Bristow-Latarjet Surgery: A Current Overview in Brazil / Cirurgia de Bristow-Latarjet: Um panorama atual do Brasil

Abstract Objective To provide a current overview of the Bristow-Latarjet surgery in Brazil. Materials and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was based on an electronic questionnaire with 26 items, which was sent to active members of the Brazilian Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia do Ombro e Cotovelo, SBCOC, in Portuguese). The questionnaire addressed training, surgical technique, complications, and postoperative management. Results We sent the questionnaire to 845 specialists from April 20 to May 12, 2021, and 310 of them answered i in full. During their specialization, most specialists participated in up to ten Bristow-Latarjet procedures. The most frequent complication was graft fracture, while the most common technical difficulty was screw positioning. In total, 50.6% and 73.9% reported having experienced intraoperative and postoperative complications respectively; 57.1% declared performing subscapularis suture; 99.7% indicated postoperative immobilization; and 61.9% considered graft consolidation fundamental. Conclusion Most specialists participated in up to ten Bristow-Latarjet procedures during the specialization, but 13.5% of them graduated without participating in the surgery. The most frequent complication was graft fracture. The most common technical difficulty was screw positioning. Most participants prefer postoperative immobilization since they believe graft consolidation is essential to resume the practiced of sports. The highest complication rate occurred with specialists who have obtained their titles 11 to 15 years ago. In Brazil, the Southeast region is the largest producer of specialists and has the highest concentration of these professionals.

Resumo Objetivo Traçar um panorama atual da cirurgia de Bristow-Latarjet no Brasil. Materiais e Métodos Estudo transversal no qual um questionário eletrônico com 26 perguntas sobre aspectos de formação, técnica cirúrgica, complicações e manejo pós-cirúrgico foi enviado a membros ativos da Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia do Ombro e Cotovelo (SBCOC). Resultados Entre 20 de abril e 12 de maio de 2021, o questionário foi enviado a 845 especialistas, e obteve-se 310 respostas completas. Durante a especialização, a maior parte dos especialistas participou de até dez procedimentos de Bristow-Latarjet. A complicação mais frequente foi a fratura do enxerto, e a dificuldade técnica, o posicionamento dos parafusos. Ao todo, 50,6% já tiveram complicações no intraoperatório; 73,9% já tiveram complicações no pós-operatório; 57,1% fazem a sutura do subescapular; 99,7% indicam a imobilização no pós-operatório; e 61,9% consideram a consolidação do enxerto fundamental. Conclusão A maior parte dos especialistas participou de até dez procedimentos de Bristow-Latarjet durante a especialização, mas 13,5% se formaram sem ter participado de nenhuma cirurgia. A complicação mais frequente foi a fratura do enxerto. A dificuldade técnica mais frequente foi o posicionamento dos parafusos. Imobilização no pós-operatório é a preferência da maioria dos participantes, que consideram fundamental a consolidação do enxerto para o retorno ao esporte. O maior número de complicações ocorreu com especialistas que obtiveram o título de 11 a 15 anos atrás. A região Sudeste é a maior formadora de especialistas e onde está concentrada a maior parte deles.

Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Dislocation After Trauma with Coracoid Apophysis Fracture - A Rare Association / Luxação anterior recorrente do ombro após traumatismo com fratura apófise coracoide - Uma associação rara

Abstract Anterior dislocations represent about 96% of total shoulder dislocations, with recurrence/instability being more common in young patients. Injury of other shoulder structures is frequent, namely bony Bankart lesion. However, the association with coracoid apophysis fracture is very rare. The present article describes the clinical case of a 67-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with complaints of persistent omalgia, with acute episodes, beginning after a fall from his own height. The patient also presented history of shoulder trauma 3 months earlier, which was evaluated at another hospital. Shoulder anterior dislocation was observed radiographically, and the computed tomography (CT) confirmed bone erosion of the anteroinferior part of the glenoid (bone loss of about 50% of the anteroposterior diameter in the lower region of the glenoid), with almost complete resorption of the bony Bankart lesion (apparent in later analysis of the radiography of the initial traumatic episode). Connectedly, a transverse fracture of the coracoid apophysis (type II in the Ogawa classification) was diagnosed. The patient was submitted to surgical treatment, with anterior bone stop confection using the remnant of the fractured fragment of the coracoid supplemented by tricortical autologous iliac graft, fixed with cannulated screws (according to the Bristow-Latarjet and Eden-Hybinett techniques). In the postoperative follow-up, a good functional result was observed, with no new episodes of dislocation and no significant pain complaints. A rare association of shoulder lesions is described, and the challenge of their treatment is highlighted, given the late diagnosis, as in the case presented.

Resumo As luxações anteriores representam cerca de 96% do total de luxações do ombro, sendo a recidiva/instabilidade mais comum em pacientes jovens. A lesão de outras estruturas do ombro é frequente, nomeadamente a lesão óssea de Bankart. Contudo, a associação com a fratura da apófise coracoide é muito rara. Este artigo descreve o caso clínico de um homem de 67 anos que recorreu ao serviço de urgência com queixas de omalgia persistente, com episódios de agudização, iniciados após queda da própria altura. O paciente apresentava ainda histórico de trauma do ombro 3 meses antes, avaliado em outro hospital. A luxação anterior do ombro foi constatada radiograficamente, e a tomografia computorizada (TC) do ombro confirmou erosão óssea da vertente anteroinferior da glenoide (perda óssea de cerca de 50% do diâmetro anteroposterior na região inferior da glenoide), com reabsorção quase completa de lesão óssea de Bankart (aparente em análise a posteriori da radiografia do episódio traumático inicial). Associadamente, foi diagnosticada uma fratura transversa da apófise coracoide (tipo II da classificação de Ogawa). O paciente foi submetido ao tratamento cirúrgico, com confecção do batente ósseo anterior utilizando remanescente do fragmento fraturado do coracoide suplementado por enxerto autólogo tricortical do ilíaco, fixados com parafusos canulados (de acordo com as técnicas de Bristow-Latarjet e Eden-Hybinett). No seguimento pós-operatório, foi observado um bom resultado funcional, sem novos episódios de luxação e sem queixas álgicas significativas. Descreve-se uma associação rara de lesões do ombro, e salienta-se o desafio do tratamento das mesmas dado o seu diagnóstico tardio, como no caso apresentado.

Functional Shoulder Evaluation after Osteosynthesis of Greater Tuberosity Fracture: Is There any Influence of Glenohumeral Dislocation? / Avaliação funcional do ombro após osteossíntese da fratura da tuberosidade maior: Há influência da luxação glenoumeral?

