The stabilizing function of the inferior glenohumeral ligament of the anterior band and posterior band has been investigated, but little is known about the function of the axillary pouch. The strain of the 3 portions of the inferior glenohumeral ligament in 17 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders was measured with use of linear transducers. The measurements were performed under the following conditions: 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees of glenohumeral elevation in the coronal, scapular, and sagittal planes and internal to external rotations in 10 degrees increments. The anterior band and axillary pouch showed significant strain increases when the arm was elevated and externally rotated in the coronal and scapular planes but no increase in the sagittal plane. The posterior band showed no strain in the coronal and scapular planes, but a significant strain increase with the arm elevated and internally rotated in the sagittal plane. We conclude that the anterior band and axillary pouch, which showed the greatest strain in abduction and external rotation, are anterior stabilizers, whereas the posterior band, which showed the greatest strain in flexion and internal rotation, is a posterior stabilizer. We recommend that the 6 o'clock position be firmly repaired during the Bankart procedure.

Debridement Technique for Single-Stage Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech

Shoulder and Elbow Service, Florida Orthopaedic Institute, Tampa, Florida.
Background: The incidence of revision shoulder arthroplasty continues to rise, and infection is a common indication for revision surgery. Treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the shoulder remains a controversial topic, with the literature reporting varying methodologies, including the use of debridement and implant retention, single-stage and 2-stage surgeries, antibiotic spacers, and resection arthroplasty. Single-stage revision has been shown to have a low rate of recurrent infection, making it more favorable because it precludes the morbidity of a 2-stage operation.

Department of Sports Medicine, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
Background: Arthroscopic repair with the biceps rerouting (BR) technique has been determined to lead to promising clinical and biomechanical outcomes for treating large-to-massive rotator cuff tears (LMRCTs). However, the in vivo effects of BR on glenohumeral kinematics during functional shoulder movements have not been fully elucidated.
Purpose: To investigate whether BR provides a better restoration of shoulder kinematics compared with conventional rotator cuff repair (RCR).
Use of posteroanterior reference guides for bone block or coracoid process transfer in anterior glenohumeral instability: a cadaveric study of the relationship to the suprascapular nerve.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic, The Royal London Hospital, London, UK.
Background: Iatrogenic suprascapular nerve injury secondary to posterior drilling or screw penetration is a recognized complication of bone block or coracoid process transfers for anterior glenohumeral instability. We present the first cadaveric study that assesses the safety of posteroanterior reference guides and quantifies the relationship of the suprascapular nerve to posterior glenoid fixation with suture buttons.
Methods: Anterior glenoid bone block reconstruction with suture buttons utilizing a posteroanterior reference guide was performed in 10 fresh frozen cadavers via a posterior portal.
Fascia Lata Allograft Superior Capsule Reconstruction Restores Glenohumeral Translation but Alters Glenohumeral Kinematics at Low Abduction Angles.

Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory, Congress Medical Foundation, Pasadena, CA, USA. Electronic address:
Background: There is a relative paucity of studies examining how the superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) may alter the kinematics of the glenohumeral joint capsule itself, specifically with respect to rotation and translation in the anterior-posterior and superior-inferior planes. This then raises the possibility that the SCR may be having unintended consequences on glenohumeral kinematics. The purpose of this study was to quantify the glenohumeral joint kinematics following Fascia Lata SCR (FL-SCR).

Background: Advancements in surgical planning, technique, and prosthesis design have improved adaptation to patient anatomy in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). Postoperative changes in deltoid and rotator cuff muscle length are important and may vary based on preoperative indications and prosthesis selection. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the changes in deltoid and rotator cuff muscle length for planned rTSA using the spectrum of prosthesis configurations in both GHOA and RCA.
