Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses the prevalence and factors associated with Haggle lesions in patients with shoulder instability. Haggle lesions are a less common but important pathology that can lead to continued shoulder dislocations if left untreated. The presenter and their team conducted a study using data from the Moon Shoulder Group, analyzing patients who underwent primary surgical treatment for anterior shoulder instability. They found that the prevalence of Haggle lesions in their cohort was 2.3%, lower than previously reported. The presence of a Bancart or Hillstax lesion on preoperative MRI was associated with a reduced likelihood of a Haggle lesion being present. Patients with Haggle lesions were less likely to undergo arthroscopic procedures and more likely to require open procedures. The study's findings can assist surgeons in diagnosing Haggle lesions and determining appropriate surgical procedures for patients with shoulder instability. The limitations of the study include a small number of patients with Haggle lesions and limited access to certain clinical data.
