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...

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can be performed in both the beach chair and lateral decubitus positions. The lateral decubitus position allows for excellent exposure to all aspects of the glenohumeral joint and is therefore frequently employed in procedures such as stabilization, in which extensive visualization of the inferior and posterior aspects of the joint is required. Improved visualizati...

Arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder has revolutionized way we address intra-articular and tendinous injuries about joint. Nevertheless, despite apparent minimally invasive nature our trade, there remain potential long-term consequences to every operation. This is especially true if future arthroplasty indicated, as risk prosthetic joint infection increased in patients having a previous procedu...

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 Xray revealed no loose body and the joint was normal. One of the cases (case 1) was affected by ...

Objective- Using the arthroscopic surgery technique for experimental transection of cranial cruciateligament and arthroscopic findings of stifle joint following ligament transection .Design- Experimental study.Animals- Five healthy mixed breed dogs. Procedures- Five dogs (mean weight 27±3 kg, mean age 3 years) selected to study the stifle joint changesafter experimental cranial cruciate ligamen...

Several earlier reports have described life – threatening airway obstruction during arthroscopic shoulder surgery performed under regional anesthesia, caused by the leakage of irrigation fluid out of the shoulder joint space into the surrounding soft tissues, neck, pharynx and upper airway. Here, we present the case of a 32yearold male in whom the use of general anesthesia with endotracheal int...

Background: An effective treatment for the elbow recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis is arthroscopic surgery. This studyevaluated the midterm results of treating recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis with arthroscopic surgery.Methods: A total of 40 subjects with recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis prepared for arthroscopic surgery on their elbowsparticipated in this study. The elbo...

BACKGROUND The high demands to the glenohumeral joint and the violent shoulder blows experienced during martial arts (MA) could compromise return to sports and increase the recurrence rate after arthroscopic stabilization for anterior shoulder instability in these athletes. PURPOSE To report the functional outcomes, return to sports, and recurrences in a series of MA athletes with anterior sh...

The shoulder is a fascinating joint. The combination of mobility and stability of the shoulder allows us to position the upper extremity in space so that we may accomplish a large variety of functions. A wide array of pathological entities affect the shoulder, ranging from arthritis to instability and including the rotator cuff, scapular muscles and other joints in addition to the glenohumeral ...

Rotator cuff tears are a frequent cause of shoulder pain and shoulder surgery in orthopaedics. The use of arthroscopy for the repair of rotator cuff tear has increased significantly in the last 10 years and has begun to replace the traditional open and mini-open repairs. Commonly sited advantages of arthroscopic techniques are glenohumeral joint inspection, treatment of intraarticular joint les...
