RESUMO
PURPOSE: To analyze radiographic outcomes by conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT), or both and complication rates of open coracoid transfer at a minimum of 12-months follow-up. METHODS: A literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, using PubMed, Medline (Ovid), and EMBASE library databases. Inclusion criteria were clinical studies reporting on open Latarjet as the primary surgical procedure(revision coracoid transfer after failed prior stabilization excluded) with postoperative radiographic outcomes at a minimum mean 1-year follow-up. Patient demographics, type of postoperative imaging modality, and radiographic outcomes and complications including graft union, osteoarthritis, and osteolysis were systematically reviewed. Data were summarized as ranges of reported values for each outcome metric. Each radiographic outcome was graphically represented in a Forest plot with point estimates of the incidence of radiographic outcomes with corresponding 95% confidence intervals and I2. RESULTS: Thirty-three studies met inclusion criteria, with a total of 1,456 shoulders. The most common postoperative imaging modality was plain radiography only (n = 848 [58.2%]), both CT and radiography (n = 287 [19.7%]), and CT only (n = 321 [22.1%]). Overall, the reported graft union rate ranged from 75% to 100%, of which 79.8% (n = 395) were detected on plain radiography. The most common reported postoperative radiographic complications after the open coracoid transfer were osteoarthritis (range, 0%-100%, pooled mean 28%), graft osteolysis (range, 0%-100%, pooled mean 30%), nonunion (range, 0%-32%, pooled mean 5.1%), malpositioned graft (range, 0%-75%, pooled mean 14.75%), hardware issues (range, 0%-9.1%, pooled mean 5%), and bone block fracture (range, 0%-8%, pooled mean 2.1%). Graft healing was achieved in a majority of cases (range, 75%-100%). CONCLUSION: Postoperative radiographic outcomes after open coracoid transfer vary greatly in definition, classification, and imaging modality of choice. Greater consistency in postoperative radiographic outcomes is essential to evaluate graft healing, osteolysis, and nonunion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review of Level III-IV studies.

PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes of arthroscopically-assisted, anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using tendon allograft (AA-ACCR) for the treatment of Rockwood type III-V injuries at minimum 2-year follow-up and to perform subgroup analyses of clinical and radiographic outcomes for acute versus chronic and type III versus type IV-V injuries. METHODS: In this retrospective study of prospectively collected data, patients who underwent primary AA-ACCR for the treatment of type III-V dislocations and had minimum 2-year follow-up were included. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome scores (PROs) were collected, including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Single Numeric Assessment Evaluation score, Short Form-12 Physical Component Summary, Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand score, and patient satisfaction. Preoperative and postoperative coracoclavicular distance (CCD) was obtained. PROs and CCD were reported for the total cohort and for the subgroups. Complication and revision rates were demonstrated. RESULTS: In total, 102 patients (10 women, 92 men) with a mean age of 45.0 years (range, 18-73 years) were included. There were 13 complications (12.7%) resulting in revision surgery. After exclusion of revised patients, PROs were available for 69 (77.5%). At mean follow-up of 4.7 years (range, 2.0-12.8 years), all PROs improved significantly (P < .001). Median patient satisfaction was 9.0 (interquartile range, 8.0-10.0). Median preoperative to postoperative CCD decreased significantly (P < .001). Subgroup analyses revealed significant improvements in all PROs and CCD from preoperative to postoperative for both acute and chronic, and type III and type IV-V dislocations (P < .05) with no significant differences in postoperative PROs and satisfaction between (P > .05). CONCLUSION: AA-ACCR for high-grade acromioclavicular joint injuries resulted in high postoperative PROs and patient satisfaction with significant improvements from before to after surgery in those who did not undergo revision surgery. Furthermore, subgroup analyses revealed that acute and chronic, and type III and type IV-V injuries benefitted similarly from AA-ACCR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV; therapeutic case series.

