Background
Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) procedure volume is increasing, as is reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) procedure volume, which continues to make up a larger proportion of all TSA procedures performed. Whether growing procedure volume is associated with growing patient interest has not yet been assessed with the field of shoulder arthroplasty. The present study aimed to evaluate trends in public and scientific interest in RTSA compared to TSA by assessing Google Trends and publication frequency data, respectively.
Methods
Google Trends data and publication frequency data on PubMed were collected for RTSA and TSA between January 2010 and December 2023. Trend analyses were performed.
Results
Over the 13-year period between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2023, Google Trends search data demonstrated that RTSA searches are growing as a share of TSA searches, indicating an upward trajectory for RTSA over the entirety of the study period. PubMed literature revealed RTSA represents a rising proportion of all TSA publications, increasing significantly from 31% to 58% of the total publications (P < .001). Publications for both RTSA and TSA have increased 668% and 233%, respectively, over the study period.
Conclusion
RTSA encompasses an increasing portion of patient interest in TSA and, similarly, a growing share of publications on TSA. The significant upward trajectory of these trend lines over the entirety of the study period suggests both public and research interest in RTSA will continue to grow. Trends demonstrating rising public awareness and interest can inform surgeons planning for a future of increased demand for RTSA.

Background
We compared anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) for osteoarthritis to both highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) and non–highly crosslinked polyethylene (non-XLPE) to determine the rate of revision for multiple patient and implant characteristics, modeling the effect of variation in glenoid fixation design (glenoid component type).
Methods
Data from a large national arthroplasty registry were analyzed for the period April 16, 2004, to December 31, 2022. The study population included all primary aTSA (stemmed and stemless shoulder arthroplasty) procedures with a primary diagnosis of osteoarthritis and performed using prostheses in current use. These procedures were grouped into 2 cohorts: all polyethylene-bearing glenoid components with either XLPE or non-XLPE. The cumulative percent revision was determined using Kaplan–Meier estimates of survivorship and hazard ratios from Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for age, sex, humeral head size, humeral fixation, type of primary (total stemmed or stemless anatomic), glenoid component type (modular and nonmodular metal-backed glenoid, cemented polyethylene glenoid, and polyethylene glenoid with modified central peg), and surgeon volume (after 2008). Possible interactions were examined. A subanalysis from January 1, 2017, captured the additional patient demographics of American Society of Anesthesiologists score, body mass index, and glenoid morphology.
Results
Of 11,003 aTSA procedures, the cumulative percent revision at 14 years for all XLPE glenoids (n = 3865) was 5.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.9, 8.7), and 18.7% (95% CI 16.6, 21.0) for non-XLPE (n = 7138). XLPE had a lower rate of revision from 2 years (non-XLPE vs. XLPE 2 years + hazard ratio = 1.66, (95% CI 1.09, 2.53), P = .018) adjusting for age, sex, humeral head size, type of primary, humeral stem fixation, and glenoid component type. Overall, glenoid component type and polyethylene type were strongly associated (P < .001 and P = .021, respectively) with all-cause aTSA revision rates. The difference between non-XLPE and XLPE is observed across all polyethylene glenoid types. When considering procedures performed between 2017 and 2022, XLPE vs. non-XLPE rates of revision were not significantly different with extended adjustment at subanalysis, but loosening did not predominate for non-XLPE until year 6 of follow-up.
Conclusion
Both the glenoid design and the type of polyethylene predict the revision rate for aTSA. However, the relative rates of revision between glenoid designs did not differ with polyethylene type. While the polyethylene type was not associated with aTSA revision rates in a more contemporary analysis, the incidence of loosening in non-XLPE prostheses combinations was higher from 6 years may explain this.
