Purpose: To describe osseous, chondral and tendinous lesions associated with fissures of the posterior labrum. To better understand the pathological processes leading to fissure of the posterior labrum. Materials and methods. Retrospective study of 43 CT arthrograms performed in 43 patients that showed a fissure of the posterior labrum. The following associated lesions were noted: osseous and chondral remodeling of the humeral head and/or glenoid and articular surface fissures of the rotator cuff. Based on type of associated lesions, patients were separated into one of four pathological subgroups: posterior instability, posterosuperior or internal impingement, anterior instability and isolated fissure of the posterior labrum.
Results: Sixteen patients (37.2%) of patients showed posterior instability, 12 (27.9%) showed lesions of internal impingement, and 11 (25.6%) showed lesions of anterior instability. Only 4 patients (9.3%) had an isolated fissure of the posterior labrum.
Conclusion: Posterior instability, internal impingement and anterior instability are the main pathologies leading to fissure of the posterior labrum, which seldom occurs in isolation. Evaluation of these associated lesions allows understanding of the underlying pathological processes leading to fissure of the posterior labrum.

The Superior Glenoid Humeral Ligament's Role in Superior Labrum Anterior-Posterior Lesions and Subtype Classification Based on Arthroscopic Views: A Multicenter, Retrospective Study.

Background: Superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions are common shoulder injuries. The 10-type classification system has been widely used to diagnose SLAP lesions since it was proposed. However, growing evidence from arthroscopic studies indicates the existence of many SLAP lesions, especially those associated with superior glenoid humeral ligament (SGHL) injuries, that were not included in the initial classification.

Background: Anterior shoulder instability is a common pathology seen especially in young men and highly active patient populations. Subluxation is a commonly encountered clinical issue, yet little is known about the effects of first-time subluxation compared with dislocation on shoulder stability and clinical outcomes after surgical stabilization.
Purpose: To compare revision and redislocation rates as well as patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between subluxators and dislocators after a first-time anterior shoulder instability event.
Background: The superior labrum and biceps complex is commonly implicated in shoulder pain and there remains discordance regarding the surgical management of superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears. The purpose of this study was to establish an expert consensus regarding the management of superior labrum and biceps complex pathology.
Methods: The NEER Circle is an organization of shoulder experts recognized for their service to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) society.
Clinical Outcomes and Return to Play in Dynamic Anterior Glenohumeral Capsular Ligament Tensioning Procedure for Overhead-throwing Athletes with Traumatic Shoulder Dislocation on the Throwing Side.

Background: Although arthroscopic Bankart repair for shoulder instability after a traumatic shoulder dislocation is a standard procedure, return-to-play rates for overhead-throwing athletes with shoulder instability on the throwing side have been reported to be lower than those in non-overhead athletes or in non-throwing shoulders. A recent technical report showed that the dynamic anterior glenohumeral capsular ligament tensioning (DAGHT) procedure in abducted external rotation, which mimics the late cocking phase of the throwing motion during surgery, may provide optimal tensioning of the anterior glenohumeral ligament. This study compared clinical outcomes and return to play after arthroscopic Bankart repair between DAGHT and a conventional procedure for overhead-throwing athletes with traumatic dislocation on the throwing side.

Posterior shoulder instability (PSI) is defined by dynamic, recurrent and symptomatic partial or total loss of posterior joint contact. Anatomic risk factors comprise ligament hyperlaxity, glenoid retroversion or dysplasia, and high horizontal acromial morphology. Associated anatomic lesions comprise labrum lesions, posterior glenoid erosion and/or fracture, and anterior humeral head notching.
