This systematic review investigates salvage techniques for recurrent instability following a Latarjet procedure. A search was conducted on MEDLINE and PubMed Central following the methodology registered to International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. Inclusion criteria focused on identifying revision procedures following a Latarjet procedure. Exclusion criteria filtered out irrelevant studies, such as those focused on Bankart procedures. After a multistage selection process, 10 eligible studies were included for data extraction. The most frequently utilized technique for salvage was variations of the Eden–Hybinette procedure. Complications associated with these salvage procedures include graft-related problems and donor site morbidity. Patients reported significant improvements in multiple patient-reported outcome scores, and multiple studies indicated high rates of return to sports activities. However, it is noteworthy that there remains an average recurrence rate of 7%. The review emphasizes the limited therapeutic options available largely due to shoulder anatomy alterations. Despite promising trends in patient-reported outcomes, recurrence remains possible post-salvage surgeries. Addressing recurrent instability after a Latarjet procedure continues to be a unique surgical challenge. However, this systematic review highlights encouraging indications, with positive trends evident in patient-reported outcomes.","PeriodicalId":507613,"journal":{"name":"Shoulder & Elbow","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139534275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we aimed to predict the repairability of the subscapularis tendon in reverse shoulder arthroplasty by looking at the radiological findings. A total of 107 shoulders of 101 patients were examined retrospectively. Preoperative and postoperative shoulder AP radiographs of the patients were evaluated according to acromiohumeral distance, lateral humeral offset, acromiohumeral distance difference, lateral humeral offset difference, Hamada classification, and rotator cuff Goutallier staging. The subscapularis tendon could not be repaired in 31 (28.97%) of 107 shoulders and could not be repaired in 13 of 17 patients who used an onlay prosthesis. There was no significant correlation between preoperative Hamada staging, preoperative lateral humeral offset and lateral humeral offset difference, and subscapularis repair ( p < 0.05). Preoperative and postoperative acromiohumeral distance cut-off values were found to be 0.59 and 3.22 cm, respectively. A statistically significant correlation was found in terms of preoperative acromiohumeral distance, postoperative acromiohumeral distance, acromiohumeral distance difference, Goutallier stage with the repair of subscapularis tendon. Fatty atrophy in rotator cuff muscles and distalization of the humerus can be considered as negative predictive values in terms of repairability of the subscapularis tendon.","PeriodicalId":507613,"journal":{"name":"Shoulder & Elbow","volume":"2 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139389647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe a modification to hydrodilatation of the frozen shoulder. Our technique describes the gradual dilation of the glenohumeral (GH) capsule with the goal of seeing a gentle release of the frozen shoulder. Furthermore, we outline our protocol for patient preparation with preprocedural diazepam 5 mg and Hydrocodone 5 mg-Acetaminophen 325 mg, one tablet each. During the procedure, we inject a solution of 10 mL lidocaine mixed with 2 mL of 40 mg/mL triamcinolone acetonide injection (80 mg total) through an anterior approach at the level of the rotator interval for pain control. Following this injection, we proceed to fenestrate the superior glenohumeral ligament (SGHL) in the process. We conclude the procedure with hydrodilatation of the GH joint (GHJ) through the posterior approach with approximately 50 mL of 0.9% normal saline, or until an expansion and release of the GH joint is visualized under ultrasound visualization.

As a result, it is important to understand the impact of shoulder surgery on a patient's sleep quality. A systematic literature review in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was performed to identify primary research articles reporting the relationship between sleep and shoulder surgery. The initial query yielded 276 articles. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 articles were included discussing the relationship between sleep and shoulder surgery. A total of 1097 patients were included in the 12 studies evaluating the impact of shoulder surgery on sleep quality, with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) as the most used survey. Average preoperative PSQI across studies was 9.9 (poor sleep), and postoperative PSQI scores of 5.4 at 6 months (improved sleep). Patients with shoulder pathologies have a poor sleep quality that improves after shoulder surgery. However, this improvement might not return sleep quality within the normal range, suggesting other factors might impact postoperative sleep quality.

Exclusion criteria included periprosthetic joint infection or lack of minimum 1 year clinical and radiographic follow-up. Included patients were contacted for clinical outcomes (American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) and Patient Satisfaction scores). A total of 24 patients were identified, and 22 out of 24 (92%) patients were available for clinical follow-up at a mean period of 3.4 years after final revision surgery. The mean age was 70 years, and 15 out of 22 (68%) patients were female. A total of 17 patients were revised to RSA, and five patients were revised to hemiarthroplasty. For the 22 included patients, the mean follow-up ASES score was 64.6, VAS pain was 2.4 and SANE was 58%, which were all significantly improved versus pre-revision. In total, 64% of patients were satisfied or completely satisfied. Revision surgery after glenoid baseplate failure in RSA yields unpredictable clinical outcomes.
