Algorithm for Management of Primary & Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability; Open treatment of clavicle fractures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Albert Lynn from the University of Pittsburgh discusses his algorithm for managing shoulder instability and labral fractures. He emphasizes the importance of immediate surgery for high-risk patients following dislocations to prevent recurrence. Lynn highlights the evolving understanding of glenohumeral bone loss thresholds and stresses the significance of assessing bone loss in treatment decisions. He also delves into revision surgeries for failed procedures, particularly for shoulder stability. Lynn touches on the shifting trends in operative management of mid-shaft clavicle fractures and the considerations for surgical versus non-operative approaches. He concludes by advocating for better patient selection and the use of dual plating for improved outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
