Purpose: To evaluate if the size of Humeral Hill-Sachs Defects (HSDs) increases during reduction in the emergency department (ED) in subjects that have a first-time anterior shoulder dislocation.

Methods: Subjects more than 18 years old presenting to the ED a first-time anterior shoulder dislocation were included. A computed tomography was performed prior to any reduction attempt (Pre-CT).

Article Synopsis
  • Bone and cartilage tissues support the body, protect organs, and contribute to blood cell formation, but they have limited ability to regenerate on their own, leading to issues like fractures and arthritis.
  • The development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) is crucial, particularly through advanced hydrogels that mimic natural extracellular matrix, offering benefits like biocompatibility and customization for patient-specific treatments.
  • Despite their potential, challenges remain with hydrogels, including their mechanical strength and cell viability, prompting a need for further research and innovation in their application for tissue repair.

Purpose: To evaluate with computed tomography (CT) the incidence of implant-related osteolysis after implantation of two types of all-suture anchors during remplissage for the management of Hill-Sachs lesions in shoulder instability.

Methods: Single-cohort, observational study with a minimum of 12 months follow-up. Twenty-five participants (19 males and 6 females; mean age 37.

Introduction: Recurrent posterior glenohumeral instability poses a challenge for treatment. Bone block procedures have been advocated in cases where a bony defect is present. However, these techniques are not free of complications due to the proximity of neurovascular structures.
