Abstract
PURPOSE: Unrecognized posterior shoulder dislocation with a concomitant humeral head fracture affects joint function and no consensus exists regarding treatment. The present study analyses clinical and radiographic outcomes of a novel arthroscopic technique for reducing chronic locked posterior shoulder dislocation associated with subscapularis remplissage. METHODS: The study comprises a retrospective analysis of consecutive chronic posterior locked shoulders (CPLS) with minimum 2-years follow-up of patients who had undergone McLaughlin technique arthroscopic modification for the treatment of CPLS with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. Active range of motion (ROM), Western Ontario (WOSI) and Constant Score (CS), were evaluated pre- and postoperatively. Plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were collected pre- and post-operatively, recording bone defect, osteoarthritis, cuff integrity/fatty infiltration, and the grade of filling of the reverse Hill-Sachs. RESULTS: Twelve male patients with a mean follow-up of 37.3 months ± 10.5 (range, 24-58) were included. Mean WOSI and CS scores improved from 41 to 92 and 28 to 94 points, respectively. ROM measurements all had significantly increased at final follow-up, with no significant differences in arm rotation. No defects were left unfilled at final MRI examination. CONCLUSION: The results of this uncontrolled study with a limited number of patients confirm that arthroscopic reduction and subscapularis remplissage is a highly effective and satisfactory treatment method resulting in no shoulder rotation deficits. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.
