The coexistence of glenoid and humeral head bone defects may increase the risk of recurrence of instability after soft tissue repair.Revealed factors in medical history such as male gender, younger age of dislocation, an increasing number of dislocations, contact sports, and manual work or epilepsy may increase the recurrence rate of instability.In physical examination, positive bony apprehension test, catching and crepitations in shoulder movement may suggest osseous deficiency.Anteroposterior and axial views allow for the detection of particular bony lesions in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability.Computed Tomography (CT) with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and various types of 3D rendering in 2D (quasi-3D-CT) and 3D (true-3D-CT) space allows not only detection of glenoid and humeral bone defects but most of all their quantification and relations (engaging/not-engaging and on-track/off-track) in the context of bipolar lesion.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly developing and can provide an equally accurate measurement tool for bone assessment, avoiding radiation exposure for the patient.

: Physical shoulder offset parameters (SOPs) play important roles in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder diseases. However, there is little research analyzing SOPs in healthy shoulders using cross-sectional MRI images, especially in Asians. Therefore, this study aimed to establish physiological reference values of shoulder parameters for Asian populations.

Lateralisation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty - A narrative review.

J Clin Orthop Trauma

March 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Woodend Hospital, Aberdeen, AB15 6XS, UK.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has witnessed a significant advancement with the introduction of lateralisation techniques, aiming to enhance shoulder function and implant durability. Traditional medialised designs, following Grammont's principles, have encountered challenges such as scapular notching, reduced rotational strength, and instability. In contrast, lateralisation methods, which reposition the joint center of rotation laterally on the glenoid, humerus, or both, seek to improve deltoid leverage, optimize the rotator cuff muscles' length-tension relationship, and enhance joint stability.

Background: While glenoid bone loss (GBL) after anterior shoulder instability correlates with poor functional outcomes, the specific effects of GBL in posterior and combined-type shoulder instability remain poorly characterized, especially in a high-risk military population.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare GBL between unidirectional anterior or posterior instability versus combined-type instability in active-duty servicemembers. It was hypothesized that total GBL and GBL in the direction of instability would be greater in those with combined-type instability compared with unidirectional instability.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement parameters-the standard noninvasive diagnostic method for rotator cuff tears (RCTs)-have been used to compare groups with and without RCTs. Arthroscopy is used in definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Purposes: To evaluate the association between RCT and shoulder angles and distances on MRI in patients with and without arthroscopically validated RCT and to determine whether the degree of rotator cuff fatty degeneration affects the MRI measurements.

Background: Superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions are common shoulder injuries. The 10-type classification system has been widely used to diagnose SLAP lesions since it was proposed. However, growing evidence from arthroscopic studies indicates the existence of many SLAP lesions, especially those associated with superior glenoid humeral ligament (SGHL) injuries, that were not included in the initial classification.
