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: We wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of inferior capsular plication for treating the anterior instability of the shoulder by comparing the prospective outcomes and the incidence of complications of the group (group1) that underwent arthroscopic vertical shift of the anteroinferior capsulo-labral complex and plication of the anterior band of inferior glenohumeral ligament and the group (group2) that underwent inferior capsular plication that was augmentated by the same method. Materials and Methods: From March 2005 to August 2007, we compared group 1 (42 cases) that underwent arthroscopic vertical shift of the anteroinferior capsulo-labral complex and plication of the anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament and group 2 (33 cases) that underwent augmentated inferior capsular plication for recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder. The mean age was 22.5 years (range: 17~31 years) in group I, and 21.8 years (range: 16~30 years) in group II. The mean follow up was 23.5 months (range: 12~45 months in group I, and 20.1 months (range: 12~49 months) in group II. We checked the Rowe score and ROM preoperatively and at postoperative 6 months, 1 year and at the last follow up and we compared the incidence of complications. Results: The Rowe score increased from a preoperative mean of 20.6 to the last follow up mean of 86.8 after surgery in group I, and the Rowe score increased from a preoperative mean of 20.5 to the last follow up mean of 94.1 after surgery in group II. For the anterior instability of the shoulder, arthroscopic reconstruction had a good outcome in all of the cases, but group II had better outcomes and less complications than did group I (p<0.05). Conclusion: We thought that arthroscopic vertical shift of the anteroinferior capsulo-labral complex and plication of the anterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament with inferior capsular plication can lower the complication rate and show better outcomes.

전방 불안정성의 수술적 치료의 목적은 안정성을 회복하고 동통 없는 기능 회복에 있으나 이러한 목적과는 달리 여러 합병증이 발생하여 결과가 불량하게 되는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 따라서 치료의 실패를 줄이기 위해 최대한 노력하여야 하며, 일단 실패가 발생하게 되면 정확한 원인과 해부학적 병적 상태를 정확히 파악하여야 보다 좋은 치료 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

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.
