[Shoulder instability].

The importance of the labrum and glenohumeral ligament complex for the stability of the shoulder joint has been known since the beginning of this century. Shoulder instability may be classified into two large groups. TUBS, characterized by Traumatic, Unidirectional instability and Bankart lesion which often requires Surgery. The second group AMBRI, is characterized by Atraumatic, Multidirectional, Bilateral instability that often responds to Rehabilitation, but in case of surgery Inferior capsular shift is indicated. The high recurrence rate after primary traumatic anterior dislocation in young adults has caused an ongoing discussion about the indications for primary surgery. Anatomical reconstruction focusing on the pathoanatomy is recommended due to better results and a lower complication rate as compared to non-anatomical reconstruction that alters the normal anatomy and kinematics. The recurrence rate after arthroscopic Bankart repair is still generally higher than after open surgery but may be improved by better patient selection.

[Ségond fracture in acute knee injuries].

Two patients with a lateral tibia avulsion fracture (Ségond fracture) are presented. The correlation between the Ségond racture and rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is pointed out, as well as the fact that patients with Ségond fracture and rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament often have other injuries such as meniscus lesions and lesion of the medial collateral ligament.

Early arthroscopic treatment of primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation. A follow-up study.

This study evaluates the results of early arthroscopic Bankart repair in patients with primary traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder. The patients' age range was 17-34 years. Arthroscopic Bankart repair was performed within 12 days after the dislocation. First follow-up was at 18 months. According to Rowe's score, 11 patients (73%) were excellent, 3 (20%) were good and 1 (7%) was poor. The median external rotation deficit was 4 degrees in the adducted position. At a second follow-up at 34 months, two patients had redislocated. Both of these patients had severe generalized joint laxity. Another patient reported frequent subluxations. We conclude that in young patients with primary anterior traumatic shoulder dislocation, early arthroscopic Bankart repair implies a low recurrence rate and restores shoulder function to normal. Generalized joint laxity could indicate an increased risk for recurrent dislocation.

Isolated popliteus muscle rupture in polo players.

Isolated rupture of the popliteus muscle seems to be extremely rare, with only two cases described in the English literature. We present two cases of magnetic resonance imaging-verified isolated rupture of the popliteus muscle in polo players with the same injury mechanism-external rotation trauma on a flexed knee. Functional testing of the popliteus muscle in the figure of four position was positive in both cases. Full recovery was observed after 6 weeks of physiotherapy.

Late follow-up results of operative ankle arthroscopy in patients under local anaesthesia.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate our long-term results of operative ankle arthroscopy in local anaesthesia, without tourniquet and antibiotic prophylaxis, and to see whether we could produce the same results other investigators had published using general anaesthesia. Between 1987 and 1992, 51 operative ankle arthroscopies were performed--all as out-patient procedures. Thirty-six patients had local anaesthesia, 7 had general anaesthesia, one had spinal anaesthesia and one had epidural anaesthesia. No prophylactic antibiotics were given. Indications for surgery were the same for patients who had local anaesthesia as for those who had the other types of anaesthesia. Nineteen patients had partial synovectomies, 8 had removals of osteophytes, 7 had debridements of osteochondral fractures, 6 had debridements of mild degenerative osteoarthritis, 3 had loose bodies and 2 had septic arthritis. After a mean of 3 years (range 1-8) the patients were sent a questionnaire. They were asked to rate activity level, pain, swelling, and limb stiffness on a four-grade scale pre- and postoperatively and to rate their total subjective improvement. They were also asked if they would undergo the same procedure again knowing the outcome of the procedure. Forty-five patients (88%) were available for follow-up. Thirty-four patients (76%) were improved, 10 remained unchanged, and one became worse after surgery. No correlation existed between preoperative symptom duration, sex, trauma, type of anaesthesia, postoperative diagnosis or type of surgical procedure. Minor complications occurred in 11% of patients. Eighty-four percent of the patients said they would undergo the same procedure again. The type of anaesthesia used did not influence this decision.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Injuries in badminton.

Though badminton is one of the most widely played sports in the world, it has received little sports medical interest. Based on the few existing studies on injuries in badminton, compared to other sports it is of relatively low risk and dominated by overuse injuries. The injury duration is relatively long, but only a few working days are lost. Anatomically, most injuries are localised to the foot and ankle. The single most frequent injuries are Achilles tendinitis and tennis elbow. Rupture of the Achilles tendon is a rare injury, which is typically seen in older recreational players. When the time of exposure is taken into account men are found to have a higher injury risk than women, and recreational players a higher injury risk than elite players. In contrast to most other sports the relative injury risk is higher during training than in competition. Based on suggested causes of injury and injury mechanisms, together with the known injury pattern in badminton the following preventive matters are suggested: (a) changes in the badminton shoe, towards a higher heel, with shock absorption and a stiffer anatomically fitting heel counter; (b) adjustment of the friction between the individual shoe-soles and playing surfaces; and (c) specific badminton training including stretching and strengthening of the triceps surae and the muscles involved in the internal and external rotation of the shoulder and elbow during the badminton strokes.

Epidemiology of injuries in Danish championship tennis.

During the outdoor tennis season of 1984 a prospective injury registration was done in 104 randomly chosen elite tennis players, of whom 86% could be followed. We found 46 injuries: an incidence of 2.3 injuries/player/1000 tennis hours. Men were more frequently injured than women. The prevalence was 0.3 injury/player. Upper extremity injuries were most frequent - 45.7% (21/46). Shoulder injuries were the single most frequent injury - 17% (8/46). The pathophysiology was overuse in 67% (28/42), strains in 14% (6/42), sprains in 17% (7/42), fractures in 2% (1/42), and blisters in 5% (2/42). Players using conventional rackets had more injuries to the upper extremity compared with players using mid/oversized rackets, though the difference was nonsignificant. The importance of impact forces from the tennis stroke in the mechanism of upper extremity injuries is discussed.

Cross-Sectional Studies

Epidemiology of badminton injuries.

In the badminton season 1983/1984, a prospective injury registration was done in 375 randomly chosen elite and recreational badminton players, of whom 81% could be followed. We found 257 injuries: an incidence of 2.9 injuries/player/1000 badminton hours. Men were more frequently injured than women. The prevalence was 0.3 injury per player. It was highest in men, and there was no difference between elite and recreational badminton players; 92% of the injured were playing with their injury. The pathophysiology was overuse in 74% (169/229), strains in 12% (28/229), sprains in 11% (26/229), and fractures in 1.5% (3/229). Possibilities for reducing the number of injuries and their severity are increased injury information to players and trainers and the introduction of stretching all involved muscle groups.
