RESUMO
Patellar tendinopathy is a common pathology typically seen in athletes involved in repetitive explosive jumping and running activities. Also known as jumpers' knee, it is commonly seen in high-level basketball players. Typically, athletes continue to play with symptoms, which can be aggravated and progress to partial patellar tendon tears. When partial patellar tendon tears occur, prolonged recovery and decreased performance is commonly seen. The pathology and treatment can be frustrating for both the athlete and medical provider. Patellar tendinopathy typically does not involve inflammation but rather microinjury to the tendon fibers, which leads to mucoid degeneration, necrosis, and loss of transitional fibrocartilage. When partial tendon tears do occur, the typical location is posteromedially adjacent to the patella. Treatment involves a stepwise approach starting with nonoperative means, including activity modification, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy focused on eccentrics. Extracorporeal shock wave treatments and injections with platelet-rich plasma or bone marrow aspirate concentrate should be considered, with evolving literature to support their use. Ultrasound percutaneous tendon scrapping with a needle supplemented with the aforementioned injections is an emerging treatment option that the authors have found to be helpful, although further studies are required. Surgical intervention is considered after failure of nonoperative treatments, and typically occurs in tears greater than 50% of the tendon thickness and in tendons with increased thickness (>8.8 mm). Open or arthroscopic debridement can be considered, with no studies showing superior outcomes with either technique; however, no high-quality comparison studies exist. The authors prefer an open technique where, much like a bone-patellar tendon-bone harvest, the unhealthy proximal tendon and bone are excised with then closure of the healthy tendon with absorbable sutures. Suture anchor repair may also be used when necessary. In a recent systematic review, surgical management of patellar tendinopathy has been shown to result in improved patient-reported outcomes with return to sport at high levels.1 Treatment for the difficult and sometimes frustrating pathology of patellar tendinopathy continues to evolve, with biologic and less-invasive ultrasound-based treatments showing promise, and surgical intervention providing reliable outcomes.

Arthrofibrosis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can be a devastating complication with risk factors and causes not well established. Cyclops syndrome is a subtype involving localized scar anterior to the graft, which is typically treated with arthroscopic debridement. ACL quadriceps autograft is a newly popular graft option for which clinical data continue to develop. However, recent research shows possible increased risk of arthrofibrosis with quadriceps autograft. Possible causes include inability to achieve active terminal knee extension after extensor mechanism graft harvesting; patient characteristics, including female sex, and social, psychological, musculoskeletal, and hormonal differences; larger graft diameter; concomitant meniscus repair; exposed collagen fibers of the graft abrading the fat pad or tibial tunnel or intercondylar notch; smaller notch size; intra-articular cytokine; and biomechanical stiffness of the graft.

Glenohumeral arthritis is a challenging problem, especially in the young, active patient. After nonoperative treatment, including activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and injections, is exhausted, surgical treatment ranging from simple debridement to arthroplasty is commonly offered. Given concerns regarding arthroplasty implant longevity, there is an interest in joint-preserving procedures. In this difficult population, the authors recommend a systematic, inclusive approach to the array of pathologies encountered in the setting of early glenohumeral arthritis: the Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) procedure. CAM consists of the combination of arthroscopy, glenohumeral chondroplasty, synovectomy, loose body removal, microfracture, capsular release, humeral osteoplasty, axillary nerve neurolysis, subacromial decompression, and biceps tenodesis. Key perioperative care includes the use of regional nerve blocks to allow immediate physical therapy with the goal of restoring range of motion by 4 to 6 weeks with strengthening beginning at 6 to 12 weeks and return to full activities at 4 to 6 months. Although this is still considered a bridging procedure, the literature has reported 92% survival at 1 year, 85% survival at 2 years, 77% survival at 5 years, and 63% survival at 10 years. Predictors of failure of the CAM procedure include joint space <2 mm, flattening of the humeral head, and abnormal posterior glenoid morphology. Patient selection and education is therefore essential for optimizing outcomes.

Treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability has gained significant interest in recent years and involves evaluation of both glenoid and humeral sided bone loss. Decision making is more complex in patients with significant humeral or glenoid bone defects or in those who underwent previous instability surgery. Appropriate assessment of the glenoid track is necessary as "off track" lesions typically require treatments beyond arthroscopic labral repair alone. In those with significant humeral or glenoid sided bone loss, the authors recommend three-dimensional computed tomography in addition to magnetic resonance imaging for accurate evaluation. The Glenoid Track Instability Management Score is a useful guide to help direct treatment by using the glenoid track as well as other known risk factors for recurrence. In circumstances with significant glenoid bone loss, typically over 20%, a coracoid transfer such as the Latarjet is recommended. In patients that previously failed a coracoid transfer, the authors recommend a distal tibia allograft; however, distal clavicle and iliac crest autograft have also been reported to have high success rates. In those with large Hill-Sachs lesions, remplissage or bone grafting are recommended. An estimation of the postoperative glenoid track after glenoid bone augmentation is required for appropriate Hill-Sachs lesion treatment. The authors typically recommend against revision instability surgical treatment with arthroscopic repair alone.

PURPOSE: To systematically review and compare the surgical indications, technique, perioperative treatment, outcomes measures, and how recurrence of instability was reported and defined after coracoid transfer procedures. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature examining open coracoid transfer outcomes was conducted according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines using the Cochrane registry, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases from 2010 to 2020. Inclusion criteria included open coracoid transfer techniques, including the Bristow or Latarjet technique, full text availability, human studies, and English language. RESULTS: A screen of 1,096 coracoid transfer studies yielded 72 studies, which met inclusion criteria with a total of 4,312 shoulders. One study was a randomized controlled trial, but the majority of them were retrospective. Of those, 65 studies reported on postoperative outcome scores, complication rates, revision rate, and recurrence rates. Forty-three reported on range of motion results. Thirty studies reported on primary coracoid transfer only, 7 on revision only, and 30 on both primary and revision, with 5 not reporting. Average follow-up was 26.9 months (range: 1-316.8 months). Indications for coracoid transfer, technique, perioperative care, complications, and how failure was reported varied greatly among studies. CONCLUSIONS: Latarjet and coracoid transfer surgery varies greatly in its indications, technique, and postoperative care. Further, there is great variation in reporting of complications, as well as recurrence and failure and how it is defined. Although coracoid transfer is a successful treatment with a long history, greater consistency regarding these factors is essential for appropriate patient education and surgeon knowledge. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review of Level I-IV studies.

Our knowledge of appropriate arthroscopic management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) continues to evolve. However, few studies exist evaluating mid- to long-term surgical outcomes to guide optimal treatment. The recent focus has been on the importance of cam femoroplasty in addition to labral treatment; however, studies have shown that correction of the alpha angle to normal does not correlate with patient outcomes. Furthermore, in cases of mixed impingement, an optimal degree of acetabuloplasty as measured by the lateral center-edge angle has not been determined. Few studies have evaluated isolated pincer decompression with omission of cam treatment. In select patients with small or negligible cam lesions who do not have acetabular dysplasia, a small, isolated acetabular rim resection of 1 to 3 mm may provide adequate FAI decompression as well as reduce surgical time and complications. Nonetheless, individualized FAI treatment is necessary that includes a comprehensive 180° femoroplasty in patients with sizable cam lesions to prevent future labral and chondral damage. An intraoperative dynamic examination is important to determine sufficient resolution of FAI. Predictive modeling may play an increasingly important role to ensure appropriate bony resection and to optimize long-term patient outcomes.

Proximal hamstring tendon injuries are common among active and athletic populations and exist on a spectrum ranging from proximal tendinopathy to partial tears to complete avulsions. Imaging should include plain radiography as bony avulsions have been observed in skeletally immature patients. Magnetic resonance imaging is diagnostic in the setting of both partial tears and complete tears. A high-intensity (on T2-weighted images), crescent-shaped signal at the tendon-bone interface ("sickle sign") is indicative of a partial-thickness tear of the proximal hamstring tendons. In the setting of complete avulsions, magnetic resonance imaging is also useful in demonstrating the extent of tendon avulsion and quantifying the number of tendons torn. Nonoperative treatment for proximal tendinopathy, acute partial tears, and complete tears with minimal tendon retraction includes activity modification, eccentric stretching and strengthening, and potentially platelet rich plasma injections. Surgical repair should be considered for partial tears refractory to nonoperative management, acute tears with greater than 2 cm of distal retraction, and/or chronic retracted tears. The surgical approach is generally made through a transverse incision within the gluteal crease, which can be extended distally in a "T" configuration in the setting of chronic retracted tears. In the setting of chronic retracted tears, a sciatic nerve neurolysis may be required owing to scarring. Following the surgical procedure, a graduated rehabilitation protocol is commenced with the expectation for a return to full, unrestricted activities by 6 months postoperative, and excellent outcomes can be anticipated. Compared with repair of chronic tears, acute repairs have improved functional outcomes and lower re-tear rates.

