Purpose: We reviewed arthroscopic reconstruction among the several treatment options for anterior shoulder instability with a bony Bankart lesion. Materials and Methods: Although open Bankart repair has long been considered the optimal surgical management of anterior shoulder instability, advancements in arthroscopic techniques have led to a recent shift to arthroscopic Bankart repair. However, for cases of a glenoid bony defect, several authors have reported various methods to accurately measure the amount of bony defect. Results: The arthroscopic technique of bony Bankart reconstruction continues to evolve and various methods have followed. To overcome the limitations of single fixation of a Bankart lesion, arthroscopic dual fixation (2 point fixation) has recently been tried to anatomically repair and restore the rigid fixation of a bony fragment. The concept of performing the Bristow-Latarjet transfer procedure under arthroscopy has also recently emerged. However, a large series of cases and long term follow up are required to prove the better results. Conclusion: To obtain a successful outcome for patients with anterior instability with a glenoid bony defect, it is imperative that the surgeon be aware of the accurate status of the bony defect and the intraoperative, postoperative factors associated with the proper treatment of this unstable pathology.

Purpose: This study reported the outcomes following the use of bioabsorbable knotless anchor in patients with anterior instability of shoulder. Methods: We studied fifteen cases with traumatic anterior shoulder instability underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with bioabsorbable knotless suture anchor between January 2003 and June 2003. Among fifteen patients, fourteen were male and one was female, with a mean patient age of 24 years (range 16-42). The mean follow-up was 14 months (range 12-18 months). We compared with operation time of twenty cases of arthroscopic Bankart repair by the suture anchor technique between January 2002 and October 2002. Results: Neither recurrent dislocation nor subluxation was happened in postoperative follow-up. Mean score for functional evaluation by Rowe et al. was 89.4 and that for patient subjective satisfaction was 87,5. At last follow-up period, average shoulder range of motion for flexion and external rotation was 171$^{\circ}$ and 54$^{\circ}$ respectively. All patients were satisfied except three who had an apprehension at the follow up. During Bankart repair, it took an average of 25.5 minutes for one knot with the use of suture anchor technique whereas an average of 16.5 minutes for one knot with the use of bioabsorbable knotless anchor. Significantly, we saved operation time with the use of bioabsorbable knotless anchor (P<0.05).Conclusion: Repairing the Bankart lesion with the use of knotless anchor technique has the advantage of obtaining good capsular tensioning and saving operation time. And it is considered to be very successful in treating shoulder instability without recurrent dislocation or subluxation.

대다수의 견관절 전방 불안정성에서 관절와에 골 소실이 큰 경우는 Bankart 복원술을 튼튼하게 하였을지라도 상완골두를 지탱할 관절 궁이 감소되어 골에 의한 버팀이 줄어들므로 Bankart 복원이 실패할 가능성이 높다. 따라서 관절와 결손이나 상완골 두 결손이 큰 경우 정확한 측정으로 결손의 범위를 파악하여야 하며, 관절와 결손이 25% 이상이거나 상완 골 두 결손이 30% 이상인 경우 추가적인 수술적 처치가 요하여 최근 보고되고 있는 Latarjet 술식이나 관절경적 Remplissage 술식을 시행하는 것이 바람직하다.

We evaluated biceps pulley as a stabilizing sling for the long head of biceps tendon in the rotator interval. We present 3 cases of detached biceps pulley which impinges on posterosuperior glenoid labrum in the position of late cocking. Pulley impingement related to anterior shoulder instability was relieved after Bankart repair. In another two cases, impingement symptoms were disappeared after resection of the detached biceps pulley.