Abstract Objective To evaluate the postoperative functional and radiographic outcomes of the shoulder of patients submitted to transosseous suturing of a greater tuberosity fracture (GTF) through an anterolateral route and the influence of the glenohumeral dislocation on these outcomes. Methods We conducted a retrospective study and functional assessment using the Constant-Murley score. The distance between the greater tuberosity and the joint surface of the proximal humerus (in true anteroposterior radiographs) after the union was calculated. We used the Fisher exact test for the categorical independent variables, and the Student t or Mann-Whitney test for the non-categorical variables. Results In total, 26 patients met the inclusion criteria, and 38% of the sample presented an association between glenohumeral dislocation and GTF. The mean Constant-Murley score was of 82.5 + 8.02 points. The presence of an associated dislocation did not alter the functional outcome. The mean distance between the greater tuberosity of the humerus and the joint surface of the humeral head after the union was of 9 + 4.3 mm below the articular line of the humeral head. The dislocation led to a lower level of reduction, but this did not influence the Constant-Murley score. Conclusion The cases of GTF submitted to surgical treatment with transosseous sutures had good functional outcomes. The presence of dislocation made the anatomical reduction of the greater tuberosity difficult. However, it did not influence the Constant-Murley score.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar os resultados funcional e radiográfico pós-operatórios do ombro, em pacientes submetidos a sutura transóssea de fratura da tuberosidade maior (FTM) por acesso anterolateral, e a influência da luxação glenoumeral nesses resultados. Métodos Realizou-se estudo retrospectivo e avaliação funcional (pela escala de Constant-Murley). Calculou-se a distância entre a tuberosidade maior e a superfície articular do úmero proximal (por meio de radiografia em incidência anteroposterior verdadeira) após a consolidação. Usou-se o teste Exato de Fisher para as variáveis independentes categóricas, e os testes tde Student ou de Mann-Whitney para as não categóricas. Resultados Ao todo, 26 pacientes preencheram os critérios de inclusão. A associação de luxação glenoumeral com FTM foi observada em 38% da amostra. A média da pontuação na escala de Constant-Murley foi de 82,5 + 8,02. A presença de luxação associada não alterou o resultado funcional. A distância média da consolidação da tuberosidade maior do úmero em relação à superfície articular da cabeça umeral foi de 9 + 4,3 mm abaixo da linha articular da cabeça umeral. Pacientes com luxação associada evoluíram com redução menor, mas isso não influenciou na pontuação na escala de Constant-Murley. Conclusão As FTMs submetidas ao tratamento cirúrgico com sutura transóssea evoluíram com bom resultado funcional. A presença de luxação dificultou a redução anatômica da tuberosidade maior. Entretanto, isso não influenciou na pontuação na escala de Constant-Murley.

Se registraron las complicaciones y las revisiones.Resultados: el seguimiento promedio fue de 42.6 meses (rango 24 a 92 meses). El score de Rowe, la EVA y el ASOSS mejoraron significativamente luego de la cirugía (p <0.1). Nueve pacientes retornaron al deporte, ocho de ellos al mismo nivel. El injerto óseo consolidó en todos los pacientes. No hubo recurrencias. No se reportaron complicaciones.Conclusión: el injerto autólogo de cresta ilíaca es una opción válida para el tratamiento de deportistas con inestabilidad glenohumeral recurrente luego de una estabilización previa fallida con cirugía de Latarjet. Nivel de Evidencia: IV

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to report the functional results, return to sport, consolidation rate and complications in young athletes with a previous failed Latarjet surgery, treated with an autologous iliac crest graft.Materials and methods: between 2017 and 2020, twelve patients with recurrent glenohumeral instability were operated on at our institution after previous failed stabilization with Latarjet surgery with autologous iliac crest graft as revision surgery. Functional evaluation was performed with the Rowe score, the VAS, and the ASOSS score. We evaluated the percentage of return to sport, the level reached, and the time it took the athletes to compete again. Bone consolidation and the adequate position of the graft were evaluated in all cases with front and profile X-rays of the shoulder and computed tomography with 3D reconstruction. Complications and revisions were recorded.Results: the average follow-up was 42.6 months (range 24 to 92 months). The Rowe score, visual analog scale, and ASOSS were significantly improved after surgery (p <0.1). Nine patients returned to sport, eight of them at the same level. The bone graft consolidated in all patients. There were no recurrences. No complications were reported.Conclusion: autologous iliac crest grafting is a valid option for the treatment of athletes with recurrent glenohumeral instability after previous failed stabilization with a Latarjet procedure. Level of Evidence: IV

Evaluation of Screws Positioning in Latarjet Surgery: Is There a Correlation between Parallelism to Glenoid and Radiographic Complications? / Avaliação do posicionamento dos parafusos na cirurgia de Latarjet: Existe correlação entre paralelismo à glenoide e complicações radiográficas?

Abstract Objective To evaluate whether the parallelism of screws with glenoid in Latarjet surgery interferes in the positioning of the graft and to verify the reproducibility of a method of measuring screws positioning. Methods Retrospective, multicenter study, of patients with anterior shoulder instability submitted to modified Latarjet surgery and at least one year of postoperative follow-up. Two radiologists analyzed the postoperative tomographic images, acquired in a database, to evaluate the positioning of screws and radiographic complications. Results We evaluated 34 patients, aged between 21 and 60 years, one of them with bilateral shoulder involvement, totaling 35 shoulders evaluated. The tomographic evaluation of the inclination angles of the screws showed no difference between the observers. There was intra- and interobserver agreement to evaluate the following surgical parameters: graft position, presence or not of radiographic complications. Conclusion The technique described for measuring the parallelism of screws in Latarjet surgery presented a very good and excellent intra-observer agreement, respectively. Screw parallelism with glenoid is recommended; however, it is not a mandatory and unique condition to avoid radiographic complications.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar se o paralelismo dos parafusos com a glenoide na cirurgia de Latarjet interfere no posicionamento do enxerto e verificar a reprodutibilidade de um método de mensuração da posição dos parafusos. Métodos Estudo retrospectivo, multicêntrico, de pacientes com instabilidade anterior do ombro submetidos à cirurgia de Latarjet modificada e no mínimo 1 ano de seguimento pós-operatório. Dois médicos radiologistas analisaram as imagens tomográficas pós-operatórias, adquiridas em um banco de dados, para avaliação do posicionamento dos parafusos e das complicações radiográficas. Resultados Foram avaliados 34 pacientes, com idades entre 21 e 60 anos, sendo que um deles tinha acometimento bilateral dos ombros, totalizando 35 ombros avaliados. A avaliação tomográfica dos ângulos de inclinação dos parafusos não apresentou diferença entre os observadores. Houve concordância intra e interobservador para avaliação dos seguintes parâmetros cirúrgicos: posição do enxerto, presença ou não de complicações radiográficas. Conclusão A técnica descrita para mensuração do paralelismo dos parafusos na cirurgia de Latarjet apresentou uma concordância intra e inter observador muito boa e excelente, respectivamente. O paralelismo do parafuso com a glenoide é recomendado; no entanto, não é condição obrigatória e única para se evitar as complicações radiográficas.

