We report the clinical results of glenoid osteotomy in patients
with atraumatic posteroinferior instability associated with glenoid
dysplasia. The study reports results in 211 patients (249 shoulders) with
atraumatic posteroinferior instability. The patients comprised 63
men and 148 women with a mean age of 20 years. The posteroinferior
glenoid surface was elevated by osteotomy at the scapular neck.
A body spica was applied to maintain the arm perpendicular to the
glenoid for two weeks postoperatively. Clinical results were evaluated
using the Rowe score and Japan Shoulder Society Shoulder Instability
Score (JSS-SIS); bone union, osteoarthrosis, and articular congruity
were examined on plain radiographs.Aims
Patients and Methods
The factors that predispose to recurrent instability and revision
stabilization procedures after arthroscopic Bankart repair for anterior
glenohumeral instability remain unclear. We sought to determine
the rate and risk factors associated with ongoing instability in
patients undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair for instability
of the shoulder. We used the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System
(SPARCS) database to identify patients with a diagnosis of anterior
instability of the shoulder undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair
between 2003 and 2011. Patients were followed for a minimum of three
years. Baseline demographics and subsequent further surgery to the ipsilateral
shoulder were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was used to identify
independent risk factors for recurrent instability.Aims