背景:我们比较了高度交联聚乙烯(XLPE)和非高度交联聚乙烯(非XLPE)治疗骨关节炎的解剖性全肩关节置换术(aTSA),以确定多例患者的翻修率和假体特征,模拟了关节盂固定设计(关节盂组件类型)变化的影响。方法分析2004年4月16日至2022年12月31日期间来自大型国家关节置换术登记处的数据。研究人群包括所有原发性aTSA(有柄和无柄肩关节置换术)手术,主要诊断为骨关节炎,并使用目前使用的假体。这些手术分为2组:所有聚乙烯关节盂组件,包括XLPE或非XLPE。累积百分比修正采用Kaplan-Meier估计生存率和Cox比例风险模型的风险比来确定,这些模型校正了年龄、性别、肱骨头大小、肱骨固定、原发类型(全柄或无柄解剖)、肩关节组件类型(模块化和非模块化金属支撑肩关节、胶结聚乙烯肩关节和带改良中心钉的聚乙烯肩关节)和外科医生数量(2008年后)。研究了可能的相互作用。从2017年1月1日开始的亚分析,捕获了美国麻醉医师协会评分、体重指数和肩关节形态的额外患者人口统计数据。结果在11003例aTSA手术中,所有XLPE肩关节盂(n = 3865) 14年的累计修正率为5.8%(95%可信区间[CI] 3.9, 8.7),非XLPE肩关节盂(n = 7138)的累计修正率为18.7% (95% CI 16.6, 21.0)。经年龄、性别、肱骨头大小、原发性骨折类型、肱骨干固定和肩关节假体类型调整后,XLPE术后2年的翻修率较低(非XLPE vs. XLPE 2年+风险比= 1.66,(95% CI 1.09, 2.53), P = 0.018)。总体而言,关节盂成分类型和聚乙烯类型密切相关(P <;.001和P = .021),全因aTSA修订率。非XLPE和XLPE之间的差异在所有聚乙烯关节盂类型中都可以观察到。当考虑2017年至2022年间进行的手术时,在亚分析中,XLPE与非XLPE的矫正率在延长调整时没有显着差异,但直到第6年随访时,非XLPE的松动率才占主导地位。结论关节盂的设计和聚乙烯的类型可以预测aTSA的翻修率。然而,聚乙烯型关节盂的相对翻修率并无差异。虽然在更现代的分析中,聚乙烯类型与aTSA翻修率无关,但非xlpe假体组合的松动发生率高于6年,这可能解释了这一点。

Background
Language barriers can negatively impact the quality of care for non-English speaking patients. Lack of access to health-care providers who speak multiple languages or interpreters in medical offices can result in delayed appointment times, delayed treatment, and increased complications. Access to shoulder surgeons with subspecialty training is limited and this has been established which may further exacerbate the problem with access for these patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of primary language spoken on access to specialty shoulder care in South Florida.
Methods
Three populous, diverse counties in South Florida were selected for data collection. Sixty-nine orthopedic offices were identified by Google search and selected via random number generator. Investigators used the Secret Shopper methodology to contact each office to schedule an appointment for a shoulder arthroplasty for a family member who spoke exclusively English or Spanish using a blocked phone number. The ability to schedule a new patient appointment with a fellowship-trained shoulder specialist, the waiting period for the scheduled appointment, and interpretation services for Spanish-speaking patients were collected.
Results
Of the 69 offices called, 35 met inclusion criteria. There were no significant differences in wait times for shoulder arthroplasty based on primary language spoken. There was no difference in wait time to see a shoulder specialist between Spanish (13.7 days) and English-speaking patients (12.9 days) (P = .835)). Wait times with a nonfellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon between Spanish and English-speaking patients was also not different (9.5 days and 11.96 days, respectively (P = .522). Similarly, no difference existed in phone call duration (P = .56), median income and wait times for a general orthopedic surgeon, with r = −0.26 (P = .105), or a shoulder specialist, with r = −0.19 (P = .22). Of the clinics accepting patients, 74.3% (n = 26/35) offered Spanish interpretation with 42.3% (n = 11/26) providing a multilingual physician, 26.9% (n = 7/26) a translating service, 23.1% (n = 6/26) had a staff member capable of translation, and 7.7% (n = 2/26) had an available professional interpreter.
Conclusion
While access to orthopedic specialty care may be similar for Spanish-speaking and English-speaking patients in South Florida, over 25% of clinics lack multilingual physicians or qualified interpreter access. This can negatively impact surgical decision-making, postoperative care and outcomes after shoulder surgery. It is essential the orthopedic community advocates for the proper resources to optimally assist surgeons and provide quality care for Spanish-speaking orthopedic patients.

Despite the effectiveness of 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) for identifying bone and joint conditions, there are few clinical data on humeral head enlargement in patients with rotator cuff tears (RCTs), including cuff tear arthropathy (CTA). This study aimed to investigate the factors correlated with humeral head size measured through 3D-CT in patients with RCTs.