PURPOSE: To evaluate outcomes of arthroscopic hip remplissage with folded iliotibial band allograft to treat cam over-resection. METHODS: Patients who underwent arthroscopic iliotibial band hip remplissage from May 2013 to April 2018 were prospectively evaluated. Pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcome scores were compared and included the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF12) Physical Health Composite Score (PCS), SF12 Mental Health Composite Score (MCS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and Hip Outcome Score (HOS) (Activities of Daily Living [ADL] and Sport). Postoperative Tegner Activity Scale and patient satisfaction (1-10) were also evaluated. RESULTS: Thirteen patients (2 men, 11 women) with an average age of 39.8 ± 9 years underwent arthroscopic hip remplissage with minimum 2-year and mean 3.1-year follow-up (range, 2.1-4.1 years). One hundred percent follow-up was achieved. The average number of previous surgeries was 1.38 (range, 1-3). One patient underwent total hip arthroplasty 2 years after remplissage. All 12 patients who did not undergo total hip arthroplasty had improved patient-reported outcomes after remplissage (mean scores: SF12 PCS 36 vs 42, P = .02; SF12 MCS 45 vs 51, P = .14; mHHS 45 vs 66, P < .001; minimal clinically important difference [MCID] 83%; WOMAC 42 vs 28, P < .001; HOS ADL 52 vs 69, P = .003; MCID, 67%; HOS Sport 27 vs 46, P = .015; MCID, 67%). All improvements met statistical significance, besides the SF12 MCS. Median postoperative Tegner score was 2.9. Median postoperative patient satisfaction was 7 out of 10 (range, 5-10). CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic hip remplissage is a successful salvage treatment option for hip instability caused by previous cam over-resection. Care must be taken during primary surgery not to over-resect the cam as patient-reported outcomes after remplissage are inferior to those undergoing primary hip arthroscopy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is (1) to determine if, when optimizing modern techniques, medial opening-wedge osteotomies can effectively maintain tibial slope and (2) to determine how different magnitude coronal plane corrections affect tibial slope. METHODS: Proximal tibial osteotomies (PTOs) were performed on 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric knees leaving a consistent lateral hinge, using either a 5-mm or a 10-mm trapezoidal wedged osteotomy plate. Techniques including posterior plate placement; a trapezoidal, sloped plate; and knee hyperextension were used during plate fixation to help close the anterior osteotomy gap. Medial coronal proximal tibia angle and posterior tibial slope were measured preosteotomy, after a 5-mm implant, and after a 10-mm implant using true anteroposterior and lateral fluoroscopic images. Three independent observers performed all radiographic measurements, and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated. RESULTS: The 5-mm and 10-mm osteotomy plates increased the coronal medial proximal tibia angle by a mean of 3.4° (range, 3.0°-3.7°) and 7.3° (range, 6.7°-7.7°), respectively. The 5-mm and 10-mm trapezoidal wedged osteotomy plates decreased the posterior tibial slope by a mean of 0.9° (range, 0.5°-1.2°) and 0.3° (range, 0°-0.6°), respectively. Intraobserver reliability was found to be high for both the coronal medial proximal tibia angle (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.897 [0.821-0.946]) and the tibial slope measurements (ICC = 0.761 [0.672-0.826]). CONCLUSIONS: When optimizing the medial opening-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy, including utilization of a sagittally oriented hinge, placement of a trapezoidal plate posteriorly, and fixation with knee hyperextension, posterior tibial slope can be maintained regardless of the degree of coronal correction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Tibial slope has a significant effect on cruciate ligament stress and a better understanding of coronal plane correction, and its effect on tibial slope is critical when performing proximal tibia osteotomies.

