The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a rare syndrome of congenital disorders whose etiology is still unknown. Most RTS patients have musculoskeletal abnormalities which, if untreated, may significantly affect independent mobility. This paper presents the results of a surgical treatment of a 13-year-old patient with RTS and instability of the patellofemoral joint. The patient was followed up for 3 years. Surgery resulted in complete pain relief, increased knee range of motion and marked improvement in the patient's gait. An extensive plasty of the extensor apparatus of the knee joint increases the likelihood of a good and lasting treatment result in patients with RTS and instability of the patellofemoral joint.

Recurrence, Return to Sport, and Reoperation Rates Appear Similar Between Males And Females After Surgery for Anterior Shoulder Instability: Future Research Requires Disaggregation by Sex.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center. Electronic address:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate sex-based disparities in outcomes following surgery for anterior shoulder instability and to assess the quality of the current literature on this topic.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a June 2023 database search (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cinahl) identified level I-III clinical studies on anterior shoulder instability (Jan 2003-May 2023). Eligible studies included male and female outcomes after anterior shoulder stabilization.
Indicators of Return to Sports at Preinjury Levels Following Surgery for Chronic Ankle Instability: Comparison of ALR-RSI, AOFAS, and Karlsson Scores.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
Clinique du sport, Paris, Île-de-France, France.
Background: While there are several scales for measuring patients' outcomes after chronic ankle instability (CAI) surgery, a study comparing the predictive ability of these scores with regard to return to sports (RTS) at the preinjury level is lacking.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction-Return to Sport After Injury (ALR-RSI), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and Karlsson scores in predicting 2-year RTS outcomes after arthroscopic treatment of CAI. It was hypothesized that ALR-RSI would be superior in predicting 2-year RTS outcomes after CAI surgery and that a quantifiable increase in this score would significantly improve RTS outcomes.
Early muscular training and immobilization in external rotation could reduce the recurrence rate in first-time shoulder dislocators among young rugby athletes.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Osaka International Medical & Science Center, Osaka, Japan; Center for Sports Medicine, Osaka International Medical & Science Center, Osaka, Japan. Electronic address:
Background: Among rugby players, anterior shoulder dislocation is challenging to treat during the in-season period. It often leads to recurrent shoulder instability and requires prolonged rest post-surgery. No studies have determined the effectiveness of immobilization, early muscle strength training, or both in preventing reinjury in this population.

January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, A. Gemelli University Hospital Foundation IRCCS, Catholic University, Rome, Italy.
Background: Failure, persistent knee instability, and reinjury rates after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are still concerns. Biomechanical investigations have highlighted the role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) as a crucial knee stabilizer, and clinical outcomes after combined ACL and ALL reconstruction appear to indicate the success of the procedure.
Purpose: To compare the functional outcomes, return-to-sport (RTS) rate, and complications between combined ACL and ALL reconstruction and isolated ACL reconstruction.
What Psychological Factors Affect Return to Sports After Shoulder Stabilization Surgery? A Scoping Review.
Clin J Sport Med
October 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Clinica Universidad de los Andes, Santiago, Chile.
Objective: Despite excellent functional outcomes after shoulder stabilization surgery, a substantial number of patients fail to return to sports (RTS) at the preinjury level. The psychological factors affecting RTS postsurgery have been underexplored. This scoping review aimed to identify and analyze potential psychological factors influencing the decision to RTS after shoulder stabilization surgery.
