Background: There is limited evidence examining glenoid osteotomy as a treatment for posterior shoulder instability.

Methods: A search of Medline, Embase, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted from the date of origin to 28th November 2019. Nine out of 3,408 retrieved studies met the inclusion criteria and quality was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies tool.

Results: In 356 shoulders, the main indication for osteotomy was excessive glenoid retroversion (greater than or equal to approximately -10°). The mean preoperative glenoid version was -15° (range, -35° to -5°). Post-operatively, the mean glenoid version was -6° (range, -28° to 13°) and an average correction of 10° (range, -1° to 30°) was observed. Range of motion increased significantly in most studies and all standardized outcome scores (Rowe, Constant-Murley, Oxford instability, Japan Shoulder Society Shoulder Instability Scoring and mean shoulder value) improved significantly with high rates of patient satisfaction (85%). A high complication rate (34%, = 120) was reported post-surgery, with frequent cases of persistent instability (20%, = 68) and fractures (e.g., glenoid neck and acromion) (4%, = 12). However, the revision rate was low (0.6%, = 2).

Conclusion: Glenoid osteotomy is an appropriate treatment for posterior shoulder instability secondary to excessive glenoid retroversion. However, the high rate of persistent instability should be considered when making treatment decisions. Systematic review; Level 4.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical, functional and radiological mid-term outcomes following posterior open-wedge glenoid osteotomy (POWGO) for the treatment of posterior shoulder instability (PSI) associated with increased glenoid retroversion.

Methods: Patients who underwent POWGO for the treatment of symptomatic PSI with glenoid retroversion >10° and participated in a previous study assessing short-term outcomes were included after a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Clinical (Rowe score and physical examination) and functional outcomes (Oxford Shoulder Instability Score [OSIS] and visual analogue scale [VAS] for pain) were assessed.

Three different kinds of condylar inclination were manually modelled anteriorly inclined condylar neck, vertical condylar neck, and posteriorly inclined condylar neck. Three different maxillary impactions were simulated to evaluate the effect of counterclockwise rotation. The von Misses stresses of the disc, compressive stresses of the glenoid fossa, and compressive stresses of the condyle were the highest in the models with posteriorly inclined neck and lowest in the models with vertical condylar neck design.

Background: Excessive glenoid retroversion is a known risk factor for posterior shoulder instability and failure after soft tissue stabilization procedures. Whether excessive glenoid retroversion is a risk factor for failure after posterior glenoid bone grafting is unknown.

Purpose: To evaluate the biomechanical effectiveness of posterior iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) for posterior shoulder instability with increasing glenoid retroversion.

Article Synopsis
  • Anterior shoulder dislocations are prevalent among young, active males, and open Bankart repair is recommended for recurrent instability due to its lower recurrence rates and quicker recovery compared to arthroscopic methods.
  • The open surgery involves a specific technique where the subscapularis tendon is "spared" by splitting it to minimize damage during repair, while a capsulotomy allows access to the joint for proper labrum repair using suture anchors.
  • Indications for this surgical approach include failed previous arthroscopic repair, multiple dislocations, and situations involving subcritical bone loss, especially in individuals engaged in high-risk sports.

Objective: Patients with brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBIs) are at risk for limitations in shoulder external rotation. The role of lower trapezius tendon transfer to restore shoulder external rotation in this population has not been well characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of lower trapezius tendon transfer for restoration of external rotation in a subset of pediatric patients.
