AI Article Synopsis
- A humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL lesion) is an uncommon injury linked to traumatic shoulder instability, and it's especially rare when combined with a Bankart lesion, termed a floating inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL).
- A case study reports a 32-year-old woman who experienced her fourth shoulder dislocation and underwent arthroscopic repair, during which a flexible drill tip broke and had to be removed surgically later.
- Remarkably, three years post-surgery, the patient experienced no recurrence of dislocations and was able to continue skateboarding, which she enjoys.
Article Abstract
A humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL lesion) is a relatively rare pathology seen in patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability. A HAGL lesion combined with a Bankart lesion is called a floating inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) and is rare. We report a case of floating IGHL that could not be diagnosed before surgery. A 32-year-old female presented with a fourth dislocation and underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with the use of a flexible curved guide. During Bankart repair, the tip of the flexible drill was broken. We removed it under general anesthesia later. She had no recurrence three years after surgery and enjoyed skateboarding as a hobby.

Debridement Technique for Single-Stage Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
January 2025
Shoulder and Elbow Service, Florida Orthopaedic Institute, Tampa, Florida.
Background: The incidence of revision shoulder arthroplasty continues to rise, and infection is a common indication for revision surgery. Treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the shoulder remains a controversial topic, with the literature reporting varying methodologies, including the use of debridement and implant retention, single-stage and 2-stage surgeries, antibiotic spacers, and resection arthroplasty. Single-stage revision has been shown to have a low rate of recurrent infection, making it more favorable because it precludes the morbidity of a 2-stage operation.

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.
Objective The purpose of this study was to establish the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided hydrodilatation of the glenohumeral joint, in conjunction with corticosteroid injection, in alleviating pain and improving shoulder joint adhesion among patients with primary frozen shoulder (FS). Background: FS, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a pathological condition characterized by pain and potential functional impairment. The natural progression of FS involves three distinct stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing.

Reaching is a common daily activity requiring a range of humeral elevation that contributes to rotator cuff compression. The purpose of this study was to estimate supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendon compression risk relative to the acromion and coracoacromial ligament during reaching by manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury. A cross-sectional design was used to evaluate 8 participants (7 males, median [range] age 36 y [23-61]).

Background: Although arthroscopic Bankart repair for shoulder instability after a traumatic shoulder dislocation is a standard procedure, return-to-play rates for overhead-throwing athletes with shoulder instability on the throwing side have been reported to be lower than those in non-overhead athletes or in non-throwing shoulders. A recent technical report showed that the dynamic anterior glenohumeral capsular ligament tensioning (DAGHT) procedure in abducted external rotation, which mimics the late cocking phase of the throwing motion during surgery, may provide optimal tensioning of the anterior glenohumeral ligament. This study compared clinical outcomes and return to play after arthroscopic Bankart repair between DAGHT and a conventional procedure for overhead-throwing athletes with traumatic dislocation on the throwing side.