PURPOSE: We sought to qualitatively and quantitatively describe characteristics of Hill-Sachs lesions (HSL) in a cohort of anterior shoulder instability patients using advanced 3-dimensional (3-D) modeling software and assess the impact of various HSL parameters on the HSL volume, location, and orientation in patients with anterior shoulder instability. METHODS: A total of 100 recurrent anterior instability patients with evidence of HSL with a mean age of 27.2 years (range = 18 to 43 years) were evaluated. Three-dimensional models of unilateral proximal humeri were reconstructed from CT scans, and the volume, surface area (SA), width, and depth of identified HSLs were quantified along with their location (medial, superior, and inferior extent). Multiple angular orientation measures of HSLs were recorded, including Hill-Sachs rim (HSLr) angle in order to classify the level and location of potential humeral head engagement. Mann-Whitney U test assessed the relationship between measured parameters. RESULTS: By volume, larger HSL had greater humeral head surface area (HH SA) loss (P = .001), HSL width (P = .001), were more medial (P = .015), and more inferior (P = .001). Additionally, more medial lesions had greater HSLr angles (P = 0.001). The mean depth, width, and volume of HSLs were 3.3 mm (range = 1.2-7.1 mm), 16.0 mm (range = 6.2-30.4 mm) and 449.2 mm3 (range = 62.0-1365.6 mm3), respectively. The medial border of the HSL extended to 17.2 ± 4.4 (range = 9.3-28.3 mm) off the most medial edge of the HH cartilage margin (medialization). The mean HSLr was 29.3 ± 10.5°. CONCLUSION: There was a statistically significant association between HSL medialization and HSL volume, position, and orientation. More medialized HSL have larger volume, greater width, more SA loss and higher lesion angles and are more inferior in the humeral head. As it has been established that more medialized lesions have poorer clinical outcomes, this study highlights that HS lesions have varying angles and medialization, which may portend eventual treatment and outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, case series.

PURPOSE: To describe the key clinical, imaging, and arthroscopic characteristics of anchor arthropathy after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization procedures and, secondarily, to define risk factors for the development of anchor-induced arthropathy. METHODS: A total of 23 patients who underwent revision arthroscopic shoulder surgery and were diagnosed with glenohumeral arthropathy were retrospectively identified from prospectively collected data registries between January 2000 and May 2018. Data included initial diagnosis and index procedure performed, presenting arthropathy symptoms including duration, and examination findings before revision surgery. Pre-revision imaging was used to assess presence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and chondromalacia, anchors/sutures, loose bodies, and labral pathology. The same parameters were recorded intraoperatively during revision surgery. Descriptive statistics were performed for demographic data and means with standard deviations were calculated for continuous data. A McNemar-Bowker test was used to analyze marginal homogeneity between preoperative imaging and intraoperative findings. RESULTS: Mean age at presentation was 33.4 ± 11.7 years (range 16-59, 17 male patients; 6 female patients). More than one half (13/23) developed symptoms within 10 months after index arthroscopic procedure (mean 32.2 ± 59.9 months, range <1 to 165.2 months) with 87% presenting with pain and 100% presenting with loss of motion on examination. Plain radiographs demonstrated humeral osteoarthritis in 57% (13/23) of patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed recurrent labral pathology in 19 of 23 (83%) patients, potential proud implants in 12 of 23 (52%), and loose bodies in 12 of 23 (52%). Intraoperatively, all had evidence of osteoarthritis; 22 of 23 (96%) had prominent implants. Humeral head chondromalacia was present in 21 of 23 patients (91%), the majority of which was linear stripe wear, and 6 of 23 (26%) had severe global glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Statistical analysis revealed a 54.5% (95% confidence interval 0.327-0.749) sensitivity of MRI identification of proud implants with a specificity of 100% (95% confidence interval 0.055-1). The ability of MRI to accurately assess chondromalacia of the humeral head (P = .342) or glenoid (P = .685) was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Anchor arthropathy is characterized by symptoms of pain and stiffness on examination and in many cases develops early after stabilization surgery (<10 months). Implants were implicated in the majority of cases of humeral head chondromalacia. MRI scans may produce false-negative identification of proud implants and can be a poor predictor of the severity of chondromalacia and intra-articular pathology; thus, a high index of clinical suspicion is necessary in patients with motion loss and pain postoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

