Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Injuries
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...

Osteochondral Injuries of the Hip
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.
-
Femoral Head Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
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.
-
Internal Snapping Hip Syndrome
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.
-
Peritrochanteric Hip Pathologies
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...

Proximal Hamstring Tears
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.

Subtrochanteric Fractures
Occurring within the 5 cm of femoral shaft distal to the lesser trochanter, subtrochanteric fractures can result from either low-energy or high-energy trauma. Intramedullary nails are commonly used to stabilize this fracture pattern.
