BACKGROUND There is little information on the molecular factors important in healing and changes that occur in the glenoid labrum in response to injury. Using a novel animal model of acute anterior shoulder dislocation, this study characterizes the factors expressed in the glenoid labrum in response to injury and correlates their expression to glenohumeral stability. PURPOSE To study the resp...

The surgical repair of an extensive anterior glenohumeral soft tissue defect is complicated by glenohumeral instability and subsequent significant functional deficit. This surgical note offers a relatively simple reconstruction of the anterior capsule and subscapularis muscle using a pectoralis minor pedicle flap. This reconstruction is supplemented with functional reconstruction of the anterio...

We are presenting the early results of the arthroscopic treatment of the anterior-inferior acute and chronic traumatic instability of the shoulder in a population of young, male patients. In this study 32 patients with symptomatic instability were included. Arthroscopic reattachment of the capsule and the labrum has been performed with 3-5 bone anchors. The follow up ranged between 4 and 15 mon...

INTRODUCTION: The presence of either a Hill-Sachs or a bony Bankart lesion has been indicated as a possible cause of subluxation and anterior shoulder dislocation. Anterior dislocation accounts for approximately 98% of all shoulder dislocations. 2 Common treatments include soft tissue repair, bone grafting, and total shoulder replacement. It has been reported that there is a possibility of recu...

PURPOSE Our aim was to test the validity of using the bare spot method to quantify glenoid bone loss arthroscopically in patients with shoulder instability. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with no evidence of instability (18 males, nine females; mean age 59.1 years) were evaluated arthroscopically to assess whether the bare spot is consistently located at the center of the inferior glenoid. Ano...

Abstract Background Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation is associated with a high risk of instability, reduced functional outcome, and recurrence. We conducted an audit to assess the direct management, review in fracture clinic, definitive imaging patients instability Southport Formby Hospital. Aim To identify compliance 2015 BOA guidelines. Method Identified all from 01/01/2019 31/12/2019 ...

Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common condition that most orthopaedic surgeons will have to deal with in their practice. Nonoperative management of the initial traumatic anterior likely lead recurrent more than 90% cases younger active population. Recurrent can persist even after instability surgery certain cases. A detailed, accurate assessment patient paramount importance for successful t...

BACKGROUND Recurrent anterior shoulder instability after coracoid process transfers may be caused by trauma, sports injury, or technical failure of the index procedure. Surgical techniques vary with regard to graft orientation and positioning and number of screws utilized for fixation. PURPOSE To identify surgical and patient-related factors associated with failure, defined as the need for re...
