Aims: The Bankart and Latarjet procedures are two of the most common surgical techniques to treat anterior shoulder instability with satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes. However, the outcomes in the adolescent population remain unclear, and there is no information regarding the arthroscopic Latarjet in this population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the arthroscopic Bankart and arthroscopic Latarjet procedures in the management of anterior shoulder instability in adolescents.

Article Synopsis
  • * Involving 140 patients with a mean age of 28.5 years, the research found that 95% had synovial or cartilage lesions, with a majority showing mild to moderate severity of OA at the time of surgery.
  • * Key risk factors correlated with more severe OA included older age, younger age at first shoulder dislocation, and a higher number of dislocations, highlighting the importance of these factors in patient assessments.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse clinical, functional and shoulder kinematics results using subacromial balloon spacer in nonreparable massive rotator cuff tears. Subacromial balloon spacer was hypothesised to improve shoulder kinematics and increases clinical and functional outcomes scores in nonreparable massive rotator cuff tears.

Methods: This is a prospective study in massive rotator cuff tears.

Purpose: To determine arthroscopic Bankart repair outcomes and recurrence risk factors at a minimum 5-year follow-up.

Methods: Retrospective assessment of prospectively collected data, single-cohort study of patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with a minimum 5-year follow-up. Demographical and preoperative instability features were collected.
