Article Abstract
Background: : The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the etiological factors accepted as causes of idiopathic subscapularis tears are true or not when the comparison is made with the opposite side healthy shoulder of the patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for an isolated subscapularis tear.
Methods: Sixteen patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy between February 2016 and January 2018 and were diagnosed with isolated subscapularis tear were evaluated. The coracohumeral distance (CHDax), coracoid overlap (CO), and tuberculum minus cysts (TMC) were evaluated on the axial images of the MRI studies while the acromiohumeral distance (AHDsag), CHDsag, and subscapularis tendon slip number (STSN) on the sagittal oblique images and the AHDcor and SLAP lesion on the coronal oblique images. Degeneration of the coracoacromial ligament was evaluated during arthroscopy.
Results: The mean CHDsag (11.26-10.08), CHDax (10.63-9.98), CO (14.2-15.43), AHDsag (8-7.66), and AHDcor (7.65-7.68) measurements (operated side-healthy side, respectively) were statistically similar (p > 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between TMC and STSN in healthy and operated shoulders (p > 0.05). There was mild coracoacromial ligament fraying in 4 (25%) and obvious coracoacromial ligament fraying in 8 (50%) which indicated subacromial impingement in 75% of the patients.
Discussion: The parameters of the coracoid process did not reveal any significant difference between the operated (for an isolated subscapularis tear) and opposite-side healthy shoulders of the patients. However, coracoacromial ligament degeneration was present in 75% of the patients.

Management of acromioclavicular separations remains controversial. A variety of surgical techniques have been described, but no clear consensus has formed regarding optimal treatment. As these techniques have evolved, so have the complication profiles.

Purpose: To conduct a meta-analysis of clinical studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic and open surgery for the treatment of acute high-grade acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation using a suture button.
Methods: The review process was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Two independent reviewers conducted the literature searches based on preferred reporting items from systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy and radiological results of three surgical methods for treating Rockwood III-V acromioclavicular dislocation.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 62 patients with acute Rockwood III-V acromioclavicular dislocation who were admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to December 2022. Among these patients, 19 received the modified Weaver-Dunn technique (Group A), 20 underwent the arthroscopic single tunnel technique (Group B), and 23 received the arthroscopic coracoid sling technique (Group C).

Purpose: Common surgical techniques for managing acute acromioclavicular (AC) injuries include reconstruction of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments using tendon grafts or high-strength artificial looping materials, as well as fixation with a hook plate. This study presents a thorough analysis of the outcomes of anatomical reconstruction of both the CC and AC ligaments using a single-strand semitendinosus tendon graft.
Methods: All patients with acute AC joint dislocation who underwent anatomical reconstruction of the CC and AC ligaments between 2017 and 2022 were included in this retrospective analysis.
