INTRODUCTION Paralabral ganglion cysts of the shoulder are rare, and their pathogenesis is similar to that of meniscal cysts. The paralabral cysts are most frequently reported along the posterior, superior, and anterior aspects of the glenohumeral joint and are uncommon inferiorly to the joint. These cysts rarely become evident clinically, unless they cause compression of surrounding structures...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term clinical outcome and its related factors regarding the severity of adhesion of CH ligament over long head of biceps (LHB) after shoulder arthroscopic capsular release for frozen shoulder with technical points in 255 patients. METHODS We performed arthroscopic capsular release for frozen shoulder in 267 shoulders of 255 pati...

BACKGROUND Patient selection is critical when choosing between arthroscopic joint preservation and total shoulder arthroplasty in young patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA). PURPOSE To identify prognostic factors predictive of early failure in patients undergoing comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) for GHOA. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHOD...

For normal shoulder joint movements, sternoclavicular articulation, the acromioclavicular joint, the glenohumeral joints, and the scapulothoracic joints should be coordinated. For remedial program after arthroscopic surgery for rotator damage, muscle exercise for the rotator should be regarded as an important factor, and clinical approaches should be adopted to promote muscle control and balanc...

Since its inception, arthroscopic surgery has become widely adopted among orthopedic surgeons. It is therefore important to have an understanding of the basic principles of arthroscopy. Compared with open techniques, arthroscopic procedures are associated with smaller incisions, less structural damage, improved intra-articular visualization, less pain in the immediate postoperative period, and ...

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair generally has a good clinical outcome but shoulder stiffness after surgery due to subacromial adhesion is one of the most common and clinically important complications. Sodium hyaluronate (HA) has been reported to be an anti-adhesive agent in a range of surgical procedures. However, there are few reports of the outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff re...

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...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to look at the functional outcomes of arthroscopic repair of anterosuperior rotator cuff tears with open biceps tenodesis when indicated. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 17 patients (17 shoulders) who underwent arthroscopic repair of anterosuperior tears with concurrent open biceps tenodesis. At final follow-up, an independent examiner co...
