Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the long-term outcomes of the arthroscopic cortical-button Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability, focusing on clinical and radiological results over a minimum 5-year follow-up period with 40 patients involved.
- Results showed that while there was a low recurrence rate of dislocation (7.5%), most patients successfully returned to sports (94.6%) and reported high satisfaction scores (Rowe and Walch-Duplay scores averaged around 87 and 88, respectively).
- Radiological findings indicated 18.7% of patients developed degenerative arthritis, primarily in mild asymptomatic forms, but overall, the procedure was deemed effective with 72% achieving bone healing and a notable satisfaction level among participants.
Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous intrafocal pinning is a surgical method for treating certain types of distal radius fractures, particularly when there is minimal comminution; this study examines its role and when it should be used.
- A retrospective analysis of 49 patients revealed that complications, especially secondary displacements, were common, particularly in patients over 50 years old, prompting a reconsideration of this technique's suitability for older adults.
- The study suggests that plate osteosynthesis is preferred as a first-line treatment for all patients, recommending intrafocal pinning only for younger patients when necessary, accompanied by strict immobilization for 6 weeks.
Article Synopsis
- * After three rounds of surveys, 18 out of 68 factors were identified as influential, with stable consensus on factors that favor operative treatment including professional athlete status and specific fracture characteristics.
- * Most disagreement arose regarding treatment for certain injuries, especially those involving an anterolateral coronoid tip fracture, indicating a need for more clarity in treatment guidelines among surgeons.
Background: Postoperative infection after the Latarjet procedure, ranging from 1% to 6%, can compromise the functional outcome of young athletes. is a main pathogen as a consequence of an intraoperative contamination.
Purpose: To evaluate intraoperative contamination with and the effectiveness of the local application of vancomycin during the Latarjet procedure.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the modified Masquelet technique for treating clavicle nonunion due to infection, focusing on mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes.
- Five patients with an average age of 49 underwent the procedure, which involved a two-stage surgical process using autografts from the iliac crest.
- Results showed excellent pain relief and shoulder function over an average follow-up of 5 years, with complete bone healing observed in all cases, though pain at the graft site was reported by all patients.
