Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the effectiveness of arthroscopic dorsal capsulodesis for treating chronic scapholunate (SL) injuries, proposing this method as a viable option for enhancing the radiographic SL angle over time.
- - A total of 146 patients were monitored for one year post-surgery, revealing significant improvements in both the radiolunate (RL) and SL angles, demonstrating the method's efficacy without requiring invasive procedures.
- - Results indicated that the RL angle improved from -7.23 degrees to 4.37 degrees, and the SL angle decreased from 74.55 to 54.95 degrees, showing meaningful radiological changes and stability after a year of follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- Several studies suggest that using epinephrine saline irrigation during shoulder arthroscopy can improve surgical conditions, though there are risks of cardiovascular side effects.
- This study compared two groups of patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery—one received epinephrine saline injections for visual comfort, while the other served as a control without treatment.
- Results showed that the group receiving the injections reported significantly better visual comfort and less bleeding during the procedure compared to the control group.
Feasibility of arthroscopic decompression of the axillary nerve in the quadrilateral space: Cadaver study.

Article Synopsis
- * The study tested an arthroscopic technique for nerve decompression on 10 shoulders from frozen cadavers, confirming effectiveness through subsequent open surgery without causing additional damage.
- * The findings suggest that arthroscopic decompression is a safe, less invasive treatment option for axillary nerve compression, but further research comparing it to open surgery is recommended.
