The shoulder capsular sitffness must be managed first by a physiotherapist and the arthroscopic release is indicated after failure. The clinical assessment is essential and reveals the loss of passive motion in specified direction. The x-rays and imaging are necessary for excluding the other etiologies of shoulder stiffness. The arthroscopic treatment is part of he treatment strategy which has to be explained to the patient. The arthroscopic treatment starts by measuring under anesthesia the loss of passive motion. The next step consists of the release of the rotator interval followed by resection of the anterior capsule. Finally, the posterior capsule is cut according to the location of the capsular retraction. The interest of the subacromial debridement is still of debate. The postoperative pain control and the rehabilitation are part of the treatment. The literature analysis demonstrates the efficiency of the arthroscopic treatment, even if the post-op care are often long. A delay of 6 months is currently necessary to obtain the final results. The main advantages of the arthroscopic treatment is to address specifically the retracted capsule and to perform a selective release which allow to start rehabilitation program early.

Advancements in minimally invasive treatment of deltoid ligament injuries combined with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries.
BMC Surg

The deltoid ligament (medial collateral ligament) and the syndesmosis (a composite ligamentous structure at the distal tibiofibular junction) are critical for maintaining ankle stability. In cases of high-energy ankle fractures, these structures are often injured simultaneously, leading to instability and potential long-term complications such as post-traumatic arthritis. This review aims to explore advancements in minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of combined deltoid ligament and syndesmosis injuries, with a focus on optimizing surgical outcomes and reducing patient morbidity.

Background: The treatment algorithm for traumatic shoulder instability has evolved, emphasizing the significance of glenoid bone loss and the glenoid track, addressing humeral, and glenoid vault bone deficiencies. This study examines trends and demographics of anterior shoulder instability procedures in the United States from 2010 to 2020.
Methods: PearlDiver database was queried for patients who underwent traumatic anterior shoulder instability procedures.

Background: Interest in biological augmentation for improving bone-tendon interface (BTI) healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is growing. Dermal fibroblasts, known for collagen synthesis similar to tenocytes, have shown effectiveness in BTI healing in chronic rotator cuff tear (RCT) models in rabbits. However, no human clinical trials have been conducted.

An inflammatory rheumatic shoulder can be assessed as a forgotten joint. Apparent problems and deformities of the hands and feet are prioritized in the perception of rheumatic patients. In contrast, however, involvement of the shoulder joint in the context of an inflammatory rheumatic disease is very high with up to 85% [2].
