High degree of consensus on diagnosis and management of rotator cuff tears: a Delphi approach.

Purpose: To develop a consensus on diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff tears. The study focused on selected areas: imaging, prognostic factors, treatment options, surgical techniques.

Methods: Panel was composed of all members of the shoulder committee of the Italian Society of Arthroscopy, Knee, Upper arm, Sport, Cartilage and Orthopedic techniques (SIAGASCOT).

Arthroscopic Hill-Sachs Filling Technique Using an Absorbable Interference Screw.

We present an arthroscopic technique used to treat traumatic shoulder instability in the patient with a Hill-Sachs lesion, especially an off-track lesion. The incidence of this bony defect is approximately 40% to 90% of all anterior shoulder instability cases-and up to 100% in patients with recurrent anterior instability. Incorrect management of this humeral bone defect can lead to treatment failure, and it is essential to define characteristics such as the lesion's location, depth, width, and orientation.
