Paul DiGiorgi, MD (Fort Myers, FL), discusses the evolution of surgical techniques for sternal closure while discussing the benefits of the FiberTape® Sternal Closure System as an advantageous alternative to conventional metal wire.
This video discusses the decision-making process and surgical management options for the treatment of tibial plateau fractures.
Proper management of tibial plateau fractures is crucial to restore stability to this intra-articular weight-bearing surface and restore function of the tibiofemoral joint. A variety of different surgical approaches and fixation techniques with plates, screws, and pins are available to...
Marc W. Gerdisch, MD (Indianapolis, IN), moderates a cadaveric demonstration performed by Zain Khalpey, MD (Scottsdale, AZ), and Patrick D. Rudersdorf, MD (Lakewood, CO), using the FiberTape® Sternal Closure System for closure of a sternotomy. A DynaNite® staple is also...
Thomas Caranasos, MD (Naples, FL), demonstrates a quick tip to help prevent inadvertent pull-through of the FiberTape® Sternal Closure System during sternotomy closure.
Clarence Owen, MD (Largo, FL), demonstrates a single interrupted suturetechnique when closing a median sternotomy.
Patrick Rudersdorf, MD (Lakewood, CO), demonstrates his preferred method for closing a median sternotomy. In this procedure, he employs an overlapping figure-of-8 technique using a dual tensioner approach.
Pablo G. Sanchez, MD (Pittsburgh, PA), performs a bilateral transverse thoracosternotomy closure using the FiberTape® Sternal Closure System, highlighting clinical pearls for optimizing the procedure.
In this video, Anand Vora, MD (Chicago, IL), demonstrates fixation of a 5th metatarsal fracture with a solid Jones screw.
Because the patella is critical to the function of the extensor mechanism, patella fractures require time-sensitive evaluation and treatment for successful outcomes. If radiographic indications for surgical intervention are present, plate, screw, and cerclage fixation techniques can be used to...
The collateral ligaments of the elbow are largely responsible for static stabilization of the elbow joint. In the setting of collateral ligament injury, critical evaluation of elbow structure and function is essential for appropriate treatment selection.
Christopher Hodgkins, MD (Miami, FL), demonstrates the FibuLock® fibular nail and TightRope® XP implant for fixation of fibular fractures with associated syndesmotic injury.
Anish R. Kadakia, MD (Chicago, IL), moderates a panel that discusses treatment options and indications for flexible and rigid flatfoot
At the Orthopedic Technology and Innovation Forum (OTIF), Bruce A. Levy, MD (Orlando, FL), reviews historical data, explains the rationale, and demonstrates the technique for an all-inside posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction.
This video reviews the fundamental biomechanics and function of the static and dynamic stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint as they relate to anterior instability.
This video discusses the decision-making process and reviews options for surgical management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairs. The InternalBrace™ surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing...
