후방십자인대 손상의 이상적 치료는 아직까지도 확립되지 않았다. 과거 몇 십 년간 후방십자인대에 대한 지식과 슬관절 안정성에 대한 후방십자인대의 생역학에 대한 지식이 증가하였다. 특히 이중 다발에 대한 지식이 증가하고 이러한 모든 노력들은 후방십자인대의 해부학적인 특징을 최대한 복원하기 위해 이루어졌다. 재건술의 수술 방법은 특정 손상 양상에 따라 그에 맞게 이루어지는데 만성 손상의 경우나 remnant가 거의 존재하지 않는 경우에는 이중 다발을 재건하는 것이 만족스러운 결과를 보인다. 아직까지 이중 다발 후방십자인대 재건술의 결과에 대해서는 논란이 많은 것은 사실이나 장기 추시가 가능해지면 이중 다발 후방십자인대 재건술이 해부학적으로나 생역학적으로 더욱 정상에 가깝기 때문에 더 나은 장기적 결과를 보여줄 것으로 예상된다.

Ideal rotator cuff repair is to maintain high fixation strength and minimize gap formation for optimizing the environment of biologic healing of tendon to bone. Among the current repair techniques, the suture bridge technique is superior to single- or double-row repair in ultimate load to failure, gap formation, restoring anatomical footprint and achieving pressurized contact area. The suture bridge technique also minimizes gap formation and has rotational and torsional resistances allowing early rehabilitation. However, despite superior biomechanical characteristics of the suture bridge technique, there is no evidence that these mechanical advantages result in better clinical outcomes. Furthermore, there is no difference in failure rates between the double-row repair and suture bridge techniques. An appropriate repair technique should be determined based on tear size and pattern and tendon quality.

Purpose: To report the clinical results of patients treated for a rupture of the distal tendon of biceps brachii Materials and Methods: Between February 1987 and March 2004, we treated 16 patients with a rupture of the distal tendon of biceps brachii. 9 of 16 patients underwent surgical treatment. All cases were male, median age was 26.3(range, 16-48) years. The mean interval between injury and surgery was 4.7 days (range, 1~36 days). Operative correction was performed anatomically, using the two-incision technique(3 cases) or one-incision technique(6 cases). Clinical outcomes were evaluated one year after operation by assessing the review about the physical examination finding and radiologic findings with surgical findings, range of motion, muscle strength, subjective satisfaction, activity and return to previous occupation. and via telephone interview in cases of conservative treatment. Results: In cases of surgical treatment, 85.8%, 86.3% of flexion-extension and supination-pronation motion than healthy side were measured respectively. 75% of flexion power than healthy side was measured. Eight of nine(89%) were very satisfied. Eightl of nine returned to original job. In cases of conservative treatment, 65% of flexion power than pre-injury state was reported. Four of seven were satisfied, two were dissatisfied, one was very dissatisfied. Three of seven returned to original job. Conclusion: Early anatomic reconstruction can restore more strength and endurance for supination and flexion range and power. Conservative management may be considered for partial injuries, but operative repair must be considered in complete rupture, athletes, patient with high activity.

Purpose: We reviewed arthroscopic reconstruction among the several treatment options for anterior shoulder instability with a bony Bankart lesion. Materials and Methods: Although open Bankart repair has long been considered the optimal surgical management of anterior shoulder instability, advancements in arthroscopic techniques have led to a recent shift to arthroscopic Bankart repair. However, for cases of a glenoid bony defect, several authors have reported various methods to accurately measure the amount of bony defect. Results: The arthroscopic technique of bony Bankart reconstruction continues to evolve and various methods have followed. To overcome the limitations of single fixation of a Bankart lesion, arthroscopic dual fixation (2 point fixation) has recently been tried to anatomically repair and restore the rigid fixation of a bony fragment. The concept of performing the Bristow-Latarjet transfer procedure under arthroscopy has also recently emerged. However, a large series of cases and long term follow up are required to prove the better results. Conclusion: To obtain a successful outcome for patients with anterior instability with a glenoid bony defect, it is imperative that the surgeon be aware of the accurate status of the bony defect and the intraoperative, postoperative factors associated with the proper treatment of this unstable pathology.

