Ankle instability most commonly occurs laterally from traumatic and/or recurrent ligamentous injury. Treatment options for lateral ankle instability range from conservative methods to surgical interventions, including Brostrom repair, reconstruction, and suture augmentation techniques.
Carl T. Hasselman, MD (Pittsburgh, PA), demonstrates the dual 1.1 mm Knotless Mini TightRope® system for supplemental fixation to minimize reoccurrence of late drift in hallux valgus correction.
At the Sports Medicine Fellows Forum, Seth L. Sherman (Redwood City, CA), discusses the pathology and classifications of patellofemoral instability and indications for differing surgical techniques.
Asheesh Bedi, MD (Ann Arbor, MI), shares his algorithmic approach to evaluate and treat meniscal root tears. Dr. Bedi also highlights how the innovative SutureLoc™ implant has transformed meniscal root repair, allowing for joint-line fixation and retensioning.
Fractures of the 5th metatarsal encompass tuberosity avulsion fractures, Jones fractures, and diaphyseal stress fractures. Critical evaluation of the mechanism of injury, anatomic variations of the foot and ankle, and activity level of the patient is essential for appropriate treatment...
Sean Calloway, MD (Indianapolis, IN), demonstrates a quick tip for protecting sutures when using the FlipCutter® III drill during a meniscal root repair.
Rarely occurring in isolation, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injuries are often part of multiligamentous injuries. LCL tear classification will help determine whether conservative or surgical treatment is appropriate.
Christopher Hodgkins, MD (Miami, FL), reviews and discusses the literature supporting minimally invasive bunionectomy procedures.
Eric W. Tan, MD (Los Angeles, CA), uses the Mini Comprehensive Fixation System Y-plate to stabilize a medial malleolus fracture.
Stay on the cutting edge with highlights from the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum.
This video reviews the fundamental biomechanics and function of the rotator cuff muscles and tendons.
Benjamin G. Domb, MD (Chicago, IL), reviews different predictors of patient outcomes following hip arthroscopy as identified in a 10-year follow-up analysis.
While less common than ACL injuries, posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries can have a significant impact on knee stability. PCL tear classification will help guide whether conservative or surgical treatment is indicated.
Multidirectional glenohumeral joint instability is classified as symptomatic, involuntary instability in more than two directions. Careful evaluation of the multitude of factors that contribute to this complex pathology is key for determining appropriate treatment.
Kelsey J. Millonig, DPM (Des Moines, IA), reviews current literature about whether hypermobility of the 1st tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint is a cause or consequence of hallux valgus.
Thomas G. Harris, MD (Pasadena, CA), discusses and reviews literature regarding whether the deltoid ligament should be repaired in the setting of acute trauma.
Making up some of the most common shoulder conditions, rotator cuff pathologies are a leading cause of shoulder pain and instability. Understanding the intricate balance of the rotator cuff tendons is required for successful treatment to achieve joint preservation and...
In this episode, host Christopher Adams, MD, and in-studio guests Patrick A. Smith, MD (Columbia, MO); Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet, MD, PhD (Lyon, France); and David Schmidt, MD (San Antonio, TX) discuss and share their experiences with anterolateral ligament augmentation with ACL...
