Introduction: Arthroscopic Bankart repair is a widely accepted procedure to treat recurrent shoulder dislocation. This study aims to describe our experience with arthroscopic Bankart repair and its functional outcome.

Triplane fractures of the distal tibia in children.

Purpose: To review 28 cases of paediatric triplane fractures of the distal tibia over a 7-year period in a tertiary paediatric hospital.

Results: Injury mechanism included low-energy trauma (n=10) and moderate-energy trauma (n=18).

Total hip arthroplasty in patients with chronic autoimmune inflammatory arthroplasties.

Objective: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) often require total hip arthroplasties. We present a retrospective review of 32 total hip arthroplasties (THA) performed for patients with SLE, RA or AS from 2003 to 2008 in a tertiary hospital in Singapore.

Materials And Methods: A total of 323 THAs performed between January 2003 to December 2008 were traced and cases of arthroplasties performed for such patients were isolated.
