The results of open capsular shift(Group 1) and arthroscopic trans glenoid Bankart repair(Group 2) for the recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder were compared. During a 4-year period, 25 patients were surgically treated. Fourteen shoulders had open Bankart procedure and capsular shift, and II shoulders were treated arthroscopically. A Bankart lesion was found in 12 out of 14 patients in Group I and all 11 patients in Group 2. Average follow-up period was 46 months for Group 1 and 23.4 months for Group 2. Group 1 showed 71.4% good to excellent results with 1 recurrent dislocation. Group 2 showed 90.9% good to excellent results with no recurrent dislocation. The cause of less favorable results of Group I compared with Group 2 was loss of external rotation postoperatively. The study showed that the results of arthroscopic Bankart repair was comparable to the open capsular shift in terms of stability, and the postoperative function was better than open capsular shift.

The following will describe a method of evaluating the SLAP lesion in the recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder. We have named it the biceps load test. The biceps load test is performed with the patient in the supine position and the arm to be examined is abducted 90/sup°/, and the forearm is in the supinated position. First, the anterior apprehension test is performed. When the patient become apprehensive, the patient is allowed active flexion of the elbow, while the examiner resists elbow flexion. If the apprehension is relieved or diminished, the test is negative. If aggravated or unchanged, the test is positive. A prospective study was performed, in which 75 patients who were diagnosed as having recurrent unilateral anterior instability of the shoulder underwent the biceps load test and arthroscopic examination. The biceps load test showed negative results in 64 of these patients, of which the superior labral-biceps complex was intact'in 63 cases and only I shoulder revealed a type n SLAP lesion. E]even patients with a positive test were confirmed to have type n SLAP lesions. A positive biceps load test represents an unstable SLAP lesion in a patient with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder. The biceps load test is a reliable test for evaluating the SLAP lesion in the recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder(sensitivity: ,9] .7%, specificity: 100%, positive predictive value: 1.00 and negative predictive value: 0.98). Biceps contraction increases the torsional rigidity ?of the glenohumeral joint and long head of biceps tendan act as internal rotator of the shoulder in the abducted and externally rotated position. These stabilize the shoulder in abduction and external rotation position in the biceps load test.

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.

Recurrent dislocation of elbow joint occurs relatively rarely by the injury of the collateral ligament which contributes elbow joint stability. Among them, posterolateral rotatory instability occurs by the injury to the lateral ulnar collateral ligament. We experienced a case of recurrent dislocation of elbow joint due to posterolateral rotatory instability. We treated operatively with lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction using the palmaris longus tendon by technique of Nestor et al. We report it with literature analysis.

Chronic recurrent peroneal dislocation often responds poorly to conservative treatment. Surgical treatment has been reported to be more effective than conservative treatment, and various surgical treatment methods are available: superior peroneal retinaculum repair or reattachment, peroneal groove deepening procedures, rerouting procedures, or bone block procedures. Although various treatment options have been reported, there is no consensus regarding which treatment is better. This paper proposes a distal fibular rotational plasty that can prevent recurrent peroneal dislocations and recover its function well by securing a stable peroneal tendon excursion space.

The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of Korean medicine treatment in combination with intra-articular bee venom injection and needle-embedding therapy on recurrent patellar dislocation in patient. The Patient, diagnosed as recurrent patellar dislocation, was treated by Korean medicine treatment in combination with intra-articular bee venom injection and needle-embedding therapy. Visual analogue scale (VAS), knee flexion range of motion (ROM), Korean Western Ontario and Mcmaster Universities arthritis index (K-WOMAC) were used to measure changes during treatment. After treatment, VAS, knee flexion ROM, K-WOMAC were improved significantly. The Korean medicine treatment in combination with intra-articular bee venom injection and needle-embedding therapy was proved to be helpful to improve the symptoms of the recurrent patellar dislocation.

Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in recurrent or habitual type temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation. One Recurrent or habitual type TMJ dislocation case was managed with the Yinyang Balancing Appliance on TMJ, combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and clinical observations. The patient showed positive changes even after the initial treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. Although it is not clear the effect is sustaining or temporary in its nature, a positive effect was observed and further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.

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.

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.

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
