Provisional Plating With the Mini Fragment System for Fracture Reduction and Temporary Stabilization
Albert Lin, MD (Pittsburgh, PA), reviews key literature that supports expanding patient selection for adding a remplissage to an arthroscopic Bankart repair when treating anterior glenohumeral instability.
The pathomechanics of plantar fasciitis are multifactorial. Understanding contributing factors and the chronicity of this pathology is essential for appropriate treatment selection.
Leading surgeons discuss how advancements in medical technology are changing the way they treat their patients.
More common in those over 40 years old, quadriceps tendon ruptures often require prompt surgical management for restoration of function. Transosseous tunnels or suture anchors are standard methods of fixation, with additional options for autograft or allograft augmentation.
At the East Coast Foot and Ankle Summit, Michael W. Downey, DPM (Fort Worth, TX), discusses talar osteochondral lesions along with current treatment options.
Glenohumeral joint instability encompasses a wide range of pathologies ranging from soft-tissue injuries to bipolar bone loss. Critical evaluation of shoulder structure and function is essential for appropriate treatment selection.
The lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL), a four-part ligamentous complex, prevents posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow. Treatment options for LUCL injuries range from conservative methods to surgical interventions, including repair, reconstruction, and suture augmentation techniques.
Making up some of the most common shoulder conditions, rotator cuff pathologies are a leading cause of shoulder pain and instability. Understanding the intricate balance of the rotator cuff tendons is required for successful treatment to achieve joint preservation and...
