AI Article Synopsis
- Shoulder dislocation is a common orthopedic injury, and this study compares two surgical options—Latarjet and modified Putti-Platt—for treating recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in 60 patients.
- The study measured functional outcomes using the Constant-Murley shoulder score after six months, with results showing most patients had excellent (55%) or good (35%) outcomes, and no significant differences between the two procedures.
- The conclusion suggests both surgical options are viable, with decisions based on patient specifics and surgeon choice, while highlighting a need for further research to improve techniques and identify the best candidates.
Article Abstract
Introduction Shoulder dislocation is the most common injury encountered in orthopedic outpatient department. The choice of procedure depends on the expertise of surgeons. The objective of this study was to compare the Latarjet procedure with the modified Putti-Platt surgery for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in terms of functional outcomes. Materials and methods A quasi-experimental study evaluated 60 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Patients were assigned to either Latarjet or modified Putti-Platt surgery. Functional outcomes were assessed at six months using the Constant-Murley shoulder score. Results This study encompassed 60 patients (mean age: 23.93±5.88 years) undergoing shoulder procedures. Functional outcomes exhibited a majority of 55% excellent, 35% good, 6.7% fair, and 3.3% poor outcomes. No significant differences in functional outcomes were found between the procedures. Conclusion Both procedures may be viable options for recurrent shoulder instability. The choice may depend on patient factors and surgeon preference. Further research is needed to refine techniques and identify ideal candidates.

Efficacy and Safety of Secondary Surgical Treatment for Refractory Recurrent Corneal Erosion.
Cornea
January 2025
Eyejun Ophthalmic Clinic, Seoul, Republic of Korea; and.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of secondary surgical intervention of combined phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) with alcohol delamination and peripheral anterior stromal puncture (ASP) for refractory recurrent corneal erosion (RCE).
Methods: This retrospective comparative study defined refractory RCE as cases persisting for more than 6 months after primary surgical intervention. A total of 115 eyes from 115 patients with refractory RCE, treated either with (n = 92) or without (n = 23) the secondary surgical treatment combining PTK and ASP between January 2021 and January 2023, were included.
Cellular Schwannoma Arising After the Resection of an Anterior Mediastinal Leiomyosarcoma.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of General Thoracic Surgery, National Hospital Organization Kure Medical Center and Chugoku Cancer Center, Kure, Japan.
Cellular schwannoma is a schwannoma subtype with histopathologic features resembling those of malignant tumors. We report a case of a cellular schwannoma arising at the resection margin of an anterior mediastinal leiomyosarcoma. An 88-year-old woman who had undergone resection of an anterior mediastinal leiomyosarcoma 2 years previously developed a mediastinal tumor at the resection margin, raising suspicion of leiomyosarcoma recurrence.

Purpose: Surgery for groin hernia is one of the most common operations in the world. Therefore, research concerning the outcomes of groin hernia surgery is extremely important both for the individual patient as well as for those providing the healthcare funding. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of hernia surgery in Sweden over a 30 year time period, from 1992 to 2021.

Anterior component separation techniques: is it necessary to preserve the perforators? a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Hernia

Department of Surgery, Montefiore Medical Center, NY, USA.
Background: Anterior component separation (ACS), or Ramirez component separation technique, is an established technique still used by surgeons to repair a ventral hernia. Compared with other ventral hernia repair techniques, recent studies about ACS show more postoperative complications like wound breakdown, wound infection, hematoma, skin necrosis, seroma, and recurrence. Our study aims to compare the ACS technique with the preservation perforator technique and verify if the perforator preservation technique can decrease postoperative complications.
