Borderline Glenoid Bone Defect in Anterior Shoulder Instability Borderline Glenoid Bone Defect in Anterior Shoulder Instability Latarjet Procedure Versus Bankart Repair Yoon Sang Jeon,* MD, Ho Yeon Jeong,y MD, Dong Ki Lee,y MD, and Yong Girl Rhee,yz MD Investigation performed at the Shoulder & Elbow Clinic, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Kyung Hee University, Seoul, Republic of Korea Background: The optimal procedure for anterior shoulder instability with a borderline (15%-20%) bone defect on the anterior rim of the glenoid is still controversial. Purpose: To compare the clinical outcome and recurrence rate between the arthroscopic Bankart repair and Latarjet procedure among patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and a borderline glenoid bone defect. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed cases of arthroscopic Bankart repair and the Latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability with a borderline (15%-20%) glenoid bone defect. Enrollment comprised 149 patients (Bankart group, n = 118; Latarjet group, n = 31). The mean follow-up and age at operation were 28.9 6 7.3 months (range, 24-73 months) and 26 6 5 years (range, 16-46 years), respectively. Results: Rowe and UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) shoulder scores significantly improved from 42.0 6 14.3 and 22.9 6 3.2 preoperatively to 90.9 6 15.4 and 32.5 6 3.3 postoperatively in the Bankart group (P \ .001) and from 41.0 6 17.9 and 22.3 6 3.4 to 91.1 6 16.1 and 32.3 6 3.4 in the Latarjet group (P \ .001), respectively. There were no significant between-group differ- ences in Rowe (P = .920) or UCLA (P = .715) scores at the final follow-up. Mean postoperative loss of motion during forward flex- ion, external rotation in abduction, and internal rotation to the posterior was 3.0° 6 6.2°, 11.6° 6 10.2°, and 0.6 spinal segment in the Bankart group and 3.7° 6 9.8°, 10.3° 6 12.8°, and 0.9 spinal segment in the Latarjet group, respectively. These differences were not significant. However, the loss of external rotation at the side was significantly greater in the Bankart group (13.3° 6 12.9°) than in the Latarjet group (7.3° 6 18.1°, P = .034). The overall recurrence rate was significantly higher in the Bankart group (22.9%) than in the Latarjet group (6.5%), (P = .040). Conclusion: The Latarjet procedure and arthroscopic Bankart repair both provided satisfactory clinical outcome scores and pain relief for anterior shoulder instability with a borderline glenoid bone defect. However, the Latarjet procedure resulted in signifi- cantly lower recurrences and less external rotation limitation than the arthroscopic Bankart repair. Therefore, the Latarjet proce- dure could be a more reliable surgical option in anterior recurrent instability with a borderline glenoid bone defect.

  • Coracoid Graft Union: a Quantitative Assessment by Computed Tomography in Primary and Revision Latarjet Procedure
    ARTICLE IN PRESS J Shoulder Elbow Surg (2018) ■■, ■■–■■ www.elsevier.com/locate/ymse ORIGINAL ARTICLE Coracoid graft union: a quantitative assessment by computed tomography in primary and revision Latarjet procedure Mohammad Samim, MD, MRCSa, Kirstin M. Small,MDb,*, Laurence D. Higgins, MD, MBAc aDepartment of Radiology, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York, NY, USA bDepartment of Radiology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA cBoston Shoulder Institute, Boston, MA, USA Background: The goal of the Latarjet procedure is restoration of shoulder stability enabled by accurate graft positioning and union. This study aimed to establish a reproducible method of quantitatively assess- ing coracoid graft osseous union percentage (OUP) using computed tomography (CT) scans and to determine the effect of other factors on the OUP. Materials and methods: Postoperative CT scans of 41 consecutive patients treated with the open Latarjet procedure (37% primary, 63% revision) for anterior glenohumeral instability were analyzed for the OUP, position of the graft, and screw type and angle. Two musculoskeletal radiologists independently exam- ined the images 2 times, and intraobserver and interobserver reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Mean OUP was 66% (range, 0%-94%) using quantitate methods, with good intraobserver re- liability (ICC = 0.795) and interobserver reliability (ICC = 0.797). Nonunion and significant graft resorption was found in 2 patients. No significant difference was found in the mean OUP in the primary (63%) vs. revision Latarjet procedure (67%). Grafts were flush in 39%, medial in 36%, and lateral in 8%. The medial and neutral graft position was associated with slightly higher OUP (72% and 69%) compared with lateral (65%).

  • Validation of a Clinical Prediction Rule for the Differentiation Between Septic Arthritis and Transient Synovitis of the Hip in Children by MININDER S
    COPYRIGHT © 2004 BY THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY, INCORPORATED Validation of a Clinical Prediction Rule for the Differentiation Between Septic Arthritis and Transient Synovitis of the Hip in Children BY MININDER S. KOCHER, MD, MPH, RAHUL MANDIGA, BS, DAVID ZURAKOWSKI, PHD, CAROL BARNEWOLT, MD, AND JAMES R. KASSER, MD Investigation performed at the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, Biostatistics, and Radiology, Children’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts Background: The differentiation between septic arthritis and transient synovitis of the hip in children can be difficult. The purpose of the present study was to validate a previously published clinical prediction rule for this differentiation in a new patient population. Methods: We prospectively studied children who presented to a major children’s hospital between 1997 and 2002 with an acutely irritable hip. As in the previous study, diagnoses of septic arthritis (fifty-one patients) and transient synovitis (103 patients) were operationally defined on the basis of the white blood-cell count in the joint fluid, the re- sults of cultures of joint fluid and blood, and the clinical course. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to compare the two groups. The predicted probability of septic arthritis of the hip from the prediction rule was compared with actual distributions in the current patient population. The area under the receiver operating char- acteristic curve was determined. Results: The same four independent predictors of septic arthritis of the hip (a history of fever, non-weight-bearing, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 40 mm/hr, and a serum white blood-cell count of >12,000 cells/mm3 (>12.0 × 109/L)) were identified in the current patient population.

