It is well known that the essential pathology in traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder is the avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament complex from the glenoid rim, However, there were some reports that the avulsion can occur from the humeral attachment site. We have experienced a 42-year-old man who had complained of persistent shoul­der pain after traffic accident and showed the instability on physical examination. The MR arthrogram and arthro­scopic surgery revealed the avulsion of glenohumeral ligament from the humeral attachment site. We repaired the lesion using the suture anchor through the anterior axillary approach and had a good result after 1 year.

Purpose: To evaluate the result of arthroscopic modified Brostrom procedure with suture anchor for chronic lateral ankle instability. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two patients with chronic lateral ankle instability were analyzed, who underwent arthroscopic modified Brostrom procedure between December 2010 and May 2012. Clinical evaluation was performed using AOFAS scroring and Sefton grading system. Results: The average AOFAS hind foot score increased from preoperative 61.9 to 88.8 at the last follow up. There were 35 excellent, 9 good, 4 fair, 4 poor results according to Sefton grading system. For one patient, lateral ankle instability recurred. Conclusion: Arthroscopic modified Brostrom procedure is considered to be an effective and satisfactory technique.

Ultrasound (US) imaging is an efficient, easy to use, rapid, dynamic, noninvasive, with rare side-effects and inexpensive tool allowing for facilitated diagnosis and management of the painful shoulder. It also has advantages over other imaging modalities in the evaluation of the postoperative shoulder for rotator cuff integrity and correct anchor and suture placement, as well as rotator cuff analysis following repair surgery. Early postoperative tendons frequently had a hypo- echoic echo texture and the absence of a fibrillar pattern, which might be misinterpreted as recurrent tears. however, these features often normalized into tendons with an increased echo texture and the reappearance of a fibrillar pattern at 6 months. Based on these sequential findings, the US findings within 3 months after surgery should be interpreted with caution to accurately understand and monitor the repaired tendon status.

Intraoperative periprosthetic humeral fractures are a rare but debilitating complication of reverse shoulder arthroplasty and can occur during multiple stages of the procedure. Prior biceps tenodesis has been found to reduce cortical humeral strength and predispose the patient to humeral fracture. We present a case of a 68-year-old female with a previous history of biceps tenodesis due to an irreparable rotator cuff tear. Months later, and after symptoms persisted, a reverse shoulder arthroplasty was performed. During the surgery and while performing final reduction, a fracture line was observed involving the hole used for the previous tenodesis procedure. The fracture was repaired, and the patient reported favorable outcomes. We report several factors that might have contributed to sustenance of this intraoperative fracture including prior biceps tenodesis, use of a press fit humeral stem, and the sex of the patient. Level of evidence: V.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes after fixation using a 3.5-mm locking compression plate (LCP) hook plate for isolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures of the proximal humerus. Methods: We evaluated the postoperative radiological and clinical outcomes in nine patients who were followed up at least 1 year with isolated GT fractures. Using the deltopectoral approach, we fixed the displaced GT fragments with a 3.5-mm LCP hook plate (Synthes, West Chester, PA, USA). Depending on the fracture patterns, the hook plate was fixed with or without augmentation using either tension suture or suture anchor fixation. Results: All the patient showed successful bone union. The mean time-to-union was 11 weeks. The radiological and clinical outcomes at the final follow-up were generally satisfactory. The mean visual analogue scale for pain, the University of California at Los Angeles score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and the subjective shoulder value were 1.4, 30.3, 84.3, and 82.2%, respectively. The mean active forward flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation of the shoulder were $156.7^{\circ}$, $152.2^{\circ}$, $61.1^{\circ}$, and the 10th thoracic vertebral level, respectively. Only one patient presented with a postoperative complication of shoulder stiffness. The patient was treated through arthroscopic capsular release on the 5th postoperative month. Conclusions: We conclude that fixation using 3.5-mm LCP hook plates for isolated GT fractures of the proximal humerus is a useful treatment method that provides satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes.

