A 56-year-old man with an acute, sudden onset of pain and an inability to abduct his arm following a work-related injury presented to my clinic. MRI revealed a massive rotator cuff tear with retraction to the level of the glenoid articular surface. Arthroscopic evaluation from the subacromial space revealed a completely unroofed glenoid surface (top left). Two double-loaded medial-row anchors reapproximated the cuff to its native footprint (top right), while a third anchor closed the posterior interval between the supra- and infraspinatus with side-to-side sutures (bottom left). A single PushLock along the lateral humeral cortex secured the repair with added cuff compression. Final arthroscopic images revealed a completely reconstructed rotator cuff with 100% supraspinatus footprint coverage (bottom right). Courtesy of Yuri M. Lewicky, M.D.

Cam Impingement of the Posterior Femoral Condyle in Medial Meniscus Tears

Jun Suganuma, Ryuta Mochizuki, Kenji Yamaguchi, Yutaka Inoue, Eikou Yamabe, Yoshiyuki Ueda, and Tarou Fujinaka
VIDEOS Suganuma’s videos demonstrate the increased tibial displacement shown by the authors to occur with medial meniscectomy. A meniscal allograft restored this translation to more normal values.

Technical Note: Minimally Invasive Bone Grafting of Cysts of the Femoral Head and Acetabulum in Femoroacetabular Impingement

Amir A. Jamali, Anto T. Fritz, Deepak Reddy, and John P. Meehan
VIDEO This video highlights arthroscopic bone grafting.


Systematic Review: Arthroscopic Stabilization for First-Time Versus Recurrent Shoulder Instability

Robert C. Grumet, Bernard R. Bach, Jr., and Matthew T. Provencher
