Mashup Score: 53Discoid Lateral Meniscus Evaluation and Treatment - 17 hour(s) ago
Discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) is a variant of meniscal histomorphology that often presents in young, active pediatric populations. Patients may present with mechanical symptoms, joint line pain, swelling, and loss of motion especially with lack of terminal knee extension. DLM are prone to tearing, most frequently with horizontal patterns in children and complex patterns in adults. The PRiSM classification and assessment of DLM provide a comprehensive approach to evaluating DLMs arthroscopically, focusing on the following four factors: (1) meniscal width, (2) meniscal height, (3) stability, and (4) the presence of tearing.

Mashup Score: 41Top Ten Pearls for a Successful Subscapularis Repair - 3 day(s) ago
Although less common than other rotator cuff pathologies, subscapularis tears are associated with significant functional impairment. Thoughtful patient evaluation is necessary to identify patients with this important injury. Careful radiographic examination and thorough preoperative planning facilitates successful repair of subscapularis tendon tears and associated injuries. Finally, patient adherence to postoperative rehabilitation protocols allows for ultimate restoration of function. In this Technical Note, the authors outline 10 critical points regarding the evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of subscapularis tears supported by recent literature and institutional experience performing subscapularis repairs.

Patellar tendon ruptures are relatively uncommon injuries that often occur in the setting of chronic patellar tendinopathy, particularly in those participating in high-level pivoting sports and jumping athletics secondary to overuse. Tear patterns vary, with the most common being avulsions from the inferior pole of the patella. For complete tears resulting in extensor mechanism compromise, surgical treatment typically entails acute repair. In this technique, we describe the use of a bioinductive bovine collagen implant to augment a patellar tendon repair in the setting of chronic patellar tendinopathy.

Mashup Score: 18Basics of Ankle Arthroscopy Part 6: Peroneal Tendoscopy: Surface Anatomy, Portal Placement, and Diagnostic Evaluation - 4 day(s) ago
Peroneal tendoscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the treatment of pathologies of the peroneal tendon. In this article, the basics of peroneal tendoscopy are reviewed, including the relevant surface anatomy, portal placement, and diagnostic tendoscopic techniques. We also compare the benefits and limitations associated with performing this peroneal tendoscopy with a 1.9-mm 0° needle endoscope compared to using a 2.7-mm or 4.0-mm 30° endoscope.

Ankle arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the treatment of pathologies of the ankle joint. In a series of 7 articles, the basics of ankle arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (Part II), anterior ankle surface anatomy, portal placement, and diagnostic arthroscopy are reviewed. We also review benefits and drawbacks associated with a 1.9-mm 0° arthroscope in comparison to a standard 2.7-mm or 4.0-mm 30° arthroscope.

Surgical treatment of patellar dislocation poses a challenge in skeletally immature patients. The traditional approach of lateral release and medial imbrication carries a high probability of recurrence. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction recently has become a popular procedure for patellofemoral instability, but its broad application in immature skeletal systems is limited by the risk of injury to epiphyseal plate. Herein, we describe an alternative surgical strategy whereby medial patellar retinaculum cable transfer is done in conjunction with anchoring suture reinforcement and medial tightening.

Accurate positioning of the femoral insertion of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the main difficulty in MPFL reconstruction. This article describes an all-arthroscopic MPFL reconstruction procedure. Preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography assists in MPFL patellar and femoral insertion positioning, with arthroscopic reconfirmation of femoral insertion positioning through a subcutaneous tunnel during surgery. In the socket-anchor technique for patellar insertion fixation, a 10-mm-deep bone tunnel (socket) is created along a previously located guide pin at the MPFL patellar insertion; then, an absorbable suture anchor is inserted into the end of the socket to fix the tendon graft.
