Background: The original Latarjet-Patte procedure is a reliable procedure to treat traumatic anterior shoulder instability. However, attempts to reduce possible complications have led to the emergence of modified techniques. More prominently are the arthroscopic approach and the use of cortical-buttons for coracoid fixation.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty: Functional results in rotator cuff arthropathy.

Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)

February 2020

Grupo de Ombro e Cotovelo, Hospital Orthoservice, São José dos Campos, SP, Brasil.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed 20 patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty for rotator cuff arthropathy and evaluated their functional outcomes over an average follow-up of 42.4 months.
  • The patients displayed significant improvements in their post-operative scores across several metrics, including DASH, VAS, UCLA, and SF-36, indicating enhanced function and reduced pain levels.
  • While most patients reported good outcomes, some complications were noted, such as notching and one case of infection, but overall, the surgery substantially improved their quality of life.

ARTHROSCOPIC TREATMENT FOR LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS: OUTCOMES IN 104 CASES OF A SINGLE INSTITUTION.

Acta Ortop Bras

January 2019

Universidade de São Paulo, Faculdade de Medicina, Orthopedics and Traumatology Department, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of patients that underwent arthroscopic surgery for lateral epicondylitis (LE), after failed conservative treatment.

Methods: One hundred four patients with LE treated with arthroscopic debridement of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon were enrolled in this retrospective study. They were evaluated using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scale.

Snapping scapula syndrome: arthroscopic surgical treatment.

Rev Bras Ortop

October 2018

Grupo de Ombro e Cotovelo, Hospital Orthoservice, São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil.

Objectives: To evaluate the results of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgical treatment for snapping scapula syndrome.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of 11 patients undergoing scapulothoracic arthroscopy for the treatment of snapping scapula syndrome. The study included patients with clinical diagnosis of snapping scapula syndrome who did not show pain improvement after at least six months of physical therapy.

Snapping scapula syndrome has several etiologies, including subscapular osteochondroma. When this tumor needs to be removed, this can be done arthroscopically, a procedure that has restricted indications. The authors present a case of a patient with superomedial subscapular osteochondroma who underwent a scapulothoracic arthroscopy for its removal.

Objective: To evaluate the results of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgical treatment of refractory lateral epicondylitis, identifying poor prognosis factors.

Methods: A retrospective study of 44 patients (47 elbows) who underwent arthroscopic debridement of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon to treat refractory lateral epicondylitis from February 2013 to February 2015, operated by a single surgeon at one center. Patients were assessed by DASH score, visual analog scale of pain (VAS), and ShortForm 36 (SF-36).

Objective: To evaluate the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without contrast as a diagnostic method of partial lesions of the long head of the biceps, using arthroscopic surgery as the gold standard.

Methods: We evaluated data from MRI and arthroscopic surgical findings of patients operated due to rotator cuff and SLAP injuries. MRI without contrast of at least 1.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the effectiveness of different surgical techniques for treating acromioclavicular joint dislocations (grades III and V), focusing on using anchors without eyelet and comparing them with alternatives like tightrope and cerclage.
  • Researchers analyzed 36 patients’ outcomes using various metrics (including DASH, UCLA, VAS, and SF-36) and noted that the average scores indicated good results across all techniques, with no significant difference in effectiveness.
  • The findings revealed that while using anchors without eyelet had a shorter average surgical time, the final radiological results were notably influenced by the initial spacing in the acromioclavicular joint and measurements taken post-surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical results among patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of circumferential labral lesions.

Methods: This was a retrospective study on 10 patients who underwent arthroscopic repair to circumferential labral lesions of the shoulder, between September 2012 and September 2015. The patients were evaluated by means of the Carter-Rowe score, DASH score, UCLA score, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and Short-Form 36 (SF36).