PURPOSE: To report clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing revision surgery after diagnosis of anchor-induced arthropathy. METHODS: Patients who underwent revision arthroscopic shoulder surgery and were diagnosed with post-instability glenohumeral arthropathy performed from January 2006 to May 2018 were included in the current study. Patients were excluded if they underwent prior open shoulder procedures, if glenoid bone loss was present, or if prerevision imaging and records were incomplete or not available. Data included initial diagnosis and index procedure performed, presenting arthropathy symptoms including duration, exam findings before revision surgery, and surgical intervention. PROMs were prospectively collected before surgery and at minimum 2-year follow-up. RESULTS: Fourteen patients were included with a mean (± standard deviation) age at presentation of 35.2 ± 12.1 years (range 16 to 59). The follow-up rate was 86%, with a mean follow-up of 3.8 years (range 1.1 to 10.6). Mean time to development of arthropathy symptoms was 48.2 months (range <1 month to 13.8 years), all presenting with pain and decreased range of motion on exam. At time of revision surgery, all patients underwent either open or arthroscopic removal of previous implants, including anchors and suture material. Six patients underwent additional revision stabilization procedures, 1 underwent total shoulder arthroplasty, and 7 underwent arthroscopic intraarticular debridement, capsular release, and chondroplasty with or without microfracture. Pain significantly improved in 79% of patients (P = .05). Significant improvements in all PROMs were observed, including 12-item Short Form (43.8 to 54.8, P < .01); Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand, shortened version (31.8 to 8.4, P < .01); Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (47.0 to 84.5, P < .05); and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (61.6 to 92.1, P < .01). Average external rotation significantly improved, from 31° ± 22° to 52° ± 24° (P = .02). CONCLUSION: Rapid intervention after diagnosis, through either revision arthroscopic or open debridement and stabilization, can lead to significant improvement in range of motion, pain, and overall patient function and satisfaction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective case series.

Joint preservation strategies in young, active patients are a challenge, particularly in those with combined cartilage and meniscal deficiency. Concomitant malalignment and/or ligamentous insufficiency are not uncommon and further add to the complex nature of these patients. In patients who require surgery, a complete treatment strategy must be developed and implemented because unaddressed pathology typically leads to poor outcomes over time. In addition to reconstructive procedures, biologic therapies both as nonsurgical treatments and surgical augments offer promise, but their indications and place in orthopaedics continue to evolve. A comprehensive approach to this difficult patient population, including understanding all underlying pathologies, the natural history of each condition, and the appropriate treatment for each pathology, is necessary for successful joint preservation treatment in the young and active population.

Sternoclavicular (SC) joint surgical procedures have risks as well as benefits and should be performed by experienced surgeons with a good understanding of the neurovascular anatomy and with a thoracic surgeon on call. Computed tomography angiograms to evaluate the proximity of the SC joint to the blood vessels are essential for preoperative planning. Care must be taken to exclude instability as a cause of SC joint symptoms, and surgeons must avoid causing iatrogenic instability. Both arthroscopic and open approaches can result in excellent clinical outcomes for patients with symptomatic SC arthritis. We prefer an open approach because an arthroscopic approach may have a greater risk of complications. In our experience, after surgical treatment of SC arthritis, 67% of patients return to sport at 2-year minimum follow-up.

Arthroscopic treatment of glenohumeral arthritis is an important option in young or active patients in whom arthroplasty is not desired or ideal. Typically, arthroscopic management is a bridging procedure with the goals of decreasing pain, improving function, and delaying the need for shoulder arthroplasty. Many levels of treatment have been described ranging from simple to complex-from joint lavage to glenohumeral ligament release and loose body removal to comprehensive arthroscopic management, which includes glenohumeral chondroplasty, synovectomy, loose body removal, microfracture, capsular release, humeral osteoplasty, axillary nerve neurolysis, subacromial decompression, and biceps tenodesis. Patient selection and education are essential because patients with end-stage arthritis (<2 mm of joint space) and bony deformity of the glenoid or humerus have less favorable long-term survival. We prefer the comprehensive arthroscopic management approach, although more technically difficult, because it attempts to address the greatest amount of pathology. We believe this permits the maximum likelihood of sustained benefit and avoidance of "heavy metal," with a 60% survival rate at minimum 10-year follow-up.

