background: no uniform consensus exists to decide type of fixation for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. hypothsis: there is similar functional outcome after rigid fix compared to other methods of fixation which has been published. study design: retrospective observational study. methods: a total of 50 patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstructi...

Purpose: Arthroscopic rotator cuff (RC) repair is reported to have a steep learning curve with rapid decrease in rotator cuff repair time (RCRT) during a surgeon’s first 10 cases. Faster surgery may represent learning; however, faster surgery does not represent better surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcome (rather than RCRT) during the learning phase of arthroscopic ...

Tying secure knots is essential in arthroscopic surgery. A new slip knot for arthroscopic shoulder surgery is described. Locking of the knot is accomplished by pulling the post strand. Knot tying is simple and a low-profile, secure knot is produced.

Background: Acute pain is common after arthroscopic surgeries and it is one of the most important causes of patient dissatisfaction, admission time and increased morbidity . Gabapentin with anti-hyperalgesic effects can play a critical role in pre-emptive analgesia methods. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of gabapentin in pain management after surgery and the rate of drug consu...

  Abstract   Background: Despite being the largest rotator cuff tendon of the shoulder, the   function and clinical relevance of subscapularis pathology has been largely ignored   in the literature. Although many studies have focused on subscapularis tears recently,   majority of them reported techniques for open repair. The advent of arthroscopy and   arthroscopic repair techniques has opened ...

BACKGROUND Anterior shoulder instability can be a disabling condition for the young athlete; however, the best surgical treatment remains controversial. Traditionally, anterior shoulder instability was treated with open stabilization. More recently, arthroscopic repair of the Bankart injury with suture anchor fixation has become an accepted technique. HYPOTHESIS No systematic reviews have com...

Background Arthroscopic stabilization is the most broadly used surgical procedure in the United States for management of recurrent shoulder instability. Latarjet coracoid transfer has been considered a salvage surgical procedure for failed arthroscopic repairs or cases of significant glenoid bone loss; however, with recent literature suggesting reduced risk of recurrent instability with Latarje...

This study was designed to test limited arthroscopic shaver reuse following reprocessing and to compare the functional performance between new and reprocessed arthroscopic shavers in arthroscopic procedures using fresh cadaveric knees. A trial using arthroscopic procedures (menisectomy, synovectomy, and debridements) was conducted by experienced surgeons using cadaveric knees to determine wheth...

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...

Aim: Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus (OLT) is a common pathology in orthopedic injuries. Recently arthroscopic microfracture treatment is widely used as a simple technique with clinically satisfactory outcomes. The present study aimed to reveal the outcomes of arthroscopic OLT treatment and determine the appropriate patient group. Material and Methods: 21 patients who underwent arthroscopic ...
