PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to describe a new full-thickness tear pattern of the posterosuperior rotator cuff with reversal healing. We describe the specific radiologic signs associated with this tear pattern and the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective radiologic and clinical study collected all patients with a magnetic resonance imaging a...

PURPOSE To determine whether arthroscopic remplissage with Bankart repair is an effective treatment strategy for patients with Bankart lesions and large Hill-Sachs defects. METHODS Between 2006 and 2008, 20 patients underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage for the treatment of recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability and large Hill-Sachs defects. Preoperative imaging in all p...

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using the middle third of the patellar tendon is an effective method for treating ACL insufficiency. Donor site morbidities are usually mild. This article presents a case of simultaneous patellar fracture and patellar tendon avulsion that occurred 8 weeks after this operation. Such a case has rarely been reported. Theoretically...
