  • General Trauma

    From minimally invasive techniques to innovative instrumentation and implants, expertise in general trauma requires a breadth of knowledge of fracture fixation and soft-tissue repair.

    • Collection

  • Ankle Instability

    Ankle instability significantly impacts gait and functional movements of the lower extremity. The severity and chronicity of ankle instability will help determine the appropriate treatment selection to maximize functional outcomes.

    • Collection

  • Acetabular Fractures

    Acetabular fractures are often the result of high-energy trauma frequently accompanied by soft-tissue considerations. Surgical fixation techniques will vary, especially if total hip arthroplasty or percutaneous fixation is indicated.

  • Soft-Tissue Augmentation

    During soft-tissue repair or reconstruction, augmentation with autografts or allografts may be used to supplement the procedures.

    • Collection

  • Thumb Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injuries

    The thumb's ulnar collateral ligament resists valgus forces. Careful evaluation of ligamentous integrity and joint stability following thumb ulnar collateral ligament injuries is needed to determine whether conservative or surgical management is indicated.

  • Lesser Toe Pathologies

    Mallet toe, hammertoe, claw toe, and crossover toe deformities are grouped together and identified as lesser toe pathologies. Due to the extent of deformity, surgical management is often indicated to help restore foot biomechanics.

    • Path

  • Posterior Glenohumeral Joint Instability

    While less common than anterior instability, posterior glenohumeral joint instability can develop from anatomic abnormalities of the shoulder, traumatic injury, or repetitive microtrauma. Understanding contributing factors and concomitant pathology will help determine when isolated soft-tissue or bony procedures are indicated.

  • Glenoid Articular Cartilage Defects

    When focal cartilage defects of the glenoid arise, cartilage-preserving techniques are paramount to prevent progression to osteoarthritis. Surgical interventions include the use of autografts, allografts, and biologic treatments.

  • Hip Arthritis

    Hip osteoarthritis presents along a spectrum of severity, requiring a patient-centered approach to treatment. Current treatment concepts focus on customizing care to optimize hip function and patient outcomes.

    • Path

  • Scapholunate Ligament (SLL) Injuries

    The scapholunate ligament (SLL) and associated joint are integral to wrist structure and function. Scapholunate ligament injuries may require ligament repair, reconstruction, or other surgical intervention to restore stability to the wrist.

    • Path

  • Thumb Carpometacarpal (CMC) Arthritis

    Repetitive compression, progressive joint instability, and shear forces in palmar contact areas lead to articular cartilage loss and thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritic staging helps guide appropriate treatment selection, including nonoperative methods or surgical interventions like trapeziectomy, ligament reconstruction tendon...

  • Calcaneus Fractures

    Calcaneus fractures vary in severity depending on the amount of displacement and intra-articular involvement. Careful evaluation of the fracture pattern, along with patient-specific considerations, helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
