Objective: The present study describes the management of suspected shoulder dislocations in ski field clinics.

Methods: Data were collected from two clinics in Queenstown, New Zealand. Suspected anterior shoulder dislocations, with no suspicion of significant fractures and without imaging, underwent attempted reduction.

Results: Ninety percent (n = 49) of dislocations were successfully relocated. No short-term complications because of this procedure were observed.

Conclusion: This short report raises the possibility that early anterior shoulder reduction in a ski field clinic can be safe without imaging, in select cases. Prospective studies including patient centred data are recommended.

Background: Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation is the most common type of joint dislocation, with an incidence of 11 to 29 per 100 000 persons per year. Controversy still surrounds the recommendations for treatment and the available procedures for surgical stabilization.

Methods: This review is based on pertinent publications (2014-2024) that were retrieved by a selective search in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases.

Background: Anterior glenoid bone defects significantly influence surgical outcomes in shoulder instability cases. Various measurement methods based on 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) have been developed. Recently, the simple linear formula method, which establishes a correlation between glenoid height and width, has emerged as a promising technique.

Background: There are various options of tendon transfer according to the different types of irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCTs). However, there were no clear treatment options for the IRCTs involving the anterior, superior and posterior rotator cuff tears (global IRCTs). Latissimus dorsi and teres major (LDTM) could be transferred anteriorly or posteriorly in global IRCTs.

BACKGROUND The Smovey Vibroswing exercise device consists of a circular tube containing 4 steel balls, partly covered by a cushioning handle, to strengthen the arm and shoulder muscles. This study aimed to compare the effects of using a Smovey Vibroswing versus dumbbell exercises on muscle activity and body composition of the upper limbs in 23 women under 30 years of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS Subjects were 23 women under the age of 30 years, residing in South Korea, with no musculoskeletal diseases or shoulder surgeries in the past year.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate sex-based disparities in outcomes following surgery for anterior shoulder instability and to assess the quality of the current literature on this topic.

Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a June 2023 database search (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cinahl) identified level I-III clinical studies on anterior shoulder instability (Jan 2003-May 2023). Eligible studies included male and female outcomes after anterior shoulder stabilization.
