Spinoglenoid cyst of the shoulder is a rare clinical entity and several treatment modalities have been reported. Recently, arthroscopy is effectively used via communication hole or posterior capsulotomy through the glenohumeral joint. With this method, the complete cystectomy is impossible if the cyst is a large size or extended anteriorly and there are few reports about such cases. We present extra-articular complete cystectomy through bursal space in 3 cases of huge and anteriorly extended spinoglenoid cysts. All patients were able to return to work with no restrictions and 2 patients who performed the follow up MRI demonstrated complete resolution of the cyst and some recovery of the mass of infraspinatus muscle.

Twenty-six patients (12 male and 14 female) with symptomatic scapular winging caused by serratus anterior dysfunction were managed with split pectoralis major tendon transfer (sternal head) with autogenous hamstring tendon augmentation from 1998 to 2006. Twenty-five patients had positive results for long thoracic nerve palsy on electromyography. The mean duration of symptoms until surgery was 48 months (range 12~120 months). Four patients had non-traumatic etiologies and twenty-two patients had traumatic etiologies. At the final follow-up assessment for functional improvement, a Constant-Murley score was used. 21 patients were completely evaluated, while 5 patients who had less than 12 months follow-up were excluded. Pain relief was achieved in 19 of the 21 patients, with twenty patients showing functional improvement. The pain scores improved from 6.0 preoperatively to 1.8 postoperatively. The mean active forward elevation improved from $108^{\circ}$ (range $20^{\circ}\sim165^{\circ}$) preoperatively to $151^{\circ}$ (range $125^{\circ}\sim170^{\circ}$) postoperatively. The mean Constant-Murley score improved from 57.7 (range 21~86) preoperatively to 86.9 (range 42~98) postoperatively. A recurrence developed in one patient. Of the twenty-one patients, eight had excellent results, nine had good results, three had fair results, and one had poor results. Most patients with severe symptomatic scapular winging had functional improvement and pain relief with resolution of scapular winging.

최근 견관절 질환의 상당수가 관절경 수술로 이루어지고 있다. 좌체위(beath chair position)를 이용한 관절경 수술은 시술 중 관헐적 방법으로의 전환이 용이하고 공간에 대한 orientation을 쉽게 잡을 수 있어 선호되고 있다. 또한 관절경 수술 시 시야 확보를 위해 epinephrine을 혼합한 세척액이 통상적으로 사용되고 있다. 관절경 수술 시 심부 정맥 혈전증(deep vein thrombosis), 가스 색전증, 세척액에 사용하는 epinephrine에 의한 심실성 빈맥 등과 같은 치명적인 부작용이 가끔 보고되어 있다. 관절경하 견관절 수술 도중 심실 빈맥의 발생은 매우 드문 경우이며 이에 대한 보고도 거의 없는 상태이다. 저자들은 2주의 기간 동안 좌체위로 관절경하 견관절 수술을 하는 도중 갑작스럽게 발생한 심실 빈맥 2예를 경험하였기에 원인 및 치료 과정을 보고하고자 한다. 좌체위로 인한 뇌혈류 저하, 가스 색전증 등의 증세는 없었다. 관절경술 도중 세척액에 투입된 소량의 epinephrine이 동시에 체내로 급속히 유입되어 심실 빈맥이 왔으리라 추정하고 있으며, 실험을 통해 이를 증명하고자 하였다.

퇴행성 변화에 의한 회전근 개 파열은 보통 관절면측에서 파열이 먼저 시작되어 전층 파열로 진행되는 것이 보편적인 반면 점액낭면 파열은 견봉하 충돌 증후군에 의해 주로 발생하지만 충돌 증후군에 의해 관절면 또는 건내 파열도 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 연령에 따른 퇴행성 변화와 더불어 생역학적 기전 등의 내적 요인과 충돌 증후군 또는 외상 등의 외적인 요인이 복합적으로 작용하는 회전근 개 파열은 관절면과 점액낭면에 파열이 공존할 수 있다. 결론적으로 회전근 개 파열은 보통 퇴행성 변화가 가장 기본적인 원인으로 생각되나 하나의 원인을 독립적으로 생각하기 보다는 다양한 원인이 동시에 혹은 단계적으로 작용하여 임상적으로 의미있는 병적인 상태로 진행한다고 보는 것이 타당하리라 생각된다.

