Until relatively recently, discussion of shoulder instability referred only to traumatic and recurrent dislocations. Better clinical diagnosis and improved methods of investigation have now led to the recognition of subtle clinical lesions which present with no true dislocation, and show the increasing requirements of patients and sportsmen. Shoulder instability has become a fully-fledged syndr...

Our purpose in this study was to develop a functional form of radiography and to perform a quantitative analysis for the shoulder joint using a dynamic flat panel detector (FPD) system. We obtained dynamic images at a rate of 3.75 frames per second (fps) using an FPD system. Three patients and 5 healthy controls were studied with a clinically established frontal projection, with abduction of th...

BACKGROUND The treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in patients who failed a supervised rehabilitation program is operative stabilization. Anatomical repair addressing the underlying pathology is the preferred method. We hypothesize that Bristow-Latarjet procedure is effective in all types of traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations, although in cases with Bankart lesi...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the results of open Bankart repair versus those of modified Bristow operation in patients with recurrent anterior dislocations of the shoulder, the last of which was caused by a minor trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 38 patients (34 (89.5%) male and 4 (10.5%) female) who presented recurrent dislocation of the shoulders with c...

The main study objective was to determine if experienced emergency physicians can accurately identify a subgroup of patients with anterior shoulder dislocation for whom prereduction radiographs do not alter patient management. Our prospective study evaluated 97 patients who presented to 2 ski-hill clinics and to our rural emergency department with possible shoulder dislocation between November ...

The purpose of the study was to compare the recurrence rate of arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors in collision vs noncollision athletes. Sixty-four patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder stabilization using suture anchors for recurrent anterior dislocation were identified. Forty-three patients (22 collision and 21 noncollision) were evaluated at a minimum 24-month follow-up. ...

Anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is a common injury of young people playing contact sport and may progress to recurrent episodes of symptomatic instability. The usual treatment for a primary dislocation is a short period of immobilisation follo...

Background: To facilitate shoulder reduction and shorten time from shoulder dislocation to reduction, we started in 2014 a protocol for ultrasound-guided interscalene block (UGIB) in pure shoulder dislocation as well as dislocation with greater tuberosity fracture and dislocated shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: Within 30 month, patients with shoulder dislocation, dislocation-fracture or dislocat...

simultaneous dislocation of shoulder and humeral shaft fracture is a rare injury, and there is no clear protocol for its treatment. herein we present a case of a 15-year-old boy, who suffered from a job-related accident and sustained fracture of humeral shaft associated with ipsilateral anterior shoulder dislocation and fracture of greater tuberosity 15 years ago. he received closed reduction o...

Background: The aim of this study was to assess differences in fracture morphology and displacement betweenisolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures (i.e. fractures of the greater tuberosity without other fractures of the proximalhumerus) with and without shoulder dislocation utilizing quantitative 3-dimensional CT imaging.Methods: Thirty-four CT-scans of isolated greater tuberosity fractures ...
