Background: Arthroscopy-assisted cortical fixation devices have been increasingly used in the operative management of both acute and chronic cases of acromioclavicular joint instability (ACJI). It has been hypothesized that delayed surgical management leads to inferior clinical and radiologic outcomes compared to acute treatment. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical and radiologic outcomes, scapula dyskinesia, and failure or revision rates of arthroscopically treated acute and chronic ACJI.

Closing defects under tension in areas such as the scalp and back may be challenging during dermatologic surgery. Different techniques have been advocated to ease the placement of the first deep suture under tension, including the slip-knot stitch, pully stitch, horizontal mattress suture, pulley set-back dermal suture, and tandem pulley stitch.

Background And Aims: The lack of reliable countertraction in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) contributes to its technical demand and increased procedure time. We aimed to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of the suture pulley countertraction method in endoscopists new to both suturing and ESD.

Methods: Two 30-mm circular lesions were created in an ex vivo porcine stomach model.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is still challenging, and a reliable technique is desirable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of controlled EFTR using a pseudopolyp made from suture loop needle T-tag (SLNT) tissue anchors in ex vivo porcine stomachs.

Methods: Five pig stomachs were used.