PURPOSE: To compare the biomechanical properties of metallic anchor (MA) and all-suture anchor (ASA) constructs in the anatomic reattachment of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament complex to its humeral insertion. METHODS: Twenty paired male human cadaveric elbows with a mean age of 46.3 years (range: 33-58 years) were used in this study. Each pair was randomly allocated across 2 groups of either MA or ASA. A single 3.5-mm MA or 2.6-mm ASA was then inserted flush into the lateral epicondyle. A dynamic tensile testing machine was used to perform cyclic loading followed by a load to failure test. During the cyclic loading phase, the anchors were sinusoidally tensioned from 10 N to 100 N for 1,000 cycles at a frequency of 0.5 Hz. In the load to failure test, the anchors were pulled at a rate of 3 mm/s. Load at 1-mm and 2-mm displacement, as well as load to ultimate failure were assessed. Clinical failure was defined as displacement of more than 2 mm. Normality of data was assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Continuous data are presented as medians and compared with the Mann-Whitney U test and categorical data was compared with the χ2 test or Fisher exact test. RESULTS: Displacement was significantly greater for the ASA group during cyclic loading starting from the tenth cycle (P < .05). Displacement of more than 5 mm within the first 100 cycles was observed in 2 anchors in the ASA group. No difference was observed in loads required to displace 1 mm (MA: 146 N [6-169] vs ASA: 144 N [2-153]; P = .53) and 2 mm (MA: 171 N [13-202] vs ASA: 161 N [9-191]; P = .97), but there was a statistically significant difference between ultimate loads in favor of ASA in the load to failure test (MA: 297 N [84-343] vs 463 N [176-620]; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: In the cyclic test, no difference in clinical failure defined as pull-out of more than 2 mm was observed between 3.5 mm MAs and 2.6 mm ASAs. In the ultimate load to failure analysis, no difference was observed between groups in force causing 1 and 2 mm of displacement, but there was a significant difference in favor of ASA in the pull to ultimate failure test. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Potential benefits of all-suture anchors include preservation of bone stock, reduced radiographic artifacts, and easier revisions. Although their use has been investigated thoroughly in the shoulder, there remains a paucity of literature regarding displacement and pull-out strength in the elbow.

BACKGROUND: It is widely accepted that transolecranon fracture-dislocations are not associated with collateral ligament disruption. The aim of the present study was to investigate the significance of the collateral ligaments in transolecranon fractures. METHODS: Twenty cadaveric elbows with a mean age of 46.3 years were used. All soft tissue was dissected to the level of the capsule, leaving the anterior band of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) intact. A standardized, oblique osteotomy starting from the distal margin of the cartilage bare area of the ulna was made. The elbows were loaded with an inferiorly directed force of 5 and 10 N in the intact, MCL cut, LCL cut, and both ligaments cut states. All measurements were recorded on lateral calibrated radiographs. RESULTS: The mean inferior translation with intact ligaments (n = 20) when the humerus was loaded with 5 and 10 N was 1.52 mm (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-2.02) and 2.23 mm (95% CI, 1.61-2.85), respectively. When the LCL was cut first (n = 10), the inferior translation with 5 and 10 N load was 4.11 mm (95% CI, 0.95-7.26) and 4.82 mm (95% CI, 1.91-7.72), respectively. When the MCL was cut first (n = 10), the inferior translation when loaded with 5 and 10 N was 3.94 mm (95% CI, 0.796-7.08) and 5.68 mm (95% CI, 3.03-8.33), respectively. The inferior translation when loaded with 5 and 10 N and both ligaments cut was 15.65 mm (95% CI, 12.59-18.79) and 17.50 mm (95% CI, 14.86-20.13), respectively. There was a statistical difference between the intact and MCL cut first at 10 N and when both ligaments were cut at 5 and 10 N. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that collateral ligament disruption is a prerequisite for a transolecranon fracture-dislocation. An inferior translation of more than 3 mm suggests that at least one of the collateral ligaments is disrupted, and more than 7.5 mm indicates that both collateral ligaments are disrupted.

