ability to actively elevate the arm. Outcome measures included t...
Forty-four percent of the 103 patients were managed with CTAH while 56% were managed with RSA. Both arthroplasties resulted in clinically significant improvement. Patients having RSA improved from a m...
For 103 patients with CTA, clinically significant improvement was achieved with appropriately indicated CTAH and RSA. In view of the lower cost of the CTAH implant, it may provide a cost-effective alt...
Deltoid function critically influences the results of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), and spontaneous deltoid attrition tears are frequently detected in cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) patient...
Seventy-two patients who underwent RTSA for CTA with preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a minimum clinical follow-up of 1 year (mean, 32 months) were retrospectively reviewed in the stu...
Deltoid attrition tears were detected in 21 of the 72 enrolled cases (29.1%). Anterolateral deltoid was the most frequent location and no tear was detected in the posterior deltoid. The tear rate incr...
Deltoid attrition tears were detected in 29% of CTA patients who underwent RTSA. The most common site was the anterolateral region and tear prevalence tended to increase with CTA progression. However,...
Cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) can be successfully treated with various types of shoulder arthroplasty. While reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is commonly used to treat CTA, CTA hemiarthroplasty...
Seventy-two patients (39 CTA-H and 33 RSA) were treated during the study time period using different selection criteria for each of the two procedures: CTA-H was selected in patients with retained act...
Significant improvements in SST and Short Form 36 physical component scores were seen in both groups. Inpatient hospitalization costs were significantly higher in the RSA group than that in the CTA-H ...
Using a standard algorithm of CTA-H for shoulders with retained active elevation and an intact CA arch and RSA for poor active elevation or glenohumeral instability, both procedures led to significant...
To evaluate indications and factors that influence long-term clinical outcomes and revision rates for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in shoulders with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (mRCT...
The authors retrospectively evaluated a consecutive series of shoulders with no fracture sequelae that underwent primary RSA between 2011 and 2013. Independent observers collected demographic data, su...
Case series, level IV....
From the initial series of 123 patients that underwent RSA, 29 patients died (24%) for reasons unrelated to the shoulder arthroplasty, 11 were lost to follow-up (9%), and 4 required revision surgery (...
At a minimum follow-up of 7.4 years, the absolute CS was 59.0 ± 16.2, the age-/sex-adjusted CS was 87.4 ± 24.1 and ASES was 77.1 ± 20.3. When stratifying the outcomes of RSA by indication, there were ...
Little is known about the feasibility of progressive shoulder exercises (PSE) for patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) or rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA). The aim of this study was to in...
Twenty patients were included. Eighteen patients (11 women, 15 with OA), mean age 70 years (range 57-80), performed 12 weeks of PSE with one weekly physiotherapist-supervised and two weekly home-based...
Two patients dropped out and no adverse events were observed. Sixteen of the eighteen patients (89%) had a high adherence (≥ 70%) to the physiotherapist-supervised sessions. Acceptable pain levels wer...
Adherence to PSE was high and dropout rates were low. PSE is feasible, safe and may relieve shoulder pain, improve function and ROM in patients with glenohumeral OA or CTA. The patient-experienced gai...
According to Danish law, this study did not need an approval by the Central Denmark Region Committee on Health Research Ethics. Approval from The Danish Data Protection Agency (journal number 1-16-02-...
Rotator cuff arthropathy is a spectrum of disease states secondary to full-thickness cuff tears classified by rotator cuff insufficiency and degenerative disease within the shoulder joint. Diagnosis c...
Aim of the present study was to compare the presence of Mast Cells (MCs) in synovial samples from gleno-humeral osteoarthritis (OA) and from control group....
Synovial tissue samples were obtained during arthroplasty from 23 patients with gleno-humeral OA due to rotator cuff arthropathy (RCA) and from 20 patients without OA, constituting OA group and contro...
The numbers of MCs and the area fraction (20x magnification) occupied by them were significantly higher in OA samples than in control tissue. The synovitis score was higher in OA patients with a posit...
The distribution of MCs on synovium significantly differ between OA and control groups. Despite the design of the study could not conclude the cause-effect relationship, the presence of MCs might have...

Glenoid wear (GW) is a long-term complication after humeral head replacement (HHR) and is one of the major reasons for revision surgery. This study aimed to evaluate GW at >8 years of follow-up after ...
This retrospective case-series study included 34 shoulders that were monitored for >8 years after HHR in patients with CTA (13 men and 21 women; mean age at surgery, 70.9 years [range, 55-82 years]). ...
The final GW grade was grade 0 in 3 shoulders, grade 1 in 10, grade 2 in 6, and grade 3 in 15 (grade 3A in 2, grade 3B in 6, and grade 3C in 7). The grade 3 group had lower pain scores (10.7 ± 6.2 vs....
In the long term (>8 years) after HHR with tendon transfer in patients with CTA, patients with the development of grade 3C GW ultimately achieve pain relief even without revision surgery whereas grade...
Rotator cuff tears are the most common upper extremity condition seen by primary care and orthopaedic surgeons, with a spectrum ranging from tendinopathy to full-thickness tears with arthritic change....
