Background: A labral injury contributes to glenohumeral instability. The Anterior Labral Circumferential Onlay Technique (ALCOT) reconstructs the labrum using the long head of the biceps tendon.
Hypothesis: The ALCOT would restore glenohumeral joint stability in a cadaveric model without glenoid bone loss (1) comparable to the native state and (2) comparable to the Latarjet procedure.
Article Synopsis
- The study systematically reviews the existing literature on the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction Return to Sport Index (ALR-RSI) scale, focusing on its correlation with returning to sports and functional outcomes after ankle injuries.
- Out of 157 patients analyzed, 85% returned to some form of sport post-surgery, but only about 49% achieved their pre-injury level, highlighting the importance of psychological readiness in recovery.
- The results indicate that the ALR-RSI scale effectively correlates with overall ankle function scores, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for assessing patients' readiness to return to sports after ankle reconstruction.
