Mashup Score: 0Basics of Shoulder Arthroscopy Part IV: Diagnostic Arthroscopy in the Lateral Decubitus Position - 5 hour(s) ago
Shoulder arthroscopy is a versatile method for treating a variety of shoulder pathologies in a minimally invasive manner. Typically, it is performed with the patient positioned in a beach-chair or lateral decubitus position with the latter being conventionally preferred for shoulder instability work given the use of traction and creation of a distracted joint. This allows ideal visualization and accessibility of the anterior, inferior, and posterior aspects of the glenoid, labrum, and axillary pouch.

Mashup Score: 7Modified Centralization Technique of Tibial Side Capsulodesis for Radial Tear of Incomplete Discoid Lateral Meniscus - 5 day(s) ago
An incomplete discoid lateral meniscus is often associated with radial tears, which cause meniscal extrusion and result in poor healing outcomes. Centralization has recently been used as a surgical method to reduce extrusion. However, various repair techniques use single point of fixation sutures exclusively on the femoral side, potentially hindering healing. In this study, a method is devised in which 2 anchor sutures are placed on the tibia and guided out of the capsule from the tibial side of the meniscus, and another anchor is placed distally to tighten the meniscotibial ligament in a plane.

Three-dimensional (3D) modeling using digital or printed models provides a unique perspective that caters to cognitive spatial ability in a way that can add to our understanding and mental representations of human anatomy. This is particularly useful in the setting of trochlear dysplasia, where the morphology of the groove can exhibit substantial variability and complexity. Using 3D reformatted images and models, a pragmatic understanding of how morphology influences patellofemoral pathology can be gleaned.

Mashup Score: 70Circumferential Fiber Augmentation Technique Combined With Transtibial Pullout Repair - 7 day(s) ago
This Technical Note presents a surgical approach that combines circumferential fiber augmentation with transtibial pullout repair for the treatment of medial meniscal posterior root tears. To address the challenge of meniscal extrusion and subsequent joint space narrowing that predisposes to osteoarthritis, this technique uses an artificial ligament to add circumferential collagen fiber reinforcement to improve meniscal extrusion. This integrated approach is designed to address the limitations of conventional tibial pullout repairs by potentially providing better results in preventing meniscal extrusion.

Mashup Score: 149Biplanar Lateral Hemi-Wedge Osteotomy for the Correction of Severe Tibial Varus Deformity - 8 day(s) ago
Indication for this hemi-wedge high tibial osteotomy is the combination of medial osteoarthritis or cartilage damage, varus deformity of >10°, and medial proximal tibial angle of <80°. The proximal lateral tibia is exposed via a skin incision of approximately 10 cm length between the tibial tuberosity and the head of the fibula. After detachment of the anterior tibial muscle, a first oblique guidewire marks the main osteotomy plane and a second guidewire marks the hemi-wedge. Then, the osteotomy is performed along the guidewires with an oscillating saw and the laterally based wedge is removed.

Inside-out repair of meniscal tears is the gold standard surgical approach; however, its use is limited by the need for a posterior incision and neurovascular risk. In this Technical Report, we present details of the all-inside arthroscopic tie-grip approach for repairing a radial tear of the midbody of the lateral meniscus using an all-inside device (TRUESPAN) and a slotted cannula. In contrast to the inside-out approach, this technique helps reduce surgical invasiveness and provides stable fixation as the vertical mattress sutures bundle the circumferential fibers and act as rip stops for the horizontal sutures.

Mashup Score: 34Endoscopic Retrofibular Groove Deepening for Management of Type A Intrasheath Peroneal Tendon Subluxation - 9 day(s) ago
In intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation, the peroneal tendons subluxate on each other within the retrofibular peroneal tendon sheath. Two subtypes can be distinguished: type A, in which the tendons are normal, and type B, in which the peroneus brevis tendon has an associated longitudinal split and the peroneus longus tendon subluxates through this tendon split. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the details of endoscopic retrofibular groove deepening for management of type A intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation.

Mashup Score: 22
Periprosthetic fractures of the lesser trochanter may migrate proximally and result in anterior mechanical irritation and impingement with hip flexion refractory to comprehensive conservative management. In such cases, patients may benefit from arthroscopic resection of the displaced lesser trochanteric fragment. We present a minimally invasive, arthroscopic approach with initial access through an air bursogram. This technique can be performed percutaneously, with standard access cannulas, without the need for additional disposable instrumentation or large cannulas.
