-
Distal triceps ruptures are rare injuries due to the special anatomical features of the muscle and tendon–bone junction.
-
This injury typically occurs at the tendon–bone junction due to an eccentric contraction of the muscle.
-
The treatment is controversial, especially in partial ruptures; surgical repair is indicated for complete ruptures of the distal triceps tendon.
-
Several repair techniques have been described for acute complete ruptures.
-
Chronic ruptures often require reconstruction rather than direct repair.

-
Multidirectional instability of the shoulder has a complex pathoanatomy. It is characterized by a redundant glenohumeral capsule and increased joint volume.
-
Subtle clinical presentation, unclear trauma history and multifactorial etiology poseses a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons in terms of diagnosis.
-
Generally accepted therapeutic approach is conservative and the majority of patients achieve good results with rehabilitation.
-
In patients who are symptomatic despite appropriate rehabilitation, surgical intervention may be considered.
-
Good results have been obtained with open inferior capsular surgery, which has historically been performed in these patients.
-
In recent years, advanced arthroscopic techniques have taken place in this field, and similar results compared to open surgery have been obtained with the less-invasive arthroscopic capsular plication procedure.
