Osteochondral Injuries of the Hip

When focal cartilage defects of the hip arise, cartilage-preserving techniques are paramount to prevent progression to osteoarthritis. Surgical interventions include the use of autografts, allografts, and biologic treatments.

Osteochondral Injuries of the Hip: Surgical Approach for Femoral Head Allograft OATS® Procedure

P. Christopher Cook, MD (Rochester, NY), demonstrates the technique for an open surgical dislocation with a trochanteric osteotomy to gain access to the joint space.

• Duration 5m

Tibial Shaft Fractures

Surgical management for tibial shaft fractures typically involves the use of open reduction internal fixation or intramedullary nailing. Further surgical intervention is warranted in the presence of additional polytrauma.

Hallux Rigidus

Hallux rigidus presents mobility challenges in the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint, limiting normal gait and foot and ankle mechanics. Chronic cases may benefit from cheilectomy, interpositional arthroplasty, and arthrodesis procedures to improve pain and function.

Pilon (Distal Tibia) Fractures: Delta Frame With the ArthroFX® External Fixation System

Charles J. Jordan, MD (Miami, FL), demonstrates his ankle-spanning delta frame technique using the ArthroFX® large external fixation system.

Approach to Small Lesions: AutoCart™ Technique

At the Patellofemoral Forum, J. Lee Pace, MD (Plano, TX), explains the evolution of cartilage repair techniques for small patellofemoral lesions and describes how various techniques can enhance cartilage repair and regeneration.

Nerve Entrapment

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.

Median Sternotomy Closure: Simple Interrupted Closure Technique Using FiberTape® Cerclage

Clarence Owen, MD (Largo, FL), demonstrates a single interrupted suturetechnique when closing a median sternotomy.

• Duration 7m

Patellar Tendon Tears

More common in those under 40 years old, patellar tendon ruptures often require prompt surgical management to restore function. Transosseous tunnels or suture anchors are standard methods of fixation, with additional options for autograft or allograft augmentation.

Facet Arthropathy: The Posterior Approach for Cervical Foraminotomy and Decompression

During Spine Evolutions, Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Farshad (Zurich, Switzerland) presents a step-by-step overview of the posterior approach for cervical foraminotomy and decompression.

• Duration 11m

Distal Radioulnar Joint (DRUJ) Instability

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.

• Path

Ganglion Cysts

Ganglion cysts of the dorsal wrist are characterized by synovial metaplasia and herniation with capsular involvement. This common soft tumor most often originates from the scapholunate ligament with surgical indications for open or arthroscopic resection.
