Athletes with primary glenohumeral instability demonstrate lower rates of bone loss than those with recurrent instability and failed prior stabilization.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the preoperative magnetic resonance arthrography findings in patients who underwent glenohumeral stabilization with a history of primary instability, recurrent instability, or failed stabilization.

Methods: All patients who presented with glenohumeral instability and underwent stabilization performed by a single surgeon in our institution between 2008 and 2020 were considered for inclusion in this study. The magnetic resonance arthrography findings of all patients were recorded.

Ankle conFUSION: The quality and readability of information on the internet relating to ankle arthrodesis.

Background: The internet is an important source of information for patients undergoing surgery. Multiple studies have identified inappropriately high reading levels of patient information online. The average reading level in the United States is 7-8th grade.
