KOLOA, Hawaii — In this video from Orthopedics Today Hawaii, Julie Y. Bishop, MD, spoke about using a biceps tendon graft for anterior cable reconstruction in patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Published results showed rotator cuff rehabilitation exercises supervised by a physical therapist in the clinic may more effectively reduce pain and improve range of motion vs. self-performed therapy at home.

Posterior glenohumeral joint instability, while less common than anterior instability, presents its own unique set of challenges – first in diagnosis, but also in nonsurgical and surgical management.

WASHINGTON — Results presented here showed that an inferior sagittal position of a Hill-Sachs lesion may be associated with increased failure risk of primary arthroscopic Bankart repair.

Sternoclavicular joint injury is rare and accounts for about 3% of all shoulder girdle injuries. Due to the strong support of the surrounding ligamentous structures, dislocation requires a large force.

Compared with shoulder surgeons, results showed trauma surgeons had a more aggressive approach to rehabilitation with regard to time to weight-bearing status and passive range of motion after operative repair of proximal humerus fractures.

Use of perioperative acetaminophen significantly decreased overall opioid consumption and improved pain control following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, according to results.
