Clinical Studies

Patient Perceptions Regarding Anatomic Versus Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Rochester, Minn.
The aim of this study is to evaluate patient beliefs about the efficacy and outcomes of anatomic versus reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Review Of Posterior Clavicle Dislocation Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to examine trends in incidence and management of patients who had posterior sternoclavicular dislocation or anterior sternoclavicular dislocation injury treated operatively or non-operatively between 1995 – onwards.

Also, to examine the long-term outcomes of patients who had a posterior sternoclavicular dislocation or anterior sternoclavicular dislocation treated operatively or non-operatively with respect to the following outcomes: rate of surgical intervention and trends over time, rate of reoperation or revision, development of non-operative complications following posterior sternoclavicular dislocation or anterior sternoclavicular dislocation, comparison of long-term outcomes (any infection, pain, return to baseline, and non-operative complications) between surgical approaches and non-operative management. Additionally, to evaluate predictive factors associated with differences in long-term outcomes.
Validation of Virtual Evaluation of Shoulder Range of Motion when Compared to Traditional In-Person Evaluation of Shoulder Motion Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to create and test the validity of a telehealth protocol for obtaining shoulder range of motion.

Prospective Comparison of 3- and 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures Undergoing Elected Nonoperative vs. Operative Management Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to compare validated clinical and functional outcomes between patients who acutely present with 3- and 4-part Proximal Humerus Fractures (PHFs) treated nonoperatively or with rTSA. We hypothesize that in displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures, rTSA will have better pain relief and functional outcomes than nonoperative treatment.
Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty versus Nonoperative Treatment of 3 & 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures: A Randomized Prospective Study Rochester, Minn.
This purpose of this study is to answer if patients fair better with non-operative management or reverse total arthroplasty for treatment of 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures.