Methods
This cross-sectional study included 43 preoperative patients who were diagnosed via RCTs. The severity of RCTs was classified into 3 types: small-medium tears, large-massive tears, and CTA. The 3D-radius was calculated from the raw radius data using 3D-CT and adjusted by height as a corrected-radius. The reliability of the 3D-radius measurements was calculated as the intraclass correlation coefficient. Various statistical analyses, including correlation coefficients, group comparisons, and multiple regression analyses, were used to explore factors associated with humeral head size.
Results
The interobserver reliability of the 3D-radius was 0.903. The corrected-radius on the affected side exhibited correlations with age (r = 0.598, P < .001) and the acromion-humeral interval (r = −0.609, P < .001). Group comparison between tear sizes, the CTA group had larger corrected-radius than the other groups (P = .001), with no significant difference between the small-medium tear and large-massive tear groups (P = .932). Multiple regression analysis adjusted for covariates revealed that the corrected-radius was correlated with age and the acromion-humeral interval (P < .05, R2 = 0.474).
Conclusion
These findings provide valuable clinical insights into the factors associated with humeral head enlargement, particularly in patients with RCTs. The measurement method we used holds promise for informing the selection of artificial head sizes during the preoperative planning of total shoulder arthroplasty.
尽管三维计算机断层扫描(3D-CT)在识别骨骼和关节状况方面很有效,但关于肩袖撕裂(rct)患者肱骨头肿大的临床数据很少,包括肩袖撕裂关节病(CTA)。本研究旨在探讨在随机对照试验患者中通过3D-CT测量肱骨头大小的相关因素。方法本横断面研究纳入43例术前通过随机对照试验诊断的患者。rct的严重程度分为3种类型:中小型撕裂、大型撕裂和CTA。3d半径是利用3D-CT从原始半径数据中计算出来的,并根据高度进行调整作为校正半径。三维半径测量的可靠性计算为类内相关系数。各种统计分析,包括相关系数、组比较和多元回归分析,用于探讨肱骨头大小的相关因素。结果三维半径的观察者间信度为0.903。患侧矫正半径与年龄相关(r = 0.598, P <;.001)和肩峰-肱骨间隔(r = - 0.609, P <;措施)。组间撕裂大小比较,CTA组矫正半径大于其他组(P = 0.001),中小型撕裂组与大型撕裂组间差异无统计学意义(P = 0.932)。经协变量校正后的多元回归分析显示,校正后的桡骨与年龄和肩峰-肱骨间隔相关(P <;0.05, r2 = 0.474)。结论:这些发现为肱骨头增大的相关因素提供了有价值的临床见解,特别是在随机对照试验患者中。我们使用的测量方法有望为全肩关节置换术术前计划中人工头尺寸的选择提供信息。

Background
The volume of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) procedures has seen a remarkable surge over the past decade in the United States. Recent research has shown an association between depression and poorer postoperative outcomes following shoulder, hip, and knee arthroplasties. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between patients with a diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety and the risk of major postoperative complications after TSA.
Methods
The TriNetX Research Network database was queried on May 30, 2023. Patient cohorts and outcomes were defined using International Classification for Disease, 10th Edition diagnosis codes and Current Procedural Terminology codes. After propensity score matching, the two cohorts were analyzed for differences in major outcomes within two years following the initial procedure.
Results
Of the 45,838 patients who underwent TSA identified in TriNetX, 15,074 patients were included in the depression/anxiety cohort and 30,764 were included in the no depression/anxiety cohort. Propensity score matching was performed to match 13,392 patients from each cohort. Compared to patients with no depression nor anxiety, patients with either depression and/or anxiety were identified to have a higher risk for dislocation (odds ratio [OR] 1.502, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.285-1.756; P < .001), periprosthetic joint infection (OR 1.309, 95% CI 1.123-1.525; P = .001), periprosthetic fracture (OR 1.661, 95% CI 1.341-2.056; P < .001), and revision TSA (OR 1.316, 95% CI 1.150-1.506; P < .001) within 2 years after the initial procedure.
Conclusion
Overall, this study showed that patients who have depression and/or anxiety have a higher risk for dislocation, periprosthetic joint infection, revision TSA, and periprosthetic fracture within two years after TSA.
