We evaluated the results of the arthroscopic Outerbridge-Kashiwaghi procedure in a retrospective review of 20 elbows in 19 patients with a mean followup of 2 years (range : 6 months - 4 years). Range of motion improved from 94 degrees (range: 15 degrees-140 degrees) to 123 degrees (range: 110 degrees-140 degrees). Visual analogue scales for pain improved from 5.8 (range: 2 -8) to 1.8 (range: 0-...

Micro-emboli have been reported to occur commonly during arthroscopic surgery, which is frequently performed as an orthopedic surgical procedure. We here report a patient who experienced unilateral postoperative visual loss after a hip arthroscopy using irrigation fluid in the supine position without any evidence of external compression to either eye throughout the surgical procedure. Retinal f...

Treatment of painful internal snapping hip via arthroscopic release of the iliopsoas tendon is becoming the preferred option over open techniques because of the benefits of minimal dissection and fewer complications. However, complications do occur with arthroscopic techniques as well. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman who presented with painful internal snapping of her right hip and u...

OBJECTIVE to evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronic acid in the post-operative of knee arthroscopy. METHODS we have evaluated 49 patients undergoing arthroscopic procedure with the use of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (Group 1) and 49 patients undergoing arthroscopic procedure without the use of hyaluronic acid (Group 2). Patients were evaluated based on the Visual Analogue Scale, household an...

In this study data from 54 patients with persisting primary frozen shoulder were collected and evaluated retrospectively. All included patients underwent a specific kind of surgical treatment of the shoulder. Three different surgical techniques were compared to each other. A group of 21 patients received a combination of arthroscopic capsular release and subacromial decompression. 18 patients w...

BACKGROUND Recurrence of glenohumeral dislocation after arthroscopic Bankart repair can be associated with a large osseous defect in the posterosuperior part of the humeral head. Our hypothesis is that remplissage is more effective to prevent recurrence of glenohumeral instability without a severe motion deficit. METHODS Engaging Hill-Sachs lesions were observed in 48 of 737 patients (6.5%). ...

Human vision works equally well in a large dynamic range of light intensities, from only a few photons to typical midday sunlight. Contributing to such remarkable flexibility is a famous law in perceptual (both visual and aural) psychology and psychophysics known as Weber’s Law. The current paper develops a new segmentation model based on the integration of both Weber’s Law and the celebrated M...

Background: Anatomical single bundle arthroscopic Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been the standard treatment for ACL injured patients. It is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to understand the internal derangements of the knee joint. ACL is the commonly injured ligament in young adults. The purpose of Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is to restore the no...

Initial treatment of shoulder multidirectional instability (MDI) consists of nonoperative modalities of physical therapy and rehabilitation; if this fails, surgical treatment can become necessary. MDI of the shoulder can be challenging to manage in individuals who fail conservative management. Historically, surgical treatment for MDI has been open capsular plication; however, arthroscopic capsu...

Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is indicated for hallux valgus associated with degenerative changes, severe deformity, or rheumatoid arthritis and those for whom primary hallux valgus surgery has failed. Open approach requires extensive soft tissue dissection. The purpose of this Technical Note was to report the details of arthroscopic arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalan...
