Random-effects meta-analysis of continuous outcomes using the DerSimonian-Laird method was performed to estimate pooled-treatment effect sizes between the irreparable rotator cuff tear state and the state in which an SBS was implanted. Data reported variably or in formats not amenable to analysis were presented descriptively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Five studies involving 44 cadaveric specimens were included. At 0\u00b0 of shoulder abduction, SBS implantation resulted in a mean inferior humeral head translation of 4.80 mm (95% CI, 3.20-6.40; P &lt; .001) relative to the irreparable rotator cuff tear state. This decreased to 4.39 mm and 4.35 mm at 30\u00b0 and 60\u00b0 of abduction, respectively. At 0\u00b0 of abduction, implantation of an SBS was associated with a 5.01-mm (95% CI, 3.56-6.46, P &lt; .001) anterior translation of the glenohumeral center of contact pressure relative to the irreparable tear state. This translation changed to 5.11 mm and 5.49 mm at 30\u00b0 and 60\u00b0 of abduction. In 2 studies, SBS implantation restored the glenohumeral contact pressure to that of the intact state and significantly reduced subacromial pressure distribution over a rotator cuff repair state. In 1 study, a high balloon fill volume (40 mL) resulted in a significant 10.3 \u00b1 1.4\u2013mm more anterior humeral head position relative to the intact cuff state.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SBS implantation in cadaveric models of irreparable rotator cuff tears results in significant improvements in humeral head position at 0\u00b0, 30\u00b0, and 60\u00b0 of shoulder abduction. Balloon spacers may also improve glenohumeral and subacromial contact pressures, although insufficient evidence currently exists to corroborate these findings. High balloon fill volumes (40 mL) may confer supraphysiologic anteroinferior translation of the humeral head.<\/jats:p>\n
