Article Synopsis
- Contact and collision athletes are at a higher risk for shoulder instability after surgery, with the Latarjet procedure being commonly used to address these issues, despite concerns about complications and the potential for additional surgeries.
- This study evaluated the success of a modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using suture buttons, showing that 98% of patients achieved shoulder stability, and 82% were able to return to their sports.
- The study involved 136 athletes with a follow-up of around 60 months, revealing a high satisfaction rate and no significant complications related to the surgical technique used.
Article Synopsis
- The Latarjet procedure, although refined with arthroscopic surgery, still faces long-term complications and OA rates due to issues with bone block fixation using screws, prompting a study on the suture button technique.* -
- This study reviewed the outcomes of 65 patients who underwent the arthroscopic Bristow-Latarjet procedure with suture button fixation over a minimum 10-year follow-up, assessing complications, patient-reported outcomes, and imaging results.* -
- Findings showed a high success rate with 94% of shoulders maintaining stability post-surgery, and a majority of patients (68%) continued participating in sports at the same level, with no severe complications noted.*
The therapeutic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (bmMSCs) to address heart failure needs improvement for better engraftment and survival. This study explores the role of metabolic sorting for human bmMSCs in coculture in vitro and on doxorubicin-induced heart failure mice models. Using functional, epigenetic, and gene expression approaches on cells sorted for mitochondrial membrane potential in terms of their metabolic status, we demonstrated that bmMSCs selected for their glycolytic metabolism presented proliferative advantage and resistance to oxidative stress thereby favoring cell engraftment.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of tibial stem on postoperative pain and aseptic loosening at the tibia in patients with a preoperative deformity > 10° in the frontal plane at 2 years follow-up.
Methods: This was a retrospective single-center case-control study.
