Summary: The study compared outcomes between biceps tenodesis and labral repair for type II SLAP lesions in a young active population, and found no significant differences in pain, function, and satisfaction between the two surgical approaches.

Summary: The study evaluated the outcomes of arthroscopic repair for type 2 SLAP lesions in the general population and found good short- and long-term clinical results regardless of age. It was recommended to only perform isolated type 2 SLAP lesion posterior repair to limit external rotation deficit and increase patient satisfaction.

Summary: The systematic review found that biceps tenodesis (BT) in overhead athletes after SLAP tear offers encouraging functional outcomes and return-to-sports rates, particularly in recreational athletes. It can be successfully performed as an index operation and is suitable for younger patients, but careful consideration is needed for elite overhead athletes, especially pitchers, who tend to experience poorer outcomes.

Summary: This review discusses the controversies regarding the pathophysiology, treatment options, outcomes, return to activities, and complications of type II SLAP injuries. Repairing SLAP II injuries appears to have better outcomes in younger patients and athletes who perform overhead movements, while tenodesis yields better outcomes in older patients. There is a current trend of recommending tenodesis even in underage patients and athletes, as there are reports of fewer re-operations and faster recovery.

Summary: This study found that torn labra in patients with glenohumeral labral injuries have increased expression of nerve fibers in the tear area, which may contribute to pain.

Summary: The study found that patients with Type V SLAP tears had a similar overall rate of RTP compared to those who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair alone. However, there was a significantly lower rate of RTP at the same or higher level in patients who underwent Type V SLAP repair.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of patients 5 years after arthroscopic SLAP repair and factors associated with satisfaction. The results showed a high rate of satisfaction and excellent patient-reported outcomes, but approximately one-tenth of the patients required revision surgeries. There was a high rate of return to play, but only a modest rate at the preinjury level, and overhead athletes took longer to return to play.

Summary: The study suggests that nonsurgical management of SLAP tears can be successful in athletes, especially in those who complete their rehabilitation program. However, factors such as age, type of sports, and injury severity may contribute to the failure of conservative treatment.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of arthroscopic Latarjet stabilization for patients with epilepsy and anterior shoulder instability. The results showed that the surgery can lead to improved functional and subjective outcomes, similar to patients without epilepsy.

Summary: Recurrent shoulder dislocations can cause abnormal translational kinematics and increased superior translation of the humerus. This may contribute to pathologic superior extension of capsulolabral injuries. Superior translation of the humerus with overhead motion in the setting of recurrent instability may also place the shoulder at risk for extension of the capsulolabral injuries.

Summary: Members of the military experience high rates of glenohumeral instability and SLAP tears. This study compared the outcomes of combined arthroscopic posterior labral and SLAP repair with isolated posterior labral repair and found no significant differences between the two methods.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of arthroscopic SLAP repair with arthroscopic-assisted subpectoral biceps tenodesis for type II SLAP tears in active-duty military patients younger than 35 years. The results showed that patients in the tenodesis group had lower pain, higher functional outcomes, and lower failure rates at a minimum of 5 years postoperatively compared with those in the repair group.

Summary: Comparing patients undergoing arthroscopic posterior labral repair in different positions, the study found that the surgical positioning did not significantly affect postoperative outcomes, and both beach-chair and lateral decubitus positions provided good treatment results. Additionally, increased age was identified as a weak independent risk factor for subjective recurrent instability.

Summary: The glenoid labrum plays a crucial role in stabilizing the glenohumeral joint. SLAP lesions are common injuries in the superior labrum. This review presents the 10 types of SLAP lesions using illustrations, MRI images, and arthroscopic images, providing a valuable radiological guide for orthopaedic surgeons.

Summary: The study conducted on patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis found that the PROMIS UE score correlated well with ASES and CS scores, with a lower question burden. This suggests that the PROMIS UE may have wider acceptability and comparable efficacy in patients with shoulder pathology like AC.

Summary: Telehealth emerged as a valuable tool for delivering healthcare to sports medicine patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both patients and physicians reported high levels of satisfaction with its use, with areas for improvement identified in patient ability to adopt new technology and communicate effectively with physicians.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients had high satisfaction with telemedicine visits and most would use the platform again in the future. However, the majority of patients preferred in-person visits for the same health complaints if there were no pandemic. Longer telemedicine visit duration and first-time telemedicine visits were associated with higher satisfaction rates.

Summary: This study reports a rare case of spontaneous, atraumatic rupture of the anterior and middle heads of the deltoid muscle with an underlying massive rotator cuff tear. Surgical repair of the torn deltoid was performed via a superior approach, considering its potential impact on future reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Direct surgical repair is a viable treatment option if diagnosed early.

Summary: This systematic review compared the clinical outcomes of inlay and onlay humeral tray designs in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The study found that both designs showed similar clinical improvements, but the onlay design had a lower rate of scapular notching and a higher rate of scapular spine fractures.

Summary: This study compares the 90-day complication rates of total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) performed for arthritis and distal humerus fractures. The results show that patients with arthritis have higher complication rates, possibly due to chronic inflammation and treatment side effects. However, patients with humerus fractures have lower complication rates.
