Hypothesis: Arthroscopic factors, such as labral and capsular tissue quality or anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesion, affect postoperative labral height stability. Labral height stability has a correlation with clinical outcome.

Methods: The study included 40 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for a Bankart lesion between August 2005 and May 2009. The mean follow-up and patient age were 29.1 ± 10.9 months (range, 15-60 months) and 24.7 ± 8.4 years (range, 12-55 years), respectively. Labral and capsular tissue quality, ALPSA lesions, Hill-Sachs lesions, glenoid erosion, and superior labrum anterior-posterior tears were identified by arthroscopic examination. Stepwise postoperative computed tomography arthrography to estimate the labral height was performed at 3 months and 1 year.

Results: Correlation of postoperative 1 year Rowe scores with labral height maintenance was statistically significant (P < .01). Correlation of Rowe scores at 1 year postoperatively with labral height at 1 year postoperatively was also statistically significant (P < .01). The mean postoperative labral height at 3 months and at 1 year was 5.13 ± 1.56 mm (range, 2.9-8.8 mm) and 4.69 ± 1.75 mm (range, 1.6-8.5 mm), respectively (P < .01). The decrease in labral height at 1 year after surgery was significant in those patients with ALPSA lesions, Hill-Sachs lesions, and a poor labrum along with a poor capsule (P < .01).

Conclusions: The patients with less labral height decrease between 3 months and 1 year or higher labral height at 1 year postoperatively showed higher Rowe scores at 1 year postoperatively. Shoulders with ALPSA lesions, Hill-Sachs lesions, and a poor labrum with poor capsular tissue quality correlated more strongly with postoperative labral height decrease.

Background: Nonoperative management of posterior shoulder instability is common. However, limited data are available to assess the pathomorphologic factors associated with its failure.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was 2-fold: (1) to determine glenohumeral pathomorphologic features predictive of nonoperative management failure of posterior instability; and (2) to determine the relationship between nonoperative management failure and posterior glenoid bone loss (pGBL) progression.

Article Synopsis
  • This case report discusses the treatment of a 26-year-old male with a greater tuberosity fracture-dislocation following a fall, highlighting the symptoms and initial conservative treatment strategies used.
  • After initial treatments, the patient experienced persistent pain related to post-traumatic subacromial impingement syndrome, which was confirmed via imaging and treated with a guided injection, leading to significant improvement.
  • The study concludes that conservative management, including rehabilitation and avoiding overhead activities, can effectively treat isolated shoulder fractures and associated complications, as demonstrated by the patient's full recovery over six months.

Background: The relationship between hip rotational abnormalities and hip labral size has not been fully investigated.

Purposes: To (1) examine the correlation between rotational abnormalities of the hip and labral size, while also identifying other predictive values for hip labral size, and (2) explore whether femoral torsion will lead to increased labral size.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Background: Extensive research has been conducted to investigate the short-term and long-term outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair, yielding varying results across different populations. However, there remains a dearth of studies specifically focused on evaluating outcomes in recreational athletes.

Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted on recreational athletes who underwent isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair between 2013 and 2021.

Purpose: Symptomatic hips with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) morphology pose a challenge in differentiating stable from unstable hips. The current study aims to compare indirect radiographic signs of instability in a symptomatic BHD population to those in a healthy cohort.

Methods: The study group consisted of patients with a lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) with values 18° ≤ LCEA < 25° who underwent corrective periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and reported an improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