Purpose: We evaluated the minimal 1 year follow-up results (shoulder stability and the clinical and functional results) for the Remplissage technique to fill a Hill-Sachs lesion. Materials and Methods: The subjects were 12 patients who could be followed up for more than 12 months after the "Remplissage" procedures in our hospital from December 2008 to November 2009. Their mean age was 27.9 years old and the mean follow-up was 19 months. The evaluations included the ROM, the ASES score, the KSSI score, the ROWE score and postoperative MRI. Results: On the postoperative functional evaluation after an average of 16 months, the ASES score improved from 50.8 preoperatively to 78.3 postoperatively, the KSSI score improved form 44.5 preoperatively to 81.0 postoperatively and the ROWE score improved from 40.2 preoperatively to 84.3 postoperatively. After an average 14 months for all the cases, the range of movement was nearly in the normal range, which is 178.6${\pm}$18.6 (165~180) degrees for forward flexion and 49.3${\pm}$10 (43~60) degrees for external rotation. Conclusion: For recurrent shoulder instability with a large Hill-Sachs lesion, the Remplissage technique has a good outcome after more than 1 year follow-up in terms of the shoulder stability and the clinical and functional results.

Purpose: Capsulolabral reconstruction in a traumatic anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint is successful not only for the prevention of recurrent instability but also for the restoration of function. Materials and Methods: However, a capsulolabral procedure alone cannot guarantee a successful result when there is severe bone loss of the glenoid. Results: We report the surgical technique and results of capsulolabral repair and extraarticular bone block with an autogenous iliac crest graft performed on three cases (all male, average age 28 years, minimum follow-up 12 months) with traumatic anterior instability associated with more than 30% glenoid bone loss.

Purpose: To evaluate the short-term follow up outcome and the effectiveness of arthroscopic vertical shift of anteroinferior capsulolabral complex, plication of AIGHLC (anterior band of inferior glenohumeral ligament complex) and thermal capulorraphy, posteroinferior suture plication, rotator interval closure as an adjuncts in recurrent instability of megafrequency with night time dislocation. Materials & Methods: From March 1998 to February 2004, we have had 18 shoulders out of 156. All of the cases have been night time dislocation above more one time. The age were average 29.4$(21{\sim}37)$ year old. The average follow up were 21.1 $(12{\sim}45)$months We checked Rowe score and ROM at pre-operation, post-operation 6 months,1 year & last follow up period. Results: Above good results were 16 cases(88.9%). The excellent were 6 cases, good were 10, fair 1, poor 1. Conclusions: In recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in greater than 50 frequency, arthroscopic stabilization can be an alternative technique for selected patients against open inferior capsular shift. But more long ter n follow up and large materials will be needed in the future study.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchors for treatment of traumatic anterior instability of shoulder joint. Materials and Methods: We performed arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchor in 90 cases and evaluated the results with the functional grading system of Rows and Zarins after patients were followed up for more than 24 months. Results: Combined pathologies identified under arthroscopy were Hill-sachs lesion in 46 cases, SLAP lesion in 12 cases, Rotate cuff lesion in 7 cases. The results were excellent or good in 82(91.1%) cases and redislocation was happened only 3 cases. Conclusion: We concluded that arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors is one of the reliable and effective method for recurrent shoulder dislocation with Bankart lesion.

Purpose: To determine whether it is possible to differentiate between ALPSA(anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion) lesion and Bankart lesion using arthroscopic findings and to investigate the clinical significance of ALPSA lesion. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 66 cases that underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair for the anterior instability of the shoulder. By the readings of MRI, there were 56 cases(85%) of Bankart lesion and ten cases(15%) of ALPSA lesion. Arthroscopic findings of Each cases were classified and their average follow-up period was 22 months. Results: It was observed that ALPSA lesions developed in younger age groups than Bankart lesions. Under the arthroscope, ALPSA lesions showed various forms, especially there were five cases of severe inferomedial displacements. Within Bankart lesion, 21 cases were observed to be severely displaced and from the arthroscopic findings, it was difficult to distinguish the difference of Bankart lesion cases displaced inferomedially from the neck of scapula without severe lateral displacements and ALPSA lesion. Regarding the recurrence, there were no redislocation but apprehension shows in two cases(20%) with severe inferomedial displacement in ALPSA group. In Bankart lesion, there were four recurrent cases(7.1%); one of redislocation; one case of subluxation; two of apprehension. Conclusion: It was difficult to differentiate Bankart lesion and ALPSA lesion with severe inferomedial displacement and severely displaced ALPSA lesion showed high rate of recurrence. Thus, complete detachment of ALPSA lesion should be performed more carefully to reduce the recurrence rate.