背景:在美国,全肩关节置换术(TSA)手术的数量在过去十年中出现了显著的激增。最近的研究表明,肩、髋关节和膝关节置换术后抑郁与较差的术后预后之间存在关联。本研究的目的是检查诊断为抑郁和/或焦虑的患者与TSA术后主要并发症风险之间的关系。方法于2023年5月30日查询TriNetX Research Network数据库。使用国际疾病分类第10版诊断代码和现行程序术语代码定义患者队列和结果。在倾向评分匹配后,分析两个队列在初始手术后两年内主要结果的差异。结果在TriNetX中鉴定的45,838例接受TSA的患者中,15,074例患者被纳入抑郁/焦虑组,30,764例患者被纳入无抑郁/焦虑组。对来自每个队列的13392名患者进行倾向评分匹配。与没有抑郁和焦虑的患者相比,抑郁和/或焦虑的患者脱位的风险更高(优势比[or] 1.502, 95%可信区间[CI] 1.285-1.756;P & lt;.001),假体周围关节感染(OR 1.309, 95% CI 1.123-1.525;P = .001),假体周围骨折(OR 1.661, 95% CI 1.341-2.056;P & lt;.001),修订后的TSA (OR 1.316, 95% CI 1.150-1.506;P & lt;.001)初次手术后2年内。总的来说,本研究表明,患有抑郁和/或焦虑的患者在TSA后两年内发生脱位、假体周围关节感染、翻修TSA和假体周围骨折的风险更高。

Background
One of the more common limitations after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is limited internal rotation (IR). Outcomes after rTSA are commonly reported as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) but are rarely assessed by specific activities of daily living (ADLs). Analyzing ADLs evaluates for specific motions from PROMs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the deficit in IR following rTSA through ADLs.
Methods
A retrospective case-control study was conducted using institutional medical records. Patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty between 2009 and 2020 were reviewed for demographic and clinical variables (type of arthroplasty, indication, range of motion and strength). PROMs were taken by phone at 2-year minimum follow-up. Statistics were calculated as two-tailed using Chi-square or simple t-tests as appropriate.
Results
Among 208 patients, 114 aTSA, and 94 rTSA were identified and included in this study. Both groups reported significant increases in range of motion and strength postoperatively. PROMs were mostly similar between aTSA and rTSA (Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation 83.4 ± 17.1 vs. 82.3 ± 18.4, P = .643; visual analog scale Pain 2.2 ± 2.8 vs. 1.8 ± 2.4, P = .247), while Simple Shoulder Test did show a difference (9.2 ± 2.8 vs. 7.8 ± 3.2, P = .001) with higher scores in the aTSA cohort. The ADLs which showed significant disparity between aTSA and rTSA were toileting (P = .001), donning a coat (P = .017), reaching one’s back (P = .017), as well as throwing overhand (0.013) with rTSA patients reporting more difficulty in all these ADLs.
Conclusion
Both aTSA and rTSA are safe and efficacious options for shoulder replacement, as evidenced by high Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation and low visual analog scale pain scores and should be used according to their established indications. Surgeons may counsel rTSA patients about potential increased deficits in ADLs reliant on IR such as managing toileting and dressing compared to aTSA recipients.

Background
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a viable option for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in the elderly, and cemented humeral fixation is the standard of care. This study evaluates the influence of a diaphyseal press-fit stem with a 142° humeral inclination on tuberosity healing (TH) and functional outcome in RSA for PHF.
Methods
Twenty-three patients received an RSA for PHF by a single surgeon at one center over a 2-year period. The humeral stem design was intended for diaphyseal press fit with a 142° humeral inclination. The tuberosities were repaired for each patient with bone graft and a standard suture technique. Patients’ clinical and radiographic outcomes were collected with a minimum 12-month follow-up.
Results
Nineteen of 23 patients (83%), with a mean age of 75 + years, were available for follow-up at an average of 14 months. Radiographic analysis showed 68% of patients had evidence of TH. Grade 1 scapular notching was found in 32% of patients. There was no implant loosening or subsidence noted. Average range of motion was 163° ± 15° degrees of forward flexion, 113° ± 24° of abduction, internal rotation to the waist, and an average external rotation of 7 ± 1.5 as measured by the Constant-Murley score. The average American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score was 81.8, and the average Constant-Murley score was 67.9. While not significant, those with TH trended toward better clinical outcomes. There was a 0% revision rate.
