Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a mechanical impingement in the hip joint, often leading to labral and cartilage damage. Understanding the relevant bony anatomy and pathomechanics of FAI and labral tears is key for determining treatment options, ranging from nonoperative methods...
Patellar instability resulting from patellofemoral joint pathologies ranges from intermittent subluxation to complete dislocation events. Critical evaluation of the mechanisms of injury and anatomic variations of the patellofemoral joint is essential for appropriate treatment selection.
This video reviews the fundamental biomechanics and function of the rotator cuff muscles and tendons.
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...
Advances in arthroscopic instrumentation and surgical techniques allow for minimally invasive treatment of hand, wrist, and elbow trauma to minimize scarring and iatrogenic injury risk.
Noman A. Siddiqui, DPM (Baltimore, MD), presents an MIS midfoot osteotomy performed on a sawbones model and cadaveric specimen. The video focuses on technical pearls regarding portal placement, osteotomy planes, and appropriate burr selection. Clinical applications are discussed, showing how this...
At the Hand and Wrist Fellowship Forum, Joshua Hustedt, MD (Phoenix, AZ), reviews indications, anatomy, and portal placement essentials for elbow arthroscopy.
Carl H. Wierks, MD (Grand Rapids, MI), demonstrates the surgical technique for performing an arthroscopic capsulotomy of the hip using the retractable cannulated knife.
Olecranon fractures can affect the stability of the elbow by disrupting the articulation with the distal humerus. Proper surgical fixation of this bony projection is needed to maintain elbow mechanics and decrease injury risk to the ulnar nerve.
Rachel M. Frank, MD (Denver, CO), demonstrates an all-inside quadriceps ACL reconstruction using the FiberTag® TightRope® SB implant with the InternalBrace™ technique. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the...
James M. Paci, MD (Long Island, NY), demonstrates an ACL reconstruction with a BTB autograft that has been harvested and prepared with the TightRope® II implant. Using the InternalBrace™ technique, a FiberSnare® nitinol guidewire independently routes FiberTape® sutures through the cannulation...
At the OrthoPedic Technology and Innovation Forum, John J. Christoforetti, MD (Bethesda, MD), asks Justin J. Mitchell, MD (La Crosse, WI), to break down his biomechanical and clinical data comparing transtibial pullout repair to knotless all-suture anchor techniques for meniscal...
Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries can occur in isolation or with concomitant knee injuries. MCL tear classification will help determine whether conservative or surgical treatment is appropriate.
In this episode, leading surgeons walk through key steps and share technique pearls on glenoid positioning and depth of reaming for glenoid component placement during reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Joining host Christopher Adams, MD, are in-studio guests Asheesh Bedi, MD...
At the Hand and Wrist Fellowship Forum, Asif M. Ilyas, MD (Philadelphia, PA), reviews the latest literature-supported treatment strategies in carpal tunnel release, including open and endoscopic techniques, coupled with a focus on WALANT surgery.
Mark Mahan, MD (Salt Lake City, UT), shares a surgical tip of using sequential dilators to stay localized during the approach for a far lateral discectomy at the L5-S1 level.
At the Approaching Fellowship course, Derek J. Donegan, MD (Philadelphia, PA), discusses clinical considerations of the posterior approach to the elbow and how to modify the approach according to the pathology being treated.
The ankle syndesmosis plays an integral role in stabilizing the ankle joint. Syndesmotic injuries commonly occur with concomitant ankle injury and require careful evaluation of the injury pattern to help determine treatment options, ranging from nonoperative methods to surgical interventions...
Charles J. Jordan, MD (Miami, FL), reviews proximal humeral plate options and demonstrates the surgical technique for the ALPHA plate using an extended deltopectoral approach.
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.