BACKGROUND: A medialized center of rotation (COR) in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) comes with limitations such as scapular notching and reduced range of motion. To mitigate these effects, lateralization and inferiorization of the COR are performed, but may adversely affect deltoid muscle force. The study purposes were to measure the effect of RTSA with varying glenosphere configurations on (1) the COR and (2) deltoid force compared with intact shoulders and shoulders with massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears (PS-RCT). We hypothesized that the highest deltoid forces would occur in shoulders with PS-RCT, and that RTSA would lead to a decrease in required forces that is further minimized with lateralization and inferiorization of the COR but still higher compared with native shoulders with an intact rotator cuff. METHODS: In this study, 8 cadaveric shoulders were dissected leaving only the rotator cuff muscles and capsule intact. A custom apparatus incorporating motion capture and a dynamic tensile testing machine to measure the changes in COR and deltoid forces while simultaneously recording glenohumeral abduction was designed. Five consecutive testing states were tested: (1) intact shoulder, (2) PS-RCT, (3) RTSA with standard glenosphere, (4) RTSA with 4 mm lateralized glenosphere, and (5) RTSA with 2.5 mm inferiorized glenosphere. Statistical Parametric Mapping was used to analyze the deltoid force as a function of the abduction angle. One-way repeated-measures within-specimens analysis of variance was conducted, followed by post hoc t-tests for pairwise comparisons between the states. RESULTS: All RTSA configurations shifted the COR medially and inferiorly with respect to native (standard: 4.2 ± 2.1 mm, 19.7 ± 3.6 mm; 4 mm lateralized: 3.9 ± 1.2 mm, 16.0 ± 1.8; 2.5 mm inferiorized: 6.9 ± 0.9 mm, 18.9 ± 1.7 mm). Analysis of variance showed a significant effect of specimen state on deltoid force across all abduction angles. Of the 10 paired t-test comparisons made between states, only 3 showed significant differences: (1) intact shoulders necessitated significantly lower deltoid force than specimens with PS-RCT below 42° abduction, (2) RTSAs with standard glenospheres required significantly lower deltoid force than RTSA with 4 mm lateralized glenospheres above 34° abduction, and (3) RTSAs with 2.5 mm inferiorized glenospheres had significantly lower deltoid force than RTSA with 4 mm of glenosphere lateralization at higher abduction angles. CONCLUSIONS: RTSA with a 2.5 mm inferiorized glenosphere and no additional lateralization resulted in less deltoid force to abduct the arm compared with 4 mm lateralized glenospheres. Therefore, when aiming to mitigate downsides of a medialized COR, an inferiorized glenosphere may be preferable in terms of its effect on deltoid force.

Historically, a primary anterior instability event has been treated nonoperatively. In the literature, a multitude of outcome scores and definitions for recurrence of instability complicates the interpretation and synthesis of evidence-based recommendations. However, there is an emerging body of high-quality evidence that early surgical stabilization yields better overall outcomes. A wait-and-see approach would be acceptable if it was without detrimental effects, but there is a cost to recurrence of instability events, such as more extensive soft-tissue, cartilage, and bony lesions. Young age, male sex, and contact sport participation have been identified as risk factors for recurrence of anterior shoulder instability, and today, these patients are routinely recommended surgical treatment. It is also paramount to identify concomitant injury following the primary anterior instability event. The sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of radiographs is suboptimal, and the threshold to obtain advanced imaging such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging with 3-dimensional reconstructions should be low. Taking into account the low non-recurrence complication rate following arthroscopic stabilization, early surgical intervention should be considered following the first instability event.

