Purpose: There were 2 main purposes in this study: (1) to report on clinical outcomes of the Latarjet procedure without remplissage in athletes with glenoid bone defects greater than 25% and off-track Hill-Sachs lesions and (2) to determine whether the isolated Latarjet procedure converted off-track Hill-Sachs lesions to on-track Hill-Sachs lesions as measured on computed tomography (CT).
Methods: During the study period, a total of 29 athletes who had anterior glenohumeral instability with glenoid bone defects greater than 25% and off-track Hill-Sachs lesions, who underwent Latarjet surgery, and who had a minimum follow-up period of 24 months were included in this study. The glenoid track was analyzed before and 3 months after the procedure using 3-dimensional CT. Return to sport and range of motion, as well as the Rowe score, visual analog scale score for pain during sports activity, and Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System score, were used to assess functional outcomes. Recurrences were also evaluated.
Results: The mean follow-up period was 35 months (standard deviation [SD], 6 months), and the mean age was 30 years (SD, 2 years). Of the patients, 27 (93%) were able to return to sports and 25 (86%) returned to the same level as before their injury. No significant difference in shoulder range of motion was found between preoperative and postoperative results. The Rowe, visual analog scale, and Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System scores showed statistically significant improvements after surgery (P < .001). The mean width of the glenoid pathway changed significantly from 21.5 mm (SD, 2.54 mm) in the preoperative period to 35.1 mm (SD, 5.46 mm) at 3 months' follow-up. All the Hill-Sachs lesions remained on track, and no patient had recurrence of instability at the end of follow-up. No complications occurred in this series.
Conclusions: The Latarjet procedure was effective to restore stability in athletes with recurrent glenohumeral instability with glenoid bone defects greater than 25% and off-track Hill-Sachs lesions, avoiding recurrence in all patients after an average follow-up period of 35 months. Moreover, the Latarjet procedure converted all off-track Hill-Sachs lesions to on-track Hill-Sachs lesions as measured on CT.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.

Background: Rotator cuff tears and Bankart lesions significantly affect shoulder function and quality of life. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and Bankart repair has become the standard treatment for restoring function and reducing pain. Recent advancements include new suture anchor technologies, such as the Sironix suture anchor known for its biomechanical strength and promising outcomes.

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.

Purpose: To compare functional outcomes, recurrence rate, range of motion (ROM) and return to sport between arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage (BR) and open Bankart repair with inferior capsular shift (OBICS) in contact and collision athletes with recurrent anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: A prospective comparative cohort study of 90 patients separated into two study groups (OBICS and BR) of 45 collision and contact athletes each was conducted. All athletes had subcritical glenoid bone loss (SGBL) ≤ 10% and off-track Hill Sach lesions (HSLs).

Background: To analyze how patient history, glenoid bone loss (GBL), and the size of the residual glenoid bone fragment (GBF) influence the choice between arthroscopic Bankart repair and open Latarjet procedure in patients with anteroinferior glenohumeral instability and bony Bankart lesions.
Methods: Review of 290 patients with bony Bankart lesions treated for anterior glenohumeral instability was conducted and patients were categorized into three groups based on GBL and GBF: Group A (GBL < 10% and GBF <10%), Group B (GBL ≥ 10% and GBF <10%), and Group C (GBL ≥10%, GBF ≥10%). Number of preoperative dislocations, time from the first instability, Western Ontario Shoulder Index (WOSI) scores, Hill-Sachs lesion (HSL) location (central or peripheral), HSL track status, and Glenoid Track Instability Management Score (GTIMS) were analyzed.
Comparison of Revision and Redislocation Rates After First-Time Anterior Shoulder Instability Between Subluxators and Dislocators: A Midterm Outcome Study.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UPMC Freddie Fu Sports Medicine Center, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Anterior shoulder instability is a common pathology seen especially in young men and highly active patient populations. Subluxation is a commonly encountered clinical issue, yet little is known about the effects of first-time subluxation compared with dislocation on shoulder stability and clinical outcomes after surgical stabilization.
Purpose: To compare revision and redislocation rates as well as patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between subluxators and dislocators after a first-time anterior shoulder instability event.
