Background: The number of anterior shoulder dislocations that predispose to recurrence is unknown; some clinicians recommend surgical repair after the initial episode and others after multiple recurrences. The purpose of this study was to quantify the forces during successive anterior dislocations of cadaveric shoulders and to inspect the capsule and labrum afterwards, in order to assess the propensity for recurrence.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-two human cadaveric shoulders were tested using a custom cadaveric shoulder dislocation device with simulated muscle loading. Each was positioned in the apprehension position and the humerus was moved in horizontal abduction until the shoulder dislocated. The joint reaction force was measured, as was the force that developed passively in the pectoralis major muscle. Following 3 successive dislocations, each was inspected for anterior capsulolabral lesions.
Results: There was a significant decrease in force after the second dislocation. In 11, there was no labral avulsion and a significant decrease in force after the first dislocation. In the other 11, there was a labral avulsion and a significant decrease in force after the second dislocation.
Conclusion: Two successive anterior shoulder dislocations may increase propensity for recurrence; but this is influenced by the type of capsulolabral lesion that occurs. No labral avulsion, likely a result of capsular stretching, may be a worse prognostic finding than labral avulsion after the initial episode.

Mid- to Long-Term Clinical Outcomes and Failure Rates After ALPSA Lesion Repair.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesions are associated with recurrent shoulder instability and higher rates of failure after capsulolabral repair compared with similarly treated Bankart lesions. Although these lesions can portend poor outcomes, there are limited data on the associated conditions and postoperative course in a young, active population.
Purpose: To evaluate the mid- to long-term clinical course and failure rates after ALPSA repairs and assess features associated with these outcomes.
Glenohumeral capsular injury rate in patients with glenohumeral instability: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Glenohumeral instability involves complex issues related to bony, labral, and capsular tissues, with varying rates of capsular injuries, highlighted by unclear clinical significance.
- A systematic review of studies from 2008 to 2023 found that the inferior glenohumeral ligament injuries were the most common (34.1%), while humeral avulsions were the least common (6.2%).
- The conclusion indicates that while capsular injuries are prevalent in MRI scans of patients with shoulder instability, there's a need for more research to better understand their clinical impacts and rehabilitation methods.
Acetabular labral entrapment following spontaneous nonconcentric reduction of posterior hip dislocation in a child.

Traumatic pediatric hip dislocations are uncommon and can occur following minor trauma. This injury may be overlooked, as pediatric hip dislocations can reduce spontaneously prior to medical attention. In this scenario, the presenting hip radiographs may provide evidence of a prior transient hip dislocation episode by demonstrating signs of a nonconcentric hip reduction, and prompt further evaluation with advanced imaging.

Article Synopsis
- - A 36-year-old male with chronic left hip pain from a rectus femoris injury underwent surgery after conservative treatments and steroid injections failed.
- - Imaging showed ossification near the hip joint, along with femoral cam lesion and labral tearing, indicating impingement issues.
- - Surgical procedures included femoroplasty, acetabuloplasty, and labral repair, leading to significant pain relief and highlighting the importance of identifying related lesions before surgery.
Anterior Labrum Periosteal Sleeve Avulsion Lesions of the Shoulder: A Scoping Review.
Orthop J Sports Med
August 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
Background: Anterior labrum periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesion of the shoulder is defined as a labral avulsion with an intact periosteum of the glenoid neck resulting in medial malattachment of the labrum, which is both nonanatomic and nonfunctional. It is relatively rare compared with Bankart lesions, and its results are usually reported in combination with other anterior labroligamentous lesions in the literature.
Purpose: To (1) assess the size and scope of the literature on ALPSA lesions, (2) highlight the importance of this lesion, and (3) distinguish between ALPSA and Bankart lesions in diagnostic and treatment strategies.
