Beach-Chair Versus Lateral Decubitus Positioning for Primary Arthroscopic Anterior Shoulder Stabilization: A Consecutive Series of 641 Shoulders.

Background: There are limited data comparing the beach-chair (BC) versus lateral decubitus (LD) position for arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization.

Purpose: To identify predictors of instability recurrence and revision after anterior shoulder stabilization and evaluate surgical position and glenoid bone loss as independent predictors of recurrence and revision at short- and midterm follow-ups.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

In-Season Management of Shoulder Instability: How to Evaluate, Treat, and Safely Return to Sport.

Purpose Of Review: Anterior glenohumeral instability is a common injury in contact and collision athletes, and in-season management remains a controversial topic.

Recent Findings: Several recent studies have examined non-operative and operative management of in-season athletes after instability events. Non-operative treatment is associated with faster return to play and higher rates of recurrent instability.

Implementation and evaluation of a student scholarship program to increase care initiatives in rural pharmacies.

Introduction: Availability of patient care services in rural areas is often lacking, which can reduce access to care for patients living in these areas. Patient care within community pharmacies is vital to care access in rural areas, but expanding pharmacy services can often be challenging. Pharmacy students, especially those on advanced pharmacy practice experiences, are positioned to make an impact on sites.

Risk Factors for Readmission following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors for readmission after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to determine costs associated with readmission. Using a private insurance claims' database, we identified patients who underwent ACL reconstruction from 2010 to 2015 using the International Classification of Diseases, Version 9 (ICD-9) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Univariate analysis was performed on demographic data, surgical characteristics, and comorbidities.

Recurrent Instability and Surgery Are Common After Nonoperative Treatment of Posterior Glenohumeral Instability in NCAA Division I FBS Football Players.

Background: In-season return to play after anterior glenohumeral instability is associated with high rates of recurrent instability and the need for surgical stabilization. We are not aware of previous studies that have investigated in-season return to play after posterior glenohumeral instability; furthermore, as posterior shoulder instability in collision athletes occurs frequently, understanding the expected outcome of in-season athletes may improve the ability of physicians to provide athletes with a better understanding of the expected outcome of their injury and their ability to return to sport.

Questions/purposes: (1) What proportion of athletes returned to play during the season after posterior instability in collegiate football players? (2) How much time did athletes lose to injury, what proportion of athletes opted to undergo surgery, and what proportion of athletes experienced recurrent instability after a posterior instability episode during a collegiate football season?

Methods: A multicenter, prospective, observational study of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision athletes was performed at three US Military Service Academies.