PURPOSE: To compare the biomechanical performance of knotless versus knotted all-suture anchors for the repair of type II SLAP lesions with a simulated peel-back mechanism. METHODS: Twenty paired cadaveric shoulders were used. A standardized type II SLAP repair was performed using knotless (group A) or knotted (group B) all-suture anchors. The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon was loaded in a posterior direction to simulate the peel-back mechanism. Cyclic loading was performed followed by load-to-failure testing. Stiffness, load at 1 and 2 mm of displacement, load to repair failure, load to ultimate failure, and failure modes were assessed. RESULTS: The mean load to repair failure was similar in groups A (179.99 ± 58.42 N) and B (167.83 ± 44.27 N, P = .530). The mean load to ultimate failure was 230 ± 95.93 N in group A and 229.48 ± 78.45 N in group B and did not differ significantly (P = .958). Stiffness (P = .980), as well as load at 1 mm (P = .721) and 2 mm (P = .849) of displacement, did not differ significantly between groups. In 16 of the 20 specimens (7 in group A and 9 in group B), ultimate failure occurred at the proximal LHB tendon. Failed occurred through slippage of the labrum in 1 specimen in each group and through anchor pullout in 2 specimens in group A. CONCLUSIONS: Knotless and knotted all-suture anchors displayed high initial fixation strength with no significant differences between groups in type II SLAP lesions. Ultimate failure occurred predominantly as tears of the proximal LHB tendon. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: All-suture anchors have a smaller diameter than solid anchors, can be inserted through curved guides, preserve bone stock, and facilitate postoperative imaging. There is a paucity of literature investigating the biomechanical capacities of knotless versus knotted all-suture anchors in type II SLAP repair.

PURPOSE: To assess failure rates and patient reported outcomes following revision of failed proximal long head of the biceps (LHB) tenodesis. METHODS: Patients from an active-military population who underwent revision proximal (suprapectoral) to distal (subpectoral) LHB tenodesis were prospectively enrolled. Patients were included if they were between the ages of 16 and 60 years presenting after a previous biceps tenodesis with mechanical failure and clinical failure, defined as Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) or American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) <70. Exclusion criteria were concomitant rotator cuff repair or debridement, full-thickness rotator cuff tear, extensive labral tears, or any evidence of glenohumeral arthritis. Pre- and postoperative SANE and ASES were documented and analyzed. RESULTS: From 2004 to 2010, a total of 12 patients (all male) with a mean age of 39.9 years (range, 30-54 years) were assessed at a mean follow-up time of 29 months (range, 24-38 months). Nine patients presented with a failed tenodesis construct located at the top of the bicipital groove and 9 patients had LHB tendons originally affixed with an interference screw. Diagnostic arthroscopy revealed that the majority of patients (10/12) had excessive scarring at the site of previous fixation. Mean preoperative assessments of SANE (70.4) and ASES (59.9) improved postoperatively to SANE (90.3; P < .01) and ASES (89.8; P < .01). No patients were lost due to follow-up, and there were no reported complications or failures. All patients returned to full active duty and were able to perform all required physical tests before returning to their vocation. CONCLUSIONS: Patients presenting with symptoms following a proximal LHB tenodesis can be successfully converted to a distal (subpectoral) LHB tenodesis with favorable outcomes. Although in a small sample, there was excessive scarring and synovitis in a majority, which improved significantly when treated with a revision subpectoral tenodesis with minimal complication risk and no reported failures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV (Therapeutic case series).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate functional and radiographic results after open reduction and internal fixation of distal humeral fractures using precontoured locking plates. Our main hypothesis was that patients older than 65 years have inferior outcomes compared with younger patients. Methods: All patients treated for a distal humeral fracture with precontoured locking plates between 2006 and 2017 at a level 1 trauma center were identified. Included patients underwent a clinical examination, and new radiographs were obtained. Functional outcomes were evaluated using Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, Mayo Elbow Performance Score, visual analog scale elbow satisfaction, and range of motion. Complications and reoperations were recorded. Results: Fifty-seven patients with a median age of 60 years were included in this study. Median Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand was 14, and median Mayo Elbow Performance Score was 85. There was no difference in functional scores in patients younger than 65 years or 65 years or older. However, the median flexion-extension arc was 121 degrees in patients younger than 65 years and 111 degrees in patients 65 years or older (P = 0.01). The overall complication rate was 68%, and 24 patients had at least 1 reoperation. Ulnar neuropathy was the most common complication followed by reduced range of motion. Conclusions: Operative management of distal humeral fractures with precontoured locking plates provides good functional outcome. The patient-reported outcomes were good, independent of patient age. The implant failure rate is low with precontoured locking plates; however, the complication rate remains high, and reoperations are common. Level of Evidence: Level 4, retrospective study.