At the NanoScope™ Operative Arthroscopy System and Minimally Invasive Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Techniques Symposium, A.J. Mencias, MD (South Bend, IN), discusses the NanoScope visualization system in the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Kevin Farmer, MD (Gainesville, FL), highlights the evolving techniques for the treatment of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries, including UCL repair and UCL reconstruction with the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation technique. Through case...
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 Cowboy Way, the Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy course, Anthony A. Romeo, MD (Chicago, IL), discusses examination techniques, diagnostic considerations, and treatment algorithms between first-time and habitual shoulder dislocators.
The hallux and lesser toes of the forefoot play integral roles in supporting joint kinematics and load distribution throughout the foot and ankle. Due to the force vectors that occur at these small joints, chronic pathologies are often in need...
Flexor tendon injuries that affect the palmar aspect of the hand not only affect mobility and hand function but may also result in neurological and vascular compromise. Depending on the pathology, surgical release or repair may be indicated.
At the Women in Foot and Ankle Surgery Symposium, Megan Paulus, MD (East Setauket, NY), describes her treatment of calcaneal fractures, using a sinus tarsi approach.
At the Approaching Fellowship Course, Mark Gage, MD (Baltimore, MD), discusses extensile lateral and sinus tarsi approaches for calcaneal fracture ORIF.
In this video, Asheesh Bedi, MD (Chicago, IL), demonstrates an all-onlay MPFL reconstruction using Hybrid Knotless Knee FiberTak® anchors.
Surgical approaches for radial shaft fractures vary depending on whether the proximal, middle, or distal third of the radial shaft is affected. Careful surgical planning is needed to preserve forearm musculature and avoid biceps tendon irritation with plating.
At the Women In Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Course, Mollie Manley, MD (Akron, OH), discusses literature surrounding various carpal tunnel release techniques as well as tips to perform a safe and effective endoscopic release.
The integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is essential for translational and rotatory knee kinematics. Current treatment concepts explore advances in arthroscopic techniques, including guidelines for reconstruction and repair, graft selection, and suture augmentation techniques.
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...
Greg Horton, MD (Kansas City, KS), demonstrates a midfoot arthrodesis using Snap-Off Compression FT pins and DynaNite® compression plates.
Thomas G. Harris, MD (Pasadena, CA), uses the Mini Comprehensive Fixation with the 2.0 mm cage plate to repair a navicular fracture.
Paul J. Cagle, MD (New York, NY), demonstrates an acromioclavicular joint repair using FiberTape® cerclage.
Steven J. Lee, MD (New York, NY), performs an open reduction internal fixation of a distal humerus fracture with a medial plate and uses a lateral arm positioner for direct access.
At the Spine Evolutions course, Vincent Hagel, MD (Lindau, Germany), reviews which types of disc herniations are best removed via the transforaminal endoscopic approach. Dr. Hagel also discusses limitations of the transforaminal approach, including L5-S1, foraminal stenosis, and a low...
