Margin Convergence Continuous Lasso-Loop Overlocking Technique for the Repair of Horizontal and Longitudinal Knee Meniscal Tears.

Horizontal and longitudinal tears are the most common injuries of the meniscus. The arthroscopic all-inside suture technique using meniscal repair devices involving preloaded sutures and nonabsorbable implants is the most popular technique. The 2 main disadvantages of this technique are the high cost and complications associated with implants.

Arthroscopic Proximal Subpectoral Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps.

Biceps tenodesis is a common treatment method for biceps pathology. When tenodesis is located in intra-articular or suprapectoral areas, the biceps is fixed proximally to the zone of degeneration and inflammation, which can cause residual pain as a possible postsurgical complication. The main advantage of this method is that this technique is comparatively easy and can be performed arthroscopically.

Lateral Meniscus Replacement Using Peroneus Longus Tendon Autograft.

Nowadays, several techniques are available for preserving the lateral aspect of the knee after meniscectomy; meniscus transplantation is the gold standard, and meniscus scaffold implantation is an effective alternative. However, meniscus transplantation is technically difficult and has many potential complications, whereas scaffolds resorb over time. Autografts are commonly used for labroplasty in shoulder and hip surgeries.

The Combined Arthroscopic Revision Technique After the Latarjet Procedure.

The Latarjet procedure is very popular and is the method of choice in cases of glenoid bone loss and anterior-inferior instability or revision procedures. However, recurrence is common after this procedure. One of the methods of revision after the Latarjet procedure is the Eden-Hybinette technique.

Labral Repair Augmentation by Labroplasty and Simultaneous Trans-Subscapular Transposition of the Long Head of the Biceps.

Chronic traumatic anteroinferior instability is a common pathology of the shoulder joint. In case of glenoid bone defects, the Latarjet or bone block technique is the method of choice. The arthroscopic Bankart procedure and its modifications remain the preferred methods of treating patients without substantial bone damage of the glenoid and humeral head; however, there is a high recurrence of instability after the Bankart procedure, even for optimal indications.
