At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Tal S. David, MD (San Diego, CA), highlights the importance of identifying subscapularis tears and demonstrates how to use the Double-Loaded Knotless 2.6 FiberTak® anchor to repair upper-border subscapularis tears.
John G. Kennedy, MD (New York, NY), demonstrates in-office techniques for posterior ankle arthroscopy of the flexor hallucis longus tendon using the NanoNeedle™ scope 2.0, dissector, and round burr.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Stephen F. Brockmeier, MD (Charlottesville, VA), provides a historical perspective on the treatment of anterior glenoid bone loss and introduces a novel technique to tackle this challenging pathology. He shares his evolution...
During Spine Evolutions, Patrick Kim, MD (Tampa, FL), discusses the use of inflow and outflow channels and compares drill and burr techniques for optimizing the visual field during endoscopic decompression.
Vincent Hagel, MD (Lindau, Germany), discusses the surgical pearl of using appropriate instruments during an endoscopic posterior cervical approach to avoid spinal cord damage, as the tissue quality in the cervical spine differs from that in the lumbar spine.
Traumatic in nature, ruptures of the distal biceps 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.
This video reviews the biomechanics and function of the femur and surrounding structures as they relate to femoral shaft fractures. It also reviews epidemiology, incidence, risk factors, mechanisms of injury, signs and symptoms, diagnostic techniques, and classification systems for femoral...
Advances in bone remodeling introduce various biologic solutions for treating bone voids.
Patrick Rudersdorf, MD (Denver, CO), demonstrates the technique for inserting DynaNite® CT nitinol staples for median sternotomy closure, in conjunction with the FiberTape® sternal closure system.
Rotator cuff arthropathy encompasses the triad of advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis, a massive rotator cuff tear, and proximal humeral head migration. Current treatment concepts explore surgical advances, including joint preparation and optimization of biomechanics with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
Midcarpal instability encompasses a wide range of pathomechanics that result in palmar, dorsal, or combined instability. Critical evaluation of the multifactorial etiology of this pathology can help guide successful treatment.
