  • Suture anchors are commonly used in shoulder surgeries, especially for rotator cuff tears. Peri-anchor cyst formation, however, is sometimes detected on follow-up radiologic image after surgery. The purpose of this report is to discuss the case of a patient who presented with regression of extensive peri-anchor cyst on postoperative 4-year follow-up magnetic resonance imaging and had good clinical outcome despite peri-anchor cyst formation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

  • Various biceps tenodesis techniques being used, make it difficult to compare the result of reports. First, the biceps tenodesis could be classified according to being performed by open incision or by the arthroscopic procedure. Second, it could be classified as a soft tissue and bony tenodesis according to the tissue which the long head of biceps is fixed with. Third, it could be classified as a proximal and distal tenodesis according to the location which the long head of biceps is fixed with. Fourth, it could be classified according to the implant (interference screw, suture anchor, knotless suture anchor). A decision should be suspended until an appropriate strength of tenodesis is revealed.

  • 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.

  • Retear patterns after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair are classified into two patterns according to retear location. Type 1 is when the retear pattern occurs directly on the tendon at the bone repair site using the suture anchor repair method. Type 2 is when the retear pattern occurs at the musculocutaneous junction with a healed footprint in patients who undergo the suture bridge method. Here, the authors report another retear pattern, which was identified as a type 2 retear on magnetic resonance imaging in patients who had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by the suture-bridge technique. This pattern was different from the type 2 retear and occurred at the portion of the cuff away from the healed rotator cuff under the view of the arthroscope.