Ictiosis vulgar asociada a síndrome de Ehlers Danlos tipo clásico en una niña / Ichthyosis Vulgaris Associated with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Classic Type in a Girl

Introducción: La ictiosis vulgar y el síndrome de Ehlers Danlos tipo clásico integran dos genodermatosis que presentan en común un patrón de herencia autosómico dominante, pero muestran manifestaciones clínicas variadas. Es infrecuente encontrar concomitancia de ambas dermatosis en un mismo paciente, y cuando ocurre la heterogeneidad clínica hace complejo el diagnóstico. Objetivo: Exponer un caso que presentó ictiosis vulgar asociada con el síndrome de Ehlers Danlos tipo clásico, en el que el análisis del árbol genealógico contribuyó a orientar el diagnóstico. Presentación del caso: Paciente femenina de 10 años de edad, atendida en la consulta especializada de genodermatosis en Las Tunas. Presentaba, desde edades tempranas, lesiones escamosas localizadas en las piernas y brazos, y que empeoraban durante el invierno. Desde los nueve años comenzó a mostrar luxaciones frecuentes de hombro derecho e hiperextensibilidad de la piel. Constaban antecedentes familiares de piel escamosa en miembros de la familia materna e hipermovilidad articular en varios miembros de la familia paterna: El árbol genealógico contribuyó a orientar el diagnóstico y a realizar la atención médica adecuada. Conclusiones: Se trató un caso interesante porque resulta infrecuente encontrar en un mismo paciente dos enfermedades genéticas, lo cual implicó dificultades en el momento de confirmar el diagnóstico, así como su atención. A este diagnóstico, en el caso de ambas genodermatosis, contribuyó el análisis del árbol genealógico familiar, herramienta fundamental en la determinación de enfermedades genéticas(AU)

Introduction: Ichthyosis vulgaris and Ehlers Danlos syndrome classic type comprise two genodermatoses that share an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, but show varied clinical manifestations. It is rare to find concomitance of both dermatoses in the same patient, and when this occurs the clinical heterogeneity makes the diagnosis complex. Objective: To present a case of ichthyosis vulgaris associated with classic Ehlers Danlos syndrome, in which analysis of the family tree helped to guide the diagnosis. Case presentation: 10-year-old female patient seen at the specialised genodermatosis clinic in Las Tunas. She presented, from an early age, with scaly lesions located on the legs and arms, which worsened during the winter. From the age of nine he began to show frequent dislocations of the right shoulder and hyperextensibility of the skin. There was a family history of scaly skin in members of the maternal family and joint hypermobility in several members of the paternal family: the family tree helped to guide the diagnosis and appropriate medical care. Conclusions: This was an interesting case because it is rare to find two genetic diseases in the same patient, which implied difficulties at the time of confirming the diagnosis, as well as its care. The analysis of the family tree, a fundamental tool in the determination of genetic diseases, contributed to this diagnosis in the case of both genodermatoses(AU)

Lesión de Bony Bankart: conceptos fundamentales para su comprensión y tratamiento / Bony Bankart lesions: fundamental concepts to understand and treat them

Las lesiones óseas en el borde anterior del anillo glenoideo secundarias a un episodio de inestabilidad anterior del hombro cada vez son más reportadas. Conocidas como lesión de Bony Bankart, su presencia genera una pérdida de la estabilidad estática glenohumeral que provoca un aumento del riesgo de un nuevo evento de luxación. Por ende, resulta fundamental que los cirujanos ortopédicos comprendan y diagnostiquen estas lesiones de forma correcta y oportuna para evaluar la necesidad de restaurar la superficie articular glenoidea. El objetivo de esta revisión narrativa es otorgar los conceptos más importantes de la lesión ósea de Bankart para comprender y enfrentar de forma adecuada esta lesión.

Bony lesions of the anterior glenoid rim secondary to an episode of anterior instability of the shoulder are increasingly being reported. Known as a bony Bankart lesion, its presence generates a loss of static glenohumeral stability that causes an increased risk of a new dislocation event. Therefore, it is essential that orthopedic surgeons correctly and accurately diagnose these injuries to assess the need to restore the glenoid articular surface. The purpose of the present narrative review is to provide the essential concepts of the bony Bankart lesion to properly understand and deal with this type of injury.

Prognostic Factors of the Latarjet Procedure / Fatores prognósticos da cirurgia de Latarjet

Abstract Objective To investigate the factors that influence the functional results of patients submitted to the Latarjet procedure. Methods Evaluation of 26 patients submitted to surgical treatment following the Latarjet technique due to traumatic recurrent anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint, with glenoidal bone loss greater than 20% and/or off-track injury. The minimum follow-up time was of 12 months. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), and the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) scales, as well as objective data from the participants, were evaluated. Results Most patients (84.62%) did not present recurrence of the dislocation, and 92.31% were satisfied. Regarding the functional analysis, the physical component score (PCS) and the mental component score (MCS) found were within the mean quality of life of the population. The physical symptoms, according to the WOSI, presented the best percentage (8.5%), while the worst result was observed regarding lifestyle (20%). On the VAS, pain was classified as moderate (3/10) by 15.38% of the patients (4/26). In relation to sports, patients who practice sports showed improvement in SSV parameters, which had an inverse relationship with the number of relapses. It was also observed that the shorter the time between the first dislocation and the surgery, the greater the patient's satisfaction. Conclusion Early indication of surgical treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability may provide better subjective functional results to the patient.

Resumo Objetivo Investigar os fatores que influenciam os resultados funcionais dos pacientes submetidos ao procedimento de Latarjet. Métodos Avaliação de 26 pacientes submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico, seguindo a técnica de Latarjet, devido a luxação anterior recidivante traumática da articulação glenoumeral, com perda óssea glenoidal maior do que 20% e/ou lesão off-track. O tempo mínimo de seguimento foi de doze meses. Foram avaliadas as seguintes escalas: Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), e Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), além dos dados objetivos dos participantes. Resultados A maioria dos pacientes (84,62%) não apresentou recidiva de luxação, e 92,31% ficaram satisfeitos. Em relação à análise funcional, a pontuação do componente físico (PCF) e a pontuação do compenente mental (PCM) encontradas estavam dentro da média de qualidade de vida da população. Os sintomas físicos, pela escala WOSI, apresentaram a melhor porcentagem (8,5%), ao passo que o pior resultado foi observado com relação ao estilo de vida (20%). Na EVA, a dor foi classificada como moderada (3/10) por 15,38% dos pacientes (4/26). Em relação aos esportes, os pacientes que praticavam alguma atividade esportiva apresentaram melhora nos parâmetros da escala SSV, que tiveram relação inversa com o número de recidivas. Observou-se ainda que, quanto menor foi o tempo entre a primeira luxação e a realização da cirurgia, maior foi a satisfação do paciente. Conclusão A indicação precoce do tratamento cirúrgico da instabilidade anterior glenoumeral pode proporcionar melhores resultados funcionais subjetivos ao paciente.

