Glenoid component loosening remains the most common reason for revision of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). We assessed early clinical and radiographic outcomes following aTSA using a press-fit short stem and a peripherally enhanced fixation glenoid. 275 consecutive patients with end-stage glenohumeral arthritis and Walch A- or B-type glenoid morphology who underwent primary aTSA in 2017-2018 at two high-volume shoulder arthroplasty institutions were evaluated, and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and radiographic findings were studied in those with completed baseline and minimum 2-year follow-up, respectively. Patient demographics, glenoid morphology, body mass index (BMI), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and Simple Assessment Numeric Evaluation score were collected. Radiographic analysis of glenoid and humeral components was performed. Multivariable logistic, equal adjacent odds ordinal, and beta regression were respectively used to identify predictors of glenoid radiolucent lines, humeral calcar resorption, and total ASES score. Patients were 43% female, with a mean age of 66, a median BMI of 30, and median follow-up of 28.4 months. ASES and Simple Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores improved by respective medians of 54.4 and 55.0 points, forward elevation by median 35°, and external rotation by median 30° (all P <.001 for preoperative to postoperative change). Postoperative radiographs of 177 cases showed 10 (5.7%) glenoid osteolysis, 51 (28.8%) glenoid radiolucent lines, and 81 (45.8%) calcar resorptions. The follow-up duration (median 40.1 vs. 27.2 months; P <.001), BMI (median 27.5 vs. 30.7; P <.001), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (Q3 0 vs. 1; P =.02) were associated with glenoid osteolysis in bivariate analyses. In multiple logistic regression, surgeon (C vs. A/B) was the only statistically significant predictor of glenoid radiolucent lines [OR 0.27, 95% CI (0.1, 0.8)]. By descending importance, Surgeon C [OR 6.5 (2.0, 20.5)], humeral canal filling ratio [upper vs. lower quartile OR 2.3 (1.3, 4.0)], mediolateral humeral head deviation [upper vs. lower quartile OR 1.9 (1.0, 3.5)], and glenoid osteolysis [OR 13.5 (2.6, 71.6)] significantly predicted greater calcar resorption. Longer follow-up duration marginally statistically significantly predicted lower ASES score [upper vs. lower quartile OR 0.8 (0.6, 1.0)]. Following aTSA with a peripherally enhanced fixation glenoid, pain, range of motion, and patient-reported outcomes significantly improved at a minimum of 2 years with only 5.7% glenoid osteolysis despite heterogeneous preoperative glenoid pathologies.

- Abstract
Prognostic factors for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) clinical outcomes are incompletely understood. This study investigates the associations of preoperative patient, disease-specific, and surgical factors with 1-year postoperative PENN Shoulder Score (PSS) in patients undergoing primary TSA. Cleveland Clinic patients undergoing primary anatomic TSA (aTSA) or reverse TSA (rTSA) for glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) or rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) between February 2015 and August 2019, and having complete preoperative and 1-year postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), were included. Twenty preselected preoperative patient, disease-specific, and surgical factors were used to fit multivariable models for 1-year PSS and its subscores. Of 1427 eligible primary TSAs, 1174 had 1-year follow-up by PROMs (82%), with 1042 analyzed after additional exclusions, including 30% rTSAs for CTA (n = 308), 26% rTSAs for GHOA (n = 275), and 44% aTSAs for GHOA (n = 459). All PROMs showed statistically significant improvements postoperatively, with 89% of patients reaching an acceptable symptom state. Lower 1-year PSS was associated with younger age, female sex, current smoking, chronic pain diagnosis, history of prior surgery, worker's compensation claim, lower preoperative mental health, lower baseline PSS, absence of glenoid bone loss, and diagnosis-arthroplasty type (CTA-rTSA < GHOA-rTSA < GHOA-aTSA). The most important prognostic factors associated with 1-year PSS were diagnosis-arthroplasty type, baseline mental health status, and insurance status. Disease diagnosis, arthroplasty type, and several other baseline factors are strongly and individually associated with PROMs following primary TSA, with patients undergoing aTSA for GHOA demonstrating the highest PROM scores at 1-year follow-up. Patient, disease-specific, and surgical factors can be used to guide postoperative prognosis following primary TSA for improved preoperative patient counseling regarding expected outcomes of these procedures.

