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.

BACKGROUND: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) causes progressive nasal collapse, nasal obstruction, and central face deformity. It is not known whether cartilaginous nasal reconstruction should be performed immediately or delayed until after disease "burnout." OBJECTIVES: The aims of this research regarding nasal collapse due to Wegener's granulomatosis were to (1) assess the functional and aesthetic outcomes following immediate vs delayed nasal reconstruction; and (2) measure the impact of psychosocial well-being (anxiety, depression, social isolation) in immediate vs delayed nasal reconstruction. METHODS: Wegener's patients with either immediate or delayed nasal surgery (n = 61) were compared. Functional and aesthetic severity were compared with the validated Standard Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcome Survey (SCHNOS) score (t test). In addition, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) perioperative and 1-year follow-up surveys were analyzed. RESULTS: At initial consultation, SCHNOS score severity types were similar for both groups (immediate vs delayed): mild 15% vs 15%; moderate 59% vs 60%, and severe 26% vs 25%. Over a 30 ± 4 month period, delayed surgery patients' conditions deteriorated, with a shift from mild to more severe SCHNOS scores, from 25% severe at initial consultation to 85% before surgery. PROMIS scores at presentation were high compared to the general public; by the time of delayed surgery, patients had significantly worsened: anxiety from 28 to 73; depression from 18 to 62; and social isolation from 20 to 80. Although both immediate and delayed groups improved after surgery in functional and psychosocial scores, the immediate surgery group's improvement was superior. CONCLUSIONS: Data showed superior functional and aesthetic scores and superior psychosocial indicators with immediate cartilaginous nasal reconstruction, compared with waiting until disease burnout to undergo surgery.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a form of gender-affirming care for the transgender population that is currently a highly debated topic both inside and outside of the medical community. Currently, a paucity of information is available in plastic surgery literature on ethical issues surrounding FFS. In this paper, we discuss 5 major ethical considerations for plastic surgeons with regard to FFS: (1) how society's changing view of gender has impacted the importance of FFS; (2) whether FFS is medically necessary and should be covered by insurance; (3) to what extent resources should be invested in removing barriers to access FFS; (4) how patient selection criteria should address the irreversibility of the procedure and age of consent; and (5) how femininity and beauty standards contribute to each other and whether they can be disentangled. This paper aims to analyze the arguments made for and against each of these 5 nuanced issues and to expand these debates from the theoretical to the practical by suggesting approaches for reconciliation.

Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) is a transformative surgical approach aimed at aligning the facial features of transgender women with their gender identity. Through a systematic analysis, this paper explores the clinical differences between male and female facial skeletons along with the craniofacial techniques employed in FFS for each region. The preoperative planning stage is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of virtual planning and AI morphing as valuable tools to be used to achieve surgical precision. Consideration is given to special circumstances, such as procedure sequencing for older patients and silicone removal. Clinical outcomes, through patient-reported outcome measures and AI-based gender-typing assessments, showcase the efficacy of FFS in achieving proper gender recognition and alleviating gender dysphoria. This comprehensive review not only offers valuable insights into the current state of knowledge regarding FFS but also emphasizes the potential of artificial intelligence in outcome evaluation and surgical planning to further advance patient care and satisfaction with FFS.

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.

The purpose of this paper is to provide updated information for sports healthcare specialists regarding the disabled throwing shoulder (DTS). A panel of experts, recognized for their experience and expertise in this field, was assembled to address and provide updated information on several topics that have been identified as key areas in creating the DTS spectrum. Each panel member submitted a concise presentation on one of the topics within these areas, each of which were then edited and sent back to the group for their comments and consensus agreement in each area. Part two presents the following consensus conclusions and summary findings regarding pathomechanics and treatment, including (1) internal impingement results from a combination of scapular protraction and humeral head translation; (2) the clinically significant labral injury that represents pathoanatomy can occur at any position around the glenoid, with posterior injuries most common; (3) meticulous history and physical examination, with a thorough kinetic chain assessment, is necessary to comprehensively identify all the factors in the DTS and clinically significant labral injury; (4) surgical treatment should be carefully performed, with specific indications and techniques incorporating low profile implants posterior to the biceps that avoid capsular constraint; (5) rehabilitation should correct all kinetic chain deficits while also developing high-functioning, throwing-specific motor patterns and proper distribution of loads and forces across all joints during throwing; and (6) injury risk modification must focus on individualized athlete workload to avoid overuse. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, expert opinion.

