Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy in treating pain, limited range of motion, and continued instability of the Latarjet open technique via the use of arthroscopy.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent arthroscopic capsule plication after failure of an open Latarjet technique was performed. Revision surgery was indicated in cases of recurrent instability and associated pain. Only patients with a glenoid defect <25% were considered. The Constant and Rowe scores were administered, whereas pain was assessed with a visual analog scale before the reoperation and at 24 months after operation. Radiographs, computed tomography, and CT arthrography scans were performed.
Results: Twelve patients met the inclusion criteria. All patients had capsular distension and consequently were subjected to a capsuloplasty. Shoulder function, stability, and pain had all improved significantly at 24 months after arthroscopic revision (P < .0001). In particular, the Constant score increased from 44.9 (standard deviation [SD] 7.10) to 89.3 (SD 12.6) points, the Rowe score improved from 49.5 (SD 10.1) to 80.9 (SD 10.9), whereas the visual analog scale pain score decreased from 6.75 (SD 1.17) to 1.38 (SD 1.06).
Conclusions: Primary open Latarjet with a glenoid bone defect <25% that failed due to capsular redundancy is amenable to successful treatment with arthroscopic capsuloplasty.
Clinical Relevance: Arthroscopic approaches can offer a good solution for treating previously failed open Latarjet procedures.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Early Reinitiation of Obesity Pharmacotherapy Post Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Youth: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Obes Surg
January 2025
Division of Upper Gastrointestinal and General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.
Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe pediatric obesity, but a subset of youth experience suboptimal weight loss and/or recurrent weight gain. Early re-initiation of obesity pharmacotherapy postoperatively may improve outcomes, though this has not been evaluated in pediatric populations.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care children's hospital evaluated the safety and efficacy of reintroducing obesity pharmacotherapy within six weeks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Comparison of tibiofibular syndesmosis stability following treatment of proximal, middle, and distal third fibula fractures.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California San Diego, 200 West Arbor Drive MC 8894, San Diego, CA, 92103, USA.
Purpose: While treatment modalities for Maisonneuve fractures involving the proximal third of the fibula are established, no studies to date have reported outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation of middle third fibular shaft fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation in the treatment of Maisonneuve fractures involving the middle third of the fibula.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 257 cases of syndesmotic ankle instability with associated fibular fractures at a level 1 trauma center between 2013 and 2023.
Indications for the addition of a patellofemoral joint arthroplasty following a previous unicondylar knee arthroplasty- a literature review and Delphi consensus.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Institute for Locomotion, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to establish an international consensus statement on the indications for the addition of a patellofemoral joint arthroplasty (PFJA) in patients with a unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) and symptomatic progression of patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and the results used to inform the development of a statement by an expert working group. This was then evaluated and modified, using a Delphi process, by members of the European Knee Society (EKS).
No Difference in External Rotation Loss After Isolated Bankart Repair, Remplissage, or Latarjet: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Oregon Shoulder Institute, Medford, Oregon, USA.
Background: Despite the effectiveness of remplissage in reducing instability recurrence, debate remains about the loss of external rotation (ER) after this procedure.
Purpose: To compare the loss of ER after primary isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair alone (BR), Bankart with remplissage (REMP), and Latarjet (LAT) procedures.
Study Design: Meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 3.
