Many clinical reports have emphasized the importance of rotator interval lesions in patients with glenohumeral instability, and many investigators have described open repair techniques, either as a supplement to other capsule reconstruction or as an isolated procedure. In this article, an original arthroscopic technique for rotator interval closure is described. This technique allows the operat...

Seven cases of arthroscopic radial head excision were followed up and their functional outcome evaluated. In this series, there appeared to be a significant improvement in the functional range of movements and pain scores at rest and during work. There were no complications. Arthroscopic radial head excision is a safe procedure with a good functional outcome. A final conclusion can be drawn onl...

The labrum is essential for stability, movement, and prevention of arthritis in the hip. In cases of labral damage where repair of a labral tear is not possible, reconstruction can be a useful alternative. Several different autografts have been used, including the iliotibial band (ITB), the ligamentum teres capitis, and the gracilis tendon. Authors have reported both open and arthroscopic techn...

The role of arthroscopic procedures in the management of glenohumeral instability continues to evolve and represents an effective alternative for addressing the pathology associated with this condition. Patient selection criteria, operative techniques, and implants all continue to evolve and have resulted in improved rates of success. Arthroscopic procedures benefit patients by avoiding the com...

Abstract Introduction Traumatic anterior instability of the shoulder is a common condition associated with a high recurrence rate in young adults. Clinicians, therefore, have been trying to find a technically simple, highly ...

Arthroscopic posterior bone block procedure using cortical screws has been reported since 2012 for management of recurrent instability associated with defects. To avoid screw complications, we describe a full arthroscopic technique based on button fixation. With 4 portals (posterior, poster lateral, anterior, and anterolateral), use specific glenoid guiding system (to perform 2 tunnels) buttons...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment for osteoarthritic knee is a controversy. This study presents the technique of a novel concept of arthroscopic procedure and investigates its clinical outcome. METHOD An arthroscopic procedure targeted on elimination of focal abrasion phenomenon and regaining soft tissue balance around patello-femoral joint was applied to treat osteoarthr...

Arthroscopic surgeries, which are widely used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, not only require advanced hand–eye coordination but also involve complicated surgical procedure, necessitating simulation-based training for surgeons. This paper describes a surgical procedure simulation system for the training of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Different from existing simulation...

The objective of this study was to investigate the national trends in rotator cuff surgery in Korea and analyze hospital type-specific trends. We analyzed a nationwide database acquired from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) from 2007 to 2015. International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) codes, procedure codes, and arthroscopic device code were...
