Marc W. Gerdisch, MD (Indianapolis, IN), reviews the historic technique for sternal closure with metal wires and how technology is changing the way sternotomies are treated following cardiothoracic surgery.
Stephen A. Parada, MD (Augusta, GA), demonstrates a posterior glenoid labral repair using Knotless 1.8 FiberTak® soft anchors. He describes a technique for sequential tensioning of the repair sutures to dial in the desired tension for each anchor.
Paul DiGiorgi, MD (Fort Myers, FL), discusses the evolution of surgical techniques for sternal closure while discussing the benefits of using FiberTape ® cerclage as an advantageous alternative to conventional metal wire.
Thomas Youm, MD (New York, NY), performs a cadaveric demonstration of an endoscopic hamstring tendon repair using a knotless SpeedBridge™ construct.
Travis G. Maak, MD (Salt Lake City, UT), shows a quick tip for ensuring secure fixation of the IT band graft when performing a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) using the Double Knotless Knee FiberTak® anchor.
Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Farshad (Zurich, Switzerland) performs a posterior endoscopic foraminotomy at the C4-C5 level.
Marc W. Gerdisch, MD (Indianapolis, IN), moderates a cadaveric demonstration performed by Zain Khalpey, MD (Scottsdale, AZ), and Patrick D. Rudersdorf, MD (Lakewood, CO), using the FiberTape® Cerclage system for closure of a sternotomy. A DynaNite® staple is also used...
Jeffrey Guy, MD (Columbia, SC), demonstrates a primary medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) repair using all-suture Knee FiberTak® anchors and the InternalBrace™ technique. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue...
Benton A. Emblom, MD (Birmingham, AL), demonstrates a double-row gluteus medius repair through an endoscopic approach using 4 retensionable all-suture anchors.
Raymond J. Gardocki, MD (Nashville, TN), discusses endoscopic fusions and why the endoscopic approach is beneficial to patients. Dr. Gardocki notes there are no limitations by the traditional approach corridors, which allows an approach to the pathology from the best...
Grant H. Garcia, MD (Seattle, WA), shows a quick tip on how he maximizes tension when using the FiberStitch™ 1.5 implant for an all-inside meniscal repair.
In this video, Anand Vora, MD (Chicago, IL), demonstrates fixation of a 5th metatarsal fracture with a solid Jones screw.
Jim C. Hsu, MD (Greenwich, CT), demonstrates a distal PCL avulsion repair using the PCL Repair TightRope® implant and FiberRing™ sutures. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during...
Dr. med. Vincent Hagel (Zurich, Switzerland), reviews which types of disc herniations are best removed via the transforaminal endoscopic approach. Dr. med. Hagel also discusses limitations of the transforaminal approach, including L5-S1, foraminal stenosis, and a low exiting nerve root.
Justin W. Griffin, MD (Virginia Beach, VA), and Raffy Mirzayan, MD (Los Angeles, CA), introduce the technique for biologic tuberoplasty, highlighting its evolution and patient selection factors, and provide pearls for efficiency.