Many anomalous origins of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) have been reported. However, developmental anomalies of the LHBT are rarely encountered in daily practice. We report a patient with an anomalous LHBT that was adherent to and confluent with the rotator cuff throughout its intra-articular course and present the clinical, magnetic resonance arthrography, and arthroscopic findings.

Calcific tendinitis is a common condition with characteristic clinical and radiological findings. Although we do not know which condition initiated the pathologic cascade, we present a rare case of calcific tendinitis of the long head of the biceps brachii at its origin, associated with a SLAP lesion. The calcium deposit was removed and the SLAP lesion was repaired with a suture anchor arthroscopically.

The beach-chair traction position is designed to allow the use of traction while allowing the surgeon to orient the shoulder in an upright position and convert to an open procedure, if necessary. The patient is placed in the beach-chair position under general anesthesia. A three-point shoulder holder (Arthrex, Naples, Florida) is attached to the rail of the operating table on the same side as the surgeon, whereas it is placed on the side opposite the surgeon in the lateral decubitus position. A shoulder traction and rotation sleeve (Arthrex) are affixed to the arm following the manufacturer's instructions. Positioning the thumb toward the closed side of the sleeve ensures a field for the anterior portion of the rotator cuff and prevents the tendency of the suspension apparatus to place the arm in internal rotation. The arm is maintained in 30 to 40 degree abduction and 30 to 40 degree flexion by controlling the length and height of the bar and the location of the universal clamp. The universal clamp allows multiple planes of adjustment to control abduction and forward movement of the arm. The sleeve is attached to the longitudinal traction cable using a sterile hook, and a lateral strap is secured around the proximal portion of the sleeve to the overhead traction cable to ensure a field for glenohumeral reconstruction. The use of a lateral strap permits ideal shoulder positioning for improved access to the anterior and inferior glenohumeral joint. The lateral strap can be released or removed to widen the subacromial space during subacromial decompression or rotator cuff repair. A 10-lb weight is attached to the longitudinal traction cable for an average-sized person.

A 27-year-old, right-hand-dominant woman with a posttraumatic anterior shoulder dislocation 3 months earlier after traYc accident presented because of pain and limited range of motion in the right shoulder. On physical examination, the patient had negative instability tests and a sulcus sign. On arthroscopic examination, a bifurcate long biceps tendon with two limbs was observed about 1 cm distal to the origin in the supraglenoid tubercle. We found no evidence of a tear in the long biceps tendon on probing, and the margin of each limb was smooth and round. Although this anatomic variant may be benign, its presence might be associated with other shoulder pathology. It is interesting to speculate whether the aberrant biceps anatomy in our patient contributed to transfer of injury at dislocation to the rotator cuff rather than to the classic anterior-inferior capsulolabral complex. In addition, recognition of the described anatomic variant on arthroscopy can aid the shoulder surgeon in focusing treatment on the actual pathology.

A 25-year-old man presented with a history of pain and crepitus in the right shoulder; he had been previously treated with arthroscopic anterior stabilization using four metallic suture anchors for recurrent traumatic anterior instability 1 year earlier. In this report, we present a patient with recurrent glenohumeral instability combined with anchor-induced arthropathy who was managed with modified arthroscopic transglenoid reconstruction following arthroscopic suture anchor retrieval.

연부조직에서의 연골종은 주로 수부에서 드물게 보고되고 있으나, 견관절의 회전근 개 내에 발생한 경우는 보고된 바 없다. 저자들은 견관절의 상관절와순 파열로 내원한 30세 남자에서 발견된 극상건 내 연골종을 관절경적으로 치료하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon condition, and the involvement of the shoulder joint is rare. A 15 year old female patient presented to author's institution for right shoulder pain. We checked the plain radiographs and MRI. And they showed that a diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis in the shoulder, and they also demonstrated that the disease involved the bicipital tendon sheath as well as glenohumeral joint. We removed all loose bodies with total synovectomy by arthroscopic procedure, and a mini-open procedure for the lesions of biceps tendon sheath. Arthroscopic treatment affords excellent visualization of the shoulder joint with less morbidity. However, with current arthroscopic techniques, it is difficult to manage the synovial chondromatosis of biceps tendon in bicipital groove. The authors suggest that the complete elimination of synovial chondromatosis involving shoulder requires a mini-open procedure for the lesions of biceps tendon sheath in addition to the arthroscopic resection of the affected synovium and loose body removal in the glenohumeral joint.

