Thomas G. Harris, MD (Pasadena, CA), demonstrates a minimally invasive proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fusion on a cadaveric specimen for treatment of a hammertoe.
Erik Kubiak, MD (Las Vegas, NV), demonstrates using FiberTape® cerclage as a tension band to treat noncomminuted, transverse olecranon fractures.
In this video, Anthony A. Romeo, MD (New York, NY), demonstrates elbow ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction using the docking technique.
Andrew McBride, BPHTY, MBBS, FRACS (Queensland, Australia), demonstrates a biologic tuberoplasty combined with a rotator cable reconstruction using ArthroFlex® dermal allograft and SwiveLock® anchor for the treatment of a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. ArthroFlex is a registered trademark of...
Thomas G. Harris, MD (Pasadena, CA), demonstrates the use of the MIS parallel guides for Beveled FT screw fixation, which are included in the Arthrex Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy System.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Brian D. Giordano, MD (Rochester, NY), discusses how different chondral pathologies of the hip can be treated using the AutoCart procedure. Dr. Giordano also provides technique tips to make the procedure safer...
Olecranon fractures can affect the stability of the elbow by disrupting the articulation with the distal humerus. Proper surgical fixation of this bony projection is needed to maintain elbow mechanics and decrease injury risk to the ulnar nerve.
Brian C. Werner, MD (Charlottesville, VA), demonstrates a quick tip forimproving access and visualization when performing a labral repair in the beach chair position.
Pilon fractures are comminuted fractures of the weight-bearing surface of the distal tibia. These complex fractures are evaluated and treated differently than standard ankle fractures and typically require time-sensitive surgical fixation and reduction.
Scapholunate advanced collapse, or SLAC wrist, is a debilitating complication of a scapholunate injury that results in progressive osteoarthritic changes in response to abnormal kinematics of the wrist. For this advanced pathology, salvage procedures like proximal-row carpectomy and four-corner fusion...
