CONTEXT It remains unknown if arthroscopic repair of recurrent anterior shoulder instability is as effective as open repair. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to analyze the literature to provide clinical recommendations regarding the most appropriate therapeutic intervention for recurrent anterior shoulder instability. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review of level I and II studies. DATA S...

This paper presents the main surgical techniques applied in the treatment of anterior recurrent shoulder dislocation, aiming the achievement of the normality of articulate movements. This was obtained by combining distinct surgical procedures, which allowed the recovery of a complete functional capacity of the shoulder, without jeopardizing the normality of movement, something that has not been...

Recurrent dislocation of the elbow is uncommon, but in the past three years eighteen cases have been discovered through the cooperation of colleagues in Liverpool, Birmingham and Oswestry. The pathology of this condition has not been well described nor is there a standard method of treatment. A study of the anatomy, mechanism of injury and clinical features suggested that there was a constant c...

Dislocation of the shoulder is the commonest of all large joint dislocations. Inferior dislocation constitutes 0.5% of all shoulder dislocations. It characteristically presents with overhead abduction of the arm, the humerus being parallel to the spine of scapula. We present an unusual case of recurrent luxatio erecta in which the arm transformed later into an adducted position resembling the m...

BACKGROUND Skeletal maturity and age-related changes in the composition of the glenoid labrum and joint capsule may influence rates of recurrent instability in children. We systematically review risk factors which predispose children to recurrent shoulder instability. METHODS The systematic review-concerned studies published before May 2015. Statistical analysis was undertaken to compare rate...

PURPOSE Shoulder dislocation is a common joint dislocation managed by the emergency physicians in the emergency departments. Pre- and post-reduction radiographic examinations have long been the standard practice to confirm the presence of dislocation and the successful reduction. However, shoulder ultrasonography has recently been proposed as an alternative to the radiographic examination. This...

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...

conclusions bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is rare. it could be undiagnosed, especially when there is no clear history of major trauma. by awareness of such unusual possibility, early diagnosis, treatment, and reduction can provide desirable outcome. introduction shoulder dislocation is the most common presentation of joint dislocation in emergency department (ed). bilateral shoulder d...

Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common traumatic event. Younger patients have increased risk for recurrent dislocations. Reduction of shoulder dislocation should be performed in a safe, convenient and patient tailored method. In young athletes with labral tear or with large engaging Hill-Sachs lesion, surgical stabilization should be considered to prevent additional dislocations. In other pa...

Dr. DePalma was the first editor of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, established by the recently formed Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons. The idea of forming the Association of Bone and Joint surgeons had been conceived by Dr. Earl McBride of Oklahoma City in 1947, and organized by a group of twelve individuals (Drs. Earl McBride, Garrett Pipkin, Duncan McKeever, Judson Wilson,...
