Surgeons and Biologics are Key Cost Drivers in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers assessed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with time-driven activity-based costing in a highly granular manner, considering patient, procedure, and surgeon characteristics. They found the use of bioinductive implants and surgeons themselves are the major cost drivers.

Review: Muscle Tendon Transfers Around the Shoulder
Bassem T. Elhassan, MD, Jon J.P. Warner, MD, and colleagues describe the diagnosis, indications, and techniques of muscle tendon transfer around the shoulder, which should be reserved for patients with passive range of motion who have been counseled carefully on postoperative expectations and potential complications.

Outpatient Shoulder Arthroplasty Is Safe, Effective and Cheaper Than Inpatient Surgery
Evan A. O'Donnell, MD, Jon J.P. Warner, MD, and colleagues in the Department of Orthopaedics, conclude from a systematic review that outpatient shoulder arthroplasty is a safe, cost-minimizing intervention associated with improved outcomes and high patient satisfaction when patients properly selected.

Recovery Faster After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Than Other Shoulder Surgeries
In a direct comparison with other common shoulder surgeries, Florian Grubhofer, MD, and Jon J.P. Warner, MD, of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, and colleagues found that patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty had the fastest recovery in terms of pain, function and subjective rating.

Needle Arthroscopy Promising for Diagnosis of Intra-articular Shoulder Pathologies
In this prospective study, Jon J. P. Warner, MD, Harvard Shoulder & Elbow Fellows, and colleagues compare the accuracy of needle arthroscopy with MRI and surgical arthroscopy for diagnosing intraarticular pathology in the shoulder.

Isolated Type II SLAP Tears Undergo Reoperation More Frequently
Researchers in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital recently observed that isolated SLAP type II repair is associated with higher risk of unplanned reoperation than SLAP repair done at the same time as rotator cuff repair or another procedure.

Case Report: Rupture of the SHB Brachii and Coracobrachialis Tendon
Jon J.P. Warner, MD, and Neal C. Chen, MD, from the Department of Orthopaedics at Massachusetts General Hospital, and colleagues describe how they managed a rare case of complete rupture of the short head of the biceps brachii and coracobrachialis tendon.

CT-based Planning Alone Does Not Help Restore Proximal Humeral Anatomy After Stemless Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Despite the use of three-dimensional CT to plan humeral head cut orientation and implant size, restoration of the anatomy of the proximal humerus after stemless total shoulder arthroplasty remains imprecise when a freehand humeral cut is performed.

Posterior Humeral Subluxation on MRI Not a Reliable Indicator of Posterior Instability
In some cases of posterior labral tears of the shoulder with concomitant posterior shoulder instability, MRI shows increased posterior humeral subluxation. Mass General surgeons thought MRI might help with the notoriously challenging diagnosis of posterior shoulder instability.