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The outcome of non-surgical treatment is generally good, but the treatment course can be long and painful with approximately a quarter of the patients acquiring a nonunion. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment can have disabling consequences such as nerve injury, infection, and nonunion. The purpose of the study is to compare patient-reported outcomes after surgical and non-surgical treatment for humeral shaft fractures. METHODS: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) is planned with two study groups (SHAFT-Young and SHAFT-Elderly). A total of 287 eligible acute humeral shaft fractures are scheduled to be recruited and randomly allocated to surgical or non-surgical treatment with the option of early crossover due to delayed union. The surgical method within the allocation is decided by the surgeon. The primary outcome is the Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score at 52 weeks, and is assessor blinded. The secondary outcomes are DASH score, EQ-5D-5L, pain assessed by visual analog score, Constant-Murley score including elbow range of motion, and anchor questions collected at all timepoints throughout the trial. All complications will be reported including; infection, nerve or vascular injury, surgical revisions (implant malpositioning, hardware failure, aseptic loosening, and peri-implant fracture), major adverse cardiovascular events, and mortality. DISCUSSION: The SHAFT trial is a pragmatic multicenter RCT, that will compare the effectiveness of the main strategies in humeral shaft fracture treatment. This will include a variety of fracture morphologies, while taking the dilemmas within the population into account by splitting the population by age and providing the orthopedic society with an interval for early crossover surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04574336 . Registered on 5 October 2020.

Background: Anterior and posterior glenoid bone loss morphology have both been individually and morphologically described in previous studies. While there exists substantial literature on anterior bone loss, and emerging evidence describing posterior bone loss, a direct comparison between the two is lacking in the current literature. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively compare the anatomic and morphological differences in glenoid bone loss (GBL) in operative patients with anterior versus posterior glenohumeral instability. Methods: All patients over a 3-year period indicated for operative stabilization with posterior glenohumeral instability and suspected glenoid bone loss who underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan were reviewed. Included patients were then singularly matched by gender, laterality, and age (±3 years) to a collection of patients who presented for operative stabilization of anterior glenohumeral instability. GBL parameters were assessed based on the following characterizing measurements: (1) percentage of GBL, (2) glenoid vault version, (3) slope of the glenoid defect relative to the glenoid surface, (4) superior-inferior defect height, and (5) anterior-posterior defect width. Results: Sixty patients (30 anterior GBL, 30 posterior GBL) were included in the final analysis (60 males), with a mean age of 28.8 ± 8.15 years (range 16.0 to 51.0 years). Patients with anterior instability presented with higher GBL (24.94% ± 7.69 vs. 9.22% ± 5.58, P < .001), greater superior-inferior defect height (23.89 ± 4.21 mm vs. 21.88 ± 3.42 mm, P = .047), and steeper slope of glenoid defect (58.80° ± 11.86 vs. 38.59° ± 14.30, P < .001), while patients with posterior instability had greater retroversion (1.53° ± 4.04 vs. 7.59° ± 7.71, P < .001). Additionally, the anterior instability cohort had significantly more patients with moderate- to high-grade glenoid bone loss (n = 30) than patients with posterior instability (n = 11) (P < .001). Conclusion: Anterior instability presents with a steeper slope of glenoid defect, higher percentage GBL, and greater superior-inferior defect height, whereas posterior instability presents with greater retroversion. This underscores the finding that anterior and posterior instability bone loss are not the same morphologically, and this should be considered in the operative treatment of glenohumeral instability.
RESUMO
Anterior shoulder instability is the most common form of shoulder instability and is usually because of a traumatic injury. Careful patient selection is key to a favorable outcome. Primary shoulder stabilization should be considered for patients with high risk of recurrence or for elite athletes. Soft-tissue injury to the labrum, capsule, glenohumeral ligament, and rotator cuff influence the outcome. Glenoid bone loss (GBL) and type of bone loss (on-track/off-track) are important factors when recommending treatment strategy. Identification and management of concomitant injuries are paramount. The physician should consider three-dimensional CT reconstructions and magnetic resonance arthrography when concomitant injury is suspected. Good results can be expected after Bankart repair in on-track Hill-Sachs lesions (HSLs) with GBL < 13.5%. Bankart repair without adjunct procedures is not recommended in off-track HSLs, regardless of the size of GBL. If GBL is 13.5% to 25% but on-track, adjunct procedures to Bankart repair should be considered (remplissage and inferior capsular shift). Bone block transfer is recommended when GBL > 20% to 25% or when the HSL is off-track. Fresh tibia allograft or lilac crest autograft are good treatment options after failed bone block procedure.

