Proximal humerus fractures encompass a variety of different types, including unifocal, bifocal, and articular fracture patterns. Careful evaluation of the fracture pattern along with patient-specific considerations help determine the most appropriate treatment plan, ranging from nonoperative methods to surgical interventions...
Mark A. Mahan, MD (Salt Lake City, UT), demonstrates how to perform an endoscopic en block flavectomy in the lumbar spine to treat spinal stenosis.

Ryan B. Rigby, DPM (Logan, UT), demonstrates his process for diagnosing acute and chronic deltoid instability using the NanoNeedle™ scope 2.0.
At the Cardiothoracic Innovation Forum, Michael (Zhen-Yu) Tong, MD (Cleveland, OH), reviews the use of Homograft vs. Prosthetics in the management of acute endocarditis.
Ranging from simple fractures to complex cases involving bony displacement and intra-articular involvement with the glenohumeral joint, scapula fractures require proper management to restore shoulder kinematics. Successful outcomes depend on radiographic indications for conservative treatment or surgical intervention.

During Arthroplasty Evolutions, Stefan W. Kreuzer, MD (Houston, TX), discusses the principles of modern total knee implant design, emphasizing how patellofemoral geometry, single-radius femoral design, medial stability, rotational freedom, and tibial coverage optimization can improve knee kinematics in total knee...
At the Cardiothoracic Innovation Forum, Jonathan Hyde (Sussex, UK), reviews the evolution of coronary artery bypass grafting emphasizing on evidence based conduit selection and multi-arterial grafting benefits. Dr. Hyde highlights emerging minimally invasive and robotic techniques, and the innovations shaping the future...
When focal cartilage defects of the talus arise, cartilage-preserving techniques are paramount to prevent progression to osteoarthritis. Surgical interventions include the use of autografts, allografts, and biologic treatments.
Cartilage is specialized, avascular connective tissue that provides a smooth, low-friction surface while efficiently distributing loads and compressive forces during joint movement. In cases of isolated cartilage loss, transplantation and implantation techniques can be used to help restore cartilaginous integrity.
In this case-based discussion at the Approaching Fellowship Course, Andrew Choo, MD (Houston, TX), discusses pearls for approaching the medial and lateral proximal forearm.
At the Spine Evolutions course, Saqib Hasan, MD (San Francisco, CA), provides an in-depth overview on the history of sacroiliac pain and how treatment modalities may be changing with endoscopic technology. Dr. Hasan describes a safe and effective endoscopic technique...
