Cardiothoracic Surgery: Sternal Closure Using FiberTape® Cerclage and a DynaNite® Staple for Fragments
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...
-
Spinal Arthritis: Posterior Endoscopic Cervical Foraminotomy
Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Farshad (Zurich, Switzerland) performs a posterior endoscopic foraminotomy at the C4-C5 level.
-
Dr. Maak Demonstrates Tips and Pearls for Anterolateral Instability: X Marks the Spot
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.
-
Proximal Hamstring Tears: Endoscopic Hamstring Repair Using a Knotless SpeedBridge™ Construct
Thomas Youm, MD (New York, NY), performs a cadaveric demonstration of an endoscopic hamstring tendon repair using a knotless SpeedBridge™ construct.

Cardiothoracic Surgery: Making Metal Wire a Memory—All-Suture Sternal Closure
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.

Gastrocnemius Equinus Contracture
Resulting from neurological disorders, congenital factors, or acquired muscle shortening over time, gastrocnemius equinus contractures significantly impact normal gait and increase the risk of developing other foot or ankle pathology. Response to or failure of conservative treatment will guide indications...
-
Clavicle Fractures
Ranging from simple midshaft fractures to complex multifragment deformities, clavicle fractures require proper management to restore shoulder kinematics. Successful outcomes depend on radiographic indications for conservative treatment or surgical intervention.
-
Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is classified as a degenerative tendinopathy of the common extensor tendon of the elbow. Understanding the chronicity of this pathology is essential for appropriate treatment selection.
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Pain and paresthesia from median nerve compression in carpal tunnel syndrome can have a significant impact on functional hand use. Understanding contributing factors and the chronicity of this pathology is essential for appropriate treatment selection.
-
Flatfoot Deformities
Flatfoot deformities present along a progressive spectrum of severity and bony involvement resulting from posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Flatfoot deformities are staged and may require soft-tissue, bony, or complex reconstruction procedures for deformity correction.
-
Hallux Rigidus
Hallux rigidus presents mobility challenges in the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint, limiting normal gait and foot and ankle mechanics. Chronic cases may benefit from cheilectomy, interpositional arthroplasty, and arthrodesis procedures to improve pain and function.
-
Hallux Valgus
Hallux valgus is a common source of foot pain and deformity that can significantly impact gait and weight-bearing tolerance. Chronic cases may benefit from osteotomy and arthrodesis procedures to improve pain and function.
-
Fractures and Syndesmosis
Fractures and syndesmotic injuries can affect many of the bones that make up the foot and ankle. Varied techniques and implants are available for operative fixation.
-
Dr. Farmer Shares Tips and Pearls for Glenohumeral Joint Arthritis: Humeral Head Cutting Guide
Kevin W. Farmer, MD (Gainesville, FL), demonstrates a surgical pearl for using a captured cut guide when performing a humeral head cut during a shoulder arthroplasty procedure.
-
Arthroplasty Evolutions: An Algorithmic Approach to Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR), walks through his algorithm for implant selection when planning preoperatively and performing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
-
Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus fractures encompass a variety of different types, including unifocal, bifocal, and articular fracture patterns. Careful evaluation of the fracture pattern along with patient-specific considerations help determine the most appropriate treatment plan, ranging from nonoperative methods to surgical interventions...
-
Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior (SLAP) Tears
Superior labral tears from anterior to posterior, or SLAP tears, are a significant cause of shoulder pain and instability. The classification of SLAP tears will help guide whether conservative or surgical treatment is appropriate.

Lisfranc Injuries
Lisfranc injuries that affect the ligamentous complex supporting the tarsometatarsal articulation, or Lisfranc joint, can range from mild to severe. Operative fixation is often indicated to restore stability and function to the midfoot.
