Multiple clinical and radiologic risk factors for recurrent instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair have been described. Humeral bone loss has gained more recent attention, particularly with respect to “off-track� lesions and increased rates of recurrent instability and revision surgery.

Recently, a polypropylene mesh has been introduced and reported to improve clinical outcomes after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) using a fascia lata autograft (FLA). However, mesh-related events such as a foreign body response may trigger inflammation, which might affect graft healing and remodeling.

Injury of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) has become increasingly common, particularly in overhead athletes. There is no consensus on management of the ulnar nerve in UCL reconstruction (UCLR) in patients with preoperative ulnar nerve symptoms, as literature supports both not decompressing the nerve as well as ulnar nerve transposition (UNT).

Baseball pitchers employ various contralateral trunk tilt (CTT) positions when pitching depending on if they have an overhand, three-quarter, or sidearm delivery. There are no known studies that have examined how pitching biomechanics are significantly different in professional pitchers with varying amounts of CTT, which may provide insight into shoulder and elbow injury risk among pitchers with different CTT.

Different measures are used to describe relevant anatomic variations that can result in patellofemoral instability and disorders. Knee version, the relative rotational alignment between the femur and tibia in the axial plane at the level of the knee, may have a decisive effect on the kinematics of the patellofemoral joint. However, data regarding the values of knee version are currently lacking.

Lesions of the articular cartilage, with or without involvement of the subchondral bone, are a common cause of pain and dysfunction in the knee. Although several treatment options have been developed, the majority of previous clinical trials examined patients with isolated or focal midsized defects, which rarely represent the condition found in the general population. Rather, cartilage lesions are often associated with the presence of mild to moderate osteoarthritic changes.

Anterior tibial subluxation (ATS) of the lateral compartment entails a pathological tibiofemoral alignment in knees with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Causes of increased ATS after an acute ACL injury are not clear, but soft tissue abnormalities and bony variations of the knee are potential causes.

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) reduces the load distribution of the medial compartment by modifying leg alignment. Knee adduction moment (KAM), a surrogate measure of dynamic loading in the knee joint, decreases after HTO. However, leg alignment does not fully account for KAM.

Transsyndesmotic fixation with suture buttons (SBs), posterior malleolar fixation with screws, and anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) augmentation using suture tape (ST) have all been suggested as potential treatments in the setting of a posterior malleolar fracture (PMF). However, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment for PMFs.

Knee kinematic parameters during a drop vertical jump (DVJ) have been demonstrated to be associated with increased risk of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, standard motion analysis systems are not practical for routine screening. Affordable and practical motion sensor alternatives exist but require further validation in the context of ACL injury risk assessment.

The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) expresses both the extent of the improvement and the value that patients place on it. MCID use is becoming increasingly widespread to understand the clinical efficacy of a given treatment, define guidelines for clinical practice, and properly interpret trial results. However, there is still large heterogeneity in the different calculation methods.
