Primary outcome measures were shoulder pain on the visual analog scale and active shoulder forward flexion and abduction, while secondary outcome measures included patient satisfaction, procedure complications, and reoperations. The Wilcoxon signed rank exact test was used to compare preoperative and postoperative clinical data.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Data from 18 shoulders in 16 patients, average age 74 years, were analyzed. The standard 28-mm-sized baseplate with longer and wider central peg was implanted in 12 of 18 reconstructions. Bone graft augmentation of the glenoid was required in 4 of 6 cases when the 25-mm mini baseplate was used. Clinical evaluation of 13 patients (15 shoulders) with an average of 5 (range, 2-10) years after surgery showed statistically significant improvements in median visual analog scale shoulder pain score decreasing from 7 to 0 (<em>P</em> < .001), median active shoulder forward flexion increasing from 90° to 140° (<em>P</em> < .001), and median active shoulder abduction increasing from 60° to 125° (<em>P</em> < .001). In 14 of 15 cases, the patient was satisfied with the outcome. There were minor complications in 2 cases (13%), but there were no major complications or reoperations.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>In patients with symptomatic TSA from component failure, shoulder instability, or rotator cuff insufficiency, single-stage revision to RSA for those with contained glenoid bone defects is a reliable salvage option to reduce shoulder pain and improve shoulder motion. At a mean 5-year follow-up, we observed 100% implant survival in 15 cases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39885,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Arthroplasty","volume":"34 2","pages":"Pages 442-450"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104545272400021X/pdfft?md5=78357ed03a441a0b8edb7ceb88d70d05&pid=1-s2.0-S104545272400021X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139966397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inherent to this platform, there are no quality control measures to monitor this content. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality and popularity of videos on shoulder arthroplasty on YouTube, using both previously described scores and a proposed novel shoulder arthroplasty–specific score assessing educational content.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>A search was performed using the keywords “shoulder arthroplasty” and “shoulder replacement” on YouTube. Videos were sorted by relevance and the first 50 videos for each keyword were included in a playlist. The videos in the playlist were then sorted by popularity and the first 50 were included for analysis. Videos in a non-English language, duplicate videos, or those lacking audio were excluded. Video source, content, time since upload, duration, like and dislike count, were inputted for analysis. The view ratio and video power index were used to assess for popularity. Quality, reliability and educational content were evaluated with the Global Quality Score (GQS), <em>Journal of the American Medical Association</em> (JAMA), and the novel Shoulder Arthroplasty Video Content (SAVC) score, respectively.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The 50 videos had an average of 285,375 views and a mean duration of 10.8 minutes. Video content was comprised of primarily surgical technique (46%) and patient experience (44%), with most of the videos uploaded from university-affiliated physicians (30%), non-affiliated physicians (28%), and medical (i.e., animations from health websites) (26%) sources. Mean GQS (i.e., quality) and JAMA (i.e., reliability) scores for all videos were 3.2 ± 1.2 out of 5 and 2.4 ± 1.4 out of 4, respectively. Median GQS was comparable across sources, content, and procedure type. Although median JAMA scores were similar among procedure and content type, academic and medical sources showed significantly higher scores among video source categories (<em>P</em> = .04). The mean SAVC score was 19.5 ± 10.7 out of 45 possible points. While there was no significant difference in SAVC scores when categorized by procedure type, a significant difference was observed when assessed by source (<em>P</em> = .02) and content (<em>P</em> = .01). Specifically, medical sources had the highest median score for video source and patient experience for content.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Shoulder arthroplasty videos on YouTube reach a considerable audience, but the educational content and reliability are low. Understanding this can help caution patients on the limitations of educational content on YouTube.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39885,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Arthroplasty","volume":"34 2","pages":"Pages 436-441"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139967154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