Purpose: The goal of prosthetic replacement of the shoulder is the restoration of the normal anatomy of the joint. Materials and Methods: The physician should review the variations in normal anatomy because it does vary widely and the placement of the prosthetic needs to be modified to accommodate the variations. Results and Conclusion: Several factors including anatomic, prosthetic and surgical ones can lead to the best clinical results, and these are described.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tendon healing of arthroscopic repair in full-thickness supraspinatus tears. We evaluate the effectiveness of the arthroscopic repair of full-thickness supraspinatus tears by assessing functional improvement. Materials and Methods: Thirty consecutive full-thickness supraspinatus tears were repaired arthroscopically in 19 patients with a one row of anchor and 11 patients with two rows of anchors. Patients ranged in age from 51 to 79 years (average 63 years). Average follow-up was 16 month (range, 12 to 28 months). To evaluate the effectiveness of the arthroscopic repair of full-thickness supraspinatus tears by assessing functional improvement, we calculate the Constant, ASES, UCLA scores. The 30 patients had either an MR Arthrogram (25 cases) or an MRI (5 cases), performed between 5 months and 20 months (mean 10 months) after surgery. Results: The cuff was healed in 21/30 cases (70%) and partially torn in 3 cases (10%) after the arthroscopic repair of full-thickness supraspinatus tear. Although the supraspinatus tendon was totally torn to the tuberosity in 6 cases(20%) after the arthroscopic repair, the size of the tear was smaller than the initial in 5 cases. The Constant score improved from an average of $55.7{\pm}7.1$ points preoperatively to $77.7{\pm}9.7$ points at the last follow-up (p<0.001), and the average ASES score improved from $39.2{\pm}7.4\;to\;72.4{\pm}12.6$ (p<0.001), and the average UCLA score improved from $17.9{\pm}2.2\;to\;26.8{\pm}5.0$ (p<0.001). Strength of elevation was significantly better $(7.1kgs{\pm}2.4)$ in the shoulders with a healed tendon that in those with an total or partial re-tear tendon $(4.5kgs{\pm}1.0)$ (p<0.05). Factors adversely affecting tendon healing were increasing age, Only 41.7% of the repairs completely healed in patients over 65 years (p<0.05). Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair of isolated full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus leads to completely healing in 70% of the cases. Total or partial re-tear of the repaired rotator cuff is associated with a decreased strength. Older patients had significantly lower healing rates.

Recurrence is the most common complication after shoulder instability surgery, and the main causes of the postoperative recurrence of instability are trauma, misdiagnosis, and technical errors. The risk factors of recurrence may be classified as patient related, anatomical or technical. Causes of failure should be thoroughly evaluated by meticulous history taking, physical examination, and imaging studies, and followed by proper treatment of pathologic lesions. Nonoperative treatment should be considered initially in cases of recurred instability after shoulder instability surgery, but if this fails, repeated recurrence is prevented by performing appropriate anatomical reconstruction of ruptured Bankart lesions, capsular laxities, glenoid deficiencies and humeral head bone defects.

We introduce arthroscopic Bankart repair technique using antegrade suture passer that can effectively restore detached anteroinferior capsulolabral complex for shoulder anterior instability. After diagnostic arthroscopy is performed using posterior, anteroinferior and anterosuperior portals, we confirm Bankart lesion and perform debridement and decortications of anteroinferior glenoid edge and neck. Suture anchor is inserted through anteroinferior portal at 2 mm medial side of glenoid edge (4:30 direction). Scorpion$^{TM}$ loaded suture is directly advanced to detached and retracted anteroinferior capsulolabral complex and the suture is passed at 10~15 mm medial side of detached anteroinferior capsulolabral complex (5:30 direction). The suture is retrieved by Scorpion's hook and then is tied using samsung medical center (SMC) sliding knot technique. Then suture anchors are serially inserted (2:30, 3:30) and capsulolabral complex repair is performed using suture hook and suttle-relay technique. This technique that can obtain anatomical restoration of anteroinferior glenohumeral ligament with proper tension is useful technique to reduce postoperative recurrence and makes it possible for less experienced surgeons.
