Arthroscopic Bankart repair versus arthroscopic Latarjet for anterior shoulder instability in adolescents.

Aims: The Bankart and Latarjet procedures are two of the most common surgical techniques to treat anterior shoulder instability with satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes. However, the outcomes in the adolescent population remain unclear, and there is no information regarding the arthroscopic Latarjet in this population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the arthroscopic Bankart and arthroscopic Latarjet procedures in the management of anterior shoulder instability in adolescents.

Unilateral-access vs. bilateral-access in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A slim fit approach.

Background: Vascular complications remain prevalent on transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR) with a significant proportion related to the secondary arterial access. We hypothesized that placing the second sheath ipsilateral and distal to the delivery sheath could reduce vascular complications with similar safety and efficacy.

Objectives: Comparing vascular complications and clinical outcomes when placing the secondary arterial sheath in the ipsilateral (unilateral-access) versus in the contralateral (bilateral-access) femoral artery during TF-TAVR.

Critical Shoulder Angle in Patients With Cuff Tears.

Objective: The pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears (RCTs) is multifactorial. Critical shoulder angle (CSA), which represents the lateral extension of the acromion over the cuff, has been proposed as an extrinsic risk factor. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the available literature regarding the correlation between RCT and CSA.

Long-Term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes After Bryan Cervical Disk Arthroplasty: A Systematic Literature Review.

Introductionː Cervical disk arthroplasty is a potential alternative procedure to anterior cervical decompression and fusion for the treatment of cervical disk disease. The aim of the study was to perform a systematic literature review on long-term clinical and radiological outcomes after Bryan cervical disk arthroplasty.Material and Methodsː A systematic literature review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines via PubMed and Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library database by using the following keywords: "Bryan prosthesis"; "cervical disk arthroplasty"; "outcomes"; and "long-term follow-up.

Vertebral Candidiasis, the State of the Art: A Systematic Literature Review.

Objective: In recent years, Candida spondylodiscitis has represented an increasingly emerging disease in clinical practice. This condition requires long-term antibiotic therapy and sometimes surgical treatments. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the epidemiology, clinical and radiological aspects, treatment protocols, and outcomes of Candida-mediated vertebral osteomyelitis.
