Feasibility of the SINEX program for patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability.

ABSTRACT: Background:An optimal treatment for traumatic anterior shoulder instability (TASI) remains to be identified. A shoulder instability neuromuscular exercise (SINEX) program has been designed for patients with TASI, but has not yet been tested in patients eligible for surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the feasibility and safety of the SINEX program for patients diagnosed with TASI and eligible for surgery. Methods:A feasibility study with an experimental, longitudinal design using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. A total of seven participants underwent the SINEX program, a 12-week exercise program including physiotherapist-supervised sessions. Feasibility data on recruitment, retention, compliance, acceptability and safety was collected through observation and individual semi-structured interviews. Clinical tests and self-report questionnaires were completed at baseline and 12 weeks follow-up. Clinical assessments included apprehension and relocation tests, shoulder joint position sense (SJPS), shoulder sensorimotor control measured by center of pressure path length (COPL) on a force platform, isometric strength measured by Constant Score-Isometric Maximal Voluntary Contraction (CS-iMVC), self-report questionnaires including Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Global Perceived Effect questionnaire (GPE). Results:With one participant recruited every 2 weeks, the recruitment rate was 50% lower than expected. Two of seven participants achieved compliance, defined as at least 66% completion of the scheduled home exercises and at least 50% attendance for the physiotherapist supervised sessions. Barriers for successful compliance were (1) inability to take along exercise equipment when travelling, (2) sick leave, (3) holidays and (4) lack of time/busy days. Four adverse events occurred, one of which was related to the intervention (patellar redislocation). All participants expressed satisfaction with the intervention and felt safe during the exercises. All participants improved in the GPE. Change greater than minimal detectable change (MDC) was reported in four participants in some of the outcome assessments. One of the seven participants declined surgery. Conclusion:Further assessment is required on several areas before performing an RCT evaluating the efficacy of the SINEX program for patients with TASI considered eligible for surgery. No adverse events suggest that the program is safe, but patients with general hypermobility may need additional adjustments to prevent adverse events in other areas of the body. Trial registration:ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04152304, retrospectively registered.

Project description:BackgroundA paucity of literature exists on the outcomes after Latarjet for anterior shoulder instability in patients with seizure disorders (SDs). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability in patients with SDs.MethodsA retrospective review of patients undergoing Latarjet from 2013 to 2017 for anterior shoulder instability with minimum 2 years of clinical follow-up was performed. Patients were divided into two groups: patients diagnosed with SD, and patients without a history of seizure (control). Demographics, indications, SD details, and postoperative outcomes were collected. The incidence of complications, recurrent instability, revision surgery, and repeat seizure(s) were also examined.ResultsA total of 53 patients were identified, including 10 shoulders in 9 patients with an SD (88.9% male; mean age, 29.2 years [range, 20-37]), and 44 shoulders in 44 non-SD patients (86.4% male; mean age, 30.3 years [range, 18-52]). The mean follow-up time was 3.4 (range, 2.2-4.8) and 3.8 (range, 2.1-5.6) years in the SD and control group, respectively. During the follow-up period, 4 of 9 (44.4%) patients with an SD (50% shoulders) had a recurrent seizure postoperatively. Of those 4 patients, three sustained a recurrent dislocation of the operative shoulder(s) resulting from a postoperative seizure, including one who dislocated bilateral shoulders from a single seizure event after bilateral Latarjet procedures. There was no recurrent instability in patients who did not sustain a seizure in the postoperative period. Having a seizure in the postoperative period significantly increased the risk of recurrent dislocation (OR = 39.9, P = 0.04).ConclusionsLatarjet is a successful operation for recurrent anterior shoulder instability in patients without an SD. While it can still be successful in patients with SD, adequate control of seizures postoperatively is paramount to prevent recurrent instability episodes. Patients with an SD can be advised that if their seizures can remain controlled, they have a high likelihood of clinical success equal to that of patients without an SD.

Project description:BackgroundHumeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesions are an uncommon cause of anterior glenohumeral instability and may occur in isolation or combination with other pathologies. As HAGL lesions are difficult to detect via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and arthroscopy, they can remain unrecognized and result in continued glenohumeral instability.PurposeTo compare patients with anterior shoulder instability from a large multicenter cohort with and without a diagnosis of a HAGL lesion and identify preoperative physical examination findings, patient-reported outcomes, imaging findings, and surgical management trends associated with HAGL lesions.Study designCross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.MethodsPatients with anterior glenohumeral instability who underwent surgical management between 2012 and 2020 at 11 orthopaedic centers were enrolled. Patients with HAGL lesions identified intraoperatively were compared with patients without HAGL lesions. Preoperative characteristics, physical examinations, imaging findings, intraoperative findings, and surgical procedures were collected. The Student t test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Fisher exact test, and chi-square test were used to compare groups.ResultsA total of 21 HAGL lesions were identified in 915 (2.3%) patients; approximately one-third (28.6%) of all lesions were visualized intraoperatively but not identified on preoperative MRI. Baseline characteristics did not differ between study cohorts. Compared with non-HAGL patients, HAGL patients were less likely to have a Hill-Sachs lesion (54.7% vs 28.6%; P = .03) or an anterior labral tear (87.2% vs 66.7%; P = .01) on preoperative MRI and demonstrated increased external rotation when their affected arm was positioned at 90° of abduction (85° vs 90°; P = .03). Additionally, HAGL lesions were independently associated with an increased risk of undergoing an open stabilization surgery (odds ratio, 74.6 [95% CI, 25.2-221.1]; P < .001).ConclusionApproximately one-third of HAGL lesions were missed on preoperative MRI. HAGL patients were less likely to exhibit preoperative imaging findings associated with anterior shoulder instability, such as Hill-Sachs lesions or anterior labral pathology. These patients underwent open procedures more frequently than patients without HAGL lesions.

Project description:BackgroundAnterior shoulder dislocation is a common injury and may have considerable impact on shoulder-related quality of life (QoL). If not warranted for initial stabilising surgery, patients are mostly left with little to no post-traumatic rehabilitation. This may be due to lack of evidence-based exercise programmes. In similar, high-impact injuries (e.g. anterior cruciate ligament tears in the knee) neuromuscular exercise has shown large success in improving physical function and QoL. Thus, the objective of this trial is to compare a nonoperative neuromuscular exercise shoulder programme with standard care in patients with traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations (TASD).Methods/designRandomised, assessor-blinded, controlled, multicentre trial. Eighty patients with a TASD will be recruited from three orthopaedic departments in Denmark. Patients with primary or recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations due to at least one traumatic event will be randomised to 12 weeks of either a standardised, individualised or physiotherapist-supervised neuromuscular shoulder exercise programme or standard care (self-managed shoulder exercise programme). Patients will be stratified according to injury status (primary or recurrent). Primary outcome will be change from baseline to 12 weeks in the patient-reported QoL outcome questionnaire, the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI).DiscussionThis trial will be the first study to compare the efficacy and safety of two different nonoperative exercise treatment strategies for patients with TASD. Moreover, this is also the first study to investigate nonoperative treatment effects in patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations. Lastly, this study will add knowledge to the shared decision-making process of treatment strategies for clinical practice.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02371928 .
