RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the functional outcomes, recurrence rate, range of motion (ROM) and return to sports activities between arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) versus arthroscopic Bankart/SLAP repair (ABR/S) in limited contact-athletes with a type V SLAP lesion in the scenario of recurrent anterior shoulder instability (RASI). Our hypothesis was that there is no difference between the two treatments. METHODS: Two groups of 45 limited-contact athletes with type V SLAP lesion were created. Group 1 underwent an arthroscopic Bankart repair, while group 2 had an arthroscopic Bankart/SLAP repair. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years. The WOSI and ASES scores were used to assess primary functional outcomes. Recurrence rate, ROM and return to sport were also evaluated. RESULTS: Significant differences were reported in the WOSI and ASES scores pre- and post-operatively in each group. There were no significant differences between the two groups (P = 0.78 and 0.43). We reported 4 recurrences (8.8 %) in group 1 and 5 (11.1 %) in group 2, with no difference between them (P = 0.62). There were no significant differences between the range of motion of each of the groups as well as between them. More than 90% of the athletes in both groups returned to their previous sporting activities. CONCLUSIONS: Limited-contact athletes with RASI who have a type V SLAP lesion as their primary diagnosis can be treated using either ABR or ABR/S with equal efficacy. Both treatment alternatives preserve athlete's function, stability, ROM and return to sport.

INTRODUCTION: SLAP injuries are common in athletes but there is no consensus on different aspects such as pathophysiology and treatment options. Currently, the main controversy in the treatment of SLAP II injuries is deciding whether to make a repair or tenodesis. Clinical outcomes have varied according to the patients' age, sports, or work activity. This review aims to present the evidence at points of contention regarding pathophysiology, treatment options, outcomes, return to activities, and complications of type II SLAP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The relevant literature on SLAP injuries and their treatment options and results were identified from PubMed and a narrative review was performed. RESULTS: Repairing SLAP II injuries seems to show better outcomes in younger patients and athletes who perform overhead movements, while tenodesis (in its various technical options) yields better outcomes in older patients, both as a single injury or associated with other pathologies such as rotator cuff injury or tenosynovitis. On the other hand, there currently seems to be a trend of increasing the indication of tenodesis even in underage patients and athletes, given that there are reports of fewer re-operations and a faster recovery. CONCLUSION: The evidence is unclear as to which factors influence the failure to achieve optimal outcomes even in cases with anatomical repairs. Studies with a high level of evidence including different variables are necessary to define when to repair, perform tenodesis, and what surgical technique to use for both options.

La fijación de luxaciones acromioclaviculares de alto grado con métodos de cerclaje coracoclavicular exige una manipulación cuidadosa del instrumental y de los dispositivos de fijación como suturas o injertos a nivel subcoracoideo. La estrecha relación de la apófisis coracoides con el plexo braquial y la arteria axilar hace que esta sea una zona riesgosa y técnicamente demandante durante la cirugía. Para esta instancia, se han desarrollado dispositivos específicos, pero pueden ser costosos y poco disponibles. Se presenta una técnica manual, reproducible, segura y sencilla, que evita el uso de dispositivos adicionales para realizar cerclaje coracoclavicular en fijación o reconstrucción acromioclavicular.
Stabilization of high-grade acromioclavicular dislocations with coracoclavicular cerclage methods requires careful manipulation of instruments and fixation devices when approaching the coracoid process. This is risky and technically challenging surgical area due to the close relationship with the brachial plexus and the axillary artery. Specific devices have been developed for this instance, but they can be expensive and rarely available. A reproducible, safe and simple manual technique is presented, which avoids the use of additional devices to perform coracoclavicular cerclage in acromioclavicular fixation or reconstruction.

Las luxaciones acromioclaviculares son lesiones frecuentes del hombro en jóvenes y deportistas. Luego de tres semanas del trauma inicial, las estructuras ligamentarias tienen un pobre potencial biológico de cicatrización. Por este motivo, en los casos en los que no se diagnostica oportunamente y/o el tratamiento conservador no es exitoso, debe enfrentarse esta dificultad con una técnica de reconstrucción ligamentaria. Para ello, el uso de injertos, además de optimizar la estabilidad mecánica de la reducción de la luxación, mejora la capacidad biológica de cicatrización. Sin embargo, hasta el momento no existe una técnica estandarizada ni un patrón de oro para el tratamiento quirúrgico reconstructivo de las luxaciones crónicas acromioclaviculares. Se presenta una síntesis de la literatura más reciente y disponible sobre el uso de diferentes tipos de injertos en reconstrucción de luxación acromioclavicular. Nivel de Evidencia: V
Acromioclavicular dislocations are common shoulder injuries in young people and athletes. After three weeks of the initial trauma, the ligament structures have a poor biological healing potential. For this reason, in cases of late diagnosis or unsuccessful conservative management, this difficulty must be addressed with a ligament reconstruction technique. The use of grafts, in addition to optimizing the mechanical stability of the reduction, improves the biological healing capacity. However, to date there is no gold standard among the many techniques described for reconstructive surgical treatment of chronic acromioclavicular dislocations. A synthesis of the most recent literature available on the use of different types of grafts in reconstruction of acromioclavicular dislocation is presented. Level of Evidence: V

