INTRODUCTION Arthroscopic management of extensive subscapularis tendon lesions was reported more recently than for the supra- and infra-spinatus tendons. Extensive tears create technical problems requiring an extra-articular approach. The few results so far reported have been encouraging. STUDY DESIGN Surgical techniques adapted to each type of tear according to our subscapularis lesion class...

Arthroscopic stabilization has proven an effective technique in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability due to soft tissue labrum/ligamentous (i.e. Bankart) injury. However, this procedure has not proven as reliable in patients with glenoid rim fractures that have either been neglected or unrecognized, and gone on to resorb. Consequently, there has been a growing emphasis on the importan...

Bucket-handle tears of the meniscus comprise nearly 10% of all meniscus tears and commonly affect the young male population. Displacement of the free segment can lead to significant pain and disability, necessitating reduction and surgical treatment. General contraindications include malalignment, severe arthritis, significant comorbidities, or chronic asymptomatic tears, but otherwise repair s...

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been recently established as a risk factor in the development of osteoarthritis of the hip. Intraosseous cysts are commonly seen on imaging of FAI. In most cases these cysts are incidental and do not require specific treatment at the time of surgical treatment of hip impingement. However, in some cases the cysts may mechanically compromise the acetabular r...

This research aims to present a novel arthroscopic fixation technique that uses double-row suture anchor for tibial spine avulsion and evaluate its short-term clinical outcomes. The surgical is described retrospective case series presented. Patients who presented with type III IV fractures according the Meyers McKeever classification received same treatment from 2013 2018 in two specialised hos...

Arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASAD) is becoming a widely performed surgical procedure of the shoulder. The technique has evolved from open anterior acromioplasty as described by Neer,1,2 Hawkins et al,3,4 Rockwood,5 and Bigliani et al.6 The transition from open to arthroscopic technique entails a definite learning curve and should not be underestimated. This chapter focuses on the tec...

PURPOSE To report a new technique of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis using bioabsorbable interference screw fixation and the early results. TYPE OF STUDY Prospective, nonrandomized study. METHODS TECHNIQUE The principle of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is simple: after biceps tenotomy, the tendon is exteriorized and doubled on a suture; the biceps tendon is then pulled into a humeral socke...

BACKGROUND Mechanical factors are at the basis of any tendon healing process, being pressure an aspect able to positively influence it. For this reason transosseous rotator cuff repair represents the gold standard procedure for patients affected by a cuff tear, maximizing the tendon footprint contact area and reducing motion at the tendon to bone interface. METHODS The Authors present an all ...
