Purpose: The bone defects that are associated with shoulder anterior instability may be the causes of failure of arthroscopic surgery. For the treatment of traumatic shoulder instability, we tried to determine the arthroscopic techniques that can be used for the bone defect of the glenoid and the humeral head. The purpose of this study is to assess the surgical techniques for the arthroscopic reconstruction of the shoulder with anterior instability and bone defects. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the articles that have been recently published on anterior shoulder instability and we assessed the arthroscopic surgical techniques. We compared the articles and the methods of arthroscopic surgical techniques for treating bone defects of the anteroinferior glenoid and the posterolateral humeral head, which were considered as the causes of recurrence of shoulder instability. Results: There are the anteroinferior bone defects of the glenoid and Hill-Sachs lesions in the bone defects that appear in patients with anterior shoulder instability. These bone defects are currently the causes of failure of arthroscopic surgery. Conclusion: Open shoulder surgery may be the treatment of the choice for a shoulder with instability and significant bone defects of the glenoid and the humeral head. But efforts are being made to overcome the weaknesses of open surgery by the use of arthroscopy.

Purpose: The purpose of this report was to assess a surgical technique-using an autogenous tricortical iliac crest bone graft in patients with epilepsy-for anatomical glenoid reconstruction for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability with severe glenoid deficiency. Materials and Methods: We studied two cases of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder due to epilepsy. These cases were treated with anatomical glenoid reconstruction using an autogenous tricortical iliac crest bone graft. Results: Both cases achieved bone union in 5 months. There was no recurrence of instability and pain. Both cases had normal range of motion. Conclusion: Anatomical glenoid reconstruction for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability with severe glenoid deficiency using an autogenous tricortical iliac crest bone graft is a successful surgical technique for achieving shoulder stability.

Purpose : To introduce arthroscopic partial meniscectomy fur bucket handle tear of medial meniscus using posteromedial portal, which is superior to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy using standard anterior portals commonly used. Method : After arthroscopic examination of the knee, we reduce the torn meniscus, advance the arthroscope into posteromedial compartment under arthroscopic visualization, we make posteromedial portal with reexamination of the compartment and perform arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Conclusion : With the technique of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy using standard anterior portals, accurate partial meniscectomy can not be done because of inadequate visual field, associated meniscal injuries of posterior horn and cartilage lesion of posterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle can be missed, commonly posterior cruciate ligament can be injured and artificial damage to weight bearing surface of medial femoral condyle is possible. An arthroscopic partial meniscectomy using posteromedial portal is an excellent method fur bucket handle tear of medial meniscus.

Artificial joints are used when joints lose their function because of either the destruction or damage of the composing bones of the joints. To evaluate the primary stability of a femur-implant system, the relative displacement caused by a repeated load is measured immediately after the insertion of the artificial joint. For more accurate stability evaluation, the accurate measurement of the penetration displacement of the artificial joint to the bone and the rotation angle of the artificial joint is essential. In this study, to evaluate the primary stability of the femur-implant system, we propose a new relative displacement measurement method. By using this new method, we comparatively evaluate the primary stability for various surgical methods and the varying stiffness of the cadaver femur-implant itself.

Fibroma of tendon sheath is an uncommon benign soft tissue tumor with a predilection for the hand or upper extremities with extremely rare intra-articular involvement. It is mostly comprised of slow-growing fibrous lobules made up of scattered fibroblasts in a dense stroma with slit-like vascular channels. An unique case in a 54-year-old male patient involving the glenohumeral joint arising from postersuperior joint capsule is reported. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reveals a focal nodular mass with decreased signal intensity on all pulse sequences and pathology confirmation was made with arthroscopic excision. Intra-articular fibroma of tendon sheath should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intra-articular soft tissue masses during shoulder arthroscopy.
