The stability of the glenohumeral joint depends on soft tissue stabilizers, bone morphology
and dynamic stabilizers such as the rotator cuff and long head of the biceps tendon …

Background: While massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs) have been
abundantly studied, inconsistent definitions in the literature and theories about pain and …

Variable definitions of pseudoparalysis have been used in the literature. Recent systematic
reviews and biomechanical studies call for a grading of loss of force couple balance and the …

Rotator cuff tears continue to be at risk of retear or failure to heal after surgical repair, despite
the use of various surgical techniques, which stimulate development of novel scaffolding …

Purpose To determine the patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) values for American
Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and the Constant–Murley (CM) score after …

Abstract Background Acromial fractures after Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA)
are a common complication. Nevertheless, only a few studies have identified risk factors for …

Background Although massive rotator cuff tears occasionally lead to severe impairment of
shoulder function, the criteria for losing the ability to elevate the arm are unclear. This study …

Background The biomechanical effects of joint-line medialization during shoulder surgery
are poorly understood. It was therefore the purpose of this study to investigate whether …

Background Clinical presentation of massive rotator cuff tears range from pain to loss of
active range of motion. Pseudoparalysis and pseudoparesis are defined inconsistently in the …

Purpose The detrimental effect of greater tuberosity malposition on functional scores is well
known. Superior or posterior malpositions exceeding five mm lead to excessive loading on …
