Knee Arthritis
Knee osteoarthritis presents along a spectrum of severity, requiring a patient-centered approach to treatment. Current treatment concepts explore surgical advances, including unicompartmental arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy.

Careful evaluation of humeral shaft fractures and execution of surgical fixation are essential to avoid neurovascular involvement. Surgical management may involve a posterior approach, dissection through the triceps, and stabilization through plating and cerclage techniques.
Glenohumeral joint instability most commonly occurs anteriorly. Current treatment concepts explore advances and indications for surgical management, from labral and ligamentous repair to glenoid reconstruction.
At the Cardiothoracic Symposium, Thomas Caranasos, MD (Naples, FL), discusses the benefits of the use of platelet-rich plasma, the Thrombinator™ device, and JumpStart® antimicrobial dressing in cardiothoracic surgery.
Zain Khalpey, MD (Scottsdale, AZ), discusses the literature behind the clinical benefits of using JumpStart® antimicrobial wound dressing for surgical site healing following sternal closure.
Adequate spinal stability depends on the intricate balance between the biomechanics of the discs, facet joints, and supporting ligaments. A comprehensive understanding of these structures' contributions is essential for addressing spinal instability with surgical management.
During soft-tissue repair or reconstruction, augmentation with autografts or allografts may be used to supplement the procedures.
Distal femur fractures can be treated with a variety of surgical approaches. The level of comminution and intra-articular involvement will help determine plating and nailing fixation options.
Radial neck fractures vary in their level of bony displacement and effect on elbow function. If they impede elbow range of motion, surgical management is typically indicated to restore arm and forearm functions
At the Advancements in Orthobiologics course, Alberto J. Panero, DO (Sacramento, CA), highlights the importance of addressing bony lesions and how the IntraOsseous BioPlasty® (IOBP®) technique plays a role in treatment.
Stephen A. Parada, MD (Augusta, GA), demonstrates a posterior glenoid labral repair using Knotless 1.8 FiberTak® soft anchors. He describes a technique for sequential tensioning of the repair sutures to dial in the desired tension for each anchor.
While less common than lateral instability, medial ankle instability typically results from damage to two or more components of the deltoid ligament complex. Treatment options for medial ankle instability range from conservative methods to surgical interventions, including repair, reconstruction, and...
In this episode host Christopher Adams, MD, and leading surgeons provide insight into the innovative use of the SutureLoc implant for meniscal root repair and review relevant scientific literature. Joining Dr. Adams in-studio are Aaron J. Krych MD (Rochester, MN),...
Anthony A. Romeo, MD (Chicago, IL), demonstrates a surgical pearl for simplifying insertion of the glenosphere during reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
At the Trauma Fellowship Forum, Mark J. Gage, MD (Baltimore, MD), discusses pearls for percutaneous anterior column screws and techniques for percutaneous pelvis reduction with an audience of orthopedic trauma fellows.
Disc disease is one of the most common causes of neck and back pain and disability. Current concepts explore surgical advances in interlaminar and transforaminal endoscopic discectomy approaches for addressing degenerative disc involvement.
Asheesh Bedi, MD (Chicago, IL), Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR),Justin W. Griffin, MD (Virginia Beach, VA), Evan Lederman, MD (Phoenix, AZ), and Brian C. Werner, MD (Charlottesville, VA), review the most impactful literature in shoulder arthroplasty from 2024.
At the Spine Evolutions course, Vincent Hagel, MD (Lindau, Germany), presents on endoscopic treatment in relation to iatrogenic and intraoperative dural tears.
At the Cardiothoracic Symposium, Marc Gerdisch, MD (Indianapolis, IN), discusses the benefits of minimally invasive approaches to the heart via thoracotomy with the use of the FiberTape® Sternal Closure System for thoracotomy closure.
At the Endoscopic Approaches to Spine course, Sanjay Konakondla, MD (New York, NY), describes the endoscopic anatomy and surgical approach for endoscopic interlaminar discectomy.
At the East Coast Foot and Ankle Summit, William M. Engasser, MD (Minneapolis, MN), reviews the latest research on stable fixation options and early weight-bearing recommendations for ankle fractures.
