Title: Glenohumeral Joint Rotator Cuff Arthropathy: Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty and Humerus Preparation With Univers Reversâ„¢ Implant System In this video, Patrick J Denard, MD (Medford, OR) and Anthony A. Romeo, MD (New York, NY) demonstrates humerus preparation in reverse...
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.
Cellular and molecular treatments encompass autologous blood products, bone marrow aspirate, and other cell-based therapies. These biologics hold promising potential in advancing orthopedic surgery.
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.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), John D. Adams, MD (Greenville, SC), reviews the latest literature highlighting trends in the surgical management of intertrochanteric fractures and the associated clinical outcomes.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum, Matthew T. Provencher, MD (Vail, CO), reviews the evolution of high tibial osteotomy techniques, highlighting improvements in planning, instrumentation, fixation, and bone-grafting approaches.
While the coronoid process is a much smaller bony projection than the neighboring olecranon, fractures can similarly result in loss of elbow function. Proper fixation of coronoid fractures is essential to maintain upper extremity biomechanics and eliminate instability of the...
Posterolateral elbow dislocation, coronoid process fractures, and radial head fractures are grouped together and identified as terrible triad injuries. Successful outcomes depend on radiographic indications for varied surgical fixation techniques.
Commonly resulting from trauma, recurrent instability, or as a postoperative complication, articular cartilage pathologies of the glenohumeral joint often lead to pain and disability. Early surgical intervention can halt the progression to global cartilage loss and preserve the function of...
Ranging from simple fractures to complex cases involving bony displacement and intra-articular involvement with the glenohumeral joint, scapula fractures require proper management to restore shoulder kinematics. Successful outcomes depend on radiographic indications for conservative treatment or surgical intervention.
Working in concert with the ACL, the anterolateral ligament (ALL) plays a role in providing rotatory stability to the knee. Current treatment concepts focus on lateral extra-articular procedures to reduce residual instability after knee injury.
Soft-tissue trauma and dislocations present unique challenges in trauma management due to capsular, ligamentous, and tendinous involvement. Proper management of fracture fixation and/or soft-tissue repair is paramount to preserve joint stability and kinematics.
The collateral ligaments are critical for maintaining medial and lateral knee stability. Injury classification and whether an injury occurs in isolation or contributes to multiligamentous instability will help guide whether conservative or surgical treatment is indicated.
Explore innovations in trauma solutions, including the latest fracture fixation and soft-tissue repair techniques.
A palmar distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint injury, otherwise known as jersey flexor digitorum profundus from the distal phalanx. Surgical intervention can restore alignment to preserve function and prevent deformity.
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a conglomerate of soft-tissue structures on the ulnar side of the wrist that plays a significant biomechanical role in wrist mobility and stabilization. The severity and chronicity of TFCC injuries will help determine the...
When focal cartilage defects of the hip arise, cartilage-preserving techniques are paramount to prevent progression to osteoarthritis. Surgical interventions include the use of autografts, allografts, and biologic treatments.
The femoral head is the most common site for avascular necrosis (AVN), which can lead to subchondral bone loss and joint dysfunction from vascular compromise. Joint-preserving treatment options are available, but early diagnosis is essential to take this route.
True internal snapping hip syndrome, or coxa saltans interna, is rare. The ability to correctly identify this pathology is key for determining an appropriate treatment plan and surgical management, if needed.
Trochanteric bursitis, coxa saltans externa, and abductor tendinopathy and tears are grouped together and identified as greater trochanteric pain syndrome. A thorough history and physical examination are essential for an accurate diagnosis to help differentiate these lateral hip conditions from...
Most hamstring tears occur proximally. Whether a proximal hamstring tear occurs in the muscle belly or musculotendinous junction or is classified as an avulsion tear will help guide whether conservative or surgical treatment is indicated.
