Editorial Commentary: Failure to Return to Sport Following Latarjet May Be Due to Diverse Causes: Psychological Reasons Are Most Common.

The Latarjet procedure is a successful treatment for anterior shoulder instability with less than 5% having redislocations - revision surgery and prior surgery having been shown to be significant risk factors for recurrence. Approximately 90% of athletes return to play after Latarjet, comparable to arthroscopic Bankart repair. Patients may be physically unable to return to play, which may be due to persistent pain, apprehension, or weakness.

Return to Play After Arthroscopic Superior Labral Repair: A Systematic Review.

Background: Superior labral tears are common shoulder injuries among athletes, and for athletes undergoing surgical intervention, one of the main priorities is to return to preinjury levels of activity in a timely manner. However, the literature surrounding return to play after superior labral repair presents inconsistent results, with limited studies evaluating the timing of return to play.

Purpose: To systematically review the rate and timing of return to play in athletes after arthroscopic superior labral repair.

Mid- to Long-Term Clinical Outcomes and Failure Rates After ALPSA Lesion Repair.

Background: Anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesions are associated with recurrent shoulder instability and higher rates of failure after capsulolabral repair compared with similarly treated Bankart lesions. Although these lesions can portend poor outcomes, there are limited data on the associated conditions and postoperative course in a young, active population.

Purpose: To evaluate the mid- to long-term clinical course and failure rates after ALPSA repairs and assess features associated with these outcomes.

A Machine Learning Prediction Model for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Procedure Duration - An Evaluation of Surgeon, Patient, And Shoulder-Specific Factors.

Background: Operating room (OR) efficiency is of paramount importance for scheduling, cost efficiency and to allow for the high operating volume required to address the growing demand for arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to develop a machine learning predictive model for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) procedure duration and to identify factors which are predictive of a prolonged procedure.

Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of all TSA between 2013-2021 in a large academic institution.

One-Year Follow-Up Is Sufficient Time for Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Rotator Cuff Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: To perform a systematic review to determine whether there were clinically significant differences in patient-reported outcome measures from 1- to 2-year follow-up following rotator cuff repair (RCR).

Methods: A literature search of 3 databases was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on patient-reported outcomes at the 1- and 2-year follow-up following RCR were included.