Conclusion
A press-fit stem designed for diaphyseal fixation provides consistent reliable results in RSA for PHF. A high percentage of TH was appreciated with a 142° humeral inclination, neutral glenosphere construct, and a standardized bone grafting, suture technique. TH is associated with improved patient outcomes.

Background
When performing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with compromised proximal bone fixation, surgeons must consider using specialized stems with a distal press-fit design. In this study, the authors report on the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who underwent surgical management with modular diaphyseal press-fit stems.
Methods
In 2017-2021, patients who underwent revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty reconstruction with diaphyseal press-fit stems (Aequalis Adjustable Stem [AS] or Aequalis Flex Revive Stem [RS]; Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) with minimum 1-year follow-up were identified. Patients with complex proximal humerus and scapula fractures, neurological injuries, and custom humeral replacements were excluded. Demographics and clinical follow-up data including range of motion, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Score, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative radiographs were reviewed for aseptic humeral loosening, periprosthetic instability, stress shielding, periprosthetic fractures, and humeral stem failure.
Results
Sixty-five patients (29 AS and 36 RS) had mean follow-up of 25 months (standard deviation ± 16). Mean anterior elevation improved from 57° ± 39 preoperative to 121° ± 31 postoperatively. Mean external rotation improved from 3° ± 17 to 34° ± 16. Mean internal rotation improved from 4° ± 13 to 35° ± 26. Mean VAS improved from 6.7 ± 2.2 to 2.9 ± 1.5. Mean SST improved from 13% ± 13% to 65% ± 22%. Mean ASES score improved from 19 ± 13 to 60 ± 18. Mean Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation improved from 25% ± 18% to 71% ± 17%. There were statistically significant differences in mean postoperative VAS (P = .0017), SST (P = .025), and ASES score (P = .0228) in favor of the RS group. There were no other notable differences between groups. The most common complications were aseptic humeral stem loosening (24% vs. 3%, P = .018) and periprosthetic instability (10% vs. 6%, P = .649) for the AS and RS cohorts, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between surgical revision rates between the AS and RS cohorts (24% vs. 8%, respectively. P = .096).
Discussion
Diaphyseal press-fit modular humeral stem can provide a viable surgical alternative in compromised proximal humeral bone. At short-term follow-up, the clinical and radiographic outcomes are comparable to other stem designs. Further studies are necessary to identify risks and causes of failure associated with modular diaphyseal press-fit stems.

Background
The reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is increasingly gaining popularity in treating various traumatic and degenerative glenohumeral diseases as well as rotator cuff-deficient shoulders. An investigation of midterm outcomes of rTSA is warranted as this is a relatively new procedure when compared to other forms of arthroplasty. This systematic literature review evaluates midterm outcomes of rTSA at a minimum of five-year follow-up.
Methods
A literature search was performed for studies reporting long-term outcomes of rTSA in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Papers were included if they described long-term outcomes of rTSA at a minimum of 5-year follow-up. Data were collected on patient demographics, including age, gender, and body mass index. Follow-up duration, indication for surgery, patient-reported outcome measures, and range of motion (ROM) were also recorded. Complication rates and device survivorship were also collected.
Results
There were a total of 4127 patients from 34 included studies. The overall study population was 74% female, and the average age was 72.6 years (23-95). The most common diagnosis was cuff tear arthropathy [35.2%], followed by proximal humerus fracture [19.5%], and rotator cuff tears [14.9%]. Patient-reported outcome measures improved significantly when comparing preoperative and postoperative values. ROM, including forward elevation, abduction, and external rotation, also improved significantly postoperatively. The overall complication rate was 14.7% (n = 981). The most common complications were implant loosening (3.3%, n = 219) and instability or dislocation (3.3%, n = 218). The overall revision rate was 5.5% (n = 310). The device survivorship rate at a minimum of 5 years was 94%.
Conclusion
This systematic review demonstrated that outcomes of rTSA performed for a variety of shoulder pathologies demonstrate significant improvement in nearly all patient-reported outcome scores as well as significant improvement in ROM at long-term follow-up. The overall complication rate of 14.7% is relatively low, and the device survivorship is good at 94% at a minimum of 5 years.