Provencher, M.D., C.A.PT., M.C., U.S.N.R. Abstract: Recurrent multidirectional shoulder instability (MDI) is a challenging clinical problem, particularly in the setting of connective tissue diseases, and there is a distinct lack of literature discussing strategies for operative management of this unique patient group. These patients frequently present with significant glenoid bone loss, patulous and abnormal capsulolabral structures, and a history of multiple failed arthroscopic or open instability procedures. Although the precise treatment algorithm requires tailoring to the individual patient, we have shown successful outcomes in correcting recurrent MDI in the setting of underlying connective tissue disorders by means of a modified T-plasty capsular shift and rotator interval closure in conjunction with distal tibial allograft bony augmentation. The purpose of this Technical Note was to describe a technique that combines a fresh distal tibial allograft for glenoid bony augmentation with a modified T-plasty capsular shift and rotator interval closure for the management of recurrent shoulder MDI in patients presenting with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or other connective tissue disorders after failed Latarjet stabilization. ecurrent multidirectional shoulder instability Conversely, MDI without hyperlaxity is more likely to R(MDI) is a difficult clinical problem and becomes present with anterior and/or posterior capsulolabral even more challenging in the face of connective tissue pathology1,2 in addition to bony lesions.

    The Open Eden-Hybinette Procedure for Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability With Glenoid Bone Loss Joseph W. Galvin, DO,* Zachary R. Zimmer, MD,* Alexander M. Prete, BS,* and Jon J.P. Warner, MD* In the setting of significant glenoid bone loss, soft tissue stabilization procedures for recur- rent anterior shoulder instability have high failure rates. The open or arthroscopic Eden- Hybinette procedure with tricortical iliac crest autograft has been shown to provide good results with low rates of recurrent instability. Indications for this technique include severe glenoid bone loss (>40%), recurrent instability following a Latarjet or distal tibial allograft procedure, or patients with abnormal coracoid morphology.

  • The Biomechanics of the Latarjet Reconstruction: Is It All About the Sling? Nobuyuki Yamamoto, MD,* and Scott P
    The Biomechanics of the Latarjet Reconstruction: Is It All About the Sling? Nobuyuki Yamamoto, MD,* and Scott P. Steinmann, MD† It has been clinically believed that the stabilizing mechanism of the Latarjet procedure is the sling effect. Biomechanical studies have demonstrated that there are 3 stabilizing mecha- nisms of the Latarjet procedure, the main one being the sling effect produced by the sub- scapularis and conjoint tendons. The other 2 mechanisms are the suturing of the capsular flap at the end-range arm position and reconstruction of the glenoid concavity at the mid- range arm position. All 3 stabilizing mechanisms function at both the mid- and end-range arm positions. After the Latarjet procedure, the shoulder even with a large glenoid defect can have stability increased by 14% compared to the normal shoulder. The acceptable clini- cal outcomes of the Latarjet procedure are supported by these 3 stabilizing mechanisms. Oper Tech Sports Med 27:49-54 © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Ankle and Pantalar Arthrodesis
    ANKLE AND PANTALAR ARTHRODESIS George E. Quill, Jr., M.D. In: Foot and Ankle Disorders Edited by Mark S. Myerson, M.D. Since reports in the late 19th Century, arthrodesis has been a successful accepted treatment method for painful disorders of the ankle, subtalar, and transverse tarsal joints. While the title of this chapter involves arthrodesis - the intentional fusion of a joint - as a form of reconstruction, this chapter will address not only surgical technique, but nonoperative methods of care as well. We will address the pathophysiology leading to ankle and hindfoot disability, succinctly review the existing literature on the topic of hindfoot and ankle arthrodesis, highlight the pathomechanics involved, and spend considerable time on establishing the diagnosis, indications, and preoperative planning when surgery is indicated. We also will discuss the rehabilitation of the postoperative patient, as well as the management of complications that may arise after ankle and pantalar arthrodesis. There are more than thirty different viable techniques that have been described in order to achieve successful ankle and hindfoot arthrodesis. It is not the purpose of this chapter to serve as compendium of all the techniques ever described. The author will, rather, attempt to distill into a useful amount of clinically applicable material this vast body of information that the literature and clinical experience provide. Ankle arthrodesis is defined as surgical fusion of the tibia to the talus. Surgical fusion of the ankle (tibiotalar) and subtalar (talocalcaneal) joints at the same operative sitting is termed tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. Fusion of the talus to all the bones articulating with it (distal tibia, calcaneus, navicular, and cuboid) is termed pantalar arthrodesis.
