Scaphoid Nonunions
Because vascular supply to the scaphoid creates a poor fracture healing environment, there is an inherent risk of scaphoid nonunions following fractures. These complex cases may require salvage procedures involving vascularized bone grafting.

Proximal Femur Fractures
Proximal femur fractures require different treatment strategies depending on fracture type, location, and morphology. Surgical interventions include open reduction internal fixation, hip arthroplasty, and intertrochanteric and intramedullary nails.

Scaphoid Pathologies
The scaphoid plays an integral role in biomechanics of the wrist due to its articulation with five other bones. Because vascular supply is poor, scaphoid pathologies can present challenges with healing.

Pectoralis Major Tendon Ruptures
Traumatic in nature, ruptures of the pectoralis major tendon can have a debilitating impact on exercise and daily activities. Due to the nature of these injuries, time-sensitive surgical intervention is often needed to restore function.
-
General Trauma
From minimally invasive techniques to innovative instrumentation and implants, expertise in general trauma requires a breadth of knowledge of fracture fixation and soft-tissue repair.

Importance of Pump Pressure During Spinal Endoscopy (Thoracic and Cervical)
At the Spine Evolutions course, Prof Dr med Mazda Farshad (Zurich, Switzerland) discusses the importance of irrigation during endoscopic spinal surgery, including the differences between gravity and pump pressures while considering whether flow is occluded.