Clinical Validation of the Glenoid Track Concept in Anterior Glenohumeral Instability / Validação clínica do conceito de glenoid track na instabilidade glenoumeral anterior

Abstract Objective To evaluate the correlation of the glenoid track and glenoidal bone loss with the recurrence dislocation rate and the Rowe score. Methods Retrospective study that assessed the glenoid track and glenoidal bone loss through preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Patients undergoing primary arthroscopic repair of anterior Bankart were included. Patients with glenoidal bone loss greater than 21%, rotator cuff tear, scapular waist fracture, and posterior or multidirectional instability were not included. Rowe score were the primary outcome, and the recurrence rate was the secondary outcome. Results One hundred and two patients were included. Postoperative recurrent instability was reported by 8 patients (7.8%). Four patients (50%) in the group with recurrence presented glenoidal bone loss greater than 13.5% against 24 (25.5%) in the group without recurrence (p= 0.210), with a negative predictive value of 94.6%. Three patients (37.5%) in the recurrence group were considered off-track, against 13 (13.8%) in the group without recurrence (p= 0.109), with a negative predictive value of 94.2%. Patients with absolute glenoid track value ≤ 1.5 mm had worse results in relation to the recurrence group, with 6 patients (75%) presenting recurrence (p= 0.003). Conclusion Off-track injury and glenoidal bone loss greater than the subcritical are not related to the recurrence rate and Rowe score, despite the high negative predictive value. The cut of the absolute value of the glenoid track at 1.5 mm had a significant relationship with the recurrence rate.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a correlação do conceito de glenoid track e da perda óssea da cavidade glenoidal com a taxa de recidiva de luxação e pontuação na escala de Rowe. Métodos Estudo retrospectivo que aferiu o glenoid track e a perda óssea da cavidade glenoidal por ressonância magnética pré-operatória. Foram incluídos pacientes submetidos a reparo artroscópico primário de Bankart anterior. Não foram incluídos pacientes com perda óssea da cavidade glenoidal maior que 21%, rotura do manguito rotador, fratura de cintura escapular, instabilidade posterior ou multidirecional. A pontuação pela escala de Rowe foi o desfecho primário, e a taxa de recidiva foi o desfecho secundário. Resultados Cento e dois pacientes foram incluídos. A recidiva foi relatada por 8 pacientes (7,8%). Quatro pacientes (50%) do grupo com recidiva apresentaram lesão da cavidade glenoidal maior que 13,5% contra 24 (25,5%) do grupo sem recidiva (p= 0,210), com valor preditivo negativo de 94,6%. Três pacientes (37,5%) do grupo com recidiva foram considerados off-track, contra 13 (13,8%) do grupo sem recidiva (p= 0,109), com valor preditivo negativo de 94,2%. Pacientes com valor absoluto do glenoid track menor ou igual a 1,5 mm tiveram piores resultados em relação ao grupo com recidiva, sendo que 6 pacientes (75%) apresentaram recidiva (p= 0,003). Conclusão Lesão off-track e perda óssea da cavidade glenoidal maior que a subcrítica não apresentam relação significativa com a taxa de recidiva e a pontuação de Rowe, apesar do alto valor preditivo negativo. O corte do valor absoluto do glenoid track em 1,5 mm apresentou relação significativa com a taxa de recidiva.

Isokinetic Evaluation of the Shoulder After Bristow/Latarjet Surgical Procedure in Athletes / Avaliação isocinética do ombro após procedimento cirúrgico de Bristow/Latarjet em atletas

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the muscular strength of the internal (IR) and external (ER) rotators of the shoulder after Bristow/Latarjet surgery. Methods Cross-sectional study with 18 patients (36 shoulders). The isokinetic evaluation was performed using the Biodex 3 System Pro dynamometer (Biodex Medical System, Inc., Shirley, NY, USA). The athletic shoulder outcome rating scale (ASORS) and the visual analogue scale (VAS) were applied. Results The values of peak torque and maximum work in concentric and eccentric mode on the non-operated shoulder were higher than on the operated side for both the IR and ER (p< 0.01). The conventional and functional balance between the ER and IR showed no differences between the operated and the non-operated side. When comparing patients with postoperative time < 1 year or 1 year, no differences were observed in peak torque values at 60°/s and 240°/s and maximum work at 60°/s and 240°/s of the IR to the operated shoulder. However, the peak torque values of 60°/s and 240°/s and maximum work at 60°/s and 240°/s of the ER were higher in subjects with postoperative time ≥ 1 year in all variables (p< 0.05). Conclusions There was a decrease in the strength of the IR and ER in the operated shoulder compared with the healthy shoulder. However, the conventional and functional balance was maintained.

Resumo Objetivos Avaliar a força muscular dos rotadores medial (RM) e lateral (RL) do ombro após cirurgia de Bristow/Latarjet. Métodos Estudo transversal com 18 pacientes (36 ombros). A avaliação isocinética foi realizada por meio do dinamômetro Biodex 3 System Pro (Biodex Medical System, Inc., Shirley, NY, EUA). A escala de avaliação dos resultados do ombro do esportista (EROE) e a escala visual analógica (EVA) da dor foram aplicadas. Resultados Os valores do pico de torque e o trabalho máximo no modo concêntrico e excêntrico no ombro não-operado foram maiores que no lado operado, tanto para o RM e como para o RL (p< 0,01). O equilíbrio convencional e funcional entre o RL e o RM não apresentou diferenças entre o lado operado e o não operado. Na comparação entre pacientes com o tempo pós-operatório < 1 ano ou ≥ 1 ano, não se observou diferenças nos valores do pico de torque em 60°/s e 240°/s e do trabalho máximo em 60°/s e 240°/s do RM para o ombro operado. No entanto, os valores de do pico de torque em 60°/s e 240°/s e do trabalho máximo em 60°/s e 240°/s do RL foram superiores em indivíduos com tempo pós-cirúrgico ≥ 1 ano em todas as variáveis (p< 0,05). Conclusões Houve diminuição da força do RM e do RL no ombro operado em relação ao ombro saudável; porém, o equilíbrio convencional e funcional foi mantido.

Arthroscopy Limits on Anterior Shoulder Instability / Limites da artroscopia na instabilidade anterior do ombro

Abstract Much is discussed about the limits of the treatment of anterior shoulder instability by arthroscopy. The advance in understanding the biomechanical repercussions of bipolar lesions on shoulder stability, as well as in the identification of factors related to the higher risk of recurrence have helped us to define, more accurately, the limits of arthroscopic repair. We emphasize the importance of differentiation between glenoid bone loss due to erosion (GBLE) and glenoid edge fractures, because the prognosis of treatment differs between these forms of glenoid bone failure. In this context, we understand that there are three types of bone failure: a) bone Bankart (fracture); b) combined; and c) glenoid bone loss due to anterior erosion (GBLE), and we will address the suggested treatment options in each situation. Until recently, the choice of surgical method was basically made by the degree of bone involvement. With the evolution of knowledge, the biomechanics of bipolar lesions and the concept of glenoid track, the cutoff point of critical injury, has been altered with a downward trend. In addition to bone failures or losses, other variables were added and made the decision more complex, but a little more objective. The present update article aims to make a brief review of the anatomy with the main lesions found in instability; to address important details in arthroscopic surgical technique, especially in complex cases, and to bring current evidence on the issues of greatest divergence, seeking to guide the surgeon in decision making.

