Description
Epner and colleagues present in 2026, as conference poster 217, outcomes from a multicenter database for arthroscopic repair of panlabral tears. These are shoulder socket rim tears wrapping 270 to 360 degrees around the joint. These huge tears are rare, inconsistently diagnosed, and feared for recurrent instability.
The series included 63 patients, median age twenty-three and overwhelmingly male, mostly contact and overhead athletes. At two years, median shoulder scores sat in the excellent range, with the standard shoulder score at ninety-five and instability-specific scores similarly high, all significantly improved over baseline. Three quarters returned to play, and over ninety percent of those returned at their previous level or higher. Recurrent instability struck about nineteen percent overall. Only two patients suffered a frank new dislocation and five needed further stabilization surgery, rates the authors note compare favorably with earlier series.
