소절개 봉합술은 관혈적 봉합술에 비해 동반된 관절와 상완 관절(glenohumeral joint) 내의 병변을 확인하고 이에 대한 처치를 시행할 수 있으며, 견봉하 감압술과 함께 동반된 견봉 쇄골 관절의 병변을 치료할 수 있다. 또한 삼각근 기시부에 대한 손상을 최소화하기 때문에 빠른 재활과 조기 퇴원을 시행할 수 있는 등의 장점이 있다 관절경적 봉합술에 비해서는 수술 술기가 어렵지 않기 때문에 항상 좋은 결과를 기대할 수 있다 회전근 개 파열에 대한 수술을 시행할 때 관절경적 봉합술이 모든 경우에서 관혈적 또는 소절개 봉합술에 비해 좋은 결과를 나타내는 것은 아니다. 환자가 심한 골다공증이 있는 경우, 기술적 문제가 있는 경우, 봉합 후 회전근 개에 지나친 긴장이 염려될 때는 항상 소절개 봉합술로의 전환을 시도하여야 한다. 소절개 봉합술을 시행한 경우에도 관절경적 봉합술시와 비슷한 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있고, 치료의 결과는 수술의 방법보다는 정확한 술기 및 수술 전 환자의 상태에 좌우된다고 하겠다.

We present an unusual case of bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma around orthopedic implants in a 78-year-old female with osteolytic, expansile, highly vascularized, malignant infiltration around suture anchors in the proximal humerus. The patient had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using suture anchor implants 6 years previously. After diagnosis of bone metastasis, she was successfully treated with metastasectomy and internal fixation using a plate and screws, with cement augmentation. This report is the first to document metastases around a suture anchor in a bone and suggests the vulnerability of suture anchor implants to tumor metastasis.

Purpose: This paper analyzes the results of arthroscopic bankart repair for anterior recurrent dislocation following a trauma on shoulder. Material and Methods: The subjects were twenty-three (23) cases that were available to follow up for more than eighteen months during the period from November 2001 to June 2003 and were chosen from patients to whom arthroscopic bankart repair was applied using a knotless suture anchor for their traumatic anterior recurrent dislocation on the shoulder. Their average age was 28 (ranging from 15 to 60) with 20 males and 3 females. The injury from sports activities accounted for the most cases with 14 subjects. The average follow-up period was 27 months (ranging from 18 months to 35 months). There were 19 cases of bankart lesions, 4 cases of ALPSA lesions and associated with 5 cases of partial tear in the rotator cuff. The anchors employed were knotless anchor (Mitek) for all the cases. Rowe scoring scale was adopted to judge the results after operations. Patients' subjective satisfaction and range of motion of external rotation were addressed together. Results: Rowe scores showed that 20 cases (87%) reaches the level of 'good' and hinger. The average patients' satisfaction accounted for 90 points out of 100. It was also found that external rotations averagely decreased by 6.5 degree when the range of motion was in at the side. Conclusion: There were satisfactory results of arthroscopic bankart repair using knotless suture anchors as an operative treatment for traumatic anterior recurrent dislocation on shoulder.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term clinical outcome of the capsulolabral repair using absorbable suture anchor in traumatic anterior instability of shoulder. Materials and Methods: From June 2000 to September 2001, 15 shoulders with recurrent anterior instability were operated with arthroscopic Bankart repair using absorbable suture-anchor 'PANALOK' (Mitek, westwood, MA), and were followed up over 1 year (average; 13 months). The mean age was 23-years. There were fourteen males and one female. The mean duration from the initial symptoms to the operation was 24 months. Associated pathologies were Hill-Sachs defect in 12 cases, SLAP in 6 cases, and partial rotator cuff tear in 2 cases. The results were evaluated by patien's satisfaction, Modified Rowe Score in regard to joint stability, mobility, pain and function in comparison with the preoperative ones, and other complications. Results: At the last follow-up, the total Rowe Score increased from 38 points to 92 points. There were no recurrence and 14 patients among 15 patients gained pre-operative level of sports activity and no other complications. Conclusion: Effective capsulolabral repair could be obtained by the absorbable anchoring without any untoward complications. This procedure is simple and safe one and this system can be a good substitute for the metallic anchor.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual status of antithrombotic management before and after the procedure or surgery, the difference between the duration of medication suspension by clinical and demographic characteristics, and the patient's understanding and satisfaction after medication management by a dedicated nurse. The results were as follows. The most commonly used antithrombotic agents were aspirin and flavitol. The drug discontinuation period according to antithrombotic, procedures, and underlying diseases, there was a significant difference in duration for each variables(p<.000). In the case of antiplatelet drugs, 5-day suspension was the most frequent, and anticoagulants 2-day suspension was the most frequent. Depending on the procedure,colonoscope,nucleoplasty,rotator cuff repair,and total knee arthroplasty commonly showed more than 80% of 5-day discontinuation. The differences according to underlying diseases are as follows. 64.7% of all diseases discontinued on the 5th. The patient's understanding of the nurse's medication management performed before and after the procedure was found to be lower in Angina patients than those with other diseases. In terms of age, those in their 50s showed higher understanding than other age groups. There were no differences in understanding and satisfaction with the remaining characteristics.

