Recurrent dislocation is not common in small joints. This report presents a new case of chronic recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger in which soft tissue injuries have a role in the dislocation. The patient was a 23 years old man who had referred to our center because of recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of his right ring finger during spor...

Introduction: Shoulder dislocations are a very common entity in routine orthopaedic practice. Chronic unreduced anterior dislocations of the shoulder are not very common. Neurological and vascular complications may occur as a result of an acute anterior dislocation of the shoulder or after a while in chronic unreduced shoulder dislocation. Open reduction is indicated for most chronic shoulder d...

The surgical techniques applied to recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, especially in hard working patients, must reconstruct a stable shoulder joint with a good range of motion, which will not re-dislocate, so the patients can return to their hardworking duties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of open Bankart repairs with suture anchors, in high-demand sportsmen an...

Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation produces injury to the anterior glenohumeral ligament complex. Most commonly, this capsuloligamentous complex is torn off the anteroinferior glenoid neck (Bankart lesion). Creation of a humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligaments (HAGL lesion) is a much less common pathological result. Failure to identify and appropriately treat this entity frequently ...

The relationship between the number of shoulder dislocations and the depth and percent of head involvement of the Hill-Sachs lesions was investigated in this study. Thirty patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder were divided into three groups according to the numbers of dislocations they had presented: Group 1: 1 to 5 dislocations ; Group 2: 6 to 20; Group 3: over 20. The m...

background:   to assess the outcome of the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method in patients with anterior shoulder dislocation associated with hill-sachs lesion.     methods:   ten patients with anterior shoulder dislocations and hill-sachs lesions were entered into this study and were operated on by the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method. they were followed up 22 months after surgery...

Little attention has been focused on the most common risk factors for post-operative glenohumeral arthropathy in patients undergoing open and arthroscopic stabilization. We performed a literature search using Medline, Cochrane and Google Scholar using the keywords: 'Shoulder instability surgery' in combination with 'glenohumeral osteoarthrosis', 'recurrent shoulder dislocation' in combination w...
