Reduction and fixation techniques of the pelvis and acetabulum continue to evolve. There has been increased use of percutaneous and minimally invasive techniques in the past several decades. Although offering many advantages to traditional open techniques, percutaneous techniques still place nearby structures at risk, making a thorough understanding of the applied surgical anatomy essential.

Perioperative pain management remains an important focus of both patient and provider attention in orthopaedic trauma surgery. There is a constant effort to improve pain management while decreasing opioid consumption, and peripheral nerve blocks are a safe and effective way to achieve these two goals. This is particularly relevant because more procedures are being done in outpatient surgery centers, and the need to safely provide analgesia without the systemic risk of opioid medications is paramount. The primary goal of this article was to describe the diagnosis-based approach for the utilization of preoperative peripheral nerve blocks in perioperative care for orthopaedic trauma surgery procedures based on the experience and current practice at our center.

Iatrogenic nerve injury is a rare but potentially devastating complication in total joint arthroplasty of the hip and the knee. Multiple previous studies have evaluated the incidence, mechanisms of injury, recovery, and potential treatments for this complication. Injury in total hip arthroplasty generally involves direct injury of sensory nerves from the incision, direct or traction injury of during exposure, or limb lengthening. Injury in total knee arthroplasty generally involves direct injury of sensory nerves from incision, injury due to errant placement of retractors, during balancing, or from traction because of deformity correction. Treatment of iatrogenic nerve injuries has ranged from observation, intraoperative prevention by nerve monitoring, limb shortening postoperatively, medications, and decompression. The orthopaedic surgeon should be versed in these etiologies to advise their patients on the incidence of injury, to prevent occurrence by understanding risky intraoperative maneuvers, and to select appropriate interventions when nerve injuries occur.

All-suture anchors (ASAs) are a relatively new alternative to traditional suture anchors, comprised of sutures, suture tapes, or ribbons woven through a soft sleeve. These novel anchors are typically smaller than traditional anchors, allowing for more anchors to be used in the same amount of space or for use when bone stock is limited, for example, in revision settings. They can be inserted through curved guides to reach more challenging locations, and they have thus far had similar loads to failure during biomechanical testing as traditional anchors. However, these benefits must be weighed against new challenges. When using ASAs, care must be taken to fully deploy and seat the anchor against cortical bone for optimal fixation and to prevent gap formation. Furthermore, decortication, often performed to enhance the biologic environment for soft-tissue healing, may weaken the cortical bone on which ASA fixation depends on. The purpose of this article is to provide insight on the designs, advantages, and potential disadvantages associated with ASAs, as well as review the available biomechanical and clinical data.

There has been recent interest in throwing from flat-ground versus the mound regarding stress on the elbow. Typical throwing progression programs begin with flat-ground work and progress to mound work.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is gaining popularity as a treatment option for proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients. The impact of surgical timing on outcomes of primary rTSA is unclear. This study compared the rates of revision and complication, and surgery day cost of treatment between acute and delayed primary rTSA patients.

Patient dissatisfaction after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has been reported as high as 9%. In patients with excessive thoracic kyphosis, the scapula protracts and tilts anteriorly, which may lead to early impingement with the acromion and loss of forward elevation. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of thoracic kyphosis on overhead ROM after rTSA.

The importance of anatomic reconstruction of the proximal humerus on shoulder biomechanics and kinematics after anatomic total shoulder replacement (aTSR) has been highlighted by a number of investigations. The humeral head designs of current-generation shoulder arthroplasty emphasize either anatomic or soft-tissue balancing total shoulder arthroplasty (sbTSR) philosophies. The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative anatomy of TSR systems used to treat primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

Rates of shoulder arthroplasty continue to increase. Factors influencing disposition and the effect discharge destination may have on perioperative outcomes are currently unknown. This study (1) investigates patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty subsequently discharged to home, skilled nursing facilities, and or independent rehabilitation facilities; (2) identifies differences in perioperative outcomes; and (3) investigates the risk of adverse events and readmission after nonhome disposition.