Anterior shoulder instability is common in young athletes. Male individuals younger than 20 years who are involved in contact sports are at particular risk of injury and recurrence. Essential imaging includes radiography and magnetic resonance imaging in all patients, with 3-dimensional computed tomography being helpful to evaluate glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs lesions. Evaluation of the glenoid track is essential to help determine appropriate treatment because off-track scenarios in which the Hill-Sachs width is greater than the glenoid width impart a risk of failure with isolated arthroscopic treatment. Associated injuries also must be evaluated, including bone loss, Hill-Sachs lesions, humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL), glenolabral articular disruption (GLAD), anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA), rotator cuff injury, other fractures, and axillary nerve injury. Optimal treatment continues to be debated. Conservative management with physical therapy for rotator cuff and periscapular strengthening can be attempted, with the addition of bracing if continued play is desired until the season's conclusion. Surgical intervention is considered in patients with recurrent dislocations, glenoid bone loss, or large Hill-Sachs lesions or in young athletes involved in contact or high-risk sports. Treatment options include arthroscopic capsulolabral repair with at least 4 anchors if good tissue quality and no bone loss exist. Remplissage has been recommended by some surgeons if a large Hill-Sachs exists. Open repair is suggested in patients with a high number of recurrent dislocations without bone loss or in those who participate in high-risk sports. Coracoid transfer or the Latarjet procedure is suggested in patients with bone loss greater than 20%. Bone grafting for glenoid bone loss using autograft or allograft, such as distal tibial allograft, is recommended in patients with a failed Latarjet procedure or those with significant bone loss. Hill-Sachs lesion grafting may also be beneficial in those with large lesions that engage.

Posterior glenohumeral instability can manifest as posterior shoulder pain and dysfunction, particularly among athletes. Repetitive, posteriorly-directed axial loads, as commonly encountered by contact athletes (American football linemen, rugby players), result in microtrauma that can induce posteroinferior labral tears. Alternatively, SLAP tears commonly seen in throwing athletes may propagate in a posteroinferior direction (i.e., a type VIII SLAP tear), owing to a complex pathologic cascade involving glenohumeral capsular contracture and imbalances among the dynamic stabilizing muscles of both the glenohumeral joint and shoulder girdle. The diagnosis of posterior glenohumeral instability is elucidated by a thorough history and physical examination. Posterior shoulder pain is oftentimes insidious in onset. The throwing athlete with posterior glenohumeral instability may complain of diminished control, accuracy, and generalized shoulder discomfort. A number of provocative physical examination maneuvers have been described (Kim test, Jerk test), which load the humeral head against the labral lesion and recreate patients' symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance arthrography can be of value in demonstrating avulsions of the labrum from the posteroinferior glenoid, and computed tomography is useful for quantifying the location and amount of attritional glenoid bone loss, although in contradistinction to anterior glenohumeral instability, clearly defined thresholds that would otherwise guide treatment have not been established. In the absence of substantial bone loss, arthroscopic posterior capsulolabral repair remains the gold standard for the surgical management of symptoms refractory to nonoperative treatment, and excellent clinical outcomes have generally been reported. However, high rates of return to play at the previous level of participation, particularly among throwing athletes, have been less consistently observed. Risk factors for the need for revision stabilization include surgery on the dominant extremity, female sex, and capsulolabral repairs involving either anchorless techniques or the use of less than 4 anchors.