발음성 삼두근 증후군은 주관절을 굴곡하거나 신전할 때 삼두근 말단부 일부와 척골 신경이 내상과 전방으로 탈구되는 드문 질환이다. 이학적 검사 만으로는 다른 질환으로 오진되는 경우가 많아 정확한 진단이 필수적이며 확진을 위하여는 척골 신경 및 삼두근의 비정상적인 움직임을 관찰할 수 있는 영상 검사가 필요하다. 초음파 검사는 자기 공명 영상 촬영 등 다른 검사에 비해 간편하고 효과적으로 연부 조직의 동적 검사를 시행할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 저자들은 발음성 삼두근 증후군 환자를 동적 초음파 검사를 사용하여 진단하고 척골 신경 전방 전위술 및 삼두근 내두의 이전술을 시행하여 치유하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 초음파 검사의 유용성을 보고하고자 한다.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, proliferating disease affecting the synovium of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. The knee is the most common site of involvement and accounts for up to 80% of cases. Involvement of the shoulder is extremely rare. Only 1 case of involvement of the subacromial space has been reported worldwide. We report a case of localized extra-articular PVNS of the subacromial space that was satisfactorily treated with marginal excision; the disease has not recurred during an 18-month follow-up period. The clinical manifestation, treatment, and prognosis of extra-articular PVNS are poorly understood, but if the lesion is left untreated, it can invade the surrounding soft tissue and joint. Therefore, we believe that early diagnosis and treatment are important for the satisfactory management of PVNS.

We report a rare case of late-onset brachial artery occlusion caused by subclavian artery stenosis with excessive scar tissue after open reduction and plate fixation for clavicular fracture. When he referred to us, the right hand were pale and the radial and ulnar pulses at the wrist were absent. CT-angiogram showed compression of subclavian artery by excessive scar tissue beneath the fracture site and angiography revealed stenosis of subclavian artery with thrombus and complete obstruction of blood flow in the brachial artery with emboli. Therefore, we performed embolectomy. 2 years after operation, patient was essentially asymptomatic except mild pain after long standing elevation of arm. We recommend that minimal soft tissue dissection should be needed in the operative treatment of clavicular fracture, especially soft tissue beneath the clavicle should be protected maximally.

In order to improve static stability and healing of reattached labrum, we combined the advantages of suture bridge and transosseous technique. Using the conventional 3 portal for anterior instability, check stability of bony Bankart and preparation of glenoid bed in 3 way including removal, reshaping or mobilization of bony fragment. Two anchors were inserted to the superior and inferior portion and medial edge of bony Bankart lesion. It usually corresponded to the area of IGHL. Medial mattress sutures were applied around IGHL complex to get enough depth of glenoid coverage using suture hook. Make 3.5mm pushlock anchor hole to the articular edge of glenoid cartilage. Proximal suture bridge was applied at first and then distal suture bridge was inserted to mobilize the labrum in proximal direction. These construction can provide more stable labral repair with wide contact and compression in case of deficient bony stability. It not only avoids technical disadvantage of point contact with anchor fixation, but also decreasing gap formation through cross compression of labrum that couldn't gain even with the transosseous fixation which affords linear compression effect. Additional bony stability could be gained if the the bony fragment was mobilized to the glenoid margin with potential healing bed or reshaped for the good contact with reattached labrum.

For a partial tear of the subscapularis tendon, the presenting technique requires only the anterior portal for preparing the footprint and suture management, as well as the subclavian portal for placing the suture anchor and suture hook without inserting a cannula. It provides both a good angle for anchor placement and sufficient space for managing the upper portion of a subscapularis tendon tear. A spinal needle was inserted through the subclavian portal in order to identify the appropriate angle for placing the suture anchor. A 3-mm incision was made for the subclavian portal and a biosuture anchor was placed on the footprint portion of the subscapularis tendon. In order to avoid crowding, each limb of both strands of the biosuture anchor were passed through the tendon- posteromedial side first, and anterolateral side second, using a switching technique with suture hook embedded with no.1 PDS. A suture tie was applied in a reverse sequence (the lateral strand first and the medial strand second) through the anterior cannula using a sliding technique.