BACKGROUND: When comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) for glenohumeral osteoarthritis fails, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) may be needed, and it remains unknown whether previous CAM adversely affects outcomes after subsequent TSA. PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes of patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis who underwent TSA as a primary procedure with those who underwent TSA after CAM (CAM-TSA). STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Patients younger than 70 years who underwent primary TSA or CAM-TSA and were at least 2 years postoperative were included. A total of 21 patients who underwent CAM-TSA were matched to 42 patients who underwent primary TSA by age, sex, and grade of osteoarthritis. Intraoperative blood loss and surgical time were assessed. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores were collected preoperatively and at final follow-up including the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), shortened version of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), 12-Item Short Form Health Survey Physical Component Summary (SF-12 PCS), visual analog scale, and patient satisfaction. Revision arthroplasty was defined as failure. RESULTS: Of 63 patients, 56 of them (19 CAM-TSA and 37 primary TSA; 88.9%) were available for follow-up. There were 16 female (28.6%) and 40 male (71.4%) patients with a mean age of 57.8 years (range, 38.8-66.7 years). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss (P > .999) or surgical time (P = .127) between the groups. There were 4 patients (7.1%) who had failure, and failure rates did not differ significantly between the CAM-TSA (5.3%; n = 1) and primary TSA (8.1%; n = 3) groups (P > .999). Additionally, 2 patients underwent revision arthroplasty because of trauma. A total of 50 patients who did not experience failure (17 CAM-TSA and 33 primary TSA) completed PRO measures at a mean follow-up of 4.8 years (range, 2.0-11.5 years), with no significant difference between the CAM-TSA (4.4 years [range, 2.1-10.5 years]) and primary TSA (5.0 years [range, 2.0-11.5 years]) groups (P = .164). Both groups improved significantly from preoperatively to postoperatively in all PRO scores (P < .05). No significant differences in any median PRO scores between the CAM-TSA and primary TSA groups, respectively, were seen at final follow-up: ASES: 89.9 (interquartile range [IQR], 74.9-96.6) versus 94.1 (IQR, 74.9-98.3) (P = .545); SANE: 84.0 (IQR, 74.0-94.0) versus 91.5 (IQR, 75.3-99.0) (P = .246); QuickDASH: 9.0 (IQR, 3.4-27.3) versus 9.0 (IQR, 5.1-18.1) (P = .921); SF-12 PCS: 53.8 (IQR, 50.1-57.1) versus 49.3 (IQR, 41.2-56.5) (P = .065); and patient satisfaction: 9.5 (IQR, 7.3-10.0) versus 9.0 (IQR, 5.3-10.0) (P = .308). CONCLUSION: Patients with severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis who failed previous CAM benefited similarly from TSA compared with patients who opted directly for TSA.