Background: The Friends and Family Test (FFT) developed by the UK National Health Service evaluates whether patients are satisfied with a service provided, where improvements are needed, and how likely patients are to recommend the intervention. Calculated from the FFT, the Net Promoter Score (NPS) creates a recommendation metric for treatment. The primary aim of this prospective study is to evaluate NPS for arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) and rotator cuff repair (RCR). Secondary aims are to postoperatively evaluate 1-year changes in patients' Oxford Shoulder Scores (OSSs) in terms of the proportion of patients satisfied with their surgery and correlation with FFT. Methods: During a 2-year period, all patients undergoing ASD or RCR completed questionnaires prospectively. Collected preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 year. Results: NPSs were 31 for ASD (n=32) and 52 for RCR (n=39). OSSs increased by 4.3 and 6.9 for ASD and RCR, respectively (P<0.001). Overall, 75% of ASD and 77% of RCR patients were either "satisfied" or "very satisfied," respectively, with procedure outcomes. Scores from FFT had a positive correlation with improvement in OSS and satisfaction scores among patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgeries (P<0.001). Conclusions: The current study shows positive NPS outcomes in patients with ASD and RCR. Scores from FFT correlate well with both satisfaction and OSS among patients. NPS can be an adjunct to traditional patient-reported outcome measures to provide global evaluation of patient experiences to aid in determining the clinical value of common procedures in shoulder orthopaedics. Level of evidence: III.

Background: Isolated infraspinatus tear is very rare and clinical features are not as well known, therefore the purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of isolated infraspinatus tear that authors experienced. Methods: Authors reviewed 288 cases of full-thickness rotator cuff tear involving infraspinatus between 2010 and 2015, and retrospectively analyzed six cases of isolated infraspinatus tear. Perioperative clinical characteristics, postoperative functional outcomes of 6 months were investigated. Functional evaluation included visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motions, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and Constant score. Results: Calcific tendinitis was accompanied in 4 cases (66.7%). Three of them received steroid injection or aspiration or extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Mean preoperative pain VAS was 7.1 (range, 5-9), and mean postoperative pain VAS at 6 months later was 1.6 (range, 0-5). Preoperative muscle strength by isokinetic muscle performance test showed 52% deficit of abduction and 37.6% deficit of external rotation. All 6 patients had arthroscopic repair of the infraspinatus tendon. All the patients at the 6 months follow-up exhibited clinical improvement in the Constant score (67.8 [range, 45-77] to 89.3 [range, 81-100], p=0.029), and ASES score (52.3 [range, 30-77] to 90.0 [range, 80-100], p=0.002). There was no healing failure on imaging. Conclusions: Isolated infraspinatus tendon tear was frequently accompanied by calcific tendinitis, but pathophysiologic relationship should need more study. To rule out neurogenic etiology, magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography would be helpful. Arthroscopic infraspinatus tendon repair and supraspinatus debridement showed relatively good result in painful shoulder.
