Today's shoulder and elbow edition covers four key clinical topics: coracoid fragment characteristics that predict nonunion after Bankart-Bristow procedures, functional advantages of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty over hemiarthroplasty for massive cuff tears without arthritis, the association between prescription testosterone and increased shoulder arthroplasty complications, and comparative outcomes between Latarjet and Bankart-remplissage procedures for anterior instability with minimal bone loss.
