The Bankart and Latarjet procedures are two of the most common surgical techniques to treat anterior shoulder instability with satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes. However, the outcomes in the adolescent population remain unclear, and there is no information regarding the arthroscopic Latarjet in this population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the arthroscopic Bankart and arthroscopic Latarjet procedures in the management of anterior shoulder instability in adolescents. We present a retrospective, matched-pair study of teenagers with anterior glenohumeral instability treated with an arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) or an arthroscopic Latarjet (AL) procedure with a minimum two-year follow-up. Preoperative demographic and clinical features, factors associated with dislocation, and complications were collected. Recurrence, defined as dislocation or subluxation, was established as the primary outcome. Clinical and functional outcomes were analyzed using objective (Rowe), and subjective (Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE)) scores. Additionally, the rate of return to sport was assessed.Aims
Methods
Chronic pain is one of the adverse outcomes in surgery for degenerative lumbar pathology (DLP). Postoperative complications as DVT, and chronic pain in pathologies as thoracotomy or breast cancer have been associated with poor control of postoperative pain. Prospective study of patients undergoing surgery for DLP.Introduction
Study design
An important number of factors affecting the outcome of surgical treatment have been identified, and these factors can affect the patient's selection for lumbar surgery. Retrospective study with data collected prospectively on patients undergoing surgery for degenerative lumbar pathology (DLP).Introduction