Both anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty have seen increasing utilization over the last 20 years. Malpositioned components present a significant risk for loosening and failure in both total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Preoperative planning with three-dimensional computed tomography imaging and virtual implant templating can help surgeons determine optimal implant position and has been shown to provide superior accuracy over standard 2D computed tomography imaging without virtual templating. Surgeons can use preoperative planning software to evaluate complex cases of glenoid bone loss or deformity requiring bone grafts or augmented implants to determine what surgical correction and techniques are necessary to achieve the goals of implant placement. While the development of preoperative planning software represents a technological advancement, it is important for surgeons to understand that variations can exist between different commercially available software programs in their methods of bony segmentation and landmark placement, which can lead to some differences in the measurement of pathology. This article will review how this technology is utilized to better understand preoperative bony deformity and optimize implant positioning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Churchill, Jessica L., Paez, Conner J., Entezari, Vahid, Ricchetti, Eric T., and Ho, Jason C.
- Abstract
Many surgeons seek to optimize their patients’ comorbid conditions preoperatively to reduce postoperative complications. To effectively optimize patients before total shoulder arthroplasty, the surgeon should be familiar with recognizing and treating common medical comorbidities found in an orthopedic patient including anemia, diabetes, malnutrition, cardiovascular conditions, and history of deep venous thrombosis. Screening for depression or other mental illness should also be conducted preoperatively and managed accordingly before surgery. Preoperative opioid use and smoking have significant effects on postoperative outcomes and should be addressed before surgery.

- Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based rotator cuff assessment is often qualitative and subjective; few studies have tried to validate such preoperative assessments. This study investigates relationships of preoperative MRI assessments made by conventional approaches to intraoperative findings of tear type, location, and size or MRI-assessed muscle occupation ratio.

- Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is standard of care for rotator cuff evaluation, with clinical interpretation usually limited to qualitative judgments. The reliability of MRI-based measurements and scoring systems has been evaluated only preoperatively or ≥6 months following rotator cuff repair, when repairs are in the later stages of healing. This study describes the MRI assessments and inter-rater agreement of various rotator cuff tendon and muscle parameters evaluated preoperatively and 4 times during the first postoperative year. Two musculoskeletal radiologists independently assessed MRI scans of 42 patients preoperatively and 3, 12, 26, and 52 weeks after rotator cuff repair. Using standardized reading rules, readers assessed tendon integrity (5-point Sugaya classification), tear dimensions, muscle fat (5-point Goutallier classification) and atrophy (4-point Warner classification), muscle cross-sectional areas, and myotendinous junction distance. Raw exact agreement proportions, κ statistics, and correlation coefficients were used to quantify inter-rater agreement. Readers showed moderate to substantial above-chance agreement in scoring rotator cuff tendon integrity and supraspinatus muscle atrophy and good to excellent agreement on tear dimensions and muscle cross-sectional areas but only fair to moderate agreement for fatty infiltration and myotendinous junction distance. Only fatty infiltration grades evidenced observer bias. Inter-rater agreement did not appear time dependent. By use of defined reading rules in a research setting, MRI evaluations of rotator cuff tendon integrity, tear dimensions, muscle atrophy, and cross-sectional areas have reasonable reliability at all time points in the first postoperative year. However, the presence of clinically significant disagreements, even in such favorable circumstances, indicates the need for improved imaging tools for precise rotator cuff evaluation.

