Foraminal stenosis and associated nerve entrapment are often sequelae to disc injury or degenerative spinal changes. Advances in endoscopic approaches for foraminotomy procedures can help minimize nerve damage, radiculopathy, and chronic pain.
At the Sports Medicine Fellowship Forum, Sommer Hammoud, MD (Philadelphia, PA), reviews historical and modern indications, patient selection, and surgical techniques for primary ACL repair supported by current biomechanical data.
Arthroscopy enables direct visualization of hand and wrist pathology through small portal incisions, supporting minimally invasive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment while minimizing soft-tissue disruption. Explore the latest advances in arthroscopic techniques and essential tips for hand and wrist arthroscopy.
Carl H. Wierks, MD (Grand Rapids, MI), demonstrates the surgical technique for performing an arthroscopic capsulotomy of the hip using the retractable cannulated knife.
The distal radioulnar joint, or DRUJ, is a complex articulation that is dependent on a multitude of static and dynamic stabilizers. Careful evaluation of the various factors that contribute to distal radioulnar joint instability is key for determining appropriate treatment.
This video reviews key surgical principles in the management of olecranon fractures, including patient positioning, surgical approach, and fixation techniques.
Kaitlin Neary, MD (Boise, ID), reviews the technique steps for using the Syndesmosis TightRope® PRO implant for syndesmosis repair.
Carl T. Hasselman, MD (Bridgeport, WV), demonstrates a bunion correction using the Arthrex Lapidus I-beam plate, and highlights the benefits of the plate and associated instrumentation.
The ankle syndesmosis plays an integral role in stabilizing the ankle joint. Syndesmotic injuries commonly occur with concomitant ankle injury and require careful evaluation of the injury pattern to help determine treatment options, ranging from nonoperative methods to surgical interventions...
Alan A. MacGill, DPM (Coral Springs, FL), reviews current literature surrounding lateral ankle instability treatments and discusses the significance of global ankle instability evaluation and management when treating ankle instability.
Fractures can affect many of the bones that make up the hand and wrist, including the radius, metacarpals, and phalanges. Varied techniques and implants are available for operative fixation.
Arthroscopy enables direct visualization of hip pathology through small portal incisions, supporting minimally invasive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment while minimizing soft-tissue disruption. Explore the latest advances in arthroscopic techniques and essential tips for hip arthroscopy.
Midcarpal instability encompasses a wide range of pathomechanics that result in palmar, dorsal, or combined instability. Critical evaluation of the multifactorial etiology of this pathology can help guide successful treatment.
Perilunate injuries range in severity, inclusive of multipoint instability, dislocation, and fracture. Careful evaluation of the extent of injury and level of structural involvement is needed for treatment planning to maximize functional outcomes.
The carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is an intricate saddle articulation that is integral for maintaining hand dexterity. Thumb pathologies, including joint and ligamentous injuries, present challenges with hand function and fine motor movement.
Scapholunate pathologies disrupt the normal kinematics of the wrist. Common causes of pain and dysfunction include ganglion cysts and scapholunate ligament injuries, which can progress to scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC).
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a conglomerate of soft-tissue structures on the ulnar side of the wrist that plays a significant biomechanical role in wrist mobility and stabilization. The severity and chronicity of TFCC injuries will help determine the...
During the Endoscopic Approaches to Spine Level II course, Michael A. Gallizzi, MD (Vail, CO), delivers surgical insights on the trans-SAP approach to endoscopic discectomy, emphasizing patient selection, demonstrating practical techniques, and providing support with real case examples.
Olecranon fractures can affect the stability of the elbow by disrupting the articulation with the distal humerus. Proper surgical fixation of this bony projection is needed to maintain elbow mechanics and decrease injury risk to the ulnar nerve.
At the Orthopedic Trauma Fellowship Forum, Jonah Hebert-Davies, MD (Orange County, CA), demonstrates a reverse modified Judet and deltopectoral approach for scapula fracture exposure and fixation.
Rachel M. Frank, MD (Denver, CO), demonstrates an all-inside quadriceps ACL reconstruction using the FiberTag® TightRope® SB implant with the InternalBrace™ technique. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the...
