Anterior Shoulder Instability In Patients Older Than 40 Years Treated With Arthroscopic Bankart Repair.

Introduction: Anterior shoulder instability in adults over the age of 40 is frequently managed non-operatively. There is limited published evidence for the surgical management of these patients. This study aims to assess the risk of recurrence and functional outcomes in older adults after Arthroscopic Bankart Repair (ARB).

Native nephrectomies in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: retrospective cohort study.

Background: Approximately 1 in 5 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) will undergo a native nephrectomy in their lifetime. These can be emergent or planned and the indications can range from space for kidney transplant, pain, hematuria and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Due to the diverse nature of presentations, there is a lack of certainty about outcomes and optimal management.

A bibliometric analysis of HER2-positive breast cancer: 1987-2024.

Aim: The overamplification of human epidermal growth factor (HER2) in breast cancer (BC) has been the subject of numerous research publications since its discovery in 1987. This is the first bibliometric analysis (BA) conducted on HER2-positive (HER2+) BC. The purpose of this BA is to analyze the published research on HER2+ BC from 1987 to 2024, highlighting the most significant scientific literature, as well as the main contributing authors and journals, and evaluating the impact of clinical and lab-based publications on HER2+ BC research.

Long-term outcomes of anterior shoulder instability treated with open latarjet procedure - a systematic review of outcomes at a minimum 15-year follow-up.

Background: To systematically review the literature to evaluate the outcomes following an open Latarjet (OL) procedure at a minimum 15-year follow-up.

Methods: Two independent reviewers performed a literature search using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines using 3 databases. Only studies reporting outcomes of OL procedure with a minimum of 15 years of follow-up were included.

Young Collision Athletes Have High Rate of Return to Play and Good Clinical Outcomes Following Open Latarjet Procedure.

Purpose: To evaluate return to play (RTP), clinical outcomes, and recurrence rates in collision athletes 20 years of age and younger who underwent open Latarjet for anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: A retrospective review of collision athletes 20 years of age and younger, who underwent an open Latarjet procedure by a single surgeon between the years of 2010-2020 was carried out. Inclusion criteria were 1) collision athlete, 2) underwent open Latarjet procedure, 3) 16-20 years old, and 4) minimum 24-month follow-up.

Posterior Shoulder Instability but Not Anterior Shoulder Instability Is Related to Glenoid Version.

Purpose: To assess and compare glenoid version in patients with anterior shoulder instability (ASI), posterior shoulder instability (PSI), and a control group.

Methods: The operative notes of all patients that had undergone arthroscopic shoulder instability repair between January 2017 and May 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Magnetic resonance imaging scans were then analyzed, and glenoid version was measured by a single blinded observer.

Return to Play After Surgical Treatment for Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation: A Systematic Review.

Background: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common clinical problem among young and athletic populations. Surgical management is widely used for high-grade dislocations (Rockwood III-VI) and in high-demand athletes at high risk of recurrence.

Purpose: To systematically review the evidence in the literature to ascertain the rate and timing of return to play (RTP) and the availability of specific criteria for safe RTP after surgical treatment for AC joint dislocation.

Return to play in paediatric & adolescent patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Background: There is an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and subsequent ACL reconstruction in patients <18 years old due to their high levels of sporting participation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the rate and timing of return to play (RTP) in paediatric and adolescent patients following ACL reconstruction, and to compare the outcomes between those undergoing ACL reconstruction with bone patella tendon bone autograft (BTB) and hamstring tendon (HT) autograft.

Study Design: Level of Evidence: Level III; Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study.

Type V superior labral anterior-posterior tears results in lower rates of return to play.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of return to play (RTP) in patients who underwent Type V superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) repair compared to patients who underwent isolated Bankart repair in the setting of traumatic anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair and SLAP repair by a single surgeon between 2012 and 2017 was performed. Additionally, these were pair-matched in a 1:2 ratio for age, sex, sport and level of pre-operative play, with those undergoing isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair alone as a control group.

Outcomes following arthroscopic Bankart repair in female patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes and recurrence among women who have undergone an arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients with anterior shoulder instability that have undergone an arthroscopic Bankart repair between 2012-2017 was performed. Patients were followed up to assess their visual analog scale (VAS) score, Rowe score, Shoulder Instability-Return to Sport after Injury (SIRSI), and the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) and their satisfaction level.
