Article Abstract
Opioid-limiting legislation has been enacted in response to the opioid epidemic in the United States. However, the impact of this legislation on perioperative opioid prescribing in elective shoulder surgery is not well understood. This is an observational review of 90-day perioperative opioid-prescription filling by patients undergoing shoulder surgery using a national insurance database (n = 231,634 patients) between 2010 and 2019. Statistics evaluated the impact of the year and opioid-limiting legislation on first prescription and cumulative 90-day opioid filling. Initial and cumulative opioid-prescription volume decreased significantly from 2010 to 2019 (49 to 44.4 initial oxycodone 5-mg equivalents, 132.8 to 72.3 cumulative oxycodone 5-mg equivalents; all p < 0.001). States with opioid-limiting legislation had larger reductions in initial and cumulative opioid-prescription filling over similar time frames (p < 0.001). Perioperative opioid prescribing has decreased significantly in shoulder surgery with time and state legislation. Individual prescribers and state and national legislators should continue to seek ways to reduce opioid overprescribing. (Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances 33(3):152-157, 2024).

Atelocollagen exhibits superior performance compared to growth factors in upregulating proteins associated with tendon healing.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the effects of atelocollagen (AC) and individual growth factors on the expression of key molecular markers associated with tendon healing.
Methods: C2C12 myoblasts were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and treated with 1 nM or 10 nM of Atelocollagen (AC), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for 5 days. After 5 days of treatment, cells were harvested from the culture medium, and Western blot analysis was performed to quantify the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), Collagen type I (Col I), Collagen type Ⅲ (Col Ⅲ), and Tenascin C (TnC).

A 48-year-old man with a superior labral tear and medical history including hemidiaphragmatic paresis, obstructive sleep apnea, vocal cord paresis, and glottic narrowing, underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis. Reduction in respiratory function presented anesthetic management challenges with general anesthesia or an interscalene brachial plexus block. Instead, ultrasound guidance was used to deliver a selective upper-trunk block with 1 % lidocaine and an axillary nerve block with 0.

Introduction: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a well-established treatment for patients with rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The outcome after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been investigated in several studies and national registries. However, the treatment has not been compared to non-surgical treatment.

Objective: The incidence of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in the United States continues to climb as an aging yet active population increases demand for the procedure. Due to promising clinical results out of Europe, improvement in prosthesis design, and wider acceptance of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), this study was designed to evaluate how rTSA and anatomical TSA (aTSA) utilization, patient selection, and length of stay have changed at a single institution.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients from one hospital system between 2017 and 2023.

Debilitated calves are often presented with an umbilical remnant infection, septic arthritis, or both. These comorbidities, frequently caused by similar bacteria, must be addressed surgically. In cases of omphalophlebitis where the infection reaches the liver, the clinician generally has 1 option: marsupialization of the vein.
