Purpose : We report a result of arthroscopic resection after inner-wall staining for treatment of prepatellar bursitis which was not treated conservatively. Materials and Methods : Between January 1996 and October 1998, We treated arthroscopically 11 patients with prepatellar bursitis. Arthroscopic resection was performed with shaver after inner-wall staining using Methylene Blue and then placed continuous suction drainage and compressive dressing. Results : All patients had no tender scars and were able to walk immediately after procedure. We found one case of late infection during follow-up. Conclusion : Arthroscopic bursectomy minimizes the complication of open bursectomy such as pain or large scar. Skin perforation would be prevented by inner-wall staining.

The arthroscopic bony procedures during rotator cuff repair include acromioplasty, distal clavicle resection, footprint preparation and coracoplasty. The indication of each bony procedure is based on the theoretical reasons, and various types of surgical techniques are available. The purpose of this review article is to review the backgrounds of the indication and surgical techniques in the arthroscopic bony procedures during rotator cuff repair.

Purpose : To evaluate effectiveness of arthroscopic distal clavicle resection for chronic stage 2 acromioclavicular dislocation. Material: 6 patients who had failed to respond to physical therapy were evaluate more than 6 months prospectively, which were treated with arthroscopic distal clavicular resection from february 1998 to January 2001. Result : The median preoperative Constant score changed from 32 of 100 to 37 of 100 at 3 to 6 weeks, to 49 of 100 at 3 months and to 69 of 100 at 6months. Improvement was achived at mean follow up more than 6 months after surgery. Overal $83\%$ of patient were satisfied with this procedure. but the remained case was unsatisfied because symptom was not improved more than 6 months Conclusion : Arthroscopic distal clavicle resection is useful method to treatment for chronic stage 2 acromioclavicular dislocation.

Heterotopic ossification is formation of bone in atypical extra-skeletal tissues and usually occurs spontaneously or following neurologic injury with unknown cause. We report a 46-year-old female with right shoulder pain and restricted range of motion (ROM) for 3 months without history of trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lesion within the rotator cuff supraglenoid. Excisional biopsy from a previous institution revealed a heterotopic ossificans (HO). Following repeat MRI and bone scan, histopathology from arthroscopic resection confirmed an HO. The patient demonstrated improved pain and ROM at follow-up. Idiopathic HO rarely occurs in the shoulder joint, and resection of HO should be delayed until maturation of the lesion to avoid recurrence. The current case showed that arthroscopic HO resection provides an excellent surgical view to ensure complete lesion removal and minimize soft tissue damage at the supraglenoid area. Furthermore, the minimally invasive procedure of arthroscopy may reduce rehabilitation time and facilitate early return to work.

Purpose: We reviewed the effectiveness and the result of arthroscopic resection for ganglion cyst of posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) through the posterior trans-septal approach. Material and Method: Seven patients with symptomatic ganglion cyst of the PCL were treated with arthroscopic resection using posterior trans-septal approach. We analyzed advantages of the posterior trans-septal approach and presence of intra articular problem. Knee function was assessed using the lysholm knee scale. Results: The overall result for the 7 knees were very satisfied in all. We found that four of seven patients had intra articular problems, and past history of trauma could be found in 3 cases. The Lysholm knee scale was increased from average 93.3 points preoperatively to average 97.8 points postoperatively. Conclusion: Arthroscopic posterior trans-septal approach shows an effective technique for complete resection of cyst and evaluation of the combined posterior compartment injury.