- Abstract
Nerve palsy is common after humeral shaft fracture, with the radial nerve being the most commonly injured nerve. Isolated nerve injuries usually recover spontaneously, and operative intervention is rarely indicated. Our goal was to study the predictors of traumatic nerve injury and recovery in a large cohort of patients with humeral shaft fractures. A total of 376 patients with humeral shaft fracture, including 96 patients with documented traumatic nerve palsy and 280 with intact neurovascular examination on presentation, were retrospectively included in the study. The primary outcome was incidence of a traumatic nerve palsy, and the secondary outcome was nerve recovery. Nerve palsy was present in 96 patients (25.5%) at the time of injury. Radial nerve was the most commonly injured nerve (93.6%), followed by the ulnar (5.1%) and axillary (1.2%) nerves. Seventeen patients (17.7%) had multiple nerves palsies. A multivariable regression analysis revealed that the concomitant vascular injury (odds ratio [OR] 52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.6-480.6), distal one-third fractures (OR 6.3, 95% CI 2.7-14.7), and middle one-third (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.2-6.5) vs. proximal fractures, open fracture (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.1-4.4), and high-energy trauma (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.9) were independent predictors of nerve palsy. Iatrogenic nerve injury was detected in 7 patients (4.6%), all affecting the radial nerve. Spontaneous recovery of traumatic nerve injuries was detected in 87 patients (91%), with 19% partial and 72% complete recovery. The initial sign of recovery was observed at median times of 7 and 9 weeks for those managed conservatively or fracture fixation. Operative treatment of the fracture had no effect on the outcome of nerve recovery (88.5% vs. 100%, P =.14). Ten patients (14.1%) had transected nerves at the time of exploration and open fractures (22.7% vs. 6.8%, P =.04), and concomitant vascular injury (33.3% vs. 7.3%, P =.02) were associated with nerve transection, portending a worse prognosis for nerve recovery compared with nerves in continuity (40% vs. 95.3%, P =.004). The incidence of nerve injury after humeral shaft fracture was 25%, reflecting an abundance of high-energy and open injuries in this cohort. Ninety-one percent of patients experienced improvement in their nerve function with a median time to recovery of 7-9 weeks. Operative treatment of the fracture did not change the rate of nerve recovery. Patients with multiple nerve palsies and concurrent vascular insult had worse nerve recovery. We recommend nerve studies if no sign of recovery is observed by 9 weeks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Acromial (ASF) and scapular spine (SSF) stress fractures are well-recognized complications of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), but much of the current data are derived from single-center or single-implant studies with limited generalizability. This study from the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Complications of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Multicenter Research Group determined the incidence of ASF/SSF after RSA and identified preoperative patient characteristics associated with their occurrence. Fifteen institutions including 21 ASES members across the United States participated in this study. Patients undergoing either primary or revision RSA between January 2013 and June 2019 with a minimum 3-month follow-up were included. All definitions and inclusion criteria were determined using the Delphi method, an iterative survey process involving all primary investigators. Consensus was achieved when at least 75% of investigators agreed on each aspect of the study protocol. Only symptomatic ASF/SSF diagnosed by radiograph or computed tomography were considered. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with ASF/SSF development. We identified 6755 RSAs with an average follow-up of 19.8 months (range, 3-94). The total stress fracture incidence rate was 3.9% (n = 264), of which 3.0% (n = 200) were ASF and 0.9% (n = 64) were SSF. Fractures occurred at an average 8.2 months (0-64) following RSA with 21.2% (n = 56) following a trauma. Patient-related factors independently predictive of ASF were chronic dislocation (odds ratio [OR] 3.67, P =.04), massive rotator cuff tear without arthritis (OR 2.51, P <.01), rotator cuff arthropathy (OR 2.14, P <.01), self-reported osteoporosis (OR 2.21, P <.01), inflammatory arthritis (OR 2.18, P <.01), female sex (OR 1.51, P =.02), and older age (OR 1.02 per 1-year increase, P =.02). Factors independently associated with the development of SSF included osteoporosis (OR 2.63, P <.01), female sex (OR 2.34, P =.01), rotator cuff arthropathy (OR 2.12, P =.03), and inflammatory arthritis (OR 2.05, P =.03). About 1 in 26 patients undergoing RSA will develop a symptomatic ASF or SSF, more frequently within the first year of surgery. Our results indicate that severe rotator cuff disease may play an important role in the occurrence of stress fractures following RSA. This information can be used to counsel patients about potential setbacks in recovery, especially among older women with suboptimal bone health. Strategies for prevention of ASF and SSF in these at-risk patients warrant further study. A follow-up study evaluating the impact of prosthetic factors on the incidence rates of ASF and SSF may prove highly valuable in the decision-making process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Shoulder pain and dysfunction are common indications for shoulder arthroplasty, yet the factors that are associated with these symptoms are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the associations of patient and disease-specific factors with preoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty. We hypothesized that worse mental health status assessed by the Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) mental component score (MCS), glenoid bone loss, and increasing rotator cuff tear severity would be associated with lower values for the preoperative total Penn Shoulder Score (PSS) and its pain, function, and satisfaction subscores. We prospectively identified 12 patient factors and 4 disease-specific factors as possible statistical predictors of preoperative PROMs in patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty at a single institution over a 3-year period. Multivariable statistical modeling and Akaike information criterion comparisons were used to investigate the unique associations with, and relative importance of, these factors in accounting for variation in the preoperative PSS and its subscores. A total of 788 cases performed by 12 surgeons met the inclusion criteria, with a preoperative median total PSS of 31 points (pain, 10 points; function, 18 points; and satisfaction, 1 point). As hypothesized, a lower VR-12 MCS was associated with lower preoperative PSS pain, function, and total scores, but patients with intact status or small to medium rotator cuff tears had modestly lower PSS pain subscores (ie, more pain) than patients with large to massive superior-posterior rotator cuff tears. Glenoid bone loss was not associated with the preoperative PSS. Female sex and fewer years of education (for all 4 outcomes), lower VR-12 MCS and preoperative opioid use (for all outcomes but satisfaction), and rotator cuff tear severity (for pain only) were the factors most prominently associated with preoperative PROMs. In addition to mental health status and rotator cuff tear status, patient sex, years of education, and preoperative opioid use were most prominently associated with preoperative PROMs in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty. Further studies are needed to investigate whether these factors will also predict postoperative PROMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Variations in glenoid morphology affect surgical treatment and outcome of advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to assess the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the modified Walch classification using 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging in a multicenter research group. Deidentified preoperative CTs of patients with primary glenohumeral OA undergoing anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) were reviewed with 3D imaging software by 23 experienced shoulder surgeons across 19 institutions. CTs were separated into 2 groups for review: group 1 (96 cases involving all modified Walch classification categories evaluated by 12 readers) and group 2 (98 cases involving posterior glenoid deformity categories [B2, B3, C1, C2] evaluated by 11 readers other than the first 12). Each case group was reviewed by the same set of readers 4 different times (with and without the glenoid vault model present), blindly and in random order. Inter- and intraobserver reliabilities were calculated to assess agreement (slight, fair, moderate, substantial, almost perfect) within groups and by modified Walch classification categories. Interobserver reliability showed fair to moderate agreement for both groups. Group 1 had a kappa of 0.43 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.38, 0.48) with the glenoid vault model absent and 0.41 (95% CI: 0.37, 0.46) with it present. Group 2 had a kappa of 0.38 (95% CI: 0.33, 0.43) with the glenoid vault model absent and 0.37 (95% CI: 0.32, 0.43) with it present. Intraobserver reliability showed substantial agreement for group 1 with (0.63, range 0.47-0.71) and without (0.61, range 0.52-0.69) the glenoid vault model present. For group 2, intraobserver reliability showed moderate agreement with the glenoid vault model absent (0.51, range 0.30-0.72), which improved to substantial agreement with the glenoid vault model present (0.61, range 0.34-0.87). Inter- and intraobserver reliability of the modified Walch classification were fair to moderate and moderate to substantial, respectively, using standardized 3D CT imaging analysis in a large multicenter study. The findings potentially suggest that cases with a spectrum of posterior glenoid bone loss and/or dysplasia can be harder to distinguish by modified Walch type because of a lack of defined thresholds, and the glenoid vault model may be beneficial in determining Walch type in certain scenarios. The ability to reproducibly separate patients into groups based on preoperative pathology, including Walch type, is important for future studies to accurately evaluate postoperative outcomes in TSA patient cohorts.

- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify correction of glenoid deformity and humeral head alignment in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty as a function of preoperative pathology (modified Walch classification) and glenoid implant type in a clinical cohort using 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) analysis. Patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with a standard glenoid (SG) (n = 110) or posteriorly stepped augmented glenoid (AG) (n = 62) component were evaluated with a preoperative CT scan and a postoperative CT scan within 3 months of surgery. Glenoid version, inclination, and medial-lateral (ML) joint line position, as well as humeral head alignment, were assessed on both CT scans, with preoperative-to-postoperative changes analyzed relative to pathology and premorbid anatomy based on the modified Walch classification and glenoid implant type. On average, correction to the premorbid ML joint line position was significantly less in type A2 glenoids than in type A1 glenoids (–2.3 ± 2.1 mm vs. 1.1 ± 0.9 mm, P <.001). Correction to premorbid version was not different between type B2 glenoids with AG components and type A1 glenoids with SG components (–1.7° ± 6.6° vs. –1.0° ± 4.0°, P =.57), and the premorbid ML joint line position was restored on average in both groups (0.3 ± 1.6 mm vs. 1.1 ± 0.9 mm, P =.006). Correction to premorbid version was not different between type B3 glenoids with AG components and type A1 glenoids with SG components (–0.6° ± 5.1° vs. –1.0° ± 4.0°, P =.72), but correction relative to the premorbid ML joint line position was significantly less in type B3 glenoids with AG components than in type A1 glenoids with SG components (–2.2 ± 2.1 mm vs. 1.1 ± 0.9 mm, P <.001). Postoperative humeral glenoid alignment was not different in any group comparisons. In cases with posterior glenoid bone loss and retroversion (type B2 or B3 glenoids), an AG component can better correct retroversion and the glenoid ML joint line position compared with an SG component, with correction to premorbid version comparable to a type A1 glenoid with an SG component. However, restoration of the premorbid ML joint line position may not always be possible with SG or AG components in cases with more advanced central glenoid bone loss (type A2 or B3 glenoids). Further follow-up is needed to determine the clinical consequences of these findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Symptomatic subscapularis (SC) failure after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is difficult to treat. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcomes of reoperation for SC failure. All patients undergoing reoperation for SC failure after TSA were identified from a single-institution database. Patients underwent either revision SC repair or revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty. At a minimum of 1 year after reoperation, complications, reoperations, and functional outcomes were collected. Patients who initially underwent SC repair were significantly younger than patients who underwent revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (mean age, 59.3 years vs. 70.3 years; P =.004), had a better comorbidity profile (mean Charlson Comorbidity Index, 2.2 vs. 3.6; P =.04), and had a more acute presentation (mean time between injury and surgery, 9.1 weeks vs. 28.5 weeks; P =.03). Patients who underwent SC repair also had a significantly higher reoperation rate (52.9% vs. 0.0%, P =.01). At final follow-up, functional outcomes scores and patient satisfaction rates were not significantly different between treatment groups. Decision making on how to treat patients with SC failure following TSA remains challenging and should be individualized to the patient's age, level of activity, comorbidities, timing and mechanism of SC failure, and functional expectations.

