  • Clavicle Fractures

    Ranging from simple midshaft fractures to complex multifragment deformities, clavicle fractures require proper management to restore shoulder kinematics. Successful outcomes depend on radiographic indications for conservative treatment or surgical intervention.

  • Pre-op Preparation for Post-op Results

    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.

    • Duration 7m

  • Hallux Valgus

    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.

  • Addressing the Enthesis

    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...

  • Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior (SLAP) Tears

    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.

  • Lisfranc Injuries

    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.

  • Advancements in High Tibial Osteotomy

    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.

    • Duration 8m

  • Coronoid Fractures

    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...

    • Path

  • Radial Head Fractures and Terrible Triad Injuries

    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.

    • Path

  • Articular Cartilage Pathologies of the Shoulder

    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...

  • Scapula Fractures

    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.

    • Path

  • Soft-Tissue Trauma and Dislocations

    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.

    • Collection

  • Innovations in Trauma Surgery

    Explore innovations in trauma solutions, including the latest fracture fixation and soft-tissue repair techniques.

    • Path

  • 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...

  • 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.

    • Path

  • 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.

  • Distal Radius Fractures

    One of the most common fracture types, distal radius fractures are often associated with concomitant hand and wrist injuries, frequently following a fall onto an outstretched hand. Successful outcomes depend on radiographic indications for conservative treatment or surgical intervention.
