Midfoot Fractures

Midfoot fractures can significantly compromise the integrity and shock absorption capacity of the midfoot, predisposing the Lisfranc complex to posttraumatic pathology. Lateral column lengthening with external fixation, navicular repair, or arthrodesis procedures are viable options to achieve optimal rates of...

Adhesive Capsulitis

Adhesive capsulitis results from progressive fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint capsule, often also affecting the ligaments within the rotator interval. Successful condition management depends on staging and symptom severity, typically involving nonoperative methods but may extend to surgical intervention.

Scaphoid Lunate Advanced Collapse (SLAC)

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...
