관절와 병변은 급성 외상으로 인한 골절뿐 아니라 불안정성으로 인한 골 침윤으로 정의할 수 있으며, 이는 통상의 방사선학적 검사를 통하여 진단을 하지 못하는 경우도 있다. 전방 탈구와 동반된 전방 관절와 골절의 빈도는 5.4%에서 32%까지 보고되었다. Hovelius 등이 226명의 탈구환자를 대상으로한 연구에서 8%의 관절와 골절이 있었다고 보고하였고, 노령의 환자에서 약간의 빈도가 증가한다고 하였다. 또한 Rowe는 전방 관절와 골절이 있는 27명의 환자에서 기계적 안정성의 결함으로 62%의 재발성 탈구가 있었다고 보고하였다. 보다 최근의 방카르트 술기에 대한 보고에서 수술적 처치를 한 환자중 44%가 관절와 골절을 동반하였다고 보고하였다. Rowe 와 Zarins는 다발성 전방탈구 환자에서 관절와 병변이 잘 치료되었는지 여부에 따라 다른 결과를 낸다고 보고하였다. 전자에 따르면, 관절와 병변을 진단하는 것은 중요하며 환자의 최종적 예후는 이를 어떻게 치료했는지 여부에 따라 결정된다고 하였다. 관절와 상완관절의 불안정성에서 동반된 관절와 병변의 진단은 보존적 치료시나 수술적 치료 시 모두 중요한 인자라고 하겠다.

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: 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 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.

A growing number of people are enjoying sports activity with a rise in national income. In this current, many patients complain of traumatic shoulder dislocation and chronic instability with bony Bankart lesion. Computed tomography arthrography is good diagnostic modality for bony Bankart lesion. It is important to consider the patients' factors such as occupation, sports activity, size of preoperative glenoid bone loss before decision of treatment. As development of arthroscopic treatment, there is no significant difference in the result of bony Bankart repair between arthroscopic surgery and open surgery. However, open surgery should be considered for patients with preoperative glenoid bone loss more than 25% or in need of collision sports activity.

Purpose: The elbow joint is one of the most stable joints. Dislocation and fracture can occur in elbow joint most commonly next to shoulder joint. Various injuries can occur according to generated mechanism, age of patient and impact. Despite proper treatment, various complications can occur. Materials and Methods: We describe etiology and treatment of these complications after elbow trauma such as stiffness, instability and heterotopic ossification. Results and Conclusion: Malunion, nonunion and traumatic arthritis are addressed as a possible complication after fracture around elbow joint.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of arthroscopic Bony Bankart repair using a One Anchor Double Fixation Technique. Materials and Method: Seventeen patients with a Bony Bankart lesion were treated using the One Anchor Double Fixation Technique (OADF Technique). There were 13 males and 4 females. The average age was 24 years (range 17-42). The average follow-up period was 22.3 months. One 3.0 mm suture anchor with doubly loaded sutures was inserted into the glenoid rim. One suture strand was passed the around the small bony fragment and tied first. Another suture strand was passed through the capsule and tied over the bony fragment. The result was measured using Rowe's evaluation index & KSS score. The glenoid defect & bony fragment were measured by 3D-CT scan. Results: Rowe's evaluation index on the final follow-up showed an overall improvement from an average of 54 (range, 23-71) to 83.4 (range 71-90). Of the 17 cases, 13 were excellent, 3 were good, and 1 was fair. KSS scores showed improvement from an average of 71 (range 49-82) to 92.5 (range 82-94). There were no cases where pain continued to the final follow-up, and no cases being re-dislocated during the follow-up period. For six cases, we confirmed the bony healing of the bony Bankart lesion by CT. Conclusion: Bony Bankart lesion repair using this new method achieves excellent clinical results with low recurrence rates and is considered another choice for bony Bankart lesions.

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.

Eighty-nine shoulders in eighty-eight patients with traumatic unilateral anterior shoulder instability were evaluated for Rowe and UCLA scores, recurrence, return to activity, and range of motion by an independent examiner at an average of 39 months after either arthroscopic or open Bankart repair using suture anchors. The arthroscopic technique included a minimum of 3 anchors, and a routine incorporation of capsular plication and proximal shift. Twenty­six shoulders(86.6%) out of thirty in the open Bankart repair group had excellent or good results while fifty­four(91.5%) of the fifty-nine shoulders with arthroscopic Bankart repair had excellent or good results. The arthroscopic group revealed significantly better results in the Rowe(p=.041) and UCLA scores(p=.026). Two shoulders in each group developed redislocation. There were no significant differences in the loss of external rotation and return to prior activity between the two groups(p>.05). The residual instability occurred more frequently in the group of patients with lesser anchors. Arthroscopic suture anchor capsulorraphy has results equal to or better than the open Bankart procedure.
