This study aimed to identify the role of the scapula in shoulder musculoskeletal disorders
(SMDs) and provided a systematic review of available studies in the field of scapular three …

Purpose The purposes of this prospective non-randomized study were to confirm the
feasibility of the biodegradable sub-acromial spacer (InSpace™) implantation in patients …

INTRODUCTION: Glenohumeral instability with glenoid bone loss is commonly treated with
the Latarjet procedure. The procedure involves transfer of the coracoid and conjoint tendon …

Background: It is unknown at which stage of rotator cuff tear the biomechanical environment
is altered. The purpose of this study was to determine if a critical rotator cuff tear stage exists …

Background: The remplissage procedure may be performed as an adjunct to Bankart repair
to treat recurrent glenohumeral dislocation associated with an engaging Hill-Sachs humeral …

BACKGROUND: The management of engaging Hill-Sachs defects (HSD) is controversial.
The purpose of this study was to biomechanically compare 3 treatment strategies …

Background Recurrent shoulder instability is commonly associated with Hill-Sachs defects.
These defects may engage the glenoid rim, contributing to glenohumeral dislocation. Two …

Background and purpose Why some full-thickness rotator cuff tears are symptomatic and
others are asymptomatic is not understood. By comparing MRI findings in symptomatic and …

Background Posterior glenoid wear remains a challenge in anatomic and reverse total
shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) because of an asymmetric erosion with altered retroversion …

Background Biomechanical studies of the shoulder often choose an ex vivo approach,
especially when investigating the active and passive contribution of individual muscles …
