Abstract
Background Destabilizing shoulder injuries are common in high school American football players; however, the rate of recurrent glenohumeral instability and return to play after arthroscopic labral stabilization surgery remains unknown. Purpose/Hypothesis The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of recurrent instability on return to competitive high school football after arthroscopic shoulder labral stabilization and capsulorrhaphy procedures. It was hypothesized that the instability rate would be greater in players with more years of eligibility remaining (YER) to play at the high school level. Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods Consecutive male high school football players with at least 1 YER who sustained at least 1 anterior traumatic inseason shoulder instability episode and underwent arthroscopic stabilization between 2012 and 2017 were identified. Patients and/or families were contacted by phone to discuss (1) recurrent instability episodes and (2) return to competitive sport and/or recreational athletic activity. Statistical analysis was conducted using chi-square tests to compare recurrent shoulder instability with return to play and YER. Results A total of 45 football players aged 14 to 17 years were included, with a mean follow-up of 4.1 years. Most patients (60%) chose not to return to competitive football, due mainly to fear of recurrent injury. Overall, the recurrent instability rate was 15.6% (7/45). The instability rate in players who returned to football was 16.7%, with 66.7% requiring revision surgery. The instability rate in patients who did not return to football was 14.8%, with no revision procedures required. In players who returned to football, the instability rate in YER group 4 was significantly higher than that in YER groups 1 to 3 (42% vs 10.5%, respectively, P = .03), with each year of play conferring an additional 10% risk of reinjury. There was a significant difference in the type of recurrent instability in players who returned to any sport versus those who did not (P = .029). Conclusion High school football players who returned to competitive play after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization surgery experienced a higher rate of recurrent instability that was dependent on their YER. Over half of the players chose not to return to football, with fear of reinjury being the most common reason.

Abstract
A Hill-Sachs lesion, a posterolateral bony defect of the proximal humerus, occurs when the humerus head collides with the anterior region of the glenoid during an anterior shoulder dislocation. A posteriorly dislocated shoulder may cause a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion, which is a deficiency on the anteromedial part of the humeral head due to impaction. Avascular necrosis could result from this lesion if detection and repair are not carried out. The subscapularis tendon is separated from the smaller tuberosity using an open technique in the original McLaughlin procedure, which was initially described in 1952. In neglected cases of patients undergoing surgery after three weeks, there is no commonly accepted standard of care. Glenohumeral joint stabilization and early and full functional recovery are the two objectives of the procedure. This case report describes a modified McLaughlin surgery where the subscapularis tendon and lesser tuberosity are transferred to the reverse Hill-Sachs defect for stability. The clinical significance of our case report is that it accentuates the role of early detection and appropriate management of reverse Hill-Sachs lesion, which is often overlooked and missed in a case of posterior shoulder dislocation. The use of the modified McLaughlin procedure not only covers the defect with a bone chunk and the subscapularis tendon transfer over the head of the humerus but the stable fixation with the anchor and cannulated cancellous screw helps in early rehabilitation of the shoulder joint.

Abstract
Background Fracture classifications of the distal clavicle are based on ligamentous integrity. The influence of osseous microarchitecture on fracture occurrence, morphology, and the lesion's stability has not yet been investigated. We aimed to characterize osseous microarchitecture according to common fracture classification systems based on ligamentous integrity and investigated the possible effects of age, gender, and osteoporosis in distal clavicle fractures. Methods N = 20 human cadaveric distal clavicles were scanned using XtremeCT with an isometric voxel size of 82 μm. In the sagittal plane, each data set was evaluated in 11 sections of approximately 7 mm thickness. Three topographic regions were defined: the bone lateral to the trapezoid (LTR), intertubercular (ITR), and medial to the conoid (MCR) ligament. Cortical bone mineral density (BMD) [mgHA/cm3] and cortical porosity (1- (BV/TV) [%]) were determined and evaluated relative to age and gender. Results Along the mediolateral axis, there was an >20-fold increase in median cortical porosity (P ≤ .001). There were significant differences in cortical porosity between LTR and ITR (P ≤ .001) but not between ITR and MCR (P = .09). In ITR, cortical porosity was significantly greater in >60-year-old compared to younger donors (P = .01). For BMD, there was an >2-fold decrease toward the distal apex (P ≤ .001). BMD was significantly greater in ITR compared to LTR (P ≤ .001) and in MCR compared to ITR (P = .02). In ITR and MCR, clavicles of >60-year-old donors had significantly lower BMD values compared to younger donors (P < .01). Across all 3 regions, frequency distribution of low bone mass did not significantly differ between <60-year-olds and >60-year-olds (P > .6). Conclusion The distal clavicle features a characteristic bony microarchitecture. The present study revealed a significant difference in bone quality of lateral, intertubercular, and medial zones of the distal clavicle and could specify target areas and strategies for surgical treatment of unstable fractures. Age, gender, and osteoporosis have a limited effect on bone quality and fracture genesis. In contrast, ligamentous quality is supposed to exert a substantial influence on fracture characteristics, especially in ITR. Fracture morphology of the distal clavicle is determined by a bony-ligamentous conjunction, which remains to be characterized.