목적: 방카르트 병변을 동반한 견관절 전방 불안정증에 대한 관절경적 치료에서 흡수성 매듭 봉합 나사못 과 흡수성 비매듭 봉합 나사못의 임상결과를 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본연구는 흡수성 매듭 봉합 나사못과 흡수성 비 매듭 봉합 나사못을 이용하여 관절경적 방카르트 봉합술을 시행 받고, 1년 이상 추적관찰이 가능했던 111명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 흡수성 매듭 봉합 나사못 이용한 환자군(KT군)은 59명, 흡수성 비 매듭 봉합 나사못(KL군)을 이용한 환자 군은 52명이였다. 평균 추적 관찰 기간은 각각 25.9개월과 37.0개월이었다. 임상적 평가는 통증의 주관적 시각 척도(visual analogue scale for pain, VAS for pain), 관절 운동 범위, Rowe score, American shoulder and elbow surgeons (ASES) score, 그리고 재탈구율을 측정, 비교하였다. 결과: 주관적 시각척도에 의한 통증의 정도는 흡수성 매듭 봉합 나사못을 이용한 환자 군은 평균 0.5점, 흡수성 비 매듭 봉합 나사못을 이용한 환자 군은 0.8점이었고(p=0.250), 수술 후 관절 운동 범위 제한은 매듭 흡수성 매듭 봉합 나사못을 이용한 환자 군에서는 발견되지 않았고, 흡수성 비 매듭 봉합 나사못을 이용한 환자 군에서는 1예가 발생하였다. Rowe score는 각각 평균 94.3점 및 96.3점(p=0.412), ASES score는 각각 97.29점과 94.03점이었다(p=0.052). 술 후 재 탈구는 KT군에서 4예, KL군에서는 1예가 있었으며 양 군에서 재 탈구 빈도는 통계적 의의가 발견되지 않았다(p>0.05). 결론: 흡수성 매듭 봉합 나사못과 흡수성 비 매듭 봉합 나사못을 이용한 방카르트 병변 봉합술은 임상적으로 우수한 결과를 보였으며 본 연구에서는 두 방법 사이에 재 탈구 율을 포함한 결과의 차이를 발견할 수 없었다.

Background: To evaluate the efficacy of the subclavian portal approach for the arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tendon tear. Methods: We used the subclavian portal to carry out arthroscopic repair of the isolated subscapularis tendon tear. The surgery was carried out in 18 cases (average age of 53) from May 2006 to December 2009 with a mean follow-up period of 35 months. Of these cases, 13 patients had the tear in their dominant arms, 16 were male, and 12 were from traumatic ruptures with on average 7.6 months of symptom period to operation. Additional surgery, acromioplasty and subacromial debridement, were carried out on 4 cases each during the subscapularis repair. The integrity of cuff status was assessed by ultrasonographic examination at 6 months and at 1 year after operation. Results: The initial average range of motion in forward flexion, external rotation, and internal rotation were $160^{\circ}$, $50^{\circ}$ and L4, respectively. At the 1 year follow-up period, these improved to $160^{\circ}$, $52^{\circ}$ and T12, respectively. The initial average functional scores were assessed by KSS, ASES, UCLA, and Constant scoring systems, which were 67, 60, 26, and 65, respectively. These scores improved progressively with time. At 3 months after operation, the scores were 74, 67, 27, and 74; at 6 months, 83, 77, 31, and 75; at 1 year, 88, 86, 32, and 79; and at the final follow-up of 35 months, 84, 92, 34, and 84. Conclusions: In the repair of isolated subscapularis tendon tear, the subclavian portal approach provided a good angle for anchor insertion and sufficient space to manage the upper portion of the tendon tear. In turn, these provisions resulted in satisfactory clinical results.

Calcaneal apophysitis is a relatively common disease in young athletes. On the other hand, if not treated properly, it can lead to apophyseal avulsion fracture in rare cases. In the case of apophyseal avulsion fractures, it is often necessary to remove or preserve the bone fragment, which often requires a suture of the Achilles tendon. A 10-year-old badminton athlete visited the outpatients' clinic with pain in both heels from 10 months ago without any trauma history. After conservative therapy, the pain in the left heel was relived but the right heel pain persisted. After 10 months of conservative therapy, the patient visited the outpatients' clinic showing a calcaneal apophyseal avulsion fracture with a total rupture of the Achilles tendon. In the operation room, a bone fragment needed to be removed because of its poor viability and the fragment was too thin for fixation. After removing the bone fragment, the ruptured Achilles tendon was fixed with an anchor system.
