Hallux Valgus: Alternative Method for Medial Spike Management in MIS Bunionectomy
Noman A. Siddiqui, DPM (Baltimore, MD), demonstrates a refined MIS technique to address the medial spike following metatarsal translation by preserving and repurposing residual bone that would typically be removed as local autograft. This approach leverages native bone to support healing...

Hallux Valgus: MIS Bunion Surgery Practical Tips, Key Landmarks, and Fluoroscopy Views
Noman A. Siddiqui, DPM (Baltimore, MD), provides a step-by-step surgical demonstration of the Arthrex MIS Bunionectomy System with the triangulation guide, focusing on critical anatomic landmarks, fluoroscopic cues, and practical tips and tricks.

Spinal Stenosis: Endoscopic Lumbar Decompression
Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Farshad (Zürich, Switzerland), demonstrates an interlaminar contralateral endoscopic approach for lumbar decompression to treat foraminal stenosis.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: When and How?
At the Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy: The Cowboy Way course, Kevin W. Farmer, MD (Gainesville, FL), reviews the evolving role of reverse shoulder arthroplasty for rotator cuff tear arthropathy, emphasizing that glenoid lateralization, inferior glenosphere positioning, and optimized implant design are key factors...

Articular Cartilage Pathologies of the Foot and Ankle
Commonly resulting from trauma or idiopathic subchondral ischemia, articular cartilage pathologies of the talus often lead to pain and disability. Early surgical intervention can halt the progression to global cartilage loss and preserve the function of the ankle.