A Case Report of the Reconstruction of a Bone Defect Following Resection of a Comminuted Fracture of the Lateral Clavicle Using a Titanium Prosthesis. Front Surg 2021; 8:646989. [PMID: 34540884 PMCID: PMC8447902 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2021.646989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: This case report describes the reconstruction of a severe comminuted fracture and bone defect in the lateral half of the clavicle using a novel titanium prosthesis. This unique prosthesis has been specifically designed and three dimensionally printed for the clavicle, as opposed to the Oklahoma cemented composite prosthesis used in common practice. The aims of this study were to: (1) describe the prosthesis, its stress analysis, and its surgical fixation and (2) to demonstrate the results of the 2-year follow-up of the patient with the lateral clavicle prosthesis. Patient's Main Concerns: A 20-year-old, right-handed woman complaining of severe pain in the right shoulder was admitted to our hospital following a traffic accident. Physical examination revealed pain, swelling, tenderness, limb weakness, asymmetric posturing, and loss of function in the right shoulder. Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcomes: Radiographic evaluation in the emergency room showed complete destruction with a comminuted fracture of the lateral half of the right clavicle and a comminuted fracture of the coracoid. We designed a new prosthesis for the lateral half of the clavicle, which was then tested by finite element analysis and implanted. Use of the new prosthesis was effective in the reconstruction of the comminuted fracture in the lateral half of the clavicle. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient had an aesthetically acceptable curve and was able to perform her activities of daily living. Her pain was relieved, and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score improved. Active range of motion of the shoulder joint and muscle strength were also improved. Conclusion: This novel prosthesis is recommended for reconstruction of the lateral half of the clavicle following development of bony defects due to fracture. Our patient achieved functional and aesthetic satisfaction with this prosthesis.

Abstract
Background Locked posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder (LPFDS) is a very rare injury that occurs predominantly in young patients following high-energy trauma. The long-term outcome of the treatment of this injury is often poor. This study sought to present the characteristics of injury, discuss the pathological anatomy, and to report the treatment outcomes of our case series. Methods Between January 2012 and May 2018, a total of 234 patients who underwent surgical treatment for proximal humerus fractures were reviewed. Among them, six patients (mean age, 54.7 years; range, 35-76 years) with LPFDS were included in this study. Four patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking plates, one with hemiarthroplasty, and one with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Clinical results were evaluated by Constant, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and visual analog scale (VAS) scores and radiologic evaluation was conducted using follow-up radiographs. Results The mean length of follow-up was 26.2 months (range, 12-54). The mean Constant, ASES, and VAS scores were 66.7, 65.5, and 2.2, respectively. Four patients who underwent ORIF achieved bony union, but avascular necrosis (AVN) of the humeral head was observed in two patients. No complications were observed in the patients who underwent arthroplasty surgery until final follow-up. Conclusions In the treatment of LPFDS, replacement arthroplasty can produce predictable results. The approach of ORIF may be considered as a first choice of treatment in young patients but is sometimes correlated with postoperative complications such as AVN and the functional outcomes may be unpredictable. Therefore, patients should undergo careful diagnosis and treatment of this type of injury.

Abstract
Acute injuries to the shoulder girdle are common and frequently encountered by the practicing radiologist. The type of injury is highly dependent on the age of the patient and mechanism of trauma with injuries occurring at the site of greatest mechanical weakness. In this review, we discuss the main clinical features and key imaging findings for the most common shoulder injuries. For each injury, we also provide a section on the important features that the orthopedic surgeon needs to know in order to guide surgical versus nonsurgical management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE WORK To describe a valid option for the treatment of locked posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder (LPFDS) and to compare it to the literature about this topic. METHODS We present a small case series (3 patients), with a medium follow up at 4 years and 5 months. We accurately describe our surgical strategies, underlining the choice of approach, reduction and fixation. RESULTS The three patients showed excellent functional and radiological results at the follow up examinations, with a full range of shoulder movements and complete regain of pre-trauma activities. A lateral approach (standard or minimally invasive), a reduction technique with a Shantz pin in the head and in the humeral shaft, and fixation with a locking plate were used in the three patients. CONCLUSION LPFDS is a challenging lesion, hard to recognize and to treat. Our suggested method of treatment is highly reproducible and has revealed itself to be very effective in achieving good results.

Posterior Shoulder Dislocation Associated With the Head (Splitting) and Humeral Neck Fracture: Impact of Understanding Radiologic Signs and Experience With an Extended Deltopectoral Approach. Tech Hand Up Extrem Surg 2018; 22:57-64.

Abstract
In this paper, our main objective was to emphasize the competency of extended deltopectoral exposure, enforced with the supraspinatus and subscapularis detachment, to gain access to the entire head. The second important point in this paper was to underline the importance of the knowledge that is necessary for interpreting classic radiologic signs of posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder. A 47-year-old woman fell down directly onto her shoulder while she was skiing. She was diagnosed with posterior shoulder dislocation, associated with fracture of the head (head splitting) and humeral neck fracture, with the aid of plain radiographs and computed tomographic results. The patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture, through the extended deltopectoral approach, which was augmented with rotator cuff detachment. At the 1-year follow-up, x-rays showed stable fixation with good evidence of healing. One year after the surgery, the patient had no pain, and she regained most of her functionality in her right shoulder with 140 to 150 degrees of lateral elevation (abduction), 140 to 150 degrees of forward flexion , internal rotation hand at T12 vertebra (slightly restricted). These results showed good functionality, with a painless shoulder at the 1-year follow-up. The "double shadow" and "lightbulb" signs are indicative of posterior shoulder fracture-dislocation, and augmented (with the detachment of supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons) traditional deltopectoral incision is suitable for managing these kinds of difficult fracture dislocations.
