Previous studies have shown that arthroscopic
Bankart repair (ABR) for the treatment of anterior shoulder
instability (ASI) may lead to high rates of instability recurrence
and revision surgery at 10-year follow-up, but data on 20-year
postoperative outcomes are scarce.
The high rates of failures and reoperations
(up to 50%) after arthroscopic posterior Bankart repair (APBR)
remain a concern.
In conclusion, in patients with recurrent
posterior instability, the presence of posterior glenoid erosion
was the main risk factor for failure after APBR. By contrast, a
posterior bony Bankart...
The femoral attachment of the anterolateral
ligament (ALL) reported by anatomic studies is posterior and
proximal to the lateral femoral epicondyle.
In conclusion, independent ALL reconstruction
while performing a percutaneous technique enabled anatomic
positioning of the ALL graft in 79% of cases. The...
In recent years, anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) injuries in children and adolescents (age ≤18 years) have
been increasing, and the quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft has been
gaining popularity for ACL reconstruction. However, there is no
consensus regarding the graft choice for ACL reconstruction in
these young...
Despite advancements in surgical techniques,
the recurrence rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture
after reconstruction remains between 2% and 20%. An increased
posterior tibial slope (PTS) is associated with higher ACL rupture
and reconstruction failure rates.
