Article Synopsis
- This study assesses how bony lesions affect shoulder dislocation recurrence among patients under 50 years old.
- A total of 92 participants were followed for about two years, revealing that 24% experienced recurrence, with 39% showing glenoid lesions and 95% humeral lesions.
- Results indicate that the only strong predictor of recurrence is being younger than 20, with no significant difference in recovery outcomes depending on the presence of bony lesions.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic anterior shoulder instability is prevalent among young athletes who require effective recovery for returning to sports, and the arthroscopic Trillat technique has shown promising 2-year outcomes in stabilization and function.
- In a study involving 74 patients treated with this method, dislocation recurred in only 3 individuals (4.1%), while all participants successfully returned to sports within an average of 4.6 months.
- Functional scores were high across the board, indicating successful outcomes; moreover, there were no significant differences in results among athletes categorized by varying risks of dislocation.
Introduction: Several studies have reported a strength deficit in internal rotation (IR) following a Latarjet procedure, which can persist for months or even years. The arthroscopic Trillat procedure does not require splitting the subscapularis muscle, potentially making it less damaging.
Hypothesis: The arthroscopic Trillat procedure does not cause any atrophy or strength deficit in the subscapularis muscle.
Does combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction improve return to sport?

Purpose: Only 50-65% of patients return to their previous sporting level after ACL rupture. The literature reports a reduced rate of graft rupture when an anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) is associated with ACL reconstruction. ACL reconstruction combined with ALL allows a higher return to sport at pre-injury level than isolated reconstruction in patients playing pivot-contact sports.

- The study analyzes the microorganisms involved in prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) over ten years, categorizing them based on the timing of infection occurrence.
- Staphylococci, particularly S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci, were the most prevalent pathogens, with significant methicillin resistance observed, while Gram-negative bacilli and streptococci were also noted.
- The research recommends specific empirical antimicrobial treatments, highlighting the effectiveness of imipenem-vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam-vancomycin, while stressing the importance of understanding local infection patterns for tailored treatment approaches.
