BACKGROUND: To examine the rates and predictors of deep periprosthetic infections after
primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). METHODS: We used prospectively collected data …

Background Two-stage reimplantation for prosthetic joint infection reportedly has the lowest
risk for recurrent infection. Most studies to date have evaluated revision surgery for infection …

BACKGROUND: To examine the rates and predictors of deep periprosthetic infections after
shoulder hemiarthroplasty. METHODS: We used prospectively collected institutional registry …

Postarthroplasty infection is a devastating complication. In some patients, virulent pathogens
or poor health complicate reconstruction. Resection arthroplasty is a viable option in such …

HYPOTHESIS: Resection arthroplasty can be performed for recalcitrant shoulder infection. It
is unclear whether a spacer has any benefit. We hypothesized that spacers would increase …

reliability of glenohumeral osteoarthritis classification schemes. Materials and methods The …

BACKGROUND: As shoulder arthroplasty becomes more common, the number of failed
arthroplasties requiring revision is expected to increase. When revision arthroplasty is not …
