Anterior shoulder instability in collision and contact athletes
Publication date: May–August 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 2Author(s): Owen Mattern, Lennard Funk, Michael J. WaltonAbstractGlenohumeral instability is a common problem for the collision and contact athlete. An understanding of the pathoanatomy, aetiology and injury mechanisms can help guide the clinical examination and appropriate investigations. This in turn can help guide appropriate management of patients, with the aim to return them to pre-injury levels of sport. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Remplissage as a concept and role in instability
Publication date: May–August 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 2Author(s): Vivek Pandey, Sandesh MadiAbstractAnterior instability of the shoulder is characterised by bipolar lesions – the Bankart lesion with glenoid bone loss on ‘glenoid side’ and the Hill- Sach’s defect (HSD) on the ‘humeral head’. It is well known that the recurrence of the dislocation is likely to be more frequent even after surgical repair in the presence of these lesions. Currently, by and large, two surgical options are available to address the glenoid side lesion: Bankart repair (soft tissue procedur...

Acromioclavicular arthritis: A review
Publication date: May–August 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 2Author(s): Raju Vaishya, Vijendra Damor, Amit Kumar Agarwal, Vipul VijayAbstractAcromioclavicular arthritis is one of the most common causes of pain around the shoulder joint in middle-aged and elderly population. It is because of early degeneration of the articular cartilage and disc. The disease usually remains asymptomatic, and it presents as an incidental finding on shoulder X-Ray or Magnetic resonance imaging. It can be due to primary degenerative, inflammatory, traumatic and infective arthritis. The patient may also ...

Comparison of psychometric properties of subjective structured assessment instruments of technical performance during knee arthroscopy
ConclusionWe recommend the use of Arthroscopic surgery skill evaluation tool [ASSET] as it demonstrates optimal psychometric properties. The ASSET can be used as gold standard to compare existing outcome assessment tools. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

A simple method for wrist ganglion staining with diluted surgical marking pen ink in arthroscopic resection and avoiding dye leakage-related subcutaneous discoloration
Publication date: January–April 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1Author(s): Hui-Kuang Huang, Jung-Pan Wang, Yi-Chao HuangAbstractArthroscopic resection of the wrist ganglion is commonly performed nowadays, and has a recurrence rate comparable to open excision. It is preferred by some surgeons due to the smaller and more cosmetic operative scar. When using the arthroscopic procedure, identification of the stalk of the ganglion can facilitate accurate resection. In order to achieve this, staining and enhancement of the ganglion through the use of surgical dye injection has been propose...

A unique case of capito-hamate fractures with simultaneous dislocation of third, fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints in a young adult
Publication date: January–April 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1Author(s): Naveen BM, Joseph Wehbe, Nimish Gaur, Youssef Hassan, B.K. SharmaAbstractCarpometacarpal fracture dislocations are rare and infrequent injuries, which are usually missed at the first presentation. The gross swelling of the wrist and hand conceals the deformity and the radiographs may not reveal much findings. It is important to make an early diagnosis for an appropriate treatment to prevent future morbidity. Therefore, a high index of suspicion, good quality imaging and a prompt surgical intervention in selec...

Our experience in first 100 cases of endoscopic carpal tunnel release: An Indian perspective
ConclusionEndoscopic carpal tunnel release can be accepted as the treatment of choice for the surgical decompression of carpal tunnel owing to decreased postoperative complications. One of the major limitations of the ECTR is the slow learning curve of a surgeon. Difficulty to visualise the distal edge of TCL was most common cause for conversion. With increasing experience of a surgeon in endoscopic release, the conversion rates would decrease.Level of study: level 4, decision analysis (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Osteoarthrosis knee: Need for a simplified prognostic knee score
Publication date: January–April 2018Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, Volume 5, Issue 1Author(s): Prince Raina, Roop Bhushan KaliaAbstractOsteoarthrosis is the commonest joint disorder. There may be variations depending upon the type of joint involved and amount of loading of joint. Weight bearing joints appears to have a higher predisposition as compared to other joints. The treatment modalities for symptom relief vary from nonpharmacological to pharmacological and surgical interventions. The type of intervention required depends mainly on the amount of joint destruction which can be quantified clinicall...

Anthropometric assessment of tibial resection surface morphology in total knee arthroplasty for tibial component design in Indian population
ConclusionClinically relevant differences in proximal tibia morphology at the level of proximal TKA resections across ethnicities can lead to mismatch of sizes of Western TKA implants in Indian patients. Tibial component designs should be done by considering the morphometry of knee in Indian population. Indian females were found to have significant smaller dimension of tibia in terms of size than. But the impact of small sample size and single centre on study warrant a multicentric study with large sample size. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)
