Comparative Study
Arthroscopic fixation technique for comminuted, displaced greater tuberosity fracture.
The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the early results of arthroscopic treatment in patients with comminuted, displaced greater tuberosity (GT) fractures using the arthroscopic double-row suture anchor fixation (ADSF) technique. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.

The purpose of this systematic review was to critically evaluate the available literature in an attempt to compare the outcome of open versus arthroscopic distal clavicle resection in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint pathology. ⋯ Level III, systematic review.

Comparative Study
Arthroscopy of the posterior knee compartments: neurovascular anatomic relationships during arthroscopic transverse capsulotomy.
To clearly define the anatomic relations that exist in the posterior knee under arthroscopic conditions in a cadaveric model and to describe a technique for an all-arthroscopic posterior capsule release. ⋯ With a mean distance of 19.3 mm between the PCL and the popliteal artery after capsulotomy, surgeons can feel confident that a safe zone is present for posterior knee arthroscopy. In addition, they can be reassured that posterior portals are safe if created with the knee in the proper position.
