Objective: to determine the surgical indications for glenoid bone grafting associated with better postoperative ranges of motion.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA. The included studies were subdivided according to the criteria used to indicate glenoid bone graft surgery: group for radiological indications only (Group R), group for radiological indications associated with clinical indications (Group R + C), and group for arthroscopic indications (Group A).
This study presented a pioneering investigation of the changes in the magnetic resonance imaging images of pectoralis major muscle (PMM) tendon rupture. In all, 26 men were evaluated with acute total PMM rupture (<3 months since injury) with a mean age of 37.3 years (SD = 9.

Upper-limb injuries have a lower incidence rate than lower-limb injuries but can still cause absenteeism and performance impairment in football players. This descriptive epidemiological study aimed to evaluate and compare the epidemiological data on shoulder injuries among professional football players in two major Brazilian football championships.

Treatment has also evolved significantly in the last 20 years. However, simultaneous bilateral rupture has only been described in a few cases.

Objective: To assess the level of satisfaction of patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure in outpatient settings (day hospital) compared with inpatient settings.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate upper limb injuries in professional soccer athletes during two major Brazilian championships from 2016 to 2019.
- It analyzed data from 3,828 matches, identifying 169 upper limb injuries, primarily affecting forwards and particularly the shoulder, with an average recovery time of 19.1 days.
- The findings indicated a significant correlation between player position and injury location, while goalkeepers faced the longest recovery times and surgical treatment was linked to extended recovery periods.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine the optimal screw clamping force and placement for Latarjet surgery, which has previously faced various complications.
- Through finite element analysis, researchers tested different screw positions and configurations, establishing that screws located at least 7 mm from the coracoid edge provide the best outcomes.
- The introduction of a fixation plate instead of a flat washer resulted in enhanced safety and increased compression forces, affirming the importance of screw positioning and surgical hardware in improving outcomes.
Background: Although there is a low incidence of shoulder instability in women, this population is still representative and is often associated with lower rates of return to sports. Few studies have evaluated the results of the Latarjet procedure in this population.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of female athletes who underwent the Latarjet procedure between 2013 and 2018.
To evaluate the muscular strength of the internal (IR) and external (ER) rotators of the shoulder after Bristow/Latarjet surgery. Cross-sectional study with 18 patients (36 shoulders). The isokinetic evaluation was performed using the Biodex 3 System Pro dynamometer (Biodex Medical System, Inc.

Before studying the treatment of these shoulder injuries, it is paramount that health professionals have an understanding of the etiology of and the underlying mechanisms for shoulder pathologies. The act of overhead throwing is an eloquent full-body motion that requires tremendous coordination from the time of force generation to the end of the pitch.

- * Chronic cases have a worse outlook due to muscle shortening and tendon retraction, complicating surgical repair that may require grafts.
- * A study involving four patients showed that using an autologous graft from the semitendinosus tendon for reconstruction is a straightforward and effective surgical option for chronic distal biceps injuries.
Background: The middle genicular artery (MGA) is responsible for the blood supply to the cruciate ligaments and synovial tissue. Traumatic sports injuries and surgical procedures (open and arthroscopic) can cause vascular damage. Little attention has been devoted to establish safe parameters for the MGA.

Methods: Nineteen fresh unpaired adult human cadaveric knees, with no macroscopic degenerative or traumatic changes, were used in this study. Microscopic evaluation was performed by analysis of H&E, CD-34, and S-100 staining.
