The risk factors for recurrent instability (RI) following a primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation (PTASD) remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine the rate of RI in a large cohort of patients managed nonoperatively after PTASD and to develop a clinical prediction model. A total of 1,293 patients with PTASD managed nonoperatively were identified from a trauma database (mean age 23.3 years (15 to 35); 14.3% female). We assessed the prevalence of RI, and used multivariate regression modelling to evaluate which demographic- and injury-related factors were independently predictive for its occurrence.Aims
Methods
The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for recurrent instability of the shoulder and assess the ability to return to sport in patients with engaging Hill-Sachs lesions treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair and Hill-Sachs remplissage (ABR-HSR). This retrospective study included 133 consecutive patients with a mean age of 30 years (14 to 69) who underwent ABR-HSR; 103 (77%) practiced sports before the instability of the shoulder. All had large/deep, engaging Hill-Sachs lesions (Calandra III). Patients were divided into two groups: A (n = 102) with minimal or no (< 10%) glenoid bone loss, and B (n = 31) with subcritical (10% to 20%) glenoid loss. A total of 19 patients (14%) had undergone a previous stabilization, which failed. The primary endpoint was recurrent instability, with a secondary outcome of the ability to return to sport.Aims
Methods
Objectives. A variety of operative techniques have been described as under
the term ‘Bristow-Latarjet’ procedure. This review aims to define
the original procedure, and compare the variation in techniques
described in the literature, assessing any effect on clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods. A systematic review of 24 studies was performed to compare specific
steps of the technique (coracoid osteotomy site, subscapularis approach,
orientation and position of coracoid graft fixation and fixation
method, additional labral and capsular repair) and detect any effect
this variability had on outcomes. Results. Overall recurrence rate was 5.36% (2.94% to 43%). Half of the
studies performed the procedure for recurrent shoulder instability,
with only five studies documenting glenoid bone loss as an indication:
12 studies used the procedure as the primary surgical intervention
for recurrent instability. No change in outcome was noted when examining variation
in the coracoid osteotomy site, the fixation site on the scapular
neck, the fixation method or whether a capsular repair was also
performed. Performing a horizontal split in subscapularis may preserve
external rotation compared with performing a tenotomy. Conclusions. This is the first review to examine various operative techniques