Resumo Muito se discute sobre os limites do tratamento da instabilidade anterior do ombro por artroscopia. O avanço no entendimento das repercussões biomecânicas das lesões bipolares sobre a estabilidade do ombro, bem como na identificação de fatores relacionados ao maior risco de recidiva têm nos ajudado a definir, de forma mais apurada, os limites do reparo por via artroscópica. Ressaltamos a importância de diferenciação entre perda óssea por erosão da glenoide (POAG) e fraturas da borda da glenoide, pois o prognóstico do tratamento diverge entre essas formas de falha óssea da glenoide. Neste contexto, entendemos que há três tipos de falha óssea: a) Bankart ósseo (fratura); b) combinada; e c) POAG, e abordaremos as opções de tratamento sugerido em cada situação. Até há pouco tempo, a escolha do método cirúrgico era norteada basicamente pelo grau de acometimento ósseo. Com a evolução do conhecimento, da biomecânica das lesões bipolares e do conceito do glenoid track (trilho da glenoide), o ponto de corte da lesão crítica, vem sendo alterado com tendência de queda. Além das falhas ou perdas ósseas, outras variáveis foram adicionadas e tornaram a decisão mais complexa, porém um pouco mais objetiva. O presente artigo de atualização tem como objetivo fazer uma breve revisão da anatomia com as principais lesões encontradas na instabilidade; abordar detalhes importantes na técnica cirúrgica artroscópica, em especial nos casos complexos, e trazer as evidências atuais sobre os assuntos de maior divergência, buscando guiar o cirurgião na tomada de decisão.

Reduccion de la luxación glenohumeral anteroinferior aguda en el sistema de salud de la Argentina. Perspectiva nacional / Reduction of acute anterior inferior glenohumeral joint dislocation in the Argentine health care system. A national perspective

Objetivo: Conocer los métodos utilizados para el tratamiento inicial del primer episodio de luxación glenohumeral anteroinferior aguda y comparar las conductas entre los diferentes niveles de especialización. Nuestra hipótesis es que los métodos utilizados en la Argentina presentan una gran variabilidad. materiales y métodos: Se realizó una encuesta mediante formularios de Google, que se difundió a través del Comité de Morbimortalidad de la Asociación Argentina de Ortopedia y Traumatología y la Asociación Argentina de Cirugía de Hombro y Codo. El cuestionario consta de 13 preguntas con respuesta de opción múltiple que incluyen: grado de especialización, ámbito laboral, maniobras utilizadas, empleo de anestesia, complicaciones, posición y tiempo de inmovilización. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 429 respuestas completas. El 52,2% utiliza la maniobra de Kocher como primera elección, seguida del método hipocrático (15,9%). El 72% no utiliza anestesia inicialmente para la reducción; se halló una diferencia esta-dísticamente significativa entre el uso de anestesia y los diferentes niveles de especialización (p = 0,046). De los 120 médicos que sí la emplean, el 85,8% recurre a la anestesia general o la sedación. El 74,8% inmoviliza al paciente en aducción y rotación interna. El 13,8% de los participantes refiere haber tenido alguna complicación relacionada con la reducción. Conclusiones: Existe una gran variabilidad en los métodos utilizados para la reducción de un primer episodio de luxación glenohumeral anteroinferior en los servicios de emergencia de la Argentina. Consideramos oportuno replantear el uso de la anestesia, y proponer la anestesia intra-articular como primera opción. Nivel de Evidencia: IIC

Objective: To know the methods used for the initial treatment of the first episode of acute anterior inferior glenohumeral dislocation and to compare the behaviors of physicians between the different levels of specialization. Our hypothesis was that there is great variability in the methods used in Argentina. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted using the Google forms platform. It was disseminated through the morbidity and mortality committee of the AAOT and the Argentinian Association of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. The questionnaire consisted of 13 questions with multiple choice answers that included the degree of specialization, work environment, maneuvers, anesthesia, complications, position, and immobilization time. Results: 429 complete answers were obtained. 52.2% use the Kocher maneuver as their first choice, followed by the Hippocratic method (15.9%). 72% do not use anesthesia to perform the reduction, there is a statistically significant difference between the use of anesthesia and the different levels of specialization (p = 0.046). 85.8% of the 120 surgeons who use anesthesia for the reduction, use general anesthesia or sedation. 74.8% immobilize the patient in adduction and internal rotation. 13.8% reported having complications related to the reduction. Conclusions: There is a great variability regarding the methods used to reduce a first episode of LGHAI in the emergency services in Argentina. We believe it is important to reconsider the use of anesthesia, proposing intra-articular anesthesia as the first option, if needed. Level of Evidence: IIC

Medición de la pérdida ósea glenoidea y defecto de Hill-Sachs por resonancia magnética: estudio de correlación y concordancia con la medición por tomografía computarizada / Measurement of glenoid bone loss and Hill­Sachs defect by magnetic resonance imaging: Correlation and concordance study with computed tomography measurement

Introducción Se pretende definir si la medición de los defectos glenoideos y de Hills-Sachs por resonancia magnética es equivalente a la medición a través de tomografía simple en pacientes con inestabilidad anterior de hombro. Materiales y métodos Estudio observacional descriptivo, tipo transversal de una cohorte de estudios de imagenología de pacientes con antecedente de luxación anterior de hombro, los cuales comprenden resonancia magnética y tomografías simples de hombro, realizadas en un hospital de cuarto nivel. Resultados La cohorte estuvo conformada por 20 casos; se encontró una alta correlación y estadísticamente significativa para la medición del diámetro y defecto glenoideo, con una p<0.05 entre la resonancia y la tomografía simple. Además, se encontró con significancia estadística la medición del intervalo del Hill-Sachs, pero el índice de correlación no fue alto, 60%. Para la concordancia intraobservador, se calculó un índice Kappa para la resonancia magnética de 0.8 comparado con la tomografía con valor de p <0.05 significativo para los defectos enganchantes y no enganchantes. Conclusión La resonancia magnética simple es un método de imagen confiable con alto índice de correlación para la medición del diámetro y los defectos glenoideos con buena concordancia para establecer si los defectos de Hill-Sachs son enganchantes o no.

Introduction The aim is to define whether the measurement of glenoid and Hill­Sachs defects by magnetic resonance imaging is equivalent to the measurement by simple tomography in patients with anterior shoulder instability. Materials and methods Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study of a cohort of imaging studies of patients with a history of anterior shoulder dislocation, comprising magnetic resonance and simple tomography of the shoulder, performed in a fourth level hospital. Results The cohort consisted of 20 cases; a high and statistically significant correlation was found for the measurement of the glenoid diameter and defect, with a p<0.05 between the MRI and simple tomography. In addition, the Hill­Sachs interval measurement was found to be statistically significant, but the correlation index was not high, 60%. For intraobserver agreement, a Kappa index was calculated for MRI of 0.8 compared to CT with p-value <0.05 significant for engaging and non-engaging defects. Conclusion Simple MRI is a reliable imaging method with high correlation index for the measurement of diameter and glenoid defects with good agreement to establish whether Hill­Sachs defects are engaging or not.

