Arthroscopic posteromedial drive-through test in posterior cruciate ligament insufficiency: a new diagnostic test.

Purpose: The study investigated the prevalence of the posteromedial drive-through sign in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy and determined its relationship to posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) insufficiency.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 1,015 patients undergoing knee arthroscopy from 2009 to 2012 at two institutions. During knee arthroscopy, the ability to pass the arthroscope easily between the medial femoral condyle and the PCL is considered a positive posteromedial drive-through sign.

Outcome of the isolated SLAP lesions and analysis of the results according to the injury mechanisms.

Superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions of the shoulder arise from various causes and have some controversies in their treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic SLAP repair and the relationship between injury mechanisms and outcomes. We evaluated the clinical results of 24 patients (mean 33 months follow-up) who had an arthroscopic isolated SLAP (type II: 21, type III: 1, type IV: 2 patients) repair with suture anchors.
