Despite advancements in surgical techniques, outcomes following ACL reconstruction remain suboptimal, largely due to poor adherence to postoperative rehabilitation. This study introduces a novel postoperative rehabilitation approach utilizing a smartphone application, UPSCALER, developed by the Universiti Putra Malaysia Sports Injury and Arthroscopic Surgery Center of Excellence.

The Latarjet procedure is an effective surgical technique that addresses instability by creating a bony block on the anterior glenoid rim. This case highlights the successful management of bilateral recurrent shoulder dislocation using the bilateral shoulder open Latarjet procedure and emphasizes the importance of early intervention in such cases.

Such fractures pose a significant challenge to orthopedic surgeons, given the complex interplay of factors involved, including fracture displacement, comminution, compromised bone quality, and the presence of concurrent medical comorbidities. While open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) remains a viable treatment option for these fractures, it is a technically demanding procedure associated with a high incidence of complications.
