This is the first time an 8-week rehabilitation following Latarjet shoulder reconstruction has been reported. In athletes with anterior glenohumeral dislocation who require accelerated return to play, a Latarjet reconstruction with an 8-week rehabilitation protocol may be considered.
A 10-year-old girl presented to the physical therapist with acute left knee pain, after sprinting that morning. She reported a pop and lateral knee pain, which caused her to stop her run. The physical therapist referred the patient for radiographs that day, which showed a possible lateral patellar avulsion. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed the following day, given the poor accuracy of radiographs in patellar avulsions, which confirmed a lateral patellar retinacular sleeve avulsion.
