The Shoulder

Greatest Range of Motion in the Body

Motion in all 3 planes of movement

Prone to injuries

8-20% of all sports injuries

Shoulder dislocation

2% of the population

90% anterior dislocation

First shoulder dislocation is a dramatic eventwith dare consequences especially in athletic

individuals

17% to 96% (mean 67%)

Redislocation after acute traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder

• Multicenter study

• 245 patients aged 12-40 years

• 10 years follow up

• 52% recurrence rate

• 23% were operated

Prognosis of recurrence after traumatic first time dislocation

Primary anterior dislocation of the shoulder in young patients. A 10 year prospective study - Hovelius 1996 JBJS(A)

The major prognostic factor of recurrence after acute traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation is the age of the patient and the degree of participation to athletic endeavors

Is shoulder arthroscopy the best treatment of the first shoulder dislocation?

Arthroscopy in the treatment of

first dislocation

What does it offer?

To what kind of patients?

Better understanding of the pathology

Reduction of recurrence rate

Treatment of rotator cuff lesions in older individuals

What does shoulder arthroscopy offers

The patient

Young professional athlete General population First dislocation in: Athletically oriented individual Loose joint individual

• Bankart lesion

• Tears of the anterior capsule

• Plastic deformation of the posterior capsule

• Hill-Sachs lesion, Bony Bankart

• rotator cuff tears

• SLAP lesions

Lesions after first shoulder dislocation

Our findings in first shoulder dislocation

Arthroscopic Shoulder Reconstruction

Goal of the Operation: Define the pathology

Restoration of the Labrum to its anatomic attachment

Reestablishment of the appropriate tension

in the IGHL complex and capsule

Repair bony Bankart and large Hill-Sachs lesions

Repair SLAP lesions

Repair rot cuff tears

Recurrence rate:

Arthroscopic treatment 16%

Conservative treatment 47%

Quality of life (WOSI)

Better in the arthroscopy group

Young athletes

Transglenoid technique

Follow Up 60 months

Arthroscopic treatment 96 % excellent results

Conservative treatment 5.5 % excellent results

Treatment success

Avoid recurrence Range of motion Minor morbidity Few complication Return to preinjury activity level Reproducible results

These are possible with arthroscopic treatment of the first shoulder dislocation in selected

patients

First traumatic shoulder dislocation in patients older than 40 years

Rotator cuff tears 63%

Conclusions

The conservative treatment produces a unacceptable high recurrence rate in young athletic individuals

Arthroscopic treatment has a high success

Arthroscopy can be performed in an outpatient setting

The anatomy can be restored with minimum morbidity and pain for the patient

Careful assessment will allow repair of all lesions after the first dislocation

Conclusions

In older patients rotator cuff tears are common The arthroscopic treatment of symptomatic rotator cuff tears is fissible with minimum morbidity

ConclusionsConclusions

Indications for arthroscopic stabilization of first shoulder dislocation

• young patients

• professional athletes

• athletically inclined individuals

• dominant shoulder

• avoidance of motion loss

• return to the same activity level

• overhead activity and activity in AB-ER

• rotator cuff tears in older patients

Modern arthroscopic techniques are probably the treatment of choice in these patients

Conclusions
