Thomas M. DeBerardino, MD (San Antonio, TX), demonstrates a GraftLink® PCL reconstruction using the TightRope® II 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 healing...
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...
At the Hand and Wrist Fellowship Forum, Damon C. Adamany, MD (Phoenix, AZ), leads a case-based panel discussion with Michael Garcia, MD (Tampa, FL), Walter McClelland, MD (Atlanta, GA), Mollie Manley, MD (Akron, OH), and Steven J. Lee, MD (New York, NY), focusing first on olecranon fracture fixation,...
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 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 examples, he highlights...
Foraminal stenosis and associated nerve entrapment are often sequelae to disc injury or degenerative spinal changes. Advances in endoscopic approaches for foraminotomy procedures can help minimize nerve damage, radiculopathy, and chronic pain.
At the Sports Medicine Fellowship Forum, Sommer Hammoud, MD (Philadelphia, PA), reviews historical and modern indications, patient selection, and surgical techniques for primary ACL repair supported by current biomechanical data.
Arthroscopy enables direct visualization of hand and wrist pathology through small portal incisions, supporting minimally invasive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment while minimizing soft-tissue disruption. Explore the latest advances in arthroscopic techniques and essential tips for hand and wrist 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.
This video reviews key surgical principles in the management of olecranon fractures, including patient positioning, surgical approach, and fixation techniques.
Kaitlin Neary, MD (Boise, ID), reviews the technique steps for using the Syndesmosis TightRope® PRO implant for syndesmosis repair.
Carl T. Hasselman, MD (Bridgeport, WV), demonstrates a bunion correction using the Arthrex Lapidus I-beam plate, and highlights the benefits of the plate and associated instrumentation.
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...
Alan A. MacGill, DPM (Coral Springs, FL), reviews current literature surrounding lateral ankle instability treatments and discusses the significance of global ankle instability evaluation and management when treating ankle instability.
Arthroscopy enables direct visualization of hip pathology through small portal incisions, supporting minimally invasive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment while minimizing soft-tissue disruption. Explore the latest advances in arthroscopic techniques and essential tips for hip arthroscopy.
During the Endoscopic Approaches to Spine Level II course, Michael A. Gallizzi, MD (Vail, CO), delivers surgical insights on the trans-SAP approach to endoscopic discectomy, emphasizing patient selection, demonstrating practical techniques, and providing support with real case examples.
