Long-term results of arthroscopic repair of type II SLAP lesions in sports: assessment of return to pre-injury playing level and critical risk factors for complication.

Purpose: The management of isolated SLAP lesions is still debated especially in athletes. Aims of the study were: 1. to analyse our algorithm to treat SLAP lesions starting from the selection of patients for surgery and 2.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Augmentation With Xenograft Glenoid Bone Block in Patients With Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiographic outcomes at 2 years for patients who underwent an arthroscopic xenograft bone block procedure plus ASA for recurrent anteroinferior gleno-humeral instability.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on patients affected by chronic anteroinferior shoulder instability. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients must be aged 18 years or older; have recurrent anteroinferior shoulder instability, a glenoid defect >10%, assessment by the Pico area measurement system, anterior capsular insufficiency, and an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion.

Proximal humerus fracture sequelae: are corrective osteotomies still a taboo? The role of three-dimensional preoperative planning and patient-specific surgical guides for proximal humerus corrective osteotomy in combination with reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: Symptomatic proximal humeral fracture sequelae (PHFS) represent a surgical challenge due to the altered bone and soft tissue morphology. The purpose of this study was to report the outcome of Multiplanar Corrective Humeral Osteotomies (MCHOs) in combination with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) performed following a three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning and using a 3D-printed patient-specific surgical instrumentation (PSI) in type 1C, 1D, and 4 PHFS.

Methods: In this prospective monocentric study, we enrolled patients affected by symptomatic PHFS type 1C, 1D, or 4 of Boileau's classification, treated between 2018 and 2019 with rTSA associated to MCHO and followed-up at 12 and 24 mo.

Therapeutic and prognostic predictive value of the Control Volume severity grade on proximal humerus fractures due to bone fragility.

Background: The treatment of proximal humerus fracture complicated by bone fragility is still controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the Neer classification and the Control Volume severity grade for the accuracy in the selection of the type of treatment and for prognostic evaluation.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively collected the records of all patients admitted at the Emergency Department of our Institute, from 2013 to 2020, for a closed displaced proximal humerus fracture further investigated with a CT scan before treatment decision.
