Background: Failure after isolated Bankart repair has led surgeons to consider when to address the Hill-Sachs lesion, which is thought to be a contributor to recurrent instability. One approach utilizes the glenoid track concept to determine whether a Hill-Sachs lesion is classified as "off-track," suggesting that the addition of a remplissage procedure may aid stability. However, the accuracy and reliability of using this approach require validation using an appropriate reference.
Purpose: To determine the accuracy and reliability of using the glenoid track concept against dynamic arthroscopic assessment of Hill-Sachs lesion engagement.
Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3.
Methods: A total of 49 patients undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair surgery for recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability were enrolled in this diagnostic validation study. Shoulders were classified as on-track or off-track using 3-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) and static arthroscopic measurements. These classifications were compared with dynamic arthroscopic assessment (engagement of the Hill-Sachs lesion on the anterior glenoid rim in the 'athletic position') to determine their accuracy and reliability.
Results: The 3DCT-based measurements to determine glenoid track status had a higher positive predictive value (66% vs 42%), higher specificity (47% vs 42%), and higher accuracy (65% vs 59%) compared with static arthroscopic measurements. Static arthroscopic measurements to determine glenoid track status had a higher negative predictive value (96% vs 64%) and higher sensitivity (96% vs 81%) compared with 3DCT-based measurements. Interrater reliability (Krippendorff α) was 'fair' for determining the glenoid track status using 3DCT (0.368; 95% CI, 0.217-0.519) and 'moderate' for static arthroscopic measurements (0.523; 95% CI, 0.364-0.666). Intrarater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] 3,) was 'moderate' for 3DCT measurements (0.660; 95% CI, 0.444-0.798) and 'good' for static arthroscopic measurements (0.769; 95% CI, 0.629-0.862).
Conclusion: Determining glenoid track status using either 3DCT or static arthroscopic measurements yielded moderate accuracy and reliability. Surgeons using the glenoid track concept to aid surgical decision-making in traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder instability should utilize 3DCT or static arthroscopic measurements with caution.

A Novel Proportional Method for the Simplified Assessment of Glenoid Bone Loss in Patients With Anterior Shoulder Instability.

Article Synopsis
- Surgical planning for anterior shoulder instability (ASI) requires accurate glenoid bone defect measurements, but existing methods are often complicated or impractical.
- The study developed a new measurement technique using CT scans that simplifies the assessment of anterior glenoid bone defects while maintaining accuracy.
- Results indicated that the new proportional method produced similar measurements to other established methods, with a convenient calculation of glenoid width based on height, while the CT-specific formula showed significant deviations in defect size and ratio.
Mid- to Long-Term Clinical Outcomes and Failure Rates After ALPSA Lesion Repair.
Am J Sports Med

Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
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.

Background: The concept of on-track versus off-track bone lesions in glenohumeral instability continues to evolve. Although much has been ascertained from an original biomechanical model, bony pathological changes, especially on 3-dimensional (3D) imaging, have not been fully evaluated.
Purpose: To compare the differences in on-track versus off-track lesions to characterize glenoid and humeral head bone defects using 3D modeling software.