The purpose of this article is to provide updated information for sports health care specialists regarding the Disabled Throwing Shoulder (DTS). A panel of experts, recognized for their experience and expertise in this field, was assembled to address and provide updated information on several topics that have been identified as key areas in creating the DTS spectrum. Each panel member submitted a concise presentation on one of the topics within these areas, each of which were then edited and sent back to the group for their comments and consensus agreement in each area. Part 1 presents the following consensus conclusions and summary findings regarding anatomy and mechanics, including: 1) The current understanding of the DTS identifies internal impingement, resulting from a combination of causative factors, as the final common pathway for the great majority of the labral pathoanatomy; 2) intact labral anatomy is pivotal for glenohumeral stability, but its structure does not control or adapt well to shear or translational loads; 3) the biceps plays an active role in dynamic glenohumeral stability by potentiating "concavity compression" of the glenohumeral joint; 4) the ultimate function of the kinetic chain is to optimize the launch window, the precise biomechanical time, and position for ball release to most effectively allow the ball to be thrown with maximum speed and accuracy, and kinetic chain function is most efficient when stride length is optimized; 5) overhead throwing athletes demonstrate adaptive bony, capsular, and muscular changes in the shoulder with repetitive throwing, and precise measurement of shoulder range of motion in internal rotation, external rotation, and external rotation with forearm pronation is essential to identify harmful and/or progressive deficits. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, expert opinion.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is perhaps the most widely studied of the biologic therapies, with an ever-growing body of evidence supporting its safety and efficacy in decreasing inflammation and pain and promoting healing in the setting of both nonoperative and operative treatments. PRP is produced by the centrifugation of whole blood, isolating its constituent parts based on their unique densities. These density gradients can be selectively harvested so as to obtain different concentrations of various blood product components, such as platelets and leukocytes. A precise and consistent method for describing the essential characteristics of different PRP formulations is critical for both practical and research purposes. The concentration of platelets, method of activation, and the total number of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and neutrophils relative to baseline values are all of particular importance in accurately describing a PRP formulation. The biologic activity of PRP is manifold: platelet α granules promote the release of various growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor and tissue growth factor ß, while inflammation is modulated through inhibition of the nuclear factor-κB pathway. PRP has been convincingly shown to be efficacious in the setting of patellar tendinopathies, knee osteoarthritis, and lateral epicondylitis. In fact, several recent randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the superiority of PRP over both corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid in treating knee OA-related symptoms. There is also substantial promise for the utility of PRP in treating partial hamstring tears and as an adjunct to rotator cuff (RC) repair, especially in the setting of small- to medium-sized tears, where it appears to exert substantial analgesic effects and promote enhanced rates of RC repair healing.

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.

OBJECTIVE: A large factor influencing a patient's choice of aesthetic plastic surgeons is online patient reviews. METHODS/TECHNIQUE: Plastic surgeons whose practices are located in counties within the New York metro area were included. Selected surgeons were divided into private and academic surgeons (defined as having a residency program). For each surgeon, the quantity and quality of their Google reviews were collected. RESULTS/COMPLICATIONS: A total of 145 aesthetic surgeons from the New York area were included in the study, both private (n = 126) and academic (n = 19). Given the small size of the latter cohort, 19 private aesthetic surgeons were randomly selected, and compared with the academic surgeons, it was shown that private surgeons had both higher average quality and quantity of online patient Google reviews (confidence interval, 95%; P = 0.0223). Similar results were found when comparing all private American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) surgeons (n = 126) with all academic ASAPS surgeons (n = 19); private ASAPS surgeons had a higher average rating and number of reviews when compared with academic surgeons, again representing a statistically significant difference for the quality of online reviews between private and academic surgeons (confidence interval, 95%; P = 0.031975). CONCLUSIONS: There is a statistically significant difference in both the quality and quantity of online ratings for private and academic aesthetic surgeons.

INTRODUCTION: Indications for prophylactic antibiotic therapy in nonoperative, closed fractures of the orbit and zygoma remain controversial and are based on anecdotal data. The purpose of this study was to report the incidence of infectious sequelae among patients who presented to our institution with stated fractures and who were not administered prophylactic antibiotic therapy. The authors hypothesized that an increase in infectious complications would not be seen in these patients. METHODS: The authors conducted a prospective single site study from October 2015 to December 2019. Patients with closed, nonoperative fractures involving the orbit and/or zygoma were included. These patients did not receive prophylactic antibiotic therapy for their fracture patterns, and infectious complications including orbital cellulitis, meningitis, and bacterial sinusitis were noted if present during follow-up. RESULTS: Of 301 patients with closed, nonoperative orbital and/or zygomatic fractures, 268 were included in the study and 33 were excluded because of administration of antibiotics. The average age was 60 years, and the most common mechanism of injury was a traumatic fall. Fracture types included 100 orbital wall, 133 orbital floor, 15 orbital rim, 23 orbital roof, 48 zygoma, and 44 zygomaticomaxillary compound fractures. Infectious sequelae were not identified in any patient. CONCLUSIONS: Of the 268 patients included in the study, no infectious complications were identified during the follow-up period. This outcome further supports that the use of prophylactic antibiotics is not indicated for closed, nonoperative fractures involving the orbital and/or zygoma. Prospective randomized control studies would be useful to support this outcome and better guide clinical antibiotic prescribing practices.