BACKGROUND: The glenoid track (GT) concept illustrates how the degree of glenoid bone loss and humeral bone loss in the glenohumeral joint can guide further treatment in a patient with anterior instability. The importance of determining which lesions are at risk for recurrent instability involves imaging of the glenohumeral joint, but no studies have determined which type of imaging is the most appropriate. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and accuracy of different imaging modalities for measuring the GT in shoulders with recurrent anterior instability. We hypothesized that 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) would be the most accurate imaging technique. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines using PubMed, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane libraries between database inception and July 2019. We included all clinical trials or cadaveric studies that evaluated imaging modalities for assessing the GT. RESULTS: A total of 13 studies were included in this review: 1 study using 2-dimensional CT, 6 studies using 3D-CT, 4 studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 1 study using magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA)/MRI, and 1 study combining CT and MRI. The mean sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for 2D-CT was 92%, 100%, and 96%, respectively. For MRI, the means were 72.2%, 87.9%, and 84.2%, respectively. No papers included 3D-CT metrics. The mean intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for intraobserver reliability were 0.9046 for 3D-CT and 0.867 for MRI. ICCs for interobserver reliability were 0.8164, 0.8845, and 0.43 for 3D-CT, MRI, and MRA/MRI, respectively. CONCLUSION: There is evidence to support the use of both CT and MRI imaging modalities in assessing the GT. In addition, few studies have compared radiographic measurements with a gold standard, and even fewer have looked at the GT concept as a predictor of outcomes. Thus, future studies are needed to further evaluate which imaging modality is the most accurate to assess the GT.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: High rates of secondary surgery after fixation of olecranon fractures have been reported. Identification of risk factors can aid surgeons to reduce complications leading to additional surgical procedures. METHODS: Olecranon fractures treated at seven hospitals from 2007 to 2017 were identified, and the radiographs were classified. Isolated, displaced olecranon fractures treated operatively with tension band wiring (TBW) or precontoured plate fixation (PF) were reviewed. Adjusted risk factors for secondary surgery were analyzed, and a multivariable predictive model for secondary surgery was built. RESULTS: After the initial review of 1259 olecranon fractures, 800 isolated, displaced olecranon fractures met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The distribution of two-part and multifragmented fractures was equal. TBW was used in 636 patients and PF in 164 patients. Multifragmentation was a significant variable influencing preference for PF. Secondary surgery was performed in 41% patients and symptomatic hardware removal was the most frequent primary indication. In both the TBW and PF group, the rates of major complications leading to secondary surgery were 13% (P = .96). The adjusted risk of secondary surgery was lower with increasing age (odds ratio by 10 years increments, 0.74; 95% confidence interval, 0.68-0.80, P < .01). Compared with PF, TBW with transcortical K-wires (odds ratio, 2.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.36-3.14; P < .01) and TBW with intramedullary K-wires (odds ratio, 4.32; 95% confidence interval, 2.16-8.86, P < .01) had significantly higher adjusted risk of secondary surgery. CONCLUSION: Surgeons preferred to use PF in younger patients and multifragmented fractures. Patients should be counseled that secondary surgery is common after surgical fixation of olecranon fractures. Symptomatic hardware removal was the most frequently reported reason for secondary surgery and more frequent after TBW. When using TBW, intramedullary K-wire positioning should be avoided. The rate of major complications leading to secondary surgery was similar in the TBW and PF groups. Overall, the risk of subsequent secondary surgery was higher in younger patients and patients treated with TBW.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The acromioclavicular (AC) capsule and ligament have been found to play a major role in maintaining horizontal stability. To reconstruct the AC capsule and ligament, precise knowledge of their anatomy is essential. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purposes of this study were (1) to determine the angle of the posterosuperior ligament in regard to the axis of the clavicle, (2) to determine the width of the attachment (footprint) of the AC capsule and ligament on the acromion and clavicle, (3) to determine the distance to the AC capsule from the cartilage border of the acromion and clavicle, and (4) to develop a clockface model of the insertion of the posterosuperior ligament on the acromion and clavicle. It was hypothesized that consistent angles, attachment areas, distances, and insertion sites would be identified. