Effect of Swim Training on the Physical Characteristics of Competitive Adolescent Swimmers
Conclusion: Because of their training load, swimmers experience a decrease in subacromial space distance and an increase in forward shoulder posture over the course of 12 weeks of training, potentially making these athletes more vulnerable to the development of shoulder pain and injury.

Evaluation of Repair Tension in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Does It Really Matter to the Integrity of the Rotator Cuff?
Conclusion: Our intraoperative model for the estimation of rotator cuff repair tension showed an inverse correlation of repair tension with healing at the repair site, suggesting that complete healing is less likely with high-tension repairs. A significant association was observed on MRI between a high level of FD of the infraspinatus and repaired tendon integrity. (Source: The American Journal of Sports Medicine)

T1{rho} Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Assess Cartilage Damage After Primary Shoulder Dislocation
Conclusion: Humeral head cartilage sustained greater damage than glenoid cartilage in primary dislocation. T1 values were higher in glenohumeral zones associated with Bankart and Hill-Sachs lesions. Widespread initial cartilage damage may predispose patients to glenohumeral arthropathy. (Source: The American Journal of Sports Medicine)

Biomechanical Evaluation of Glenoid Version and Dislocation Direction on the Influence of Anterior Shoulder Instability and Development of Hill-Sachs Lesions
Conclusion: Glenoid version has a direct effect on the force required for a dislocation. An anterior-inferior dislocation direction requires less energy for a dislocation and results in a lower risk of the development of a Hill-Sachs lesion than a direct anterior dislocation direction. Clinical Relevance: Consideration should be given to glenoid version when choosing a surgical treatment option for anterior shoulder instability. (Source: The American Journal of Sports Medicine)

What Is the Critical Value of Glenoid Bone Loss at Which Soft Tissue Bankart Repair Does Not Restore Glenohumeral Translation, Restricts Range of Motion, and Leads to Abnormal Humeral Head Position?
Conclusion: Glenoid defects of 15% or more of the largest anteroposterior glenoid width should be considered the critical bone loss amount at which soft tissue repair cannot restore glenohumeral translation, restricts rotational range of motion, and leads to abnormal humeral head position. Clinical Relevance: The critical level of anterior glenoid bone loss at which bony restorations should be considered is closer to 15% of the largest anteroposterior width of glenoid for defects perpendicular to the superoinferior glenoid axis, which is lower than the commonly accepted threshold of 20% to 25%.

The J-Shaped Bone Graft for Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction: A 10-Year Clinical Follow-up and Computed Tomography-Osteoabsorptiometry Study
Conclusion: The surgical treatment of recurrent shoulder instability with a significant bony Bankart lesion using the J-shaped bone graft procedure provided excellent long-term results. This study lends evidence to support the capability of the J-shaped bone graft procedure to restore the normal glenoid shape due to physiological remodeling processes.

Diagnosis of Engaging Bipolar Bone Defects in the Shoulder Using 2-Dimensional Computed Tomography: A Cadaveric Study
Conclusion/Clinical Relevance: Bipolar lesions at risk for engagement can be identified accurately using an ABER CT scan or by performing 2-dimensional measurements of the glenoid defect width and IAAA on conventional CT multiplane reformats. This information will be useful for surgical planning in the setting of bipolar bone defects before shoulder stabilization. (Source: The American Journal of Sports Medicine)
