Purpose: To investigate clinical outcomes after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) for the treatment of massive and/or irreparable rotator cuff tears treated with either allograft or autograft. Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, in April 2020 a systematic review was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. Clinical studies were assessed for patient-reported outcomes and range of motion, comparing dermal allografts to fascia lata autografts, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Results: A total of 16 clinical studies involving 598 patients (606 shoulders) were included for data analysis, with a weighted …

Background: The niche surgery of same-day bilateral total knee arthroplasty (sd-BTKA) continues to create debate amongst specialists in arthroplasty. To date, there is a significant lack of literature on obese patients undergoing sd-BTKA, and no study has evaluated outcomes of this procedure when compared to non-obese patients. Therefore, this study will perform a retrospective analysis to compare (I) incidence, (II) demographics, and (III) complications of sd-BTKA in non-obese, obese, and morbidly obese patients in the United States from 2009 to 2016.
Methods: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried for all individuals that underwent sd-BTKA from 2009 to 2016. …
Risk Factors For Liposomal Bupivacaine Resistance After Total Hip Or Knee Arthroplasties: A Retrospective Observational Cohort In 237 Patients, Scott Buzin, Arianna L. Gianakos, Deborah Li, Anthony Viola, Sherif Elkattawy, David M. Keller, Richard S. Yoon, Frank A. Liporace
Risk Factors For Liposomal Bupivacaine Resistance After Total Hip Or Knee Arthroplasties: A Retrospective Observational Cohort In 237 Patients, Scott Buzin, Arianna L. Gianakos, Deborah Li, Anthony Viola, Sherif Elkattawy, David M. Keller, Richard S. Yoon, Frank A. Liporace

Purpose: Liposomal bupivacaine demonstrated promise decreasing postoperative pain in total hip and total knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Some randomized trials have shown non-superior results; however, confounding variables were not accounted for in such analyses. This study attempts to determine risk factors associated with failure of pain management in patients receiving liposomal bupivacaine.
Methods: Postoperative pain scores were collected following primary or revision arthroplasties between January 2016 and December 2017. Retrospective analysis of institutional total joint quality and outcomes registry was screened and patients undergoing primary or revision arthroplasties who completed a multi-modal pain management including liposomal bupivacaine were included in the …
Isolated Large Glenoid Fracture In Acute Glenohumeral Dislocation In The Elderly: A Novel Indication For Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty, Tyler Smith, Joseph D'Alonzo, Alfonso Arevalo, Jack Kazanjian
Isolated Large Glenoid Fracture In Acute Glenohumeral Dislocation In The Elderly: A Novel Indication For Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty, Tyler Smith, Joseph D'Alonzo, Alfonso Arevalo, Jack Kazanjian
Orthopedic Surgery Resident Research
Case: Two elderly males presented with traumatic shoulder dislocation and bony Bankart fracture consisting of greater than 25% of the glenoid width. Due to several concomitant factors such as polytrauma, activity level, rotator cuff pathology, optimization of comorbidities, risk of complications, and potential for revision surgery, the patients were treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Conclusion: RSA may be a satisfactory treatment option for isolated, large glenoid fractures associated with anterior glenohumeral instability in the elderly. These patients are susceptible to rapid deconditioning with prolonged immobilization and may not be medically suited to undergo the prolonged recovery period associated with …