BACKGROUND: Patients desire facelifting procedures to look younger, refreshed, and attractive. Unfortunately, there are few objective studies assessing the success of types of facelift procedures and ancillary techniques. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to utilize convolutional neural network algorithms alongside patient-reported FACE-Q outcomes to evaluate perceived age reduction and patient satisfaction following various facelift techniques. METHODS: Standardized preoperative and postoperative (1-year) images of patients who underwent facelift procedures were analyzed by 4 neural networks to estimate age reduction after surgery (n = 105). FACE-Q surveys were employed to measure patient-reported facial aesthetic outcome. We compared (1) facelift procedure type: skin-only vs superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)-plication, vs SMAS-ectomy; and (2) ancillary techniques: fat grafting (malar) vs no fat grafting. Outcomes were based on complications, estimated age-reduction, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: The neural network preoperative age accuracy score demonstrated that all neural networks were accurate in identifying our patients' ages (mean score = 100.4). SMAS-ectomy and SMAS-plication had significantly greater age-reduction (5.85 and 5.35 years, respectively) compared with skin-only (2.95 years, P < 0.05). Fat grafting compared to no fat grafting demonstrated 2.1 more years of age reduction. Facelift procedure type did not affect FACE-Q scores; however, patients who underwent fat grafting had a higher satisfaction with outcome (78.1 ± 8 vs 69 ± 6, P < 0.05) and decision to have the procedure (83.0 ± 6 vs 72 ± 9, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Artificial intelligence algorithms can reliably estimate the reduction in apparent age after facelift surgery. Facelift technique, like SMAS-ectomy or SMAS-plication, and specific technique, like fat grafting, were found to enhance facelifting outcomes and patient satisfaction.

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.

BACKGROUND: Posterior shoulder instability is an increasingly common pathology recognized in athletes. Adolescent athletes are especially at risk for this condition due to the widespread participation in numerous sports, including both overhead throwing and collision activities. Little data are available regarding surgical outcomes in these athletes with only a single small case series (N=25) currently published. METHODS: In total, 68 athletes (82 shoulders) with unidirectional posterior shoulder instability were treated with arthroscopic posterior capsulolabral reconstruction and underwent an evaluation at a mean of 36 months postoperatively. The average age for our cohort was 17.2 years (range, 14 to 19 y), with 66 males (80%) and 16 females (20%). A total of 55 athletes (67%) participated in contact sports and 32 athletes (39%) participated in overhead throwing. Thirty athletes (37%) participated in multiple sports. Preoperative and postoperative outcomes data were retrospectively reviewed, and included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score, subjective stability score, strength, range of motion, and return-to-play status. Intraoperative findings and methods of fixation were also recorded. RESULTS: Mean ASES score improved from 48.6 to 85.7 (P<0.001) after surgery. There were also significant improvements in stability, pain, and functional scores after surgery. Contact, throwing, and multisport athletes all showed similar scores at preoperative and follow-up timepoints, and no differences were noted between these athlete groups for any patient-reported outcome measure. Female athletes tended to have significantly lower preoperative and postoperative ASES scores, specifically within the pain domain when compared with males. With regard to the method of internal fixation, patients who underwent capsulolabral plications with suture anchors showed a trend toward greater improvement in ASES scores which did not reach statistical significance. Overall, 89% of athletes were able to return to competition, with 71% returning to their preinjury level of play. In total, 8.5% of athletes failed their initial surgical procedure with continued pain or instability that required revision surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic capsulolabral reconstruction is a reliable treatment for unidirectional posterior shoulder instability in an adolescent population, and does well for athletes involved in a variety of sporting activities. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV-case series.

