The purpose of this study is to determine if patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) will have improved patient reported outcome scores at 1 yr compared to those undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA).

The aim of this study is to evaluate patient beliefs about the efficacy and outcomes of anatomic versus reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term outcomes of patients with allograft prosthetic composites (APCs).

The purpose of this study is to examine trends in incidence and management of patients who had posterior sternoclavicular dislocation or anterior sternoclavicular dislocation injury treated operatively or non-operatively between 1995 – onwards.

Also, to examine the long-term outcomes of patients who had a posterior sternoclavicular dislocation or anterior sternoclavicular dislocation treated operatively or non-operatively with respect to the following outcomes: rate of surgical intervention and trends over time, rate of reoperation or revision, development of non-operative complications following posterior sternoclavicular dislocation or anterior sternoclavicular dislocation, comparison of long-term outcomes (any infection, pain, return to baseline, and non-operative complications) between surgical approaches and non-operative management. Additionally, to evaluate predictive factors associated with differences in long-term outcomes.

Primary Research Aim

• To assess the safety profile of the FiberLocker® System

  • Measured by frequency and rates of device- related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) throughout the study

  • Target <5% Adverse Effects

Secondary Research Aims

1. To assess postoperative healing following rotator cuff repair augmented with the FiberLocker® System

   • Measurement: MRI at 12 months

   • Target: ≥90% healed tendon at 12 months

2. To assess patient reported pain and shoulder function

   • Instruments: ASES, VAS, SANE, ROM

   • Target: Meeting MCID thresholds for validated outcome measures at 12 months

The purpose of this study is to create and test the validity of a telehealth protocol for obtaining shoulder range of motion. 

The purpose of this study is to compare validated clinical and functional outcomes between patients who acutely present with 3- and 4-part Proximal Humerus Fractures (PHFs) treated nonoperatively or with rTSA. We hypothesize that in displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures, rTSA will have better pain relief and functional outcomes than nonoperative treatment.

This purpose of this study is to answer if patients fair better with non-operative management or reverse total arthroplasty for treatment of 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures.