Axial view of the shoulder. Description of a technique / Proyección axial de hombro. Descripción de una técnica

Shoulder fracture is one of the most frequently treated injuries in trauma centers, with an overall incidence that appears to have increased in recent years, ranging from 219 to 419 cases per 100 000 person-years. In clinical terms, shoulder girdle injury is difficult to diagnose due to the close relationship between the shoulder and the chest, and imaging identification of the different types of injuries can be challenging. In this context, X-rays are the most appropriate method and the cornerstone of the initial approach to shoulder trauma, and at least 3 views are recommended: true anteroposterior view (AP), axial or axillary projection or modified axial projection (Velpeau view), and lateral scapula shoulder or Y view. However, patient positioning is often problematic due to the additional pain associated with limb mobilization in order to achieve the proper position for radiographic projection. The following is the description of a technique for performing an axial shoulder projection that is free of these complications, easy to standardize, and applicable to any traumatic or degenerative disease of the proximal humerus or glenohumeral joint, which, to the best of the authors' knowledge, has not been previously published.

El trauma de hombro es una de las patologías más frecuentemente vista en los centros de trauma con una incidencia global que aparentemente ha aumentado en los últimos años y que se ha reportado entre 219 a 419 casos por 100000 personas-año. El diagnóstico del trauma de la cintura escapular no es fácil clínicamente por la íntima relación entre el hombro y el tórax, y la identificación imagenológica de las distintas lesiones puede ser desafiante. Las radiografías son el método más apropiado y piedra angular del estudio inicial en el trauma de hombro, el set de trauma tiene al menos 3 planos: la vista Anteroposterior (AP) verdadera, una proyección axial o axilar o su modificación descrita por Velpeau. Y una proyección Y de escápula. Sin embargo, el posicionamiento del paciente muchas veces no es fácil por el dolor adicional que puede generar la movilización de la extremidad para lograr la posición adecuada para la proyección radiográfica. Describimos una técnica para realizar una proyección axial de hombro sin estas dificultades, fácilmente estandarizable para cualquier patología traumática o degenerativa del húmero proximal o de la articulación gleno-humeral y que creemos no ha sido publicada previamente.

Incidence and Risk Factors of the Complications Related to the Latarjet Surgery / Incidência e fatores de risco das complicações da cirurgia de Latarjet

Abstract Objective The Latarjet procedure is a well-accepted treatment of shoulder instability. This technique is associated with a unique set of complications with overall rates of up to 30%. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors associated with complications after open Latarjet procedure. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 102 patients submitted to open Latarjet procedure. Complications were divided into three types: clinical; graft-related; and screw-related. All of the patients were submitted to radiography and computed tomography (CT). The risk factors analyzed were gender, age, previous surgery, epilepsy, experience of the surgeon. Results A total of 102 consecutive patients (108 cases) underwent the Latarjet procedure. The mean age was 33.7 years old (18 to 61 years old), with 88 males and 14 females. The overall complication rate was 21.2%, being 12% clinical-related, 7.4% graft-related, and 2.7% screw-related. The most frequent were anterior apprehension (eight cases) and lateral overhang of the graft in six patients. Computed tomography scan at a minimum of 6 months was performed in 79 cases (73%), and graft union occurred in 75 patients (94.9%). There were no cases of instability in the remaining four cases of nonunion. Ten patients (9.2%) required revision surgery. The risk factors associated with complications were epilepsy (p = 0.0325), experience of the surgeon (p = 0.0499) and patients ≥ 40 years old at the time of the surgery (p = 0.0151). There was no correlation with gender and previous surgery. Conclusion The complication rate following the Latarjet procedure was 21.2%, with 9% requiring revision surgery. Epilepsy, age ≥ 40 years old and experience of the surgeon were risk factors.

Resumo Objetivo A cirurgia de Latarjet é bem estabelecida para o tratamento da instabilidade anterior do ombro. Apresenta complicações específicas com taxas de até 30%. Nosso objetivo é avaliar a incidência e os fatores de risco associados às complicações após a cirurgia de Latarjet. Métodos Analisamos retrospectivamente 102 pacientes submetidos ao procedimento. Dividimos as complicações em três tipos: clínicas, relacionadas ao enxerto e relacionadas aos implantes. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a radiografias e tomografia computadorizada (TC). Os fatores de risco analisados foram gênero, idade, cirurgia prévia, epilepsia e experiência do cirurgião. Resultados Um total de 102 pacientes consecutivos (108 casos) foram avaliados. A média de idade foi 33,7 anos (18 a 61 anos), com 88 homens e 14 mulheres. A taxa de complicações foi de 21,2%, sendo 12% clínicas, 7,4% relacionadas ao enxerto e 2,7% relacionadas ao implante. As mais frequentes foram apreensão anterior (oito casos) e posicionamento lateral do enxerto, em seis casos. A TC foi realizada com o mínimo de 6 meses em 79 casos (73%), evidenciando a consolidação do enxerto em 75 pacientes (94.9%). Nenhum caso de não união apresentou instabilidade. Dez pacientes (9.2%) precisaram de cirurgia de revisão. Os fatores de risco relacionados às complicações foram epilepsia (p = 0.0325), experiência do cirurgião (p = 0.0499) e pacientes ≥ 40 anos (p = 0.0151). Não houve correlação com gênero e cirurgia prévia. Conclusão A taxa de complicações após a cirurgia de Latarjet foi de 21,2%, com 9% necessitando de revisão cirúrgica. Epilepsia, idade ≥ 40 anos e experiência do cirurgião foram fatores de risco.

Arthroscopic Bristow: Assessments of Safety and Effectiveness, 12 Years of Experience / Bristow artroscópico: Avaliação da segurança e da eficácia, 12 anos de experiência

Abstract Objective The open Bristow procedure is a long established and effective method for treating anterior shoulder instability. Following the trends of minimally-invasive surgeries, these procedures were performed arthroscopically, and their outcomes were evaluated. Methods A total of 43 shoulders of patients submitted to Bristow procedures by arthroscopy, using a graft positioned horizontally and a screw, with at least two years of postoperative follow-up, were evaluated regarding quality of life, de novo dislocation index, and loss of lateral rotation. Results The mean follow-up time was of 76 months (range: 129 to 24 months). The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score varied from 25.56 ± 0.50 (standard deviation [SD] = 3.25) to 33.23 ± 0.44 (SD = 2.91) (p < 0.0001). Two or more years after surgery, the mean Rowe score was of 94.25 ± 1.52 (SD = 1.34), whereas the good results standard is 75 (p < 0.0001). The mean value for the simple shoulder test was of 11.35 ± 0.21 (SD = 1.34), while the mean value of the lateral rotation loss was of 10.37º ± 1.36º (SD = 8.58º). There were no de novo dislocations. In total, there were 12 complications, 8 of which had no clinical repercussions. The clinically-significant complications included an infection six months after surgery with a potential hematogenous origin, a coracoid fracture that required an intraoperatively procedure change, and two patients with previous impingement who required synthesis material removal more than six months after surgery. Conclusion Although the arthroscopic Bristow procedure was effective in treating anterior shoulder instability, it is not a complication-free surgery.

