BACKGROUND Recurrence of glenohumeral dislocation after arthroscopic Bankart repair can be associated with a large osseous defect in the posterosuperior part of the humeral head. Our hypothesis is that remplissage is more effective to prevent recurrence of glenohumeral instability without a severe motion deficit. METHODS Engaging Hill-Sachs lesions were observed in 48 of 737 patients (6.5%). ...

BACKGROUND Conservative treatment of posttraumatic anteroinferior shoulder instability leads to a high failure rate and consequently high recurrence in young and active population. Each recurrence can increase the structural damage of both bony structures and soft tissues (Hill-Sachs lesion, Bankart lesion). Remplissage technique combined with Bankart repair have been proposed as a treatment op...

BACKGROUND Numerous surgical options for the management of engaging Hill-Sachs lesions exist, of which remplissage has emerged as one of the most popular arthroscopic techniques. Remplissage is not without disadvantages, however, and has been demonstrated to potentially result in a loss of external rotation (ER) due to nonanatomic tethering of the infraspinatus tendon and a potential decrease i...

In response to recent concerns about the accuracy of suture passage during arthroscopic remplissage, this study was conducted to determine whether a previously described "safe zone" technique can improve the accuracy of suture passage. A recommended safe zone technique was used for arthroscopic remplissage on 6 cadaveric specimens. The safe zone was described as a region at least 1 cm lateral a...

Résumé— Cet article traite le problème de l’optimisation des requêtes par intervalles, qui jouent un rôle important dans le domaine des bases de données multidimensionnelles (entrepôts de données, Systèmes d’information Géographique). Les techniques classiques teltes que les Grid Files, les R-trees, les R*-trees, ... reposent sur une partition de l’espace de données selon plusieurs axes, ce qui...
