Article Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a commonly used radiological technique for diagnosing rotator cuff and shoulder pathologies. Orthopedists usually evaluate the MRI findings themselves.

A 2-year minimum follow-up period has generally been preferred in orthopaedic studies. This minimum standard aids comparisons across the literature and helps to ensure methodological rigor. However, in some situations these minimum durations are not required to answer specific research questions and strictly enforcing these requirements poses unnecessary barriers to research by adding cost and complexity, increasing the risk of loss to follow-up, and potentially restricting early dissemination of clinically important findings.

A 48-year-old man with a superior labral tear and medical history including hemidiaphragmatic paresis, obstructive sleep apnea, vocal cord paresis, and glottic narrowing, underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis. Reduction in respiratory function presented anesthetic management challenges with general anesthesia or an interscalene brachial plexus block. Instead, ultrasound guidance was used to deliver a selective upper-trunk block with 1 % lidocaine and an axillary nerve block with 0.

Rotator cuff injuries are common and procedures of repair have evolved from open techniques to minimally invasive and arthroscopic ones. Despite these advances, the biomechanics, biology, and value of transosseous repairs remain superior, leading to the development of innovative devices that enable the utilization of this technique without the use of anchors, improving both the efficiency and safety of the procedure. This article reviews the latest advances in transosseous rotator cuff repair, highlighting its biomechanical advantages, as well as the factors that enhance recovery and offer more consistent long-term outcomes.

» Posterior shoulder instability (PSI) constitutes approximately 10% of all shoulder instability cases and is prevalent among contact sport athletes because of recurrent blunt trauma to the shoulder.» PSI presents as persistent pain and can be diagnosed using clinical tests such as the Kim test and the Jerk test.» Surgical intervention is recommended for athletes who have exhausted nonoperative treatment.

» Kim's lesion of the shoulder is characterized by incomplete tearing of the junction between the posteroinferior labrum and the glenoid, with the superficial labral tissue remaining intact, and generally requires arthroscopic evaluation for accurate confirmation.» Kim's lesion represents an under-reported subtype of posterior labral injury and a source of activity-related posterior shoulder discomfort and instability.» Kim's lesions are frequently observed in young, active individuals involved in overhead and contact sports, often resulting from traumatic mechanisms with the shoulder in flexion and adduction, as well as from repetitive microtrauma and overuse.
