Shoulder Instability

According to published results, free bone graft transfer and the Latarjet procedure demonstrated clinically similar outcomes for patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss at 5 years.

KOLOA, Hawaii — Characteristics of shoulder instability may be identified by distinct imaging features on MRI, MR arthrography and CT, according to a presenter here.

KOLOA, Hawaii — Launched in 2011, the Multicenter Orthopedic Outcomes Network Shoulder Instability Group, also known as the MOON study group, aimed to determine predictors of failure and poor outcomes after surgery for shoulder instability.

KOLOA, Hawaii — In this video from Orthopedics Today Hawaii, Christopher S. Ahmad, MD, spoke about the use of remplissage in every patient with traumatic shoulder instability.

SAN ANTONIO — Presented results showed the Latarjet procedure yielded positive short-term and long-term outcomes for North American patients with anterior glenohumeral instability.

Published results showed patients from socioeconomic deprived areas may be more likely to miss scheduled physical therapy appointments after arthroscopic labral repair for shoulder instability.

For patients with anterior shoulder instability, revision open Latarjet surgery after failed arthroscopic Bankart repair may yield comparable outcomes vs. primary open Latarjet surgery, according to published results.

DENVER —Lower socioeconomic status may be associated with a higher likelihood of additional dislocation events and recurrent instability prior to shoulder stabilization surgery, according to results presented here.

Published results showed open Bankart repair plus inferior capsular shift had similar functional outcomes and decreased rates of recurrent instability vs. arthroscopic Bankart repair and may be preferred for collision athletes.

SAN FRANCISCO — Bankart repair with remplissage reduces recurrent instability risk in patients with on-track Hill-Sachs shoulder lesions, according to results presented here.
