Arthroscopic treatment of posterior shoulder instability: results in 35 patients (SS-33)

‘Batter’s Shoulder’: Can Athletes Return to Play at the Same Level After Operative Treatment?

“…The findings in our series are similar to those reported in the literature for arthroscopic treatment of posterior instability. The overall rate of return to play at the same level in the literature ranges from 75% to 91% [5,13,20,27,28]. When the subset of overhead athletes is examined, the success rate is substantially lower.…”

“…Posterior instability in the athletic population more commonly arises from contact sports such as football and rugby and occurs from acute trauma [12,15] or repetitive microtrauma [20]. In the case of batter's shoulder, the major rotational forces about the shoulder are believed to be the cause of the instability [19].…”

Arthroscopic Repair for Posterior Shoulder Instability

“…Results have been mixed in the few published series examining outcomes. [10][11][12][13][14][15] To date, few studies have evaluated the results of arthroscopic posterior stabilization in athletes with recurrent posterior instability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of a consistent arthroscopic stabilization technique, using an anterosuperior 12-o'clock viewing portal, from a single surgeon for recurrent posterior instability.…”

Arthroskopische Schulterstabilisierung mittels Fadenankern unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des tiefen anterior-inferioren Zugangs (5:30 Uhr)

“…Deshalb hat sich die arthroskopische Schulterstabilisierung inzwischen zum Goldstandard für die meisten Formen der Schulterinstabilität entwickelt, mit Erfolgsraten von bis zu 90-95% [3,7,8,[11][12][13]17], und wird auch erfolgreich bei Kontaktsportlern angewendet [16]. Restabilisierungen For this reason, arthroscopic shoulder stabilization has established itself as the gold standard for most types of shoulder instability with success rates of up to 90-95% [3,7,8,[11][12][13]17], and has been applied successfully in the treatment of contact athletes [16].…”

Restabilizations can also be performed successfully in arthroscopic technique by experienced surgeons.…”
