Risk factors for recurrence after Latarjet procedure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg
November 2024
Background: The risk factors associated with recurrent instability following Latarjet procedure remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review to elucidate risk factors contributing to therapeutic failure after the Latarjet procedure.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase databases based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- Glenohumeral instability involves complex issues related to bony, labral, and capsular tissues, with varying rates of capsular injuries, highlighted by unclear clinical significance.
- A systematic review of studies from 2008 to 2023 found that the inferior glenohumeral ligament injuries were the most common (34.1%), while humeral avulsions were the least common (6.2%).
- The conclusion indicates that while capsular injuries are prevalent in MRI scans of patients with shoulder instability, there's a need for more research to better understand their clinical impacts and rehabilitation methods.
Risk factors for recurrence following arthroscopic Bankart repair: a systematic review.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- A study systematically reviewed literature to identify and quantify risk factors for recurrent instability following arthroscopic Bankart repair, aiming to reach a consensus on these factors.
- The analysis included 111 studies with over 19,000 patients, revealing a higher recurrence rate in younger patients (<20 years) and associations with glenoid bone loss and specific lesion types.
- Findings suggested that factors like age, the presence of an off-track Hill-Sachs lesion, and the number of anchors used in the repair could significantly influence the likelihood of recurrent instability post-surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the complexities of glenohumeral joint instability, highlighting high surgical failure rates and the unclear role of capsular pathology.
- A systematic review of research from 2008 to 2023 identified 14 articles on glenohumeral capsule measurements in unstable patients, revealing significant variability in measurement techniques.
- The authors emphasize the need for standardized measurement methods to enhance cross-study analysis and improve patient outcomes in the context of glenohumeral instability.
Complications following arthroscopic Bankart repair: a systematic review.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg
February 2024
Background: Complications are rare after arthroscopic Bankart repair, and as a result, there is a lack of guidance over rates of complications that can be used to consent patients. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the literature to assess the complications after arthroscopic Bankart repair, other than recurrent instability.
Methods: A literature search of MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
