UNASSIGNED: Preoperative computed tomography (CT) evaluation of bone morphometry aids in determining treatment strategies for shoulder instability. The use of zero echo time (ZTE) sequence in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a new bone cortex imaging technique, may help reduce radiation exposure and medical costs. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the glenoid morphology and detect the presence of bony Bankart lesion using ZTE MRI in shoulders with anterior instability and compare its diagnostic accuracy with that of CT.
UNASSIGNED: Thirty-six patients (36 shoulders) with anterior instability who underwent preoperative CT and MRI examinations between April 2019 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The percentages of glenoid bone defects on 3-dimensional (3D) CT and ZTE images were determined, and the correlation between these percentages was evaluated. The number of cases with bony Bankart lesion on CT and 2 types of ZTE (3D and CT-like) images was determined, and the diagnostic accuracy of ZTE for detecting bony Bankart lesion was assessed, with CT as the gold standard. Patients with bony Bankart lesion on CT images were divided into 2 groups based on whether the lesion was detectable on 3D ZTE or CT-like images. The longer diameters of bony Bankart lesion were compared between the groups.
UNASSIGNED: The median percentage of glenoid bone loss was 12.1% (range, 1.3%-45.9%) and 12.3% (range, 0%-46.6%) on 3D CT and 3D ZTE images, respectively. The Spearman\'s rank correlation coefficient was 0.89. Bony Bankart lesion was detected in 18, 13, and 8 shoulders of the 36 patients on CT, 3D ZTE, and CT-like images, respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy of the CT-like and 3D ZTE images for detecting bony Bankart lesion was 86.1% and 72.2%, respectively. A significant difference was observed between the groups with and without bony Bankart lesion on CT-like images in terms of the long diameter of the bone fragments on CT (P < .01).
UNASSIGNED: ZTE MRI demonstrated high reproducibility for the evaluation of glenoid bone defect in shoulders with anterior instability. Although no significant difference in the measurement was observed compared with that on CT, the ability of ZTE MRI to delineate bone Bankart lesion remains limited.

UNASSIGNED: The treatment of bony glenoid defects after anteroinferior shoulder dislocation currently depends on the amount of glenoid bone loss (GBL). Recent studies have described the glenoid concavity as an essential factor for glenohumeral stability. The role of glenoid concavity in the presence of soft tissue and muscle forces is still unknown.
UNASSIGNED: Glenoid concavity would have a major impact on glenohumeral stability in an active-assisted biomechanical model including soft tissue and the rotator cuff\'s compression forces.
UNASSIGNED: Controlled laboratory study.
UNASSIGNED: In 8 human shoulder specimens, individual coordinate systems were calculated based on anatomic landmarks. The glenoid concavity was measured biomechanically and based on computed tomography. Static load was applied to the rotator cuff tendons and the deltoid muscle. In a robotic test setup, anteriorly directed force was applied to the humeral head until translation of 5 mm (Nant) was achieved. Nant was used as a parameter indicating shoulder stability. This was performed in the following testing stages: (1) intact joint, (2) labral lesion, (3) 10% GBL, and (4) 20% GBL. The 8 specimens were divided equally into 2 subgroups (low concavity [LC] versus high concavity [HC]), with 4 specimens each, according to the previously measured concavity.
UNASSIGNED: Anterior glenohumeral stability was highly correlated with the native glenoid concavity (R 2 = 0.8). In the testing stages 1 to 3, we found a significantly higher mean stability in the HC subgroup compared with the LC subgroup (P≤ .0142). The HC subgroup still showed higher absolute Nant values with 20% GBL; however, there was no significant difference from the LC subgroup. The loss of stability in 20% GBL was correlated with the initial concavity (R 2 = 0.86). Thus, a higher loss of Nant in the HC subgroup was observed (P = .0049).
UNASSIGNED: In an active-assisted model with intact soft tissue surrounding and muscular compression forces, the glenoid concavity correlates with shoulder stability. In bony defects, loss of concavity is an essential factor causing instability. Due to their significantly higher native stability, glenoids with HC can tolerate a higher amount of GBL.
UNASSIGNED: Glenoid concavity should be considered in an individualized treatment of bony glenoid defects. Further studies are required to establish reference values and develop therapeutic algorithms.

UNASSIGNED: Both knotted all suture anchors and metal anchors are used for arthroscopic Bankart repair. We retrospectively evaluated and compared clinical and functional outcomes after arthroscopic Bankart repair using the knotted all-suture anchors and knotted metal anchors.
UNASSIGNED: In a retrospective cohort analysis, patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair without any concomitant additional lesion repair using either all-suture anchors or metal anchors, between January 2015 and May 2018 were identified. Their pre- and post-operative functional and clinical outcomes were compared using Rowe and WOSI scores. The recurrence rate in the two groups was also compared.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 41 patients in all suture anchors group and 47 in the metal anchors group were identified as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. The demographic profile of both groups was comparable. There was no significant difference in clinical and functional outcome between the two suture anchor groups as per Rowe (pre-operative 40.13+6.51 vs 38.09+6.24 and post-operative 2 years 93.28+7.09 vs 92.55+9.2) and WOSI (pre-operative 943.05+216.64 vs 977.55+165.46 and post-operative 2 years 278.21+227.56 vs 270.94+186.25) scores. There was a significant improvement in both the groups between preoperative and post-operative ROWE and WOSI scores at 6 months and 2 years follow-up as compared to pre-operative scores (p<0.001). Re-dislocation rates were also comparable (4.8% vs 6.3%).
UNASSIGNED: All-suture anchors showed comparable clinical and functional results as the metal anchors for arthroscopic Bankart repair at two-year follow-up.