OBJETIVO:Comparar el promedio de curva de presión de contacto y el porcentaje de presión de contacto residual final en la interfase tendón-huella de una reparación transósea (TO) realizada con nudos cruzados y una configuración Mason-Allen modificada (MAM). MÉTODOS: Se utilizaron ocho hombros de cordero para simular una rotura de manguito rotador. Se midió la presión con un sensor digital. Se registró la presión basal durante la aplicación de carga cíclica y al final de la intervención. Se compararon dos reparaciones: dos túneles TOs con nudos cruzados (TOCs) (n » 4) y dos puntos MAMs (n » 4) utilizando suturas MaxBraid #2 (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, EEUU). Se realizaron 1.000 ciclos, con una frecuencia de 2 Hz y una carga de 30 N. Se utilizó el test de t de Student, y se consideraron significativos valores de p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: El promedio de curva de presión de contacto en las piezas que fueron reparadas con suturas TOCs fue de 86,01 8,43%, mientras que con MAM fue de 73,28 12,01% (p < 0,0004). El promedio del porcentaje residual al final del ciclado fue de 71,57% para suturas TOCs y de 51,19% para MAM (p < 0,05). CONCLUSION: La reparación TOC presenta mayor promedio de curva de presión de contacto y mayor porcentaje de presión de contacto residual final en la interfase tendón-huella que la reparación con sutura MAM luego de carga cíclica estandarizada, lo que podría traducirse en una mejor cicatrización del tendón. NIVEL DE EVIDENCIA: Estudio de ciencia básica.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the average contact pressure curve and the percentage of final residual contact pressure at the tendon-footprint interphase of a transosseous (TO) repair performed with crossover sutures or a modified Mason-Allen (MMA) configuration. METHODS: Eight lamb shoulders were used to simulate a rotator cuff tear. The pressure was measured with a digital sensor. The baseline pressure was recorded during the application of the cyclic load and at the end of the intervention. Two repairs were compared: 2 crossover TO (CTO) sutures (n » 4) and 2 MMA sutures MMA (n » 4), using MaxBraid #2 (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, US) sutures. A thousand cycles were performed, with a frequency of 2 Hz and a 30-N load. The Student t-test was used, and significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: The average contact pressure curve was of 86.01 8.43% for parts repaired with CTO sutures, and of 73.28 12.01% for those repaired with MMA sutures (p < 0.0004). The mean residual percentage at the end of cycling was of 71.57% for CTO sutures, and of 51.19% for MMA sutures (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The CTO repair shows a higher average contact pressure curve and a higher percentage of final residual contact pressure at the tendon-footprint interphase than the MMA suture repair after standardized cyclic loading, potentially resulting in improved tendon healing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Basic Science Study.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los resultados de la reparación de lesiones SLAP en pacientes con compensación laboral son peores que en la población general. El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar la evolución postquirúrgica de una serie de pacientes laborales, operados por SLAP, con dos técnicas diferentes: reparación y tenodesis, y comparar dos técnicas de tenodesis. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se evaluaron retrospectivamente 58 pacientes, con un seguimiento promedio de 18 meses, y edad media de 34 años. El diagnóstico principal en todos los casos fue SLAP. Se formaron dos grupos de tratamiento según la edad y lesiones asociadas: Grupo A- Reparación, 17 casos; Grupo B- Tenodesis, 41 casos. En el grupo B se realizaron dos técnicas: tenodesis suprapectoral artroscópica (23 casos) y subpectoral abierta (18 casos). Se analiza aquí la evolución de ambos grupos de pacientes, y se comparan los resultados de las dos técnicas de tenodesis realizadas. Se utilizó SST, UCLA y Satisfacción personal para evaluar los resultados. RESULTADOS: Los valores medios de SST fueron de 74.5% y 77,8%, y los de UCLA 25.2 y 26.9 puntos para los grupos A y B respectivamente. El porcentaje de pacientes con UCLA satisfactorio fue de 47% en el grupo A y 66% en el grupo B. El porcentaje de pacientes satisfechos con el tratamiento recibido fue: 65% en el grupo reparación y 93% en el grupo tenodesis. La comparación de los resultados de ambas técnicas de tenodesis no encontró diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los subgrupos. CONCLUSIÓN: El tratamiento quirúrgico de las lesiones SLAP en pacientes con compensación laboral arrojó bajos resultados en los scores de SST y UCLA en esta serie. Hubo mayor porcentaje de pacientes satisfechos en el grupo tenodesis. No encontramos diferencias entre la tenodesis artroscópica y la subpectoral. Tipo de estudio: Serie de casos. Nivel de evidencia: IV.
INTRODUCTION: SLAP lesions in worker´s compensation patients yield worse results than in the general population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative evolution of a series of worker´s compensation patients operated for SLAP lesions, with two different techniques: repair and tenodesis, and to compare two different types of tenodesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 58 patients were retrospectively evaluated with an average follow-up of 18 months, average age of 34 years. The primary diagnosis in all cases was SLAP. Two treatment groups were formed according to age and associated injuries: Group A Repair, 17 cases; Group B Tenodesis, 41 cases. Group B was subdivided in Arthroscopic tenodesis (23 cases) and Open subpectoral tenodesis (18 cases). SST, UCLA scores and patient´s satisfaction were used to assess the results of groups A and B. Besides, both groups of tenodesis were compared. RESULTS: SST mean values were 74.5% and 77.8%, and UCLA mean values were 25.2 and 26.9 points respectively for groups A and B. The percentage of patients with satisfactory UCLA was 47% in the Repair group and 66% in the Tenodesis group. The percentage of patients satisfied with the treatment was 65% in the Repair group and 93% in the Tenodesis group. Comparing results of both types of tenodesis found not statistically significant differences between subgroups. CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment of SLAP lesions in worker´s compensation patients showed low results in SST and UCLA scores in this series. There was a higher percentage of satisfied patients in the tenodesis group. We found no differences between arthroscopic and subpectoral tenodesis. Type Study: Case series. Level of Evidence: IV.
