Purpose: Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common injury, but the optimal management of dislocation remains controversial. We hypothesized that reducing the shoulder in externally rotated position would aid the reduction in capsulolabral lesions. Thus, in this study, contact pressure between the capsulolabral lesion and the glenoid in free ALPSA and Bankart lesions was measured using a cadaver model.

Methods: In 10 specimens, the humerus was externally rotated by abduction on the coronal plane to measure the contact pressure between the capsulolabral complex and glenoid in free ALPSA and Bankart lesions using a Tekscan pressure system. Stability of the joint was confirmed using the Vicon motion analysis system.

Results: In the normal shoulder joint, the peak pressure between the subscapularis muscle and the anterior capsule according to the location of the glenohumeral joint decreased to 83.4 ± 21.2 kPa in the 0° abduction and -30° external rotation positions and showed a 300.7 ± 42.9 kPa peak value in the 60° abduction and 60° external rotation positions. In both free ALPSA and Bankart lesions, the lowest pressure between the labral lesion and the glenoid was measured at 0° abduction and -30° external rotation, and the highest pressure was recorded at 60° external rotation and 60° abduction.

Conclusion: The contact pressure between the capsulolabral complex and the glenoid significantly increased when the abduction and external rotation angles were increased. Based on our results, the conservative management in free ALPSA lesions would respond better than Bankart lesions.

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.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Wonju College of Medicine, Yonsei University, Wonju Christian Hospital, Wonju, Korea.

Background: Many authors have reported the presence of intra-articular lesions after primary dislocation of the shoulder joint. However, few studies have focused on their prevalence or the differences in accompanying lesions between primary and recurrent dislocations of the shoulder joint.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to investigate and analyze accompanying lesions, including types of anteroinferior labrum injuries, using diagnostic arthroscopy and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) in 144 patients with traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint.

Purpose: To evaluate abnormalities and age-related differences after first-time shoulder dislocation.

Materials And Methods: MRA images of first-time dislocators were assessed for labral-ligamentous-capsular / rotator cuff abnormalities and analyzed the age-related differences (< and >/=30 years old).

Results: Sixty-six patients (34 <30 years old vs.
