Background: Latarjet surgery and capsuloplasty are both valid alternatives for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability with limited glenoid bone loss, although in literature there is extensive discussion on it. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of these procedures in patients with similar lesions.
Methods: Between January 2000 to October 2020, 59 nonconsecutive patients suffering from anterior shoulder instability were treated, 33 had arthroscopic capsuloplasty (Group 1) and 26 had open Latarjet procedure (Group 2). The Group 1 was composed by 12% of female and 88% of males with the mean age at surgery 25.6 +/- 9.07 (15-49 years). In the Group 2, the 100% of patients were males with mean age 32.42 +/- 10.74 (16-56). Rowe Score, UCLA score and WOSI score were used to test patients.
Results: Only UCLA (average was 22.18 ± 6.13 for the Capsuloplasty and 26.76 ± 6.57 in the Latarjet, p = 0.01) and ROWE scores (average was 70.15 ± 24.75 in Latarjet and 50.15 ± 24.70 in Capsuloplasty, p = 0.002) showed a statistically significant difference between the two procedures, while the WOSI (mean results of Latarjet 0.31 ± 0.16 against 0.24 ± 0.09 of the capsuloplasty, p = 0.069) there was no significant difference between the two groups in question.
Conclusions: Apparently, the Latarjet surgery is better in terms of instability recurrence compared to capsuloplasty but has higher rate of shoulder joint osteoarthtritis. However, there are no significant differences that could decree which procedure is better. (www.actabiomedica.it).

Bankart lesions, or anterior-inferior glenoid labral tears, are diagnostically challenging on standard MRIs due to their subtle imaging features-often necessitating invasive MRI arthrograms (MRAs). This study develops deep learning (DL) models to detect Bankart lesions on both standard MRIs and MRAs, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce reliance on MRAs. We curated a dataset of 586 shoulder MRIs (335 standard, 251 MRAs) from 558 patients who underwent arthroscopy.

Background: Arthroscopic repair is recommended for patients with bony Bankart lesions to restore anterior shoulder stability and avoid recurrent glenohumeral instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients following arthroscopic bony Bankart repair using a single suture anchor fixation technique named the "door-locking" technique.
Methods: From January 2017 to February 2024, a consecutive series of 22 patients with acute bony Bankart lesions underwent shoulder arthroscopy.
Is The "Sling Effect" of the Conjoint Tendon in Latarjet Procedures Real? A Systematic Review and Descriptive Synthesis of Controlled Laboratory and Comparative Clinical Studies.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.
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: Usually, patients with hand, wrist/forearm disorders report musculoskeletal complaints in the shoulder. Although, role of scapula is fundamental for movement and functional stability across the upper limb kinetic chain; however, there are no systematic reviews and meta-analyses that have analyzed the effect of scapular exercises in these patients.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a scapular exercise program on functional outcomes in patients with hand, wrist or elbow disorders.
