Purpose: This study seeks to address the results of percutaneous lateral release and medial reefing for patients with recurrent patellar dislocation. Materials and Methods: This paper focuses on 27 cases from 25 patients who had a surgical operation at our hospital in a span of eight years and six months from the time of December 1996 to May 2005. The subjects consist of 11 males and 14 females, and their average age was 22.2 years old. All the patients had their trauma history, and the average frequency of dislocation before surgery was 11.5 times. Results: The congruence angle before operation was 23.3 degree on the average, while the lateral patellofemoral angle was -5.7 degree on average. However, the congruence angle after surgery came to -2.4 degree, while the lateral patellofemoral angle recovered to the normal range of within 11.5 degrees. Four cases showed the recurrent dislocation, and two out of those four cases had -35, -12 degrees of their lateral patellofemoral angle respectively and 59, 14 degrees of their congruence angle respectively. Conclusion: Using percutaneous lateral release with medial reefing can be considered as an effective treatment for recurrent patellar dislocation

We report a case of recurrent shoulder dislocation and combined proximal humerus fracture in neurofibromatosis type I. A twenty-year-old male patient with known neurofibromatosis type I presented with right shoulder dislocation and proximal humerus fracture following a minor trauma. His injured arm also had large plexiform neurofibromas on the elbow, and the dislocation of the shoulder joint was proven to be recurrent. Bony deformation of the humerus and scapula were revealed on X-ray and computed tomography, as well as multiple neurofibromatic changes of the deltoid and periscapular muscles were noted on magnetic resonance imaging. Open reduction and capsular reconstruction were performed and humeral fracture was stabilized with a reconstruction plate. Satisfactory union and functional result were achieved and the dislocation did not recur until the 7-month followup after the procedure. Recurrent shoulder dislocation and combined proximal humerus fracture in neurofibromatosis type I are rare complications. However, it should still be considered in the orthopaedic evaluation process of the diseases.

Hill-Sachs lesion is the most common lesion in shoulder dislocation patient and it represented by postero-lateral bony defect of humerus. The lesion could be found in patients who dislocate shoulder joint first time, and it is reported that Hill-Sachs lesion proportionally increases as dislocation does. The location and presence of Hill-Sachs lesion play significant roles in shoulder instability. Authors experienced a double Hill-Sachs lesion in a recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation patient, and thereby report the case with a review of the literature.

Mechanism of the peroneal tendon dislocation is mainly the ankle trauma and commonly caused by severe peroneal tendon contraction at ankle dorsiflexion state. Peroneal tendon tears are frequently combined in recurrent dislocation. The peroneal tendon dislocation from the fibula groove can be confirmed with ultrasound scanning. Recurrent dislocation needs surgical treatment and usually gains good clinical outcome with fibula groove deepening procedure. Tibialis anterior tendon rupture is frequently found in old age but active patients who had tendency of tendon weakness due to chronic tendon attrition, repeated steroid injection, diabetic tendinopathy or inflammatory arthropathy.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of percutaneous lateral release and arthroscopic medial plication for patients with recurrent patella dislocation. Materials and Methods: This study includes the thirty-one cases of patients who have had a surgical operation from March 2001 to March 2008. All the patients had recurrent patella dislocation after trauma history. The average age was 24.2 years old and the average follow up was 47.4 months (minimum 24 months). Results: The preoperative congruence angle, lateral patellofemoral angle, Lysholm score was $24.8^{\circ}$, $-6.2^{\circ}$, 75 points on average respectively. However, the postoperative congruence angle, lateral patellofemoral angle, Lysholm score was improved to normal range: $-2.8^{\circ}$, $10.2^{\circ}$, 95 points on average. Five cases showed the recurrent dislocation after operation. Among them, three cases showed femoral trochlear dysplasia. Conclusion: Percutaneous lateral release and arthroscopic medial plication showed satisfactory results for recurrent patella dislocation with low complication rate. However, in cases with femoral trochlear dysplasia, another surgical treatment may be considered.

Purpose: These case reports have been prepared to highlight the uncommon occurrence of anterior shoulder dislocation after an epileptic seizure, the recognition of which is important as this type of injury is associated with bony lesions and a high incidence of recurrence. Materials and Methods: We report two cases of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder due to grand mal epilepsy. These cases were treated as usual anterior dislocations of the shoulder, and were regularly followed to detect any recurrence of shoulder instability. Results: Outcome of the surgery in the two cases was different because of the differences in seizure control. In the patient in whom seizures were well-controlled, there was no recurrence of instability, while the patient with poorly controlled seizures developed a recurrence of the dislocation following shoulder repair. Conclusion: The authors emphasize the need to control seizures in order to prevent injury recurrence in this subset of patients.

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.
