Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears: Double-Row SpeedFix™ Supraspinatus Repair
Mauricio Herrera, MD (Miami, FL), demonstrates the use of the Knotless 2.6 FiberTak® RC and Self-Punching SwiveLock® anchor for repair of a small supraspinatus tear.
-
Bone Void Filler and Bone Grafts
Advances in bone remodeling introduce various biologic solutions for treating bone voids.
-
Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Injuries: Targeted Over-the-Top TFCC Repair Using the NanoNeedle Scope System
Sanj Kakar, MD (Rochester, MN), demonstrates a novel technique for TFCC repair by using an arthroscopic-assisted over-the-top approach to improve precision and avoid iatrogenic injury.
-
Rotator Cuff Tears: Literature Review on Graft Options for Rotator Cuff Augmentation
G. Russell Huffman, MD (Orlando, FL), reviews key literature supporting biologic rotator cuff augmentation in addition to discussing how graft choice may affect retear and reoperation rates.
-
Soft-Tissue Augmentation
During soft-tissue repair or reconstruction, augmentation with autografts or allografts may be used to supplement the procedures.
-
VIP™ System—Advancements in Planning: Innovative Solutions
In this episode, leading surgeons discuss using advancements in preoperative planning and highlight their clinical experience with an illustrative surgical case presentation. Joining host Christopher Adams, MD, are in-studio guests Anthony A. Romeo, MD (Chicago, IL); and Brian C. Werner,...
-
Spinal Instability: Literature Review on Biomechanical Stability of Spinal Structures
Mazda Farshad, MD (Zurich, Switzerland), reviews current literature regarding how distinct spinal structures contribute differently to overall biomechanical stability of the spine based on the location of degeneration. Prof. Farshad also reviews the concept of ligament reconstruction in spinal applications.
-
Pelvic Ring Injuries
Pelvic ring injuries result from disruption of the articulation of the sacrum with the innominate bones and supporting ligamentous structures. These injuries require careful treatment planning to reduce pelvic instability and address concomitant urogenital, vascular, or neurological injury.
-
-
Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries: Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using Double Knotless Knee FiberTak® Anchors
Adam Anz, MD (Gulf Breeze, FL), demonstrates a two-strand medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction using a TightRope® II RT implant proximally and two Double Knotless Knee FiberTak® anchors distally to help recreate the broad footprint of the native superficial MCL.
-
Osteochondral Lesions of the Knee: Treatment of a Medial Femoral Condyle Osteochondral Defect Using an Osteochondral Allograft
Tracye J. Lawyer, MD, PhD (Boise, ID), demonstrates the allograft OATS® technique for the treatment of a medial femoral condyle osteochondral defect.
-
Endoscopic Approaches to Spine: Transforaminal Approach
Raymond J. Gardocki, MD (Nashville, TN), discusses the history of endoscopic spine surgery, beginning with the transforaminal approach, and reviews his transforaminal approach technique for posterolateral and intraforaminal herniations.
-
Subscapularis Tendon Tears: Upper-Border Subscapularis Repair Using the Double-Loaded Knotless FiberTak® Soft Anchor
Paul Brady, MD (Knoxville, TN), performs an upper-border subscapularis repair using the Double-Loaded Knotless 2.6 FiberTak® soft anchor. This anchor features two repair sutures that are passed individually through the subscapularis, shuttled simultaneously within one knotless mechanism, and tensioned independently...
-
Lateral Collateral Ligament Injuries: Posterolateral Corner (PLC) Instability Reconstruction Using the FiberTag® TightRope® Implants and FastThread™ Screws
Bruce A. Levy, MD (Orlando, FL), demonstrates a fibular-based PLC reconstruction using FiberTag® TightRope® implants. Dr. Levy reviews the anatomy, surgical steps, and tensioning sequences.

-
Subscapularis Tendon Tears
The subscapularis plays a crucial role in balancing the force couples of the glenohumeral joint. Subscapularis tendon tear size and location, along with patient-specific considerations, help determine the most appropriate treatment options, ranging from nonoperative methods to open and arthroscopic...
-
Thumb Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injuries
The thumb's ulnar collateral ligament resists valgus forces. Careful evaluation of ligamentous integrity and joint stability following thumb ulnar collateral ligament injuries is needed to determine whether conservative or surgical management is indicated.
-
Lesser Toe Pathologies
Mallet toe, hammertoe, claw toe, and crossover toe deformities are grouped together and identified as lesser toe pathologies. Due to the extent of deformity, surgical management is often indicated to help restore foot biomechanics.
-
Posterior Glenohumeral Joint Instability
While less common than anterior instability, posterior glenohumeral joint instability can develop from anatomic abnormalities of the shoulder, traumatic injury, or repetitive microtrauma. Understanding contributing factors and concomitant pathology will help determine when isolated soft-tissue or bony procedures are indicated.
-
Glenoid Articular Cartilage Defects
When focal cartilage defects of the glenoid arise, cartilage-preserving techniques are paramount to prevent progression to osteoarthritis. Surgical interventions include the use of autografts, allografts, and biologic treatments.
-
Hip Arthritis
Hip osteoarthritis presents along a spectrum of severity, requiring a patient-centered approach to treatment. Current treatment concepts focus on customizing care to optimize hip function and patient outcomes.
-
Scapholunate Ligament (SLL) Injuries
The scapholunate ligament (SLL) and associated joint are integral to wrist structure and function. Scapholunate ligament injuries may require ligament repair, reconstruction, or other surgical intervention to restore stability to the wrist.
-
Thumb Carpometacarpal (CMC) Dislocation (Non-Arthritic)
Dislocation of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint in the absence of arthritis can occur due to trauma or generalized ligamentous laxity. Surgical fixation is indicated in most cases to restore joint stability.
