Summary: Traditionally, orthopaedic surgeons use >15-20% glenoid bone loss as the cut off for arthroscopic Bankart repairs. Primary Latarjet procedures are more effective in treating shoulder instability compared to revision Latarjet procedures, especially in cases with a lower threshold of bone loss.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a short shoulder external rotation (ER) strength training program in adolescent handball players, and the results showed that the program did not significantly improve shoulder ER strength or the ER/IR ratio.

Summary: The Turkish get-up is a functional strength exercise that emphasizes movement quality, improving shoulder and hip strength, stability, and flexibility. However, improper technique may result in kinematic errors and increased risk of injury.

Summary: This study biomechanically investigated the effect of cartilage loss on shoulder stability in different dislocation directions. The results showed that cartilage loss significantly decreased shoulder stability, with the greatest effect observed in the anterior-inferior dislocation directions. This suggests that surgical interventions to restore cartilage should be considered for recurrent shoulder dislocations.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety of dump slopes in high-altitude areas under severe dry-wet cycles. Numerical calculations and actual monitoring data analysis showed that the in-service dump slope remained stable after enduring four cycles of dry-wet.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the ability of stroke survivors and healthy individuals to generate internal and external rotation torque under different shoulder abduction and adduction loads. The results showed that patients on the paretic side performed poorly in generating internal and external rotation torque, and the effects of abduction and adduction loading were similar across all groups.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of trunk muscle training (TMT) on physical fitness and sport-specific performance in young and adult athletes. The results showed significant effects of TMT on various measures, with factors such as age and number of training sessions influencing the effectiveness of TMT.

Summary: The study found positive correlations between grip strength and VR-12 mental health scores, ER strength and SST score, as well as between abduction and ER strengths. Negative correlations were found between ASES function score and percentage loss of abduction strength, percentage loss of ER strength, and tear size in centimeters. This suggests that as shoulder strength decreases, ipsilateral shoulder RC dysfunction increases.

Summary: The study showed that an exercise program involving plyometric, proprioceptive and strength exercises can improve glenohumeral stability in rugby players. The improvement can be maintained for four weeks and significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups, as well as between different evaluations.

Summary: Glenoid concavity varies significantly in different directions, with a significant increase towards the superior, anteroinferior, and posteroinferior glenoid. The osteochondral shoulder stability ratio shows higher concavity. Anteroposterior concavity is linearly correlated with superoinferior concavity.

Summary: The concavity of the glenoid is a crucial factor for assessing glenohumeral stability, while the defect size has minor informative value. A biomechanical estimate, called the bony shoulder stability ratio (BSSR), proved to be a precise predictor of stability independent of defect size. Including glenoid concavity in clinical decision-making can improve personalized treatment for shoulder instability with anterior glenoid bone loss.

Summary: This paper documents a rapid drawdown (RDD) failure at Sparmos Dam in Northern Greece in 2016, highlighting the need for ongoing study of RDD analysis procedures. The case history shows that pore pressures from uncoupled transient seepage are unreliable for RDD.

Summary: Patients with neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome often experience pain and weakness in the upper limbs. This study aimed to assess the correlation between isokinetic shoulder strength and hand grip and key pinch strength. The results showed that there was a moderate correlation between grip strength and isokinetic rotators strength, as well as between key pinch strength and isokinetic rotators strength. Hand dynamometers can be useful for assessing overall upper limb weakness, but isokinetic measurement remains the gold standard for precise evaluation.

Summary: The location of potential failure surfaces was calculated using the finite element method and strength reduction method. Two new equations for estimating the upper limit of confining stress were proposed and validated using 31 real case studies.
