Arthroscopic Iliac Crest Bone Graft Augmentation Using All-Suture Anchors for Shoulder Instability Caused by Glenoid Bone Loss.

Augmentation of the anterior glenoid with bone graft is an established treatment for recurrent anterior instability due to critical glenoid bone loss. Both open and arthroscopic techniques have been described. Fixation with metal screws through an open approach is the most common technique, but the risk of metal screw-related complications remains a concern.

The Shoulder Objective Practical Assessment Tool: Evaluation of a New Tool Assessing Residents Learning in Diagnostic Shoulder Arthroscopy.

Purpose: To design and validate an objective practical assessment tool for diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy that would provide residents with a method to evaluate their progression in this field of surgery and to identify specific learning needs.

Methods: We designed and evaluated the shoulder Objective Practical Assessment Tool (OPAT). The shoulder OPAT was designed by us, and scoring domains were created using a Delphi process.

A new technique for stabilizing adolescent posteriorly displaced physeal medial clavicular fractures.

Background: Adolescent posteriorly displaced physeal injuries of the medial clavicle are uncommon. Up to 50% of conservatively treated patients remain symptomatic, and late surgery is hazardous. Stability is rarely achieved with closed or open reduction alone, and internal fixation is usually required.