- Abstract
To address the need for more objective and quantitative measures of tendon healing in research studies, we intend to use computed tomography (CT) with implanted radiopaque markers on the repaired tendon to measure tendon retraction following rotator cuff repair. In our small prior study, retraction at 1-year follow-up averaged 16.1± 5.3 mm and exceeded 10.0 mm in 12 of 13 patients, and thus tendon retraction appears to be a common clinical phenomenon. This study's objectives were to assess, using 5 longitudinal CT scans obtained over 1 year following rotator cuff repair, the variability in glenohumeral positioning because of pragmatic variations in achieving perfect arm repositioning and to estimate the associated measurement variability in bone-to-tendon marker length measurements.

Rodríguez, José A., Entezari, Vahid, Iannotti, Joseph P., and Ricchetti, Eric T.
- Abstract
With the increasing use of shoulder arthroplasty, surgeons encounter a greater number of primary and revision cases with glenoid deformity, presenting the challenge of avoiding glenoid component malpositioning that can impact patient function and implant longevity. Surgeons can now use preoperative three-dimensional imaging and templating to better understand each patient’s pathology and arrive at the operating room with a clear surgical strategy for implant type, size, and position. With the advent of intraoperative patient-specific instrumentation and navigation, the surgeon also has the means to translate the preoperative plan in the operating room with increased accuracy, thus, decreasing the likelihood of component malposition and its associated complications.

Entezari, Vahid and Lazarus, Mark
- Abstract
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are common in older adults and are associated with increased risk of fragility fractures. Vitamin D deficiency caused by chronic disease, poor nutrition, and inadequate sun exposure affects bone quality. Chronic rotator cuff tears can deteriorate the bone mineral density of the greater tuberosity and have been linked to reduced anchor pullout strength and high re-tear rate after repair especially in older patients with larger tear size. This article summarizes the current evidence on rotator cuff tear and bone quality and provides treatment strategies for rotator cuff repair in patients with poor bone quality.

