Background: The term (LMORT) has emerged to characterize the tear patterns of the lateral meniscus in many patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. There is a lack of data regarding the exact incidence according to the types of LMORT and clinical outcomes.

Purposes: (1) To investigate the incidence of LMORT according to type in patients with acute ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and (2) to identify healing status after repair of LMORT via second-look arthroscopy and clinical outcomes.

Background: Open Bankart repair provides surgeons and patients with an alternative solution for managing recurrent instability in young athletes with or without minimal bone loss. Despite many studies that have reported low recurrence rates and good functional outcomes after open Bankart repair, we have limited knowledge about the return to sport and work for high-demand populations.

Purpose: To assess the return to sport and work for high-demand populations after open Bankart repair for recurrent anterior shoulder instability, outcomes of open Bankart repair with regard to recurrence, and development of osteoarthritic (OA) changes.

Background: Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) is a method for treating irreparable chronic rotator cuff tears. However, the extent to which ASCR can be performed with regard to the patient's age has yet to be determined.

Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes of ASCR for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCTs) in patients aged <65 years versus patients aged ≥65 years.

Several articles have described arthroscopic fixation of coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus. However, not all of them have used purely arthroscopic techniques. In this Technical Note we describe another technique for intra-articular distal humeral fracture fixation using arthroscopy alone.
