A study from the Yale School of Medicine suggests that surgeons should be just as concerned with outcomes in underweight patients, who have a higher risk of adverse events and infection following TSA than any other BMI category, including the morbidly obese.

The role of the anconeus in elbow stability has been a long-standing debate. Anatomic and electromyographic studies have suggested a potential role as a stabilizer. However, to our knowledge, no clinical or biomechanical studies have investigated its role in improving the stability of a combined lateral collateral ligament and common extensor origin (LCL + CEO)-deficient elbow.

Rotator cuff lesions can be considered complex for a variety of reasons. It might be that previous attempts at repair have been made and failed. Worse still, an infection has occurred as a complication of previous surgery.

Orthopaedic surgeons routinely perform reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) on patients with pathologies beyond the original indication for the reverse implant. With this comes the need for practical solutions to the clinical issues that can occur, such as unexplained pain, dislocation, infection, and fracture.
