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. However, there are reports that the avulsion can occurs from the humeral attachments. We have experienced the 42 year-old male patient who had a traumatic lateral avulsion of the subscapularis and glenohumeral capsule from the humerus and reported the results of treatment.

The electromyographic activity of four muscles of biceps, rotator cuffs (supraspinatus, infraspinatus and subscapularis) was measured from the non-dominant shoulders of 12 volunteers during six methods of provocative test for the biceps pathology. Any method of provocative test can not isolates the biceps activity prominently compared to the other rotator cuff muscles. But the Speed test can more isolates the activity of biceps than the other tests. Based upon this study, we think that the O'Brien's test is not a provocative maneuver by which the pain reproduced is not associated with the tension generated within the biceps tendon.

$\cdot$ Arthroscopic management is the effective method with acceptable results for coronoid impingement of stiff elbow contributing to the functional improvement and pain relief.$\cdot$ The functional improvement and pain relief seem to be affected by the severity of a degenerative change of the elbow joint.$\cdot$ Excision of coronoid process is required in a marked limitation of further flexion in addition to deeping of the coronoid fossa and anterior capsular release.$\cdot$ Excision of olecranon tip or posterior capsular release are effective method in severe flexion contracture. -

$\cdot$ Although the surgical repair of massive tears of the rotator cuff is demanding procedure, the results are rewarding if technical principles are strictly followed$\cdot$ But structual healing does not parallel to technically successful repair of tears . Alternatives to direct repair might be considered for irrepairable massive tears