BACKGROUND: The goal of facial feminization surgery (FFS) is to feminize the sexually dimorphic characteristics of the face and enable transwomen to be correctly gendered as female. Studies have demonstrated high patient satisfaction with FFS. However, the correct gendering of patients after FFS has never been objectively studied. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine if FFS changed the perceived gender of patients in the public eye. METHODS: An online survey platform with control photographs of cis-gender males and cis-gender females as well as preoperative and postoperative FFS patients was created. Respondents were asked to identify patients as "male" or "female" and to assign a confidence score ranging from -10 (masculine) to +10 (feminine) (n = 802). RESULTS: Cis-gender male and female controls were gendered correctly 99% and 99.38% of the time and with a confidence metric (CM) of -8.96 and 8.93, respectively. Preoperative FFS patients were gendered as female 57.31% of the time with a CM of 1.41 despite hormone therapy, makeup, and hairstyle. Postoperative FFS patients were gendered as female 94.27% of the time with a CM of 7.78. Ninety-five percent of patients showed a significant improvement in CM after FFS. CONCLUSIONS: This study illustrates that FFS changes the social perception of a patient's gender. Patients after FFS are more likely to be identified as female and with greater confidence than before surgery. This is despite preoperative female hormone therapy, and nonsurgical methods that patients use to feminize their appearance.

PURPOSE: To systemically describe posterior bone defects in the setting of posterior shoulder instability based on several parameters, including surface area, slope and version, defect height from the base of the glenoid, and extent of bone loss at equal intervals along the long axis of the fossa. METHODS: A total of 40 young, active individuals with recurrent posterior shoulder instability and a bony injury confirmed on either computed tomography (n = 18; mean age, 26.3 ± 4.0 years) or magnetic resonance imaging (n = 22; mean age, 20.0 ± 4.9 years) were identified. The posterior glenoid bone defect was characterized using the following measures: (1) percentage of bone loss, (2) glenoid vault version, (3) slope of the posterior defect relative to the glenoid surface, (4) superior-inferior length of the defect, and (5) anterior-posterior width of the defect at 5 intervals along the glenoid fossa. RESULTS: The mean age of the 40 patients was 22.9 ± 5.5 years (range, 14.9-35.5 years). The mean surface area of glenoid bone loss was 9.7% ± 4.7%. Glenoid version measured at 5 equal intervals along the inferior two-thirds of the glenoid was 12.8° ± 4.9°, 11.9° ± 5.0°, 10.1° ± 6.3°, 10.5° ± 6.5°, and 8.7° ± 7.2° from superior to inferior. The mean slope of the posterior defect relative to the glenoid fossa was 26.8° ± 11.5°. The mean superior-inferior height of the bony defect was 21.9 ± 0.4 mm. The anterior-posterior sloped width of the defect at 5 equal intervals along the glenoid fossa was 0.9 ± 1.5 mm, 2.8 ± 2.4 mm, 4.0 ± 1.7 mm, 4.0 ± 2.1 mm, and 2.9 ± 2.6 mm from superior to inferior. Low-grade (<10%) bone loss was diagnosed in most shoulders (23 of 40 evaluated), whereas 15 had moderate bone loss (10% to <20%) and 2 had high-grade bone loss (≥20%). CONCLUSIONS: Posterior glenoid bone loss is characterized by a loss of posterior bony concavity, increased slope from anterior to posterior, and increased posterior version. The most anterior-posterior sloped width was quantified at the third and fourth intervals of 5 equal intervals from superior to inferior. This study highlights that patients with posterior instability have bone loss that is sloped relative to the glenoid fossa and suggests that management must be appropriately tailored given the distinctiveness of posterior bone loss. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

Large defects of the craniofacial skeleton can be exceedingly difficult to reconstruct since autologous bone grafts are limited by donor site morbidity and alloplastic implants have low biocompatibility. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in craniofacial reconstruction have been used with mixed outcomes and complication concerns; however, results for specific indications have been promising.In alveolar clefts, cranial vault defects, mandibular defects, and rare Tessier craniofacial clefts, BMP-2 impregnated in collagen matrix was looked at as an alternative therapy for challenging cases. In cases where structural support was required, BMP-2 was used as part of a construct with bio-resorbable plates. Demineralized bone was added in certain cases.The authors described specific indications, detailed surgical techniques, and a review of the current literature regarding the use of BMP-2 in craniofacial reconstruction. BMP-2 is a viable option for craniofacial reconstruction to decrease donor-site morbidity or when alternatives are contraindicated. It is not recommended for routine use or in the oncologic setting but should currently be reserved as an alternative therapy for complex cases with limited options.Bone morphogenetic proteins are a promising, emerging option for complex craniofacial reconstruction. Future directions of BMP-2 therapies will become apparent as data from prospective randomized trials emerges.

Shoulder instability is a common problem in contact sports such as the National Football League. Although many elite level football athletes will have shoulder magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings consistent with labral tearing on MRI, these imaging findings are not always correlated with symptomatic instability or functional limitations. It is crucial in all patients, not just National Football League athletes, to treat the patient, and not the MRI.
