In this episode, host Christopher Adams, MD, and leading surgeons provide insight into the innovative use of preoperative planning and review relevant scientific literature. Joining Dr. Adams in the studio are Asheesh Bedi, MD (Chicago IL); and Patrick J. Denard,...
In this episode, leading surgeons explore how emerging innovations in technology are creating an exciting new imaging platform for surgeons. Joining host Christopher Adams, MD, are in-studio guests, Brian Smith, MD, (Naples, FL); Benjamin Barckley Storey, MD, (Naples, FL); and...
In this episode, leading surgeons discuss the most advanced treatment options for maximizing shoulder arthroplasty outcomes with preoperative planning using the Virtual Implant Positioning™ (VIP™) system. Joining host Christopher Adams, MD, are in-studio guests Anthony A. Romeo, MD, (Chicago, IL);...
The integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is essential for translational and rotatory knee kinematics. Current treatment concepts explore advances in arthroscopic techniques, including guidelines for reconstruction and repair, graft selection, and suture augmentation techniques.
Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR), reviews key data and literature to support the decision-making process for adding biologic augmentation to a rotator cuff repair.
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.
At the Spine Evolutions course, Sohrab Gollogly, MD (Monterey, CA), provides an overview of endoscopic spine surgery with a focus on medial branch nerve transection.
Vincent Hagel, MD (Lindau, Germany), discusses the surgical pearl of using appropriate instruments during an endoscopic posterior cervical approach to avoid spinal cord damage, as the tissue quality in the cervical spine differs from that in the lumbar spine.
At the Spine Evolutions course, Vincent Hagel, MD (Lindau, Germany), presents on endoscopic treatment in relation to iatrogenic and intraoperative dural tears.
Justin W. Griffin, MD (Virginia Beach, VA), demonstrates an innovative technique, biologic tuberoplasty, for irreparable rotator cuff tears. He uses this simple technique to fixate the ArthroFlex dermal allograft to the tuberosity, providing a protective covering that may prevent humeral-acromial...
At the Cardiothoracic Symposium, Marc Gerdisch, MD (Indianapolis, IN), discusses the benefits of minimally invasive approaches to the heart via thoracotomy with the use of FiberTape® cerclage for thoracotomy closure.
At the Trauma On-Call course, Jonah Hebert-Davies, MD (Orange, CA), reviews clinical considerations when choosing implants for reverse shoulder arthroplasty and provides literature-backed rationale for fixing the tuberosities.
Ryan B. Rigby, DPM (Logan, UT), demonstrates the clinical advantages of using the NanoNeedle Scope for diagnostic ankle arthroscopy and subsequent surgical treatment for various ankle pathologies.
Justin J. Mitchell, MD (La Crosse, WI), uses a hay-bale–type suture configuration for a horizontal cleavage meniscus tear using the FiberStitch™ 1.5 implant.
Ajay C. Lall, MD (Paramus, NJ), discusses the current literature surrounding the benefits of arthroscopic hip labral repair and reviews patient-outcome data that can influence clinical decision-making when treating these injuries.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Proper management of tibial plateau fractures is crucial to restore stability to this intra-articular weight-bearing surface and restore function of the tibiofemoral joint. A variety of different surgical approaches and fixation techniques with plates, screws, and pins are available to...
