Background: Although there is a low incidence of shoulder instability in women, this population is still representative and is often associated with lower rates of return to sports. Few studies have evaluated the results of the Latarjet procedure in this population.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of female athletes who underwent the Latarjet procedure between 2013 and 2018. The participants were followed up for 3 years. The primary outcomes of the study included the visual analog scale for pain; range of motion: active elevation, passive elevation, active external rotation, and passive external rotation. The functional scores were as follows: American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, and the Athletic Shoulder Outcome Rating Scale. Additional data were collected regarding return to sport, complication rates, and patient satisfaction.

Results: Thirteen female athletes who practice Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Handball, Judo, or Weight training were evaluated. There was a significant reduction in the mean range of motion for all movements at 4 weeks after surgery. Patients recovered a range of motion similar to the preoperative values after 6 months. The mean visual analog scale reached 6.39 at the first week after surgery and decreased to values below preop at 8 weeks. The mean preoperative Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index was 126.77 (min 118; max 135), and at the end of follow-up, the WOSI index was 45.08 (min 37; max 65;  < .05). The mean preoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score was 41.61 (min 35; max 46), and at the end of follow-up, the mean ASES score was 84.46 (min 80; max 90;  < .05). The mean Athletic Shoulder Outcome Rating Scale in the preoperative period was 39.38 (min 37; max 42), and at the end of follow-up, the mean ASORS score was 83.15 (min 77; max 85;  < .05). The rate of return to sports was 92.3%, and 84.6% of patients were satisfied with the surgery. The aesthetic satisfaction rate was 76.9%. The complication rate was 15.4% (1 screw failure and 1 dislocation recurrence).

Conclusion: Latarjet surgery in female athletes showed high rates of return to sports and improved functional scores without impairing range of motion after the procedure. Recurrence and complication rates were low. In addition, treatment was associated with improved functionality and patient satisfaction.

Institute of Health Sciences, Pamukkale University, University Street, No: 11, 20160, Denizli, Turkey. Electronic address:

The relationship between patient-reported outcome measures and objective measures is important for understanding patient expectations. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of each section of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) to objective measurements in patients with distal radius fracture (DRF). Eighty-four patients who were treated operatively or non-operatively for DRF were included. Read More

On-demand anchoring of wireless soft miniature robots on soft surfaces.

Ren Hao Soon Ziyu Ren Wenqi Hu Ugur Bozuyuk Erdost Yildiz Meng Li Metin Sitti

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022 Aug 15;119(34):e2207767119. Epub 2022 Aug 15.

Untethered soft miniature robots capable of accessing hard-to-reach regions can enable new, disruptive, and minimally invasive medical procedures. However, once the control input is removed, these robots easily move from their target location because of the dynamic motion of body tissues or fluids, thereby restricting their use in many long-term medical applications. To overcome this, we propose a wireless spring-preloaded barbed needle release mechanism, which can provide up to 1. Read More

Purpose: This study aimed to retrospectively investigate (1) the reproducibility of gap measurements by manual stress using the Z-shaped retractor depending on the surgeon's experience with this maneuver and (2) the consistency of the gap distraction force produced by manual stress throughout the range of motion (ROM) in the robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It was hypothesized that the joint gap produced by manual stress is not reproducible depending on the surgeon's experience, and the distraction force applied by manual stress throughout the ROM is not constant.

Methods: Medial and lateral joint gaps were obtained throughout the ROM by manual stress or a tensioner by two surgeons with different levels of experience in robotic-assisted TKA. Read More

Purpose: Cemented fixation remains the gold standard in total knee arthroplasty. With an increasing number of younger patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and a growing patient population demanding higher physical activity, a rising interest in discussion of cementless fixation is notable. The current scientific literature does not give a clear recommendation for or against uncemented total knee arthroplasty. Read More

The motion of small objects in acoustophoresis depends on the acoustic radiation force and torque. These are nonlinear phenomena originating from wave scattering, and consist of primary and secondary components. The primary radiation force is the force acting on an object due to the incident field, in the absence of other objects. Read More
