Arthroscopic Stabilization of the Shoulder in Adolescent Athletes Participating in Overhead or Contact Sports

Design and Testing of the Degree of Shoulder Involvement in Sports (DOSIS) Scale

“…The reasons for this poor correlation could be that athletes affected by shoulder instability are usually not significantly impaired by pain at follow-up and that reduction in sport performance is related to causes other than pain. 11,15 The psychometric features of the DOSIS scale were comparable overall to those of the Tegner activity scale. Briggs et al 9 tested the psychometric features of the Tegner activity scale on approximately 500 patients.…”

Recurrence and return to play after shoulder instability events in young and adolescent athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…An additional 22 studies were found by cross-referencing the bibliographies of full-text articles, resulting in a total of 162 initial citations. We were left with 18 manuscripts 18 20 22 27–41. However, one manuscript only reported outcomes from 24 months and onwards with sparse and incomplete data on short-to-moderate (6–24 months) outcomes 34.…”

Open and Arthroscopic Anterior Shoulder Stabilization

“…The risk factors associated with treatment failure (recurrent instability or functional deficits) following arthroscopic operative repair include age, sex, presence of an osseous Bankart and/or a large Hill-Sachs (cortical depression in the posterolateral part of the humeral head) 6 lesion, participation in competitive collision sports or sports that entail forcible overhead shoulder activity, hypermobility, and number of (typically, more than three) instability episodes prior to operation [7][8][9][10] . As a result, there has been a recent shift toward open stabilization in high-risk patients Disclosure: None of the authors received payments or services, either directly or indirectly (i.e., via his or her institution), from a third party in support of any aspect of this work.…”
