Shoulder Instability
Arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction may be effective for recurrent instability
SAN FRANCISCO — Arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction may be a safe and effective option for the treatment of recurrent instability with subcritical bone loss, according to results presented here.
Remplissage may augment arthroscopic labral repairs for anterior shoulder instability
Anterior shoulder instability is a common shoulder pathology, occurring in 1% to 2% of the general population. This instability is caused by injuries to the labrum or capsuloligamentous structures, which normally stabilize the joint.
Speaker: Arthroscopic bone blocks may be the future of shoulder instability treatment
WAILEA, Hawaii — Arthroscopic bone blocks may eventually surpass Latarjet and remplissage as the preeminent bone grafting technique for shoulder instability, according to data presented here.
Bankart repair with remplissage may benefit patients with recurrent shoulder instability
WAILEA, Hawaii — Young, active athletes with recurrent shoulder instability and bone loss may benefit from undergoing an arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage, according to a presenter here.
VIDEO: Ahmad discusses four components of shoulder instability in baseball players
WAILEA, Hawaii — At Orthopedics Today Hawaii, Christopher S. Ahmad, MD, spoke about shoulder instability in throwing athletes and baseball players.
Younger patient age, revision may predict failure after anterior shoulder stabilization
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Results showed patients with anterior shoulder instability had a 6.1% dislocation rate and a 19.6% subluxation rate 2 years after surgery, with younger patients and revised patients having increased risks for failure.
Several factors defined as optimal outcomes after anterior shoulder instability surgery
WASHINGTON — Results showed the optimal observed outcome after anterior shoulder instability surgery included minimal postoperative pain, absence of recurrent instability and osteoarthritis, low revision rates and increased range of motion.
Failed labral repair associated with lower acromial tilt, higher posterior acromial height
WASHINGTON — Patients with shoulder instability who failed primary posterior labral repair had lower acromial tilt and higher posterior acromial height than patients with successful primary repair, according to results presented here.
Distance to dislocation may be indicator of recurrent instability following Latarjet
WASHINGTON — Results presented here showed that distance-to-dislocation may be a stronger prognostic indicator of recurrent instability than glenoid bone loss following Latarjet.
Nearly half of patients failed nonoperative management for posterior shoulder instability
NEW ORLEANS — Data presented at the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting showed that nearly half of the patients who underwent 6 months of nonoperative management for isolated posterior shoulder instability failed.