Transthoracic defibrillation and cardioversion are commonly used techniques to resuscitate a patient during acute cardiac arrhythmic events. There are numerous complications associated with these procedures. We report a previously unreported complication where a patient suffered from a supraspinatus tear after cardioversion for ventricular tachycardia. There are numerous complications associated with these procedures. We report a previously unreported complication where a middle-aged Chinese patient with no previous trauma history suffered from a supraspinatus tear after cardioversion for ventricular tachycardia.

BACKGROUND: We assessed intraarticular injuries in patients after primary anterior traumatic shoulder dislocation by comparing magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) results with concomitant arthroscopic findings.
METHODS: All patients with primary traumatic shoulder dislocation who underwent arthroscopic surgery between 2001 and 2020 with preoperative MRA were included in this study. MRA was retrospectively compared with arthroscopic findings. Postoperative shoulder function was prospectively assessed using the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score (quick DASH), the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), as well as the rate of return to sports.
RESULTS: A total of 74 patients were included in this study. A Hill-Sachs lesion was consistently found in the corresponding shoulders on MRA and arthroscopy in 35 cases (p = 0.007), a Bankart lesion in 37 shoulders (p = 0.004), and a superior labrum from anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesion in 55 cases (p = 0.581). Of all cases, 32 patients were available for a clinical and functional follow-up evaluation. A positive correlation was found between the level of sport practiced and the Oxford Shoulder Score (redislocation subset) (p = 0.032) and between the age at the time of surgery and the follow-up SSV (p = 0.036). Conversely, a negative correlation was observed between the age at the time of surgery and the Oxford Instability Score (redislocation subset) (p = 0.038).
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study show a good correlation between MRA and arthroscopy. Therefore, MRA is a valid tool for the detection of soft tissue pathologies after primary anterior traumatic shoulder dislocation and can aid in presurgical planning.

There exists a considerable amount of evidence regarding short-term outcomes of shoulder arthroscopy in athletes; however, mid- to long-term data are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to evaluate studies assessing mid- to long-term outcomes and rates of return to sport in athletes undergoing primary shoulder arthroscopy. A search for the systematic review was performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase on 14 March 2023. Study parameters, as well as their respective outcomes, were described in detail and compiled into diagrams. Five studies were included, which contained data on a total of 307 shoulders in patients with mean ages ranging from 20.3 to 26.9 years and mean follow-up times ranging from 6.3 to 14 years. The arthroscopic Bankart repair was the primary surgical intervention performed in all five studies. The overall rate of return to sport was 84% (range, 70-100%) across the studies. The rate of return to sport at pre-injury level was 65.2% (range, 40-82.6%) across four studies. The overall rate of recurrent instability was 17.3%, with redislocation specifically occurring in 13.7% of patients across all studies. The overall rate of revision surgery was 11.1%. Athletes who underwent primary shoulder arthroscopy demonstrated favorable outcomes and a high rate of RTS at a minimum follow-up of 5 years. However, rates of recurrent instability, redislocation, and revision surgery occurred at less than favorable numbers, which emphasizes the importance of proper patient selection when considering candidates for arthroscopic versus open repairs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of CT-like images based on a 3D T1-weighted spoiled gradient-echo sequence (T1 GRE), an ultra-short echo time sequence (UTE), and a 3D T1-weighted spoiled multi-echo gradient-echo sequence (FRACTURE) with conventional CT in patients with suspected osseous shoulder pathologies.
METHODS: Patients with suspected traumatic dislocation of the shoulder (n = 46, mean age 40 ± 14.5 years, 19 women) were prospectively recruited and received 3-T MR imaging including 3D T1 GRE, UTE, and 3D FRACTURE sequences. CT was performed in patients with acute fractures and served as standard of reference (n = 25). Agreement of morphological features between the modalities was analyzed including the glenoid bone loss, Hill-Sachs interval, glenoid track, and the anterior straight-line length. Agreement between the modalities was assessed using Bland-Altman plots, Student\'s t-test, and Pearson\'s correlation coefficient. Inter- and intrareader assessment was evaluated with weighted Cohen\'s κ and intraclass correlation coefficient.
RESULTS: All osseous pathologies were detected accurately on all three CT-like sequences (n = 25, κ = 1.00). No significant difference in the percentage of glenoid bone loss was found between CT (mean ± standard deviation, 20.3% ± 8.0) and CT-like MR images (FRACTURE 20.6% ± 7.9, T1 GRE 20.4% ± 7.6, UTE 20.3% ± 7.7, p > 0.05). When comparing the different measurements on CT-like images, measurements performed using the UTE images correlated best with CT.
CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of bony Bankart lesions and other osseous pathologies was feasible and accurate using CT-like images based on 3-T MRI compared with conventional CT. Compared to the T1 GRE and FRACTURE sequence, the UTE measurements correlated best with CT.
CONCLUSIONS: In an acute trauma setting, CT-like images based on a T1 GRE, UTE, or FRACTURE sequence might be a useful alternative to conventional CT scan sparing associated costs as well as radiation exposure.
CONCLUSIONS: • No significant differences were found for the assessment of the glenoid bone loss when comparing measurements of CT-like MR images with measurements of conventional CT images. • Compared to the T1 GRE and FRACTURE sequence, the UTE measurements correlated best with CT whereas the FRACTURE sequence appeared to be the most robust regarding motion artifacts. • The T1 GRE sequence had the highest resolution with high bone contrast and detailed delineation of even small fractures but was more susceptible to motion artifacts.

