Modification of the Patte rotator cuff tear classification by using 2 coronal cuts to judge severity of retraction can help differentiate repairable from irreparable rotator cuff tears and allow for more accurate tear pattern identification.

Anterior shoulder instability is common in young athletes. Male individuals younger than 20 years who are involved in contact sports are at particular risk of injury and recurrence. Essential imaging includes radiography and magnetic resonance imaging in all patients, with 3-dimensional computed tomography being helpful to evaluate glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs lesions. ⋯ Coracoid transfer or the Latarjet procedure is suggested in patients with bone loss greater than 20%. Bone grafting for glenoid bone loss using autograft or allograft, such as distal tibial allograft, is recommended in patients with a failed Latarjet procedure or those with significant bone loss. Hill-Sachs lesion grafting may also be beneficial in those with large lesions that engage.

To report mid-term outcomes of patients who underwent endoscopic gluteus medius (GM) repair with arthroscopic labral treatment and to compare them with a control cohort of patients who underwent arthroscopic labral treatment without an endoscopic GM repair. ⋯ III, retrospective comparative study.

To determine the limitations of randomized sham surgery-controlled trials in orthopaedic sports medicine and fidelity of the trials' conclusions. ⋯ Level II Systematic Review of Level II studies.

(1) To report minimum 2-year patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores of primary circumferential acetabular labral reconstruction using anterior tibialis allograft and the knotless pull-through technique in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and irreparable labral tears and (2) to compare these PROs with a matched-pair primary labral repair group. ⋯ Level III, case-control study.
