The ability to reliably and accurately measure subtle radiographic factors longitudinally following anatomic TSA may allow for a deeper understanding of the relationship between short- and longer-term clinical outcomes.
Bone-Preserving Shoulder Surgery Shows Promising Outcomes in New Study
Anthony Miniaci, MD, a shoulder and sports medicine surgeon in Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery recently authored a proof-of-concept study that demonstrates the clinical utility of a surgical technique for patients undergoing a total shoulder arthroplasty.
Accuracy of 3-D Planning, Implant Templating and Patient Specific Instrumentation in Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
There are many different types of instrumentation available for 3-D CT preoperative planning of total shoulder arthroplasty. Cleveland Clinic orthopaedic surgeons compare the accuracy of glenoid implant placement with the use of standard and patient-specific instrumentation.
Analysis of Glenoid Component Shift and Osteolysis Following Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Postoperative 3D CT imaging analysis demonstrates that shift of a polyethylene glenoid component commonly occurs following anatomic TSA, with increased inclination the most common direction of shift.

Three Studies Provide Useful New Insights into Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis
Findings regarding pathologic wear patterns in glenohumeral osteoarthritis may ultimately impact treatment decision-making, surgical timing and type of shoulder arthroplasty chosen, and maximize clinical outcomes and implant longevity.
Latest Techniques to Address Challenges in Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability
New surgical solutions promise advantages for shoulder instability — lower complication rates and better outcomes – and lower the learning curve, but longer-term research needed.
Managing Postoperative Pain in the Orthopaedic Patient Without Opioids
Orthopaedic surgeons are the third-highest prescribers of opioid-based medications. Recognizing our role and responsibilities in balancing pain management with helping patients avoid opioid dependency, a group of forward-thinking Cleveland Clinic Florida physicians is looking at ways to stem the tide.
3-D CT Scans Detect Glenoid Shifts Earlier
Glenoid component loosening after total shoulder arthroplasty is not easy to predict. We looked at 3-D computed tomography (CT) to see if could identify changes that standard imaging methods could not.