PURPOSE: To determine risk factors and outcomes of revision arthroscopic posterior capsulolabral repair in contact athletes. METHODS: Contact athletes with unidirectional posterior instability who underwent arthroscopic posterior capsulolabral repair from 2000 to 2014 with minimum 4-year follow-up were reviewed. Revision rate was determined and those who required revision surgery were compared with those who did not. Age, gender, labral and/or capsular injury, level of sport, and return to sport were compared. Pre- and postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, pain, function, stability, range of motion, strength, and satisfaction were also compared. Magnetic resonance imaging measurements of glenoid bone width, glenoid version, labral width, labral version, and cartilage version were also compared. RESULTS: A total of 149 contact athletes' shoulders met inclusion criteria. Eight shoulders required revision surgery (5.4%) at 13.0-year follow-up with 2.6 years between primary surgery and revision. Preoperative stability was significantly worse in those that required revision (0.008). Postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score was significantly worse in the revision group (75.1 vs 87.8, P = .03). The only significant risk factor for requiring revision surgery was decreased glenoid bone width (26.4 mm vs 29.1 mm, P = .005). Cartilage version, labral version, and bone version were not significantly different, nor was labral width. Sex, labral injury, capsule injury, both capsule and labrum injury, and level of sport were not risk factors. Both return to sport at the same level (revision = 16.7% vs nonrevision = 72.1%, P < .001) and overall return to sport (revision = 50.0% vs nonrevision=93.7%, P < .001) were significantly worse in the revision group. CONCLUSIONS: Contact athletes underwent revision arthroscopic posterior capsulolabral repair at an incidence of 5.4% at minimum 4-year and average 13.0-year follow-up. The only significant risk factors for requiring revision surgery was smaller glenoid bone width and higher preoperative instability. Return to play after their subsequent surgery was significantly worse. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, comparative study.

PURPOSE: To quantify the effects of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) on tibiofemoral compartment contact area and pressures, knee kinematics, and forces. METHODS: Nine cadaveric knees were tested using a robotic testing system. Two loading conditions, (1) anterior tibial translational load coupled with axial compression and (2) internal tibial torque coupled with axial compression, were applied for each knee state at full extension and 30°, 60°, and 90° of knee flexion. Kinematic data was recorded for 3 knee states: anterolateral capsule (ALC) competent, ALC deficient, and post-LET using a 6-mm semitendinosus graft. In situ force in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was quantified using the principle of superposition by comparing the change in force measured before and after the removal of the ALC. Contact area and pressures in each tibiofemoral compartment were measured by replaying kinematics after soft tissues were removed and pressure sensors were inserted. RESULTS: In response to an anterior tibial translational load, mean contact area in the medial compartment decreased by 33.1% from the ALC-competent to post-LET knee states at 90° of knee flexion (P = .042). No significant differences in lateral compartment contact pressure were found between knee states. In situ force in the ACL in response to an anterior tibial translational load decreased by 43.4% and 50% from the ALC-deficient to post-LET knee states at 60° (P = .02) and 90° (P = .006). No significant difference in kinematics was observed between the ALC-competent and post-LET knee states in each of the loading conditions at all knee flexion angles (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: In this in vitro model, LET with a semitendinosus graft did not significantly overconstrain the knee or increase pressure in the lateral compartment. Additionally, LET reduced the in situ force in the ACL in the setting of ALC injury. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The lack of knee overconstraint without significant increases in lateral compartment pressures indicates that if an LET with semitendinosus graft is not overtensioned, accelerated degenerative changes in the lateral compartment may not be expected after this procedure.

PURPOSE: To determine the incidence of meniscal ramp lesions in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injured knees and to clarify whether ramp lesions are related to chronic ACL deficiency and increased knee instability. METHODS: Consecutive ACL injured patients were evaluated arthroscopically for a ramp lesion via a trans-notch view and evidence of menisco-capsular injury was recorded. Other concomitant injuries to the knee were also noted. Incidence of meniscal ramp lesions, delay before surgery, and anterior-posterior stability was analyzed. All patients underwent bilateral KT-2000 evaluation. RESULTS: One hundred and three consecutive ACL injured patients with a mean age of 24 years were included in this study. In total, a ramp lesion was found in 10 knees (9.7%) via a trans-notch view. None of these lesions could be identified by the standard view from the anterolateral portal. Other medial meniscal lesions were found in 26 knees (25.2%) by standard arthroscopic viewing. The ramp lesion group had significantly longer delay before surgery with a median of 191 days (p < 0.01) as well as a larger side-to-side difference of KT-2000 measurement (7.3 ± 1.8 mm; p < 0.01), compared with the intact medial meniscus group (53 days and 5.5 ± 1.5 mm, respectively). CONCLUSION: Ramp lesions that were identified using a trans-notch view were not visualized with standard arthroscopic views. Increased anterior tibial translation and longer delay before surgery were seen in knees with ramp lesions. Careful inspection of the posteromedial menisco-capsular region is required as hidden menisco-capsular lesions may occur which may result in residual knee instability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II.
