Surgical exposure of the glenoid after previous coracoid process transfer is technically challenging as a result of distorted anatomy, obliterated soft-tissue planes, and adhesive scar tissue, which poses additional risk to adjacent neurovascular structures. The purpose of this article is to present a technique for glenoid exposure following coracoid transfer that involves tenotomy of the conjoint tendon to minimize the risk for neurovascular injury while leaving the well-healed coracoid bone graft in place.

With the remarkable advances in diagnostic ultrasound equipment, there is a growing need for ultrasound diagnosis of muscle and soft tissue injuries in sports injuries. Among these, hamstring strains are often difficult to treat and require early and accurate diagnosis. Injuries to the proximal part of the hamstring often take a long time to heal.

Background: The Latarjet procedure is considered the gold standard for treating patients with anterior shoulder instability in the presence of critical glenoid bone loss. Proponents of the Latarjet contend that its efficacy is in-part attributable to the "sling effect" of the conjoint tendon; however, recent studies have demonstrated similar restoration of anterior stability in patients undergoing free bone block (FBB) procedures. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the biomechanical and clinical evidence for the sling effect.

Background: Anterior shoulder pain after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is not uncommon and may be due to humeral impingement against the conjoint tendon during internal rotation (IR). It is unknown what effect different implant designs and configurations have on conjoint tendon impingement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of several RSA implant design parameters on conjoint tendon impingement during IR.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the conjoined tendon-preserving posterior (CPP) approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for its clinical outcomes and complications compared to the standard posterior approach (PA).
- A total of 83 patients were analyzed, showing that the CPP approach resulted in longer surgery times and more blood loss, but did not significantly differ in hip function scores or complication rates.
- Both approaches had comparable success regarding complications and implant alignment, suggesting CPP could lower dislocation rates, but caution is needed due to potential nerve issues.
Endoscopic Treatment of Deep Gluteal Syndrome: 3-Portal Technique.

We describe all-endoscopic deep gluteal syndrome treatment and sciatic nerve decompression at the infrapiriformis space. Surgery is performed with the patient in the prone position with the usual arthroscopic instruments and pump. The first step includes performing placement of 2 initial portals (medial and median) without fluoroscopy in the area of the ischial tuberosity and conjoint tendon, as well as release in this area with a subsequent shift in the lateral direction.
