Purpose: The management of isolated SLAP lesions is still debated especially in athletes. Aims of the study were: 1. to analyse our algorithm to treat SLAP lesions starting from the selection of patients for surgery and 2.

The aim of this study is to compare the Neer classification and the Control Volume severity grade for the accuracy in the selection of the type of treatment and for prognostic evaluation.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively collected the records of all patients admitted at the Emergency Department of our Institute, from 2013 to 2020, for a closed displaced proximal humerus fracture further investigated with a CT scan before treatment decision.
Article Synopsis
- Humeral stem prosthesis implantation for proximal humerus varus malunion can lead to complications like greater tuberosity fractures and rotator cuff damage, affecting patient mobility.
- A new surgical technique involving a proximal humerus osteotomy is proposed, utilizing 3D preoperative virtual surgery and custom surgical guides to correct the bone deformity before prosthetic implantation.
- Early results show promise for this method, but further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and long-term outcomes.
Purpose: The surgical treatment of comminuted distal humeral articular fractures (DHF) is challenging and is jeopardized by the high rate of complications. The study aims to describe the application of osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation for the treatment of complex DHF assisted with a 3D printed specific instrumentation.
Methods: Retrospective study.
Arthroscopic Iliac Crest Bone Allograft Combined With Subscapularis Upper-Third Tenodesis Shows a Low Recurrence Rate in the Treatment of Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability Associated With Critical Bone Loss.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of a surgical procedure combining arthroscopic glenoid bone allograft and subscapularis tenodesis in patients with shoulder instability due to bone loss and hyperlaxity.
- The evaluation involved 19 patients who experienced recurrent dislocations and were followed for an average of 34.6 months, revealing significant improvements in their clinical scores post-surgery.
- While bone graft resorption occurred in all patients, only 11% experienced recurrent dislocations, indicating overall successful results with low complication rates.
