Editorial Commentary: Arthroscopic Latarjet Shoulder Stabilization: Where Are We? Where Are We Going?

Arthroscopic Latarjet procedure has shown satisfactory clinical outcomes in the treatment of anteroinferior shoulder instability. Although as of today there is no proven advantage of the arthroscopic procedure over an open one, it is too early to give up. At the same time, crucial to understand the causes of failure, to find the solutions to every single difficulty to simplify this surgery and to make it as accessible as possible

Arthroscopic glenohumeral arthrodesis with o-arm navigation

Glenohumeral arthrodesis is an end-stage salvage operation that has traditionally been performed in an open fashion. In recent years an arthroscopic approach has been described. The purpose of this report was to present an arthroscopic glenohumeral arthrodesis technique with the assistance of O-arm-based navigation. An illustrative case example is presented. This technique allows not only a minimally invasive glenohumeral arthrodesis but also precise screw fixation by navigation, which may be particularly useful in cases of limited bone stock and/or bony deformity

Reverse Fosbury Flop Tear of the Rotator Cuff

"Fosbury flop" tear is an avulsion of the posterosuperior rotator cuff from the bone with reversal healing on its medial bursal-side. This case report describes a unique variant of Fosbury flop tear with a lesion of the musculotendinous junction that healed, for its tendon part, on the anterior humerus and coracoid process

Posterosuperior rotator cuff repair by an independent double-row technique. Technical note and radiological and clinical results

The present study reports an original independent double-row technique for arthroscopic posterosuperior rotator cuff repair. Clinical and ultrasound results were assessed at 6-month follow-up in a single-center series of 78 patients with a mean age of 57years. Constant score improved from 55 to 73 (P<0.05). Seven patients (9%) had re-tear: 6 tendon avulsions from the bone and 1 tear at the myotendinous junction. This repair technique provided a high rate of tendon healing on the bone, with a lower rate of complications than with traditional double-row repair techniques

Arm lengthening after reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a review

The purpose of this review is to provide a better understanding of biomechanical changes induced by reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), discuss the different techniques of radiographic assessment of upper limb lengthening after RSA and determine the ideal soft tissue tension that provides the best functional outcome without increasing the risk of complications

Midterm outcome of arthroscopic revision repair of massive and nonmassive rotator cuff tears

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the midterm functional outcome of arthroscopic revision rotator cuff repair and compare the outcomes of nonmassive and massive rotator cuff tears