- Abstract
This study’s purpose was to investigate the extent to which differences among operating surgeons may influence 1-year patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair (RCR) surgery, after controlling for general and disease-specific patient factors. We hypothesized that surgeon would be additionally associated with 1-year PROMs, specifically the baseline to 1-year improvement in Penn Shoulder Score (PSS).

- Abstract
Hypothesis: In this study, we aim to test whether scapular winging results in a significant change in glenohumeral translation in the initial phase of the throwing motion. Methods: Six shoulders underwent an abbreviated throwing motion (ATM) from late cocking to the end of acceleration by use of a validated robotic system. The intact specimens were tested to establish a baseline. The position of the scapula was then affected to simulate scapular winging by placing a cylindrical wedge under the inferior angle of the scapula, and the ATM was performed again. For both conditions, the average glenohumeral translations and scapular rotations were plotted over time to calculate the area under the curve, as a representative of the overall glenohumeral translations and scapular rotations observed during the ATM. Results: Throughout the motion, the winged scapulae showed, on average, 7.7° more upward rotation, 1.6° more internal rotation, and 5.3° more anterior tipping as compared with the baseline. The scapular position relative to the hanging arm was significantly different between the baseline and scapular winging conditions in all arm positions, except for maximal external rotation and the neutral position. Comparing the area under the curve at baseline and with scapular winging indicated that scapular winging significantly increased anterior translation of the glenohumeral joint whereas translation in the superior/inferior and medial/lateral directions did not result in a change in translation. Discussion: These results may suggest a more important role of abnormalities in scapular position in predisposing throwing athletes to shoulder injuries of the anterior capsulolabral structures and consecutive glenohumeral instability.

- Abstract
Purpose: The risk of neurovascular injury is inherent to cross-pin femoral fixation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and has not been evaluated using the anteromedial portal technique; therefore, we determined a safe zone of cross-pin drill angles. Methods: Five cadaveric midthigh to midknee specimens underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by use of the anteromedial portal to drill the femoral tunnel and a cross-pin femoral fixation system. Guide pins were passed through the femur at −40°, −20°, 0°, and +20°, with 0° being the coronal plane bisecting the femoral shaft, negative angles when the guide pin started posteriorly, and positive angles when the guide pin started anteriorly. Distances between the guide pin and saphenous nerve, femoral artery, and peroneal nerve were measured. The neurovascular structures were considered safe if the guide pin did not pass within 10 mm of the structures. Results: The mean distance from pin to saphenous nerve was 74, 61, 21, and 24 mm at −40°, −20°, 0°, and +20°, respectively; pin to femoral artery was 100, 85, 59, and 51 mm, respectively; and pin to peroneal nerve was 40, 50, 65, and 76 mm, respectively. The safe zone for the saphenous nerve was violated at 0° and +20° in 2 of 5 knees, and the safe zone for the femoral artery was violated at +20° in 2 of 5 knees. Conclusions: We have shown that a 20° safe zone of rotational angles about the axis of the femoral tunnel, from −40° to −20°, minimizes the risk of damage to the saphenous nerve, femoral artery, and peroneal nerve. Clinical Relevance: Intraoperative guide-pin angle measurement can be made in reference to the coronal plane of the femur to guide safe drilling of the TransFix guide pin (Arthrex, Naples, FL).

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the hierarchical arrangement of structural properties in cortical and trabecular bone and to determine a mathematical model that accurately predicts the tissue's mechanical properties as a function of these indices. By using a variety of analytical techniques, we were able to characterize the structural and compositional properties of cortical and trabecular bones, as well as to determine the suitable mathematical model to predict the tissue's mechanical properties using a continuum micromechanics approach. Our hierarchical analysis demonstrated that the differences between cortical and trabecular bone reside mainly at the micro- and ultrastructural levels. By gaining a better appreciation of the similarities and differences between the two bone types, we would be able to provide a better assessment and understanding of their individual roles, as well as their contribution to bone health overall.
