otator cuff repair. With an elevated rate of subsequent operations, education is paramount to provide patients with expectations for the sequelae of this injury especially when presenting with concomitant injuries.
When surgical care was provided to patients sustaining isolated greater tuberosity fractures in the first 6 weeks, there was a 7.8% rate of reoperation within the first year. Patients initially treated nonoperatively had a future operation rate of 7.3% within the first year and a 3.5% reoperation rate within the second year. The most common reoperation regardless of initial treatment was rotator cuff repair. With an elevated rate of subsequent operations, education is paramount to provide patients with expectations for the sequelae of this injury especially when presenting with concomitant injuries.
Bone quality influences humeral implant selection for shoulder arthroplasty. Stattic However, little is known about how well bone near the humeral resection represents more distal cancellous bone. This investigation aimed to quantify the correlations between the apparent density of sites near the humeral head resection plane and cancellous sites throughout the metaphysis.

Using computed tomography data from 98 subjects, apparent bone density was quantified in 65 regions throughout the proximal humerus. Pearson's correlation coefficient was determined comparing the density between samples from the humeral resection and all supporting regions beneath the resection. Mean correlation coefficients were compared for (i) each sample region with all support regions, (ii) pooling all sample regions within a slice, and (iii) considering sample regions correlated with only the support regions in the same anatomic section.

Stronger correlations existed for bone sampled beneath the resection (0.33±0.10≤ r≤0.88±0.10), instead of from the resected humeral head (0.22±0.10≤ r≤0.66±0.14). None of sample region correlated strongly with all support regions; however, strong correlations existed when sample and support regions both came from the same anatomic section.

Assessments of cancellous bone quality in the proximal humerus should be made beneath the humeral resection not in the resected humeral head; and each anatomic quadrant should be assessed independently.

Management of failed anterior stabilization is difficult. There are two main options for revision either a revision labral repair which has published high failure rates because of poor quality capsulolabral tissues or a bone block/Latarjet procedure with associated morbidity and complication rates. On this background, the senior author (D.T.) has developed a newprocedure to treat this difficult to manage clinical scenario.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the 2-year results of an arthroscopic conjoint tendon transfer procedure. The procedure has previously been developed to provide a potential solution for active patients with a failed labral repair, subcritical glenoid bone loss, and an on-track Hill-Sachs lesion.

Consecutive patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were prospectively recruited. Inclusion criteria were active patients with recurrent shoulder instability owing to failed labral repair, less than 10% anterior glenoid bone loss, and an on-track Hill Sachs lesion. Patients were fu2-year follow-up demonstrate that the arthroscopic transfer of the conjoint tendon confers clinical stability in patients with a failed primary labral repair who have minimal bone loss.
Shoulder microinstability is often overlooked, which can be problematic, especially in overhead athletes. The slipping phenomenon is defined as posterior or lateral sliding of the humeral head in an elevated arm. When the shoulder is close to the end range of stability, the infraspinatus is highly activated and keeps the shoulder in the glenoid cavity. This study aimed to examine the characteristic physical function and infraspinatus activity during the pitching motion in baseball pitchers with shoulder instability.

Twenty-one male baseball pitchers participated and were divided into 2 groups based on radiograph findings at zero position slipped (group S) and nonslipped (group N) groups. Physical function using Hara test and infraspinatus muscle activity during pitching were evaluated.

The infraspinatus muscle activity during the acceleration phase was significantly greater in group S (59.5±33.0%MVC) than in group N (33.0±16.9%MVC) (
<.05). Positive rate of the Hara test in group S was significantly high in the loose test and elbow push test.

This study shows that baseball pitchers with slipping phenomenon have capsular laxity and scapular instability that indicate high infraspinatus muscle activity during the acceleration phase. Therefore, repetitive pitching with hyperactivity of the infraspinatus on the slipping shoulder may cause fatigue and dysfunction.

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is an effective treatment for patients with symptomatic rotator cuff tears. Ensuring timely and appropriate postoperative access to physical therapy (PT) is paramount to the achievement of optimal patient outcomes. Extended immobility due to a lack of formal rehabilitation can lead to decreased range of motion, continued pain, and potential reoperation for stiffness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate national disparities in access to PT services after rotator cuff repair between patients with private vs. Medicaid insurance. This study will further evaluate differences in access to PT services between states that have previously undergone Medicaid expansion as compared with those states which have not.

The American Physical Therapy Association Website was used to identify 10 physical therapy practices from the capital city in every state. Each physical therapy practice was contacted using a mock-patient script for a patient with Medicaid insurance or private (Blue Cross Blue Shield) insurance.
