Article Synopsis
- Chronic anterior shoulder instability is prevalent among young athletes who require effective recovery for returning to sports, and the arthroscopic Trillat technique has shown promising 2-year outcomes in stabilization and function.
- In a study involving 74 patients treated with this method, dislocation recurred in only 3 individuals (4.1%), while all participants successfully returned to sports within an average of 4.6 months.
- Functional scores were high across the board, indicating successful outcomes; moreover, there were no significant differences in results among athletes categorized by varying risks of dislocation.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of a new arthroscopic Trillat technique at a 2-year follow-up. Our current hypothesis was that this technique could be used for the effective treatment of chronic post-traumatic unidirectional anterior shoulder instability, and that the recurrence and complication rates, external rotation, and functional outcomes would be as good as those of the reference technique.
Methods: Between April 2012 and August 2016, all patients older than 16 years who underwent the arthroscopic Trillat technique for unidirectional chronic post-traumatic anterior shoulder instability at the Dijon University Hospital (France), after the failure of well-conducted medical and rehabilitation treatment with at least 24 months of follow-up, were included.
Subcapularis tendon tear: A structure-based arthroscopic description.

Introduction: Subscapularis (SSC) tendons differ from supraspinatus tendons, although both have similar histologic structure comprising two layers with distinct collagen fiber organization.
Hypothesis: The partial/full-thickness tear classification for the supraspinatus based on tendon structure can be applied to the subscapularis tendon on objective criteria.
Material And Methods: The present study used 100 films of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair involving SSC lesion.
Background: Some full-thickness subscapularis tendon tears and partial tears of the deep layer are difficult to characterize, leading to misdiagnosis.
Purpose: To evaluate the association between displacement of the middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) and retracted tears of the subscapularis tendon as a possible test to improve diagnosis.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
Arthroscopy has improved the diagnosis of subscapularis tendon lesions, and the outcomes of arthroscopic repair are satisfactory. Nonetheless, the diagnosis of some partial- and full-thickness subscapularis tears remains challenging. The middle glenohumeral ligament inserts distally into the articular surface of the subscapularis tendon and can be displaced when the subscapularis tendon is torn with retraction.

- - The study aimed to compare outcomes of humeral shaft fractures treated with two methods of intramedullary nailing: one with distal interlocking (DI) and one without (WDI), hypothesizing no significant difference in results.
- - Results showed no major differences in fracture healing or pain relief between the two groups, but the WDI group had significantly shorter operating and fluoroscopy times.
- - The conclusion suggests that both methods are similarly effective for healing and functionality, but using WDI can reduce time and potential risks associated with the surgery.
