Postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis.

摘要: Postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL) is a rare complication in which the articular cartilage of shoulder undergoes rapid, degenerative changes shortly after arthroscopic surgery. Patients with PAGCL are often young (eg, aged 10 to 40 years) and develop deep pain progressive loss motion that begins months initial should be considered differential diagnosis patient deep, unexplained following Although etiology not yet fully understood, pathophysiology likely multifactorial. Inherent factors risk for have been identified, but it unclear how these interact. Current surgical practices need examined new developed prevent PAGCL. Proud placement nonabsorbable suture anchors during surgery correct instability, as well use thermal devices intra-articular pumps, avoided.
