Arthroscopic treatment of arthrofibrosis of the knee is a technically challenging procedure. Capsular distention with fluid before arthroscopy results in easier and safer insertion of arthroscopic instruments with improved arthroscopic visualization. In addition, it stretches the entire capsule, including the difficult to access posterior capsule. This report describes a simple technique for ca...

PURPOSE Both open and arthroscopic Bankart repair are established procedures in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability. While the open procedure is still considered as the "golden standard" functional outcome is supposed to be better in the arthroscopic procedure. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the functional outcome between open and arthroscopic Bankart repair. MA...

With the advance of arthroscopic surgical technique and instruments, minimal invasive arthroscopic reconstruction has become preferred treatment method forBankart reconstruction. The aim of this study was to describe surgical technique and report the results after either open or arthroscopic Bankart shoulder stabilization in a retrospective serieswith amedium-term follow-up. We performed a retr...

An all-arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon has seen signifi cant interest in the past 10 years. As we refi ne our knowledge and arthroscopic techniques in repairing other rotator cuff tears, we are now more capable of addressing subscapularis tears in an all-arthroscopic fashion as well. Th e main advantages of an all-arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon are smaller incis...

The role for the arthroscopic correction of femoroacetabular impingement continues to evolve. As the understanding of hip pathomorphology improves and arthroscopic techniques for managing these disorders advance, the indications for arthroscopic femoroacetabular correction become clearer. Attention to detail with respect to diagnoses and surgical management is critical to optimize outcomes in t...

Background:   To assess the outcome of the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method in patients with anterior shoulder dislocation associated with Hill-Sachs lesion.     Methods:   Ten patients with anterior shoulder dislocations and Hill-Sachs lesions were entered into this study and were operated on by the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method. They were followed up 22 months after surgery...

Background Intra-articular injuries to the hip in elite athletes represent a source of significant pain and disability. Hip arthroscopic surgery has become the gold standard for the treatment of disorders involving the hip joint. Purpose To examine the incidence of and abnormalities treated with hip arthroscopic surgery as well as the impact on future participation in American football athlet...

a 25 year-old man presented with pain, swelling, and intermittent drainage from distal lateral aspect of his left knee three months after undergoing isolated acl reconstruction with arthroscopic hamstring autograft and endobottom technique. his surgeon at that time tried to eliminate the pathology through arthroscopic wash out in two attempts. however, the pain, edema, and discharge recurred af...

BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate the effects of conservative therapy applied before arthroscopic subacromial decompression on the clinical outcome in patients with stage 2 shoulder impingement syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-eight patients having stage 2 shoulder impingement syndrome and treated with arthroscopic subacromial decompression were included in the study. We divided these patien...
