Distal Femur Fractures
Distal femur fractures can be treated with a variety of surgical approaches. The level of comminution and intra-articular involvement will help determine plating and nailing fixation options.

Radial neck fractures vary in their level of bony displacement and effect on elbow function. If they impede elbow range of motion, surgical management is typically indicated to restore arm and forearm functions
While less common than lateral instability, medial ankle instability typically results from damage to two or more components of the deltoid ligament complex. Treatment options for medial ankle instability range from conservative methods to surgical interventions, including repair, reconstruction, and...
In this episode host Christopher Adams, MD, and leading surgeons provide insight into the innovative use of the SutureLoc implant for meniscal root repair and review relevant scientific literature. Joining Dr. Adams in-studio are Aaron J. Krych MD (Rochester, MN),...
At the Complex and Revision Rotator Cuff Surgery course, Katherine Burns, MD (St. Louis, MO), highlights technique tips and pearls for interval slides and discusses the role they play in the rotator cuff tear continuum.
Glenohumeral osteoarthritis presents along a spectrum of severity, requiring a patient-centered approach to treatment. Current treatment concepts explore advances in arthroplasty techniques, including guidelines for joint preparation, implant selection and positioning, and revision cases.
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.
Anthony A. Romeo, MD (Chicago, IL), demonstrates a surgical pearl for simplifying insertion of the glenosphere during reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
Thomas G. Harris, MD (Pasadena, CA), discusses and reviews literature regarding whether the deltoid ligament should be repaired in the setting of acute trauma.
At the Trauma Fellowship Forum, Mark J. Gage, MD (Baltimore, MD), discusses pearls for percutaneous anterior column screws and techniques for percutaneous pelvis reduction with an audience of orthopedic trauma fellows.
Disc disease is one of the most common causes of neck and back pain and disability. Current concepts explore surgical advances in interlaminar and transforaminal endoscopic discectomy approaches for addressing degenerative disc involvement.
Asheesh Bedi, MD (Chicago, IL), Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR),Justin W. Griffin, MD (Virginia Beach, VA), Evan Lederman, MD (Phoenix, AZ), and Brian C. Werner, MD (Charlottesville, VA), review the most impactful literature in shoulder arthroplasty from 2024.
