Reverse Hill-Sachs lesion with a greater and lesser tuberosity fracture of the humerus due to posterior shoulder dislocation: A case report
We present a case of a greater tuberosity fracture of the humeral head by posterior dislocation in addition to a lesser tuberosity fracture with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion with a greater and lesser tuberosity fracture of the humeral head due to posterior shoulder dislocation.

Does Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction prevent or initiate Knee Osteoarthritis? -A critical review
Publication date: Available online 13 July 2019Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint SurgeryAuthor(s): Raju Vaishya, Maduka Celestine Okwuchukwu, Amit Kumar Agarwal, Vipul VijayAbstractAnterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are common in the knee and are often caused by sports injuries. These injuries are common among the young population of the society and are significant causes of morbidity and functional impairment. Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction (ACLR) is considered as a gold standard in the management of ACL injuries. ACLR has been shown to restore the joint stability, and improve the functional outcome.

Arthroscopic acromio-clavicular joint stabilization using a TightRope device
ConclusionArthroscopic stabilization of acute acromio-clavicular joint dislocation using a TightRope device is a minimally invasive procedure with decreased post-operative morbidity. It allows early rehabilitation and consistently provides a satisfactory outcome when performed in the acute phase of injury. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Comparing clinical and patient reported outcomes of suture anchor and transosseous repairs of quadriceps tendon rupture
This study showed that the clinical results, re rupture rates, complications, and operative times were similar between suture anchor and transosseous repairs of the quadriceps tendon. Therefore both techniques are appropriate for the management of this debilitating injury. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

MRI shoulder without contrast is unreliable method to explain prolonged morbidity after subacromial decompression
ConclusionsThe persistent pain and stiffness in some patients after subacromial decompression cannot be explained by the development of capsular changes shown by non-arthrographic MRI, which seems to be unreliable method due to high subjectivity in the assessment between the radiologists.

Bucket handle horizontal cleavage tear of medial meniscus with congenital deformity– A case report
Publication date: Available online 22 May 2019Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint SurgeryAuthor(s): Srinivas BS. KambhampatiAbstractBucket Handle tears occur most commonly in the medial meniscus. A typical Bucket Handle tear is a vertical tear from femoral surface of meniscus to tibial surface and extending longitudinally along the length of the meniscus from the anterior horn or body to the posterior part of the meniscus. The reported case is a rare one of horizontal cleavage tear of meniscus which developed bucket handle tear extending from anterior third of body to the posterior body in an ACL deficient knee and va...

Influence of femoral head diameter on intraoperative range of motion in total hip arthroplasty
ConclusionsROM expansion due to the increase in femoral ball head diameter can be obtained even in vivo, but it was suggested that there is a limitation to the effect because of the interference of bone and soft tissue. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)