Resumo Objetivo O procedimento de Bristow aberto é um método há muito estabelecido e eficaz no tratamento da instabilidade anterior do ombro. Seguindo as tendências das cirurgias minimamente invasivas, essa cirurgia foi realizada por artroscopia, e seus resultados foram avaliados. Métodos Foram avaliados 43 ombros de pacientes submetidos ao procedimento de Bristow por artroscopia, com o enxerto em posição horizontal e uso de um parafuso, com pelo menos dois anos de seguimento pós-cirúrgico, por meio de escores qualidade de vida, índice de reluxação e perda de rotação lateral. Resultados A média de seguimento foi de 76 meses (variando de 129 a 24 meses), e o escore da University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) variou de 25,56 ± 0,50 (desvio padrão [DP] = 3,25) para 33,23 ± 0,44 (DP = 2,91) (p < 0,0001). A média para o escore de Rowe com 2 anos ou mais de cirurgia foi de 94,25 ± 1,52(DP = 1,34), sendo que o padrão de bons resultados é de 75 pontos (p < 0,0001). A média do teste simples de ombro foi de 11,35 ± 0,21 (DP = 1,34), e, para perda de rotação lateral, foi de 10,37º ± 1,36º (DP = 8,58º). Não houve reluxações. Entre os 43 pacientes operados, ocorreram um total de 12 complicações, das quais 8 não apresentaram qualquer repercussão clínica. As complicações com repercussão clínica foram uma infecção de possível origem hematogênica seis meses após a cirurgia, uma fratura do coracoide que fez com que o paciente precisasse mudar o procedimento no intraoperatório, e dois pacientes com impacto anterior, que necessitaram de retirada de material de síntese mais de seis meses após a cirurgia. Conclusão O procedimento de Bristow artroscópico mostrou eficácia no tratamento da instabilidade anterior do ombro, embora não seja livre de complicações.

Bilateral fracture of the shoulders following epileptic seizures: a case report / Fratura bilateral de ombros após convulsões epilépticas: relato de caso

Convulsive seizures caused by hyponatremia occur when this condition is severe and develops quickly, resulting in a brain's adaptive inability to contain brain swelling. Seizures are rarely the cause of shoulder fractures. This is a case report of bilateral humerus fracture following a single epileptic seizure caused by drug hyponatremia, an unconventional event in medical practice. A 69-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency room after a single tonic-clonic seizure with spontaneously ceased sphincter relaxation, showing Glasgow 6. No falls or restraint were reported by observers. When alert, the patient reported pain and difficulty moving both arms. During examination, the movement was li- mited to the right and left. Anteroposterior radiographs revealed bilateral fracture at the neck of humerus. To complement inves- tigation for further lesions, a computed tomography confirmed bilateral fracture-dislocation with impaction of the humeral head with the glenoid. Atraumatic bilateral fracture-dislocation of the humerus after epileptic seizure is a very rare event. It is believed that some of these diagnoses have been neglected due to the difficulty of characterizing the patient's pain in a postictal state. The importance of a detailed physical examination shall be emphasized in risk groups such as the polymedicated elderly.

Resultados de la reparación de Bankart/plicatura y remplissage en el tratamiento de la luxación anteroinferior recurrente del hombro. Correlación con la escala de ISIS / Bankart repair and remplissage in recurrent anteroinferior shoulder dislocation, Correlation with ISIS scale

Introducción: La luxación recurrente anteroinferior del hombro es consecuencia de una luxación aguda traumática que, en pacientes jóvenes, menores de veinte años, se ha estimado puede llegar al 97% de recurrencia, pero que disminuye a medida que aumenta la edad, excepto en pacientes mayores con rupturas asociadas del manguito rotador. Al ser una patología incapacitante que afecta la calidad de vida de las personas, hay una mayor tendencia a tratarla por métodos quirúrgicos que con rehabilitación. La lesión fundamental es el desprendimiento del labrum anterior de la glenoides conocida como la lesión de Bankart-Perthes, estructura que tiene limitaciones para cicatrizar de manera anatómica con tratamientos incruentos, perpetuando la inestabilidad. A medida que recurre la luxación se presentan lesiones óseas asociadas tanto en la glenoides denominada Bankart ósea, así como en la cabeza humeral en su región posterosuperior o lesión de Hill-Sachs, que aumentan la posibilidad de recurrencia. Se han descripto diferentes técnicas abiertas y artroscópicas para corregir la luxación, pero por la heterogeneidad de la lesión no hay un tratamiento para corregirla que sea patrón de oro. Nuestro objetivo es describir los resultados clínicos en pacientes con luxación recurrente anteroinferior de hombro que fueron sometidos a cirugía artroscópica de reparación de Bankart/plicatura y remplissage y correlacionar los resultados con la escala preoperatoria de ISIS. Materiales y métodos: se revisaron las historias clínicas de pacientes con diagnóstico de luxación de la articulación del hombro (S430) (M253), que fueron llevados a cirugía entre junio de 2015 y enero de 2019, analizando características de la(s) lesión(es), clasificación preoperatoria de acuerdo con la escala de ISIS, tipo de procedimiento(s) quirúrgico realizado y número de implantes. Resultados: de veinticinco pacientes operados por el autor senior (MMA) de luxación recurrente de hombro, veintitrés completaron el seguimiento con los procedimientos de reparación de Bankart/plicatura y la adición de un remplissage en casos de lesiones Hill-Sachs enganchantes. Todos tenían una escala de ISIS preoperatoria igual o inferior a 6. Al final del seguimiento ningún paciente reportó recurrencia de su luxación. Conclusión: en nuestra casuística, la reparación de Bankart/plicatura en pacientes con lesiones Hill-Sachs no enganchantes en asocio del remplissage produce excelentes resultados a corto y mediano plazo cuando la escala de ISIS es igual o inferior a 6. Nivel de evidencia: IV

Introduction: Recurrent anteroinferior shoulder dislocation is the consequence of an acute traumatic dislocation which, in young patients, under twenty years old, has been estimated to reach 97% of recurrence, but which decreases with increasing age, except in older patients with associated rotator cuff tears. Being a disabling pathology that affects people's quality of life, there is a greater tendency to treat it by surgical methods than with rehabilitation. The fundamental lesion is the detachment of the anterior labrum of the glenoid known as the Bankart-Perthes lesion, a structure that has limitations to heal anatomically with bloodless treatments, perpetuating instability. As the dislocation recurs, there are associated bone lesions both in the glenoid called Bony Bankart, as well as in the humeral head in its posterior superior region or Hill-Sachs lesion, which increase the possibility of recurrence. Different open and arthroscopic techniques have been described to correct dislocation, but due to the heterogeneity of the lesion, there is no gold standard treatment to correct it. Our objective is to describe the clinical results in patients with recurrent anteroinferior shoulder dislocation who underwent arthroscopic Bankart/plication repair and fill surgery and correlate the results with the preoperative ISIS scale. Materials and methods: the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of shoulder joint dislocation (S430) (M253), who were taken to surgery between June 2015 and January 2019, were reviewed, analyzing characteristics of the injury(s), classification preoperative according to the ISIS scale, type of surgical procedure(s) performed and number of implants. Results: of twenty-five patients operated by the senior author (MMA) for recurrent shoulder dislocation, twenty-three completed follow-up with Bankart/plication repair procedures and the addition of a fill in Hill-Sachs engaging lesions. All had a preoperative ISIS scale equal to or less than 6. At the end of follow-up, no patient reported recurrence of their dislocation.Conclusion: in our casuistry, Bankart/plication repair in patients with non-engaging Hill-Sachs lesions in association with filling produces excellent results in the short and medium term when the ISIS scale is equal to or less than 6.

