Various forms of anteroinferior labral lesions were seen in patients with traumatic anterior dislocation of shoulder. The recurrent dislocation group showed a significantly higher prevalence of anteroinferior labral lesions and bony lesions in comparison with the primary group. In our study, magnetic resonance arthrography was an accurate method to assess accompanying lesions in first-time and recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, suggesting that this may be a useful tool for determini

Many options have been developed to treat irreparable massive cuff tears. Superior capsular reconstruction has been reported as one of the treatment options for relatively young patients with irreparable massive cuff tear. However, this original technique has a disadvantage of requiring a tensor facia lata autograft. It requires another incision at the lateral thigh and can be a cause of thigh pain. This article describes our modified technique for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction us

Level IV, retrospective case series.

The double-row repair may be advantageous compared with the single-row repair in restoring the native footprint area of the capsulolabral complex.

Retrospective comparative study, Level III.

The PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games had the highest number of participants in the history of Winter Olympic Games. Overall 48% of athletes encountered polyclinics due to disease during the Games period. Upper respiratory infection and other seasonal diseases were more frequent this Olympic Games than before. Polyclinics were managed healthcare of athletes as well as injury and illness of athletes. In winter sports, a polyclinic and similar medical facilities should be prepare for diseases consi

Under MRA and arthroscopy performed on patients with acute anterior shoulder dislocation, it was observed to have varying types of anteroinferior labrum lesions such as Perthes, Bankart, ALPSA, and bony Bankart lesion. that MRA is a remarkably useful tool to classify various lesions in acute anterior dislocation of the shoulder and to make a diagnosis, making it a useful tool to decide a treatment method while consulting patients and their families.

Scapular fractures account for approximately 1% of all fractures, and 8% to 10% are acromion fractures. We compared the results of early and delayed treatment for nondisplaced and type III acromion fractures, respectively, to investigate an early treatment method for nondisplaced acromion fractures. Patients treated between March 1999 and March 2006 with 2-year follow-up were selected for the study. The early fixation group comprised 16 patients, and the delayed reconstruction group comprised 18

Many therapies have been developed for patients with mass rotator cuff tears. Partial repair is often performed in patients with partially repairable massive rotator cuff tears because it is simpler to perform than superior capsule reconstruction. It may, however, result in rotator cuff retears frequently. This article presents our modified technique of arthroscopic partial reconstruction of the superior capsule using the long head of the biceps tendon with a biceps interposition.
