Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to create a machine learning algorithm that would help estimate the likelihood of recurrence after an arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) for shoulder instability.
- The researchers analyzed data from 14 studies involving 5,591 patients and identified risk factors for recurrence, finding that certain factors like age and type of sport increased risk, while a single dislocation reduced it.
- However, the machine learning model struggled to accurately predict recurrence rates due to inconsistent data across studies, highlighting the need for better data standardization in future research.
High-grade the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations can be treated surgically. Endoscopic techniques to stabilize the ACJ using an EndoButton suture technique for coracoclavicular (CC) fixation have been shown to be safe and reproducible. Several studies have demonstrated the benefit of stabilizing the ACJ to reduce postoperative horizontal instability.

- The study investigates the impact of two surgical techniques (open Latarjet procedure - OLP and all-arthroscopic Latarjet procedure - ALP) on shoulder proprioception, which is crucial for proper shoulder functionality.
- It contrasts the preservation of the anterior glenohumeral capsule in OLP against its complete resection in ALP to understand if there are postoperative differences in proprioceptive abilities between the two methods.
- The findings indicate that there is no significant difference in proprioceptive error rates between the operated and healthy sides for both OLP and ALP, suggesting that both procedures maintain similar proprioceptive function post-surgery.
The Latarjet procedure is a frequently used stabilization procedure in case of anterior shoulder instability with critical glenoid bone loss and/or off-track Hill Sachs lesions. Although uncommon, intra-operative graft fractures do occur. When confronted with this potentially challenging intra-operative complication, having a secondary solution is paramount to achieve a successful outcome.

Background: This study aims to compare the range of motion (ROM) of reverse shoulder arthroplasty lateralised by bony increased offset (BIO-RSA) using a standard 38-mm (mm) component to regular reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) lateralised by using a 42-mm glenoid component. The secondary aims are to compare patient-reported and radiographic outcomes between the two groups.
Materials And Methods: All patients with a BIO-RSA and size 38 glenosphere were retrospectively identified and matched to patients with a regular RSA and size 42 glenosphere.
