Popis: Background: The purpose of this study is to present surgical outcomes after humeral head allograft augmentation and glenoid-based procedures in patients with active, uncontrolled seizure activity and anterior shoulder instability. Methods: A retrospective review of a surgical database for patients with active seizure disorder and with recurrent shoulder instability managed with humeral head augmentation was performed. All patients underwent surgical intervention. Postoperative outcomes including Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, Simple Shoulder Test, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons questionnaire, and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) were recorded at a minimum of 2 years. We hypothesized that appropriate management of the bony defects in these bipolar injuries would result in low recurrence and satisfactory outcomes. Results: Ten patients including 8 males and 2 females (15 shoulders) with active seizure-related shoulder instability underwent surgical intervention including allograft bone grafting of the Hill-Sachs lesion for anterior shoulder instability. The average age was 27 years. All patients reported recurrent seizures postoperatively, but only one sustained a shoulder dislocation after surgery that was unrelated to seizure activity.Self-reported satisfaction was “much better” or “better” in 92% of shoulders. Average outcome scores were as follows: American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score = 67 (33-100), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index = 32.5 (0-83), Simple Shoulder Test = 9.4 (5-12), SF-12 PCS = 44.1 (21-65), and SF-12 MCS = 50.6 (21-61). The average follow-up was 4.8 years. Conclusion: Management of bipolar shoulder injuries with humeral head allograft augmentation and glenoid based surgery leads to low recurrence rates and good clinical outcomes in patients with uncontrolled, seizure-related shoulder instability.
