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...