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS: A total of 12 fresh-frozen shoulders were used (mean age, 55 years [range, 41-64 years]). All soft tissue was removed, leaving only the AC capsule and ligament intact. After a qualitative inspection, a quantitative assessment was performed. The AC joint was fixed in an anatomic position, and the attachment angle of the posterosuperior ligament was measured using a digital protractor. The capsule and ligament were removed, and a coordinate measuring device was utilized to assess the width of the AC capsule footprint and the distance from the footprint to the cartilage border of the acromion and clavicle. The AC joint was then disarticulated, and the previously marked posterosuperior ligament insertion was transferred into a clockface model. The mean values across the 12 specimens were demonstrated with 95% CIs. RESULTS: The mean attachment angle of the posterosuperior ligament was 51.4° (95% CI, 45.2°-57.6°) in relation to the long axis of the entire clavicle and 41.5° (95% CI, 33.8°-49.1°) in relation to the long axis of the distal third of the clavicle. The mean clavicular footprint width of the AC capsule was 6.4 mm (95% CI, 5.8-6.9 mm) at the superior clavicle and 4.4 mm (95% CI, 3.9-4.8 mm) at the inferior clavicle. The mean acromial footprint width of the AC capsule was 4.6 mm (95% CI, 4.2-4.9 mm) at the superior side and 4.0 mm (95% CI, 3.6-4.4 mm) at the inferior side. The mean distance from the lateral clavicular attachment of the AC capsule to the clavicular cartilage border was 4.3 mm (95% CI, 4.0-4.6 mm), and the mean distance from the medial acromial attachment of the AC capsule to the acromial cartilage border was 3.1 mm (95% CI, 2.9-3.4 mm). On the clockface model of the right shoulder, the clavicular attachment of the posterosuperior ligament ranged from the 9:05 (range, 8:00-9:30) to 11:20 (range, 10:00-12:30) position, and the acromial attachment ranged from the 12:20 (range, 11:00-1:30) to 2:10 (range, 13:30-14:40) position. CONCLUSION: The finding that the posterosuperior ligament did not course perpendicular to the AC joint but rather was oriented obliquely to the long axis of the clavicle, in combination with the newly developed clockface model, may help surgeons to optimally reconstruct this ligament. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Our results of a narrow inferior footprint and a short distance from the inferior AC capsule to cartilage suggest that proposed reconstruction of the AC joint capsule should focus primarily on its superior portion.

The elbow joint consists of the humeroulnar, humeroradial, and proximal radioulnar joints. Elbow stability is maintained by a combination of static and dynamic constraints. Elbow fractures are challenging to treat because the articular surfaces must be restored perfectly and associated soft tissue injuries must be recognized and appropriately managed. Most elbow fractures are best treated operatively with restoration of normal bony anatomy and rigid internal fixation and repair and/or reconstruction of the collateral ligaments. Advanced imaging, improved understanding of the complex anatomy of the elbow joint, and improved fixation techniques have contributed to improved elbow fracture outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Patients with a greater risk of recurrent instability and inferior clinical outcomes following a primary Latarjet procedure can be preoperatively identified on the basis of clinical, radiographic, and demographic criteria. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors influencing the rates of recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability and clinical failure following a primary Latarjet procedure. METHODS: All patients who underwent a primary Latarjet procedure were prospectively enrolled and evaluated. The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) outcome scores were collected at a minimum 5-year follow-up along with evidence of recurrent instability. Recurrent instability (recurrent subluxation or dislocation) was considered as a failure. Clinical failure was defined as a postoperative WOSI score of ≥630 points (≤70% normal) or a SANE score of ≤70 points. RESULTS: From 2004 to 2014, 344 patients (358 shoulders) with a mean age of 30.6 years (range, 16 to 68 years) were enrolled and had a mean follow-up time of 75 months (range, 61 to 89 months). The median postoperative WOSI score was 265 points (range, 0 to 1,100 points), and the median SANE score was 88 points (range, 50 to 100 points). Recurrence occurred in 17 shoulders (4.7%), 5 with dislocation and 12 with subluxation; and 28 (8.2%) of 341 shoulders without recurrent instability were clinical failures following a Latarjet procedure. The risk factors for recurrence included atraumatic dislocation (odds ratio [OR], 4.6; p < 0.01) and bilateral instability (OR, 4.0; p = 0.01), whereas the risk factors for clinical failure (WOSI score of ≥630 points or SANE score of ≤70 points) were female sex (OR, 2.8; p < 0.01) and bilateral instability (OR, 4.6; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes at a mean of >6 years following a primary Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability were very good, with an overall recurrence rate of 4.7%. An additional 8.2% of cases were defined as clinical failures. Patients with an atraumatic mechanism of primary dislocation, bilateral instability, and female sex were identified to be at a greater risk of recurrence or clinical failure. Although additional work is necessary, patients with capsuloligamentous laxity, relatively atraumatic instability history, bilateral instability, and female sex may be preoperatively identified as having a higher risk of treatment failure after a primary Latarjet procedure.
