Mashup Score: 3“Over-the-Top” Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Associated With a Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis in Children - 1 year(s) ago
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most frequent injuries in growing children, and they are often associated with other injuries such as meniscal and chondral injuries. In the past, treatment of ACL tears in growing patients relied on activity modification and bracing. However, surgical treatment has prevailed over conservative treatment in recent years. A surgical technique is…

The popliteus tendon plays a critical role in restraining the tibia against external rotation. It is often injured in the setting of posterolateral corner injuries. However, it is rarely injured in isolation from other structures of the posterolateral corner. This Technical Note describes an open anatomic reconstruction of the popliteus tendon. Although several techniques exist, this technique…

Management of chronic patellar instability in patients with open physis requires special reconstruction techniques to minimize the risks of femoral growth plate injury due to the close proximity of the open physis to the native femoral origin of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Children and adolescents have a relatively smaller patella than the adult group, so, there is a higher risk of…

Mashup Score: 4Surgeon-Directed Arthroscopic Infiltration Between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee (IPACK) Block: Technical Description - 1 year(s) ago
Advances in regional anesthesia techniques for knee surgery have led to drastic improvements in postoperative pain control and have reduced reliance on perioperative opioid analgesics. The infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee (IPACK) block has been a useful tool for providing posterior knee analgesia as an adjuvant to traditional femoral or adductor canal blocks in…

Mashup Score: 0Arthroscopic Anterior Shoulder Capsular Reconstruction Using Human Acellular Dermal Graft in Conjunction With Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction - 1 year(s) ago
Capsular insufficiency of the shoulder associated with glenoid bone loss poses a major challenge to orthopaedic surgeons in the management of recurrent anterior instability. Multiple surgical techniques have been described in the literature with varying rates of success, and the majority of these are open techniques. We present a complete arthroscopic technique for anterior capsular…

Mashup Score: 7Re-tensionable Quadriceps Tendon Repair Technique - 1 year(s) ago
Quadriceps tendon rupture is a devastating injury that has traditionally been repaired using bone tunnels and knot tying. Recent innovations seeking to address persistent weakness and gap formation of repairs have used suture anchors and knotless technology. Despite these innovations, the clinical outcomes of these repairs continue to be mixed. We describe a technique that leverages a pre-tied…

Anterior shoulder instability remains one of the main indications for shoulder surgery. We present a modified way of treating anterior shoulder instability in the beach-chair position from an anterior arthroscopic approach through the rotator interval. This technique opens the rotator interval, which increases the working area and allows us to work without cannulae. Through this approach, we can…

Mashup Score: 3Retrograde - 1 year(s) ago
The management of deep osteochondral lesions is a subject of great controversy. Despite multiple studies and research efforts, it has not been possible to establish an ideal technique for their treatment. The main goal of all available treatments is to avoid the progress toward early osteoarthritis. Hence, this article will present a one-step technique for the handling of osteochondral lesions…

Mashup Score: 0Surgical Technique: Wide Arthroscopic Dorsal Capsuloligamentous Repair for Advanced Scapholunate Instability - 1 year(s) ago
In the most advanced cases of scapholunate instability with dynamic or static signs, classical arthroscopic repair seems impossible. Ligamentoplasties or open surgery procedures are technically demanding, hampered by significant operative complications and often stiffening. Therapeutic simplification is therefore necessary for the management of these complex cases of advanced scapholunate…

Arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears can be technically challenging but is achievable in many cases. Performing adequate releases are important for successful tendon mobility and avoiding excessive tension in the final repair, thus restoring the native anatomy and biomechanics. This Technical Note provides a step-by-step approach to release and mobilize massive rotator cuff tears to…
