Background: Open Bankart surgery is the main treatment procedure in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, especially in cases with glenoid bone defect. The goal of this study was to determine the outcomes after open Bankart surgery in cases of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with glenoid bone defects and concomitant Hill-Sachs lesions. Methods: Between 2006 and 2010,...

BACKGROUND The subluxation construct has been a divisive term in the chiropractic profession. There is a paucity of evidence to document the subluxation. Some authors have questioned the propriety of continuing to use the term. AIM The purpose of this study is to examine current North American English language chiropractic college academic catalogs and determine the prevalence of the term sub...

Until relatively recently, discussion of shoulder instability referred only to traumatic and recurrent dislocations. Better clinical diagnosis and improved methods of investigation have now led to the recognition of subtle clinical lesions which present with no true dislocation, and show the increasing requirements of patients and sportsmen. Shoulder instability has become a fully-fledged syndr...

CONTEXT There exists controversy on the ability of a single or double anterior cruciate ligament graft technique to restore anterior cruciate ligament function. This article examines the published experimental and clinical data supporting these surgical procedures in the ability to restore knee stability. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION An analysis of anterior cruciate ligament function and single- and ...

Objectives: The objective of this study was to characterize epidemiology and postoperative outcomes in subluxators dislocators after a first-time anterior instability (FTAI) event. We hypothesized that would have milder clinical presentation, lesser degree pathology on imaging, fewer anchors placed intraoperatively comparison dislocators. Methods: Surgically managed FTAI patients from single in...

BACKGROUND Coronal tibiofemoral (CTF) subluxation is a common finding in knee osteoarthritis (OA) which can be related to poor pain scores and tibial spine impingement. In this study we describe a new method for measuring CTF subluxation and present validation of the method using cadaveric knees. METHODS A prototype software code based on the ICP mathematical algorithm was developed to measur...

We performed ninety-five consecutive Latarjet procedures for the treatment of recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder between 1969 and 1983. In 1993, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiographic results that were available for fifty-six patients (fifty-eight shoulders) who had been followed for an average of 143 years (range, ten to twenty-three years). The purpose of the st...
