Incidence, location and classification of glenoid labrum meniscoid folds.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to arthroscopically investigate the incidence and location of labral meniscoid folds of the shoulder joint, as well as to classify them into types and detect any possible correlation with gender, side and age of patients.

Materials And Methods: The shoulder joint of 59 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for different reasons was examined for meniscoid folds. We classified all meniscoid folds into slim or thick and large or small.

Posterior tibial subluxation and short-term arthritis resulting from failed posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Posterior tibial subluxations because of combined or isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries require detailed evaluation. PCL reconstructions are difficult procedures because of the low rate of such injuries and the complex anatomy of the ligament. We report on 2 cases of failed PCL reconstruction because of malpositioned femoral tunnels.

The diagnostic dilemma created by osteoid osteoma that presents as knee pain.

Purpose: Osteoid osteoma is a rare benign bone lesion with a high incidence in adolescents and young people. The objective of our study was to illustrate the difficulties in diagnosis of osteoid osteoma in patients presenting with atypical knee pain.

Type Of Study: Retrospective case series.