A.R.A.R.A.I. Guía práctica para el manejo de la luxación glenohumeral en emergencia / A.R.A.R.A.I Practice guide for management of glenohumeral dislocation in emergency

El complejo articular del hombro está formado por cinco articulaciones. Tres de estas son verdaderas: glenohumeral (GH), acromioclavicular (AC) y esternoclavicular (EC); y dos, falsas: escapulotorácica (ET) y subacromial (Sa). Es la articulación con mayor rango de movimiento (ROM, por Range of Motion) del cuerpo y la más propensa a inestabilidades, ocupa el 45% de todas las luxaciones, y 95% de estas corresponden a luxación anteroinferior. Presentamos el acrónimo A.R.A.R.A.I., que nos detalla las iniciales del esquema ordenado a seguir en un traumatismo de hombro que exhiba luxación GH.A (Axilar valoración neurovascular): comprende la valoración neurológica y vascular, la más importante de todas, inclusive antes de la radiografía y la reducción. R (Radiografía): no se puede proceder a la reducción de una luxación glenohumeral sin antes tener una radiografía que descarte fractura, si se procediera a una reducción sin una radiografía y se presenta una fractura en el control posreducción, la maniobra de reducción sería la causa de la fractura por lo que, para evitar problemas legales, siempre se debe solicitar una radiografía antes de esta maniobra. A (Anestesia): todo paciente debe ser sometido a una reducción bajo anestesia, sobre todo si es atendido en un hospital donde se cuenta con servicio de anestesiología. R (Reducción): se utilizan diferentes métodos o técnicas, recomendamos que el médico realice la maniobra con la que tenga mayor afinidad. A (Axilar Rx Posreducción): una de las mayores complicaciones en una LGH es la fractura del borde anterior de la glena no diagnosticada, por lo que la radiografía axilar posreducción, sobre todo en primoluxaciones, nos permite diagnosticar una lesión de Bankart ósea (Bony Bankart) y tratarla desde el primer episodio para evitar la reabsorción del fragmento fracturado.I (Inmovilización en neutro):es importante el tiempo de inmovilización. Recomendamos veintiún días y posición neutra para disminuir el porcentaje de recidiva.La importancia de esta guía es la adecuada valoración clínica, neurovascular, radiológica y oportuno diagnóstico de patologías concomitantes

The shoulder joint complex is made up of five joints. Three of them are true: glenohumeral (GH), acromioclavicular (AC) and sternoclavicular (SC) and two are false: scapulothoracic (ST) and subacromial (SA). It is the joint with the highest Range of Motion (ROM) in the body and the most prone to instability, occupying 45% of all dislocations, 95% of which correspond to the anteroinferior dislocation. We present the acronym A.R.A.R.A.I., which details the initials of the scheme ordered to follow in a shoulder trauma with GH dislocation.A (Axillary nerve anesthesia): includes the neurological and vascular evaluation, the most important of all, even before radiography and reduction.R (Radiography): it is not possible to proceed to the reduction of a glenohumeral dislocation without first having an X-ray that rules out a fracture, if a reduction is carried out without an X-ray and a fracture occurs in the post-reduction control, the maneuver of reduction is the cause of the fracture so, to avoid legal problems, always request an X-ray before a reduction.A (Anesthesia): every patient must undergo a reduction under anesthesia, especially if the patient is cared for in a hospital where there is an anesthesiology service

Retorno al deporte luego de una cirugía de Latarjet: revisión sistemática de la bibliografía / Return to sports after Latarjet surgery: Systematic literature review

Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las tasas de retorno al deporte y el nivel alcanzado por los pacientes con inestabilidad de hombro luego del procedimiento abierto y artroscópico de Latarjet. materiales y métodos:Seguimos un protocolo prespecificado y registrado en PROSPERO. Evaluamos la calidad de los estudios y utilizamos el sistema GRADE para evaluar la calidad general de la evidencia obtenida en los resultados. Incluimos estudios que evalúan el retorno al deporte de los pacientes luego de una cirugía de Latarjet con un seguimiento mínimo de 2 años. Resultados: Se incluyeron 24 estudios, con 1436 atletas, todos con cirugía y un seguimiento promedio de 57 meses (rango 24-240). La tasa general de retorno al deporte varió del 65% al 100% de los pacientes, de ellos, el 23-100% retornó al mismo nivel. El tiempo promedio de retorno al deporte fue de 6 meses (rango 1-36). El nivel de evidencia fue bajo debido a las características de los estudios incluidos (nivel de evidencia IV), las limitaciones de los estudios y sus inconsistencias. Conclusiones: La mayoría de los atletas con luxación recidivante de hombro sometidos a una cirugía de Latarjet retoman la práctica deportiva; sin embargo, el nivel alcanzado varía sustancialmente. El tiempo promedio de retorno al deporte fue de 6 meses, y no hubo diferencias significativas entre los deportistas competitivos y recreacionales. Nivel de Evidencia: IV

background: The purpose of this study was to describe rates of return to sports and the level achieved by patients after a Latarjet procedure.methods: We followed a protocol registered in PROSPERO (registration number CRD42018107606). A literature search was performed in May 2019 in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL and clinical trials records. We used the GRADE approach for the assessment of the overall quality of the evidence per outcome. We included studies (evidence level I to IV) evaluating return to sports following shoulder stabilization with the Latarjet procedure with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Results: We included 24 studies, including 1436 athletes, all treated surgically after an average follow-up of 57 months (range 24 to 240). The overall rate of return to sport ranged from 65% to 100%, including 23% to 100% at an equivalent level of play. The average time for return to sport was 6 months (range, 1 - 36 months). Competitive athletes appeared to return to the same level of competition and this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.32). The quality of the evidence was very low due to study design (evidence level IV), study limitations and inconsistency. Conclusion: Most athletes with glenohumeral instability returned to sport, however the level maintained after shoulder stabilization with the Latarjet procedure varied substantially. The average time to return to sports was 6 months and results were equally favorable in competitive and recreational athletes
