Osteolysis at the insertion of L'Episcopo tendon transfer: Incidence and clinical impact.

Introduction: During a L'Episcopo transfer procedure, the tendons of the latissimus dorsi and teres major are reinserted on the posterolateral side of the humeral shaft to restore active external rotation. The aim of this study was to monitor the radiological changes at the insertion point of this transfer and to evaluate its impact on the clinical outcomes.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study, 13 patients (mean age 56 years; 19-84) were reviewed after a minimum follow-up of 2 years.

Evaluation of thirty eight cemented pegged glenoid components with variable backside curvature: two-year minimum follow-up.

Background: The PERFORM™ pegged glenoid system has been used for shoulder arthroplasty since 2012. This system offers multiple backside curvatures per size to better match variable patient anatomy. As a result, less reaming is required and subchondral bone is preserved-a critical factor in preventing glenoid migration and loosening, thus enhancing implant longevity.

Fatty infiltration of stage 1 or higher significantly compromises long-term healing of supraspinatus repairs.

Background: Fatty infiltration (FI) compromises outcomes of rotator cuff repairs. Most clinicians consider FI of the infraspinatus, whether it is torn or intact, because it is most rapidly affected. The purpose of this study was to report long-term outcomes of isolated supraspinatus repairs and to determine their associations with FI of the infraspinatus and supraspinatus.

Periprosthetic shoulder infection: an overview.

Periprosthetic shoulder infection (PSI) is rare but potentially devastating. The rate of PSI is increased in cases of revision procedures, reverse shoulder implants and co-morbidities. One specific type of PSI is the occurrence of low-grade infections caused by non-suppurative bacteria such as or .

Results of arthroscopic Bankart repair with Hill-Sachs remplissage for anterior shoulder instability.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate mid-term outcomes of Bankart repair with Hill-Sachs remplissage (BHSR) and to highlight prognostic factors of failure.

Methods: Thirty-four patients operated on for anterior shoulder instability with BHSR were enrolled in a prospective non-randomised study. Clinical and radiographic evaluation was performed at 1.

Clinical and anatomic results of surgical repair of chronic rotator cuff tears at ten-year minimum follow-up.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term clinical and anatomic results after open rotator cuff repair.

Materials And Method: Fifty-three patients were included in this study. Rotator cuff tears were limited to one tendon in 34, and two tendons or more in 19.

Modified head-neck offset for diagnosing anterior femoro-acetabular impingement.

Purpose: The head-neck offset described by Eijer et al. (eHNO), which is used to diagnose anterior femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI), can be difficult to measure. The aim of this study was to verify if a modified head-neck offset (mHNO) provides more accurate and reproducible values than those of the eHNO.
