Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to outline the natural history and
best clinical practices for nonoperative management of anterior shoulder instability. Recent …

Purpose To (1) define the cumulative recurrence rate after primary anterior shoulder
dislocation in Level I and II comparative studies and (2) to pool risk ratios for common risk …

Background: There is a lack of high-quality population-based literature describing the
epidemiology of primary anterior shoulder dislocation. Purpose: To (1) calculate the …

Purpose To determine the effectiveness of proficiency-based progression (PBP) training
using simulation both compared with the same training without proficiency requirements and …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical and design
characteristics of newer suture anchors under cyclic loading. METHODS: Suture anchors …

Background First-time anterior shoulder dislocations are associated with a high rate of
residual instability. Therefore, many surgeons support initial Bankart repair surgery over …

Objective To review and compare treatments (1) after primary traumatic shoulder dislocation
aimed at minimising the risk of chronic shoulder instability and (2) for chronic post-traumatic …

Background: The risk of recurrence after the first episode of anterior shoulder dislocation is
high with nonoperative treatment in younger patients. Purpose/Hypothesis: The aim of this …

Background Anterior shoulder dislocations in young patients are associated with high rates
of recurrent instability. Although some surgeons advocate for surgical stabilization after a …

Background: Clinical studies of shoulder dislocations typically include adult patients (> 16
years of age). Only small case series of patients aged 10 to 16 years are available to guide …
