Tal S. David, MD (San Diego, CA), demonstrates an arthroscopic AC repair using the Knotless AC TightRope® system. Visualization is simplified with the Pano™ scope, which enables a 30°, 45°, and 70° field of view without changing scopes.
At the Complex and Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty Surgery course, Brian C. Werner, MD (Charlottesville, VA), discusses the rationale for using the Virtual Implant Positioning™ (VIP™) system for preoperative surgical planning for total shoulder arthroplasty cases.
At the Foot and Ankle Minimally Invasive Surgery Course, Nicholas A. Campitelli, DPM (Fairlawn, OH), discusses the MIS Achilles SpeedBridge™ repair implant system with knotless rip-stop.
At the Approaching Fellowship course, Mark J. Gage, MD (Baltimore, MD), explores the approaches for ORIF of the femoral head and neck. Dr. Gage discusses surgical pearls, addresses surgical hip dislocation, and reviews open approaches to the femoral neck, including...
Resulting from neurological disorders, congenital factors, or acquired muscle shortening over time, gastrocnemius equinus contractures significantly impact normal gait and increase the risk of developing other foot or ankle pathology. Response to or failure of conservative treatment will guide indications...
In this pearls-based talk, John T. Riehl, MD (Dallas, TX), discusses approaches to both the shoulder and humerus. Deltopectoral, deltoid split, and anterior and posterior approaches to the humerus are addressed.
At the Approaching Fellowship course, John T. Riehl, MD (Dallas, TX), discusses the anterior midline, lateral, and medial approaches for distal femur ORIF.
Ranging from simple midshaft fractures to complex multifragment deformities, clavicle fractures require proper management to restore shoulder kinematics. Successful outcomes depend on radiographic indications for conservative treatment or surgical intervention.
At the Arthroplasty Evolutions course, Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR), shares how he educates and optimizes patients ahead of shoulder arthroplasty surgery, in addition to providing the steps he takes to control surgical factors.
At the Arthroplasty Evolutions course, Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR), walks through his algorithm for implant selection when planning preoperatively and performing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
Hallux valgus is a common source of foot pain and deformity that can significantly impact gait and weight-bearing tolerance. Chronic cases may benefit from osteotomy and arthrodesis procedures to improve pain and function.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum, Patrick A. Smith, MD (Naples, FL), reviews current evidence on rotator cuff retears, emphasizing the biologic challenges of early healing and the clinical impact of incomplete enthesis restoration. It further outlines a biologically...
At the Spine Evolutions course, Sohrab Gollogly, MD (Monterey, CA), provides an overview of endoscopic spine surgery with a focus on medial branch nerve transection.
Superior labral tears from anterior to posterior, or SLAP tears, are a significant cause of shoulder pain and instability. The classification of SLAP tears will help guide whether conservative or surgical treatment is appropriate.
Lisfranc injuries that affect the ligamentous complex supporting the tarsometatarsal articulation, or Lisfranc joint, can range from mild to severe. Operative fixation is often indicated to restore stability and function to the midfoot.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum, Matthew T. Provencher, MD (Vail, CO), reviews the evolution of high tibial osteotomy techniques, highlighting improvements in planning, instrumentation, fixation, and bone-grafting approaches.
While the coronoid process is a much smaller bony projection than the neighboring olecranon, fractures can similarly result in loss of elbow function. Proper fixation of coronoid fractures is essential to maintain upper extremity biomechanics and eliminate instability of the...
Commonly resulting from trauma, recurrent instability, or as a postoperative complication, articular cartilage pathologies of the glenohumeral joint often lead to pain and disability. Early surgical intervention can halt the progression to global cartilage loss and preserve the function of...
Soft-tissue trauma and dislocations present unique challenges in trauma management due to capsular, ligamentous, and tendinous involvement. Proper management of fracture fixation and/or soft-tissue repair is paramount to preserve joint stability and kinematics.
Explore innovations in trauma solutions, including the latest fracture fixation and soft-tissue repair techniques.
The femoral head is the most common site for avascular necrosis (AVN), which can lead to subchondral bone loss and joint dysfunction from vascular compromise. Joint-preserving treatment options are available, but early diagnosis is essential to take this route.