BACKGROUND: The shoulder joint is the joint with the most dislocations in all joints. The arthroscopic surgery method is considered the gold standard because it creates less soft tissue damage, shorter hospitalization and surgery time, and less restriction of movement after surgery in shoulder instability. Anterior single portal technique has become popular recently. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the results of the anterior single portal repair technique using \"birdbeak\". We try to evaluate if this technique is a reliable technique and has the same or more advantages of two portal arthroscopic surgery and make the surgery easier for surgeons.
METHODS: In the total of 40 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation between January 2017 and February 2020, this study included 19 patients with the surgical technique of arthroscopic isolated anterior labrum tear repair using a birdbeak from the anterior single working portal. Clinical results were evaluated with the Simple Shoulder Test (SST), Rowe Score for Instability (RWS) and Oxford Shoulder Instability Score (OSIS) tests before and after surgery. The relationship between the time to surgery after the first dislocation and clinical outcomes was also examined in the study. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were used to control the assumption of normality. In addition, Pearson correlation and Spearman correlation analyzes were used to test the relationship between the variables.
RESULTS: The mean follow-up period of the 19 patients included in this study was 33.1 months. The mean time to surgery after the first dislocation was 18.4 months. The mean preoperative number of dislocations was 5.3. The mean number of anchors used in the repair was 2.1. No recurrent dislocations were observed after surgery. A significant difference was observed between preoperative and postoperative SST, RWS and OSIS scores (respectively, p = 0.000 < 0.001, p = 0.000 < 0.001, p = 0.000 < 0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between the time elapsed after the first dislocation and the postoperative SST, RWS, OSIS scores (respectively, p = 0.43 > 0.05, p = 0.39 > 0.05, p = 0.31 > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: It has been observed that the repair technique applied using the \"birdbeak\" from the anterior single working portal is a successful treatment, and further studies are required due to the limited literature.

UNASSIGNED: Although athletes are mostly allowed to return to play 6 months after shoulder stabilization surgery, there are inadequate data about their functional status during this period.
UNASSIGNED: Performance tests would reveal insufficiency in the functional capacity of shoulder 6 months after stabilization surgery.
UNASSIGNED: Prospective cohort study.
UNASSIGNED: Level 3.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 32 male athletes with arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair (AACR) were included in the study. Shoulder internal and external rotator (IR-ER) strength was assessed using isokinetic dynamometer at 60°/s and 180°/s angular velocities preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Shoulder function was assessed with closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability (CKCUES) test, Y balance test-upper quarter (YBT-UQ), and unilateral seated shot-put test (USSPT) at 6 months postoperation. Western Ontario shoulder instability index (WOSI) and Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) were used for the self-assessment of the shoulder. Mixed-model ANOVA was used to analyze the changes in the IR-ER strength on both shoulders. Limb symmetry index (LSI) was calculated for the IR-ER strength, YBT-UQ, and USSPT scores.
UNASSIGNED: Shoulder IR strength was higher at 6 months postoperatively compared with preoperatively. The LSI was 76.4% and 76.6% for ER strength, and 94.2% and 94% for IR strength at 60°/s and 180°/s angular velocities, respectively, at the postoperative 6 month timepoint. The mean CKCUES test score was 21.8 ± 2.6 touches and the LSI was 94.7% for the YBT-UQ and 102.5% for the USSPT. WOSI (P < 0.001) and TSK (P = 0.001) scores were significantly lower at 6 months postoperatively.
UNASSIGNED: Functional status of the patients with shoulder stabilization surgery improved considerably 6 months after surgery, yet they did not fully recover function.
UNASSIGNED: Exercise programs focusing on shoulder ER strength and shoulder performance should be emphasized after stabilization surgery.
