  In the United States, the use of total shoulder arthroplasty has grown significantly over the past decade, leading to an increased need for revision total shoulder arthroplasty. The most common causes for revision include instability, rotator cuff deficiency, infection, fractures, and component loosening. Although revisions are sometimes unavoidable, thoughtful preoperative planning and proper implant positioning, among other mitigation strategies, can help reduce this risk.

  The ulnar nerve’s unique anatomy makes it vulnerable to complex elbow dislocations. Depending on the nature of the injury, the clinical treatment and outcomes related to the nerve may vary. Unfortunately, the current literature provides limited and fragmented information on managing the ulnar nerve and the incidence of neuropathy in complex elbow dislocations. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of ulnar nerve pain and its relationship with transposition.

  Isolated posterior shoulder instability accounts for approximately 10% of shoulder instability cases. Patients may present after an acute trauma or with insidious onset and associated posterior shoulder pain. Knotless and all-suture anchor devices have become increasing popular and are often used in arthroscopic shoulder instability cases to avoid knot stacks and allow for the ability to re-tension the fixation. This technical note describes our technique for 2-portal posterior labral repair using knotless all-suture anchors with the patient in the lateral decubitus position.
