At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Stephen F. Brockmeier, MD (Charlottesville, VA), provides a historical perspective on the treatment of anterior glenoid bone loss and introduces a novel technique to tackle this challenging pathology. He shares his evolution...
Christopher Adams, MD (Naples, FL), and Misty Suri, MD (New Orleans, LA), demonstrate the technique and order of operations for combining a rotator cable reconstruction with a biologic tuberoplasty to treat massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. They briefly review the...
At the Complex and Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty course, Anthony A. Romeo, MD (Chicago, IL), presents techniques for removing the glenoid component during revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and associated consequences.
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Rachel M. Frank, MD (Denver, CO), shares considerations for using autograft biceps tissue to augment rotator cuff repairs. Dr. Frank walks through this technique step by step, sharing tips and technical pearls.
At Cowboy Way, the Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy course, Justin W. Griffin, MD (Virginia Beach, VA), discusses biologic techniques for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears, focusing on the biologic tuberoplasty procedure and highlighting his patient selection considerations and early patient outcomes.
Ganglion cysts of the dorsal wrist are characterized by synovial metaplasia and herniation with capsular involvement. This common soft tumor most often originates from the scapholunate ligament with surgical indications for open or arthroscopic resection.
The distal radioulnar joint, or DRUJ, is a complex articulation that is dependent on a multitude of static and dynamic stabilizers. Careful evaluation of the various factors that contribute to distal radioulnar joint instability is key for determining appropriate treatment.
Justin W. Griffin, MD (Virginia Beach, VA), discusses important considerations when determining the amount of backside seating in both anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty using the Virtual Implant Positioning™ (VIP™) preoperative planning system.
Mollie Manley, MD (Akron, OH), demonstrates the anatomic C scapholunate ligament reconstruction with InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation technique for chronic complete dissociation of the scapholunate interval. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue...
At the Hand and Wrist Master Class: Carpal Instabilities, Steven Niedermeier, MD (Arlington, TX), defines the nondissociative midcarpal instability patterns—including palmar, dorsal, combined, and adaptive pathologies and discusses nonoperative and operative approaches to management.
Wesley P. Phipatanakul, MD (Loma Linda, CA), demonstrates a quick tip forestablishing initial triangulation in the subacromial space during shoulder arthroscopy.
One of the many causes of anterior shoulder pain, biceps tendinopathy often occurs with concomitant shoulder pathology. Treatment options range from conservative methods to surgical interventions, including tenotomy and various tenodesis techniques.
Michael Gallizzi, MD (Denver, CO), presents on the importance of ligamentous stability in the cervical spine. Dr. Gallizzi explains the preliminary outcomes of the Balgrist research in relation to surgical dissection and ALL repair in the cervical spine.
Flatfoot deformities present along a progressive spectrum of severity and bony involvement resulting from posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Flatfoot deformities are staged and may require soft-tissue, bony, or complex reconstruction procedures for deformity correction.
At the Cardiothoracic Symposium, Thomas Caranasos, MD (Naples, FL), discusses the benefits of the use of platelet-rich plasma, the Thrombinator™ device, and JumpStart® antimicrobial dressing in cardiothoracic surgery.
Michael Huang, MD (Colorado Springs, CO), reviews pertinent literature on the shift to close the capsule in the majority of patients following hip arthroscopy and discusses the benefits on outcomes.
Asheesh Bedi, MD (Chicago, IL), provides an update to the current literature on FAI and explores operative considerations to help maximize future patient outcomes.
