Anterior instability is a difficult clinical problem that is treated by a variety of open and arthroscopic methods with good results. Bankart repair remains a popular option. However, in those situations involving irreparable ligamentous damage or bony deficiency, this technique may be insufficient to stabilize the shoulder. One of the principal methods of open treatment for this problem is the...

In this paper we present a video segmentation procedure obtained minimizing a modified version of the simplified Mumford Shah functional used for image partition. This procedure uses a graph with spatial and temporal connections to model a video sequence. The temporal connections are defined pre-computing the dense optical flow using methods available in the literature. To simplify the function...

This study redescribes an arthroscopic bridge technique for repair of avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament. The procedure is performed step-to-step. In this technique we created two bone tunnels in the anterior aspect of the tibia and inferior medial of the tibia tuberosity and then create suture fixation of the fragment using the suture bridge. The arthroscopic bridge technique was used...

Abstract Arthroscopic surgery in the knee most commonly addresses ligament, meniscal, or articular cartilage abnormalities. Similarly, arthroscopic of shoulder tendon and labral The expected postoperative MRI findings depend on both procedure performed time since surgery. Identifying complications failed procedures relies clinical imaging evaluations.

PURPOSE To establish the metrics (operational definitions) necessary to characterize a reference arthroscopic Bankart procedure, and to seek consensus from experienced shoulder arthroscopists on the appropriateness of the steps, as well as errors identified. METHODS Three experienced arthroscopic shoulder surgeons and an experimental psychologist (comprising the Metrics Group) deconstructed a...

abstract two cases (20 and 15 years old) of shoulder joint synovial chondromatosis were initially treated with arthroscopic debridement. one was further treated with a second arthroscopy and partial synovectomy (case 1) the second was fully treated by arthroscopic surgery (case 2). the postoperative control x- ray revealed no loose body and the joint was normal. one of the cases (case 1) was af...

UNLABELLED Presenting the arthroscopic treatment by Tight Rope - Arthrex(®) system for acute acromioclavicular dislocation and to evaluate results obtained with this procedure. METHODS Between August 2006 and May 2007, 10 shoulders of 10 patients with acute acromioclavicular dislocation were submitted to arthroscopic repair using the Tight Rope - Arthrex(®) system. Minimum follow-up was 12 mo...

Arthroscopic suprascapular nerve decompression at the suprascapular notch is a technically demanding surgical procedure with a steep learning curve. The aim of this Technical Note is to describe important pearls for an arthroscopic decompression of the suprascapular nerve relying on the palpation of the coracoclavicular ligaments before starting the arthroscopic visualization. This reduces the ...
