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.
At the Arthroplasty Evolutions course, Asheesh Bedi, MD (Ann Arbor, MI), discusses his approach in using measurements from different imaging modalities to plan for his shoulder arthroplasty procedures.
At the Arthroplasty Evolutions course, Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR), shares how he educates and optimizes patients ahead of shoulder arthroplasty surgery, in addition to providing the steps he takes to control surgical factors.
At the Arthroplasty Evolutions course, Patrick J. Denard, MD (Medford, OR), walks through his algorithm for implant selection when planning preoperatively and performing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
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.
Anthony A. Romeo, MD (Chicago, IL), discusses current literature regarding options in UCL surgery and reviews repair and reconstruction techniques augmented with the InternalBrace™ procedure. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of...
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum, Patrick A. Smith, MD (Naples, FL), reviews current evidence on rotator cuff retears, emphasizing the biologic challenges of early healing and the clinical impact of incomplete enthesis restoration. It further outlines a biologically...
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.
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.
At the Approaching Fellowship course, John T. Riehl, MD (Dallas, TX), discusses the lateral, direct anterior, and posteromedial (Lobenhoffer) approaches for tibial plateau ORIF.
At the Approaching Fellowship course, John David Adams Jr, MD (Greenville, SC), discusses surgical approaches to the acetabulum. Pearls for the Kocher-Langenbeck, ilioinguinal, and anterior intrapelvic ("Stoppa") approaches are discussed with case examples.
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.
During the Endoscopic Approaches to Spine Level II course, Michael A. Gallizzi, MD (Vail, CO), delivers surgical insights on the trans-SAP approach to endoscopic discectomy, emphasizing patient selection, demonstrating practical techniques, and providing support with real case examples.
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.
