Chondral defects of the knee are prevalent and often encountered during arthroscopic procedures. Despite limited healing potential chondral defects, several treatment options have been proposed. However, microfracture, osteochondral autograft (or allograft) transfer, autologous chondrocyte implantation, matrix-induced implantation all associated with their respective shortcomings. As such, optimal for remains unclear. Recently, many authors advocated treating biological therapies...
Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has become an increasingly popular choice in the treatment of massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, pseudoparalysis, and cases which revision previous repair is indicated. The SCR procedure intended to restore superior stabilizing forces a deficient cuff. This technique accomplished by substituting autograft or allograft between glenoid greater tuberosity humerus, thus keeping humeral head centered during shoulder forward flexion abduction. Since its...
Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome is a common cause of lateral knee pain in runners and cyclists. Many can be treated nonoperatively; however, some may require surgical lengthening their IT to achieve optimal relief return preinjury level activity. Several studies have been published detailing procedures satisfactory outcomes after these procedures. However, it important continue improve on optimize outcomes. We present our arthroscopic band-lengthening procedure.
This study evaluated the safety of 3-level anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) with ultra-low-dose recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). Thirty-seven consecutive patients spondylotic myelopathy who were treated ACDF rhBMP-2 evaluated. Complications such as airway or swelling hematoma not observed. The rate dysphagia was no different at 1, 2, 6 months postoperatively compared reports in literature without rhBMP-2. There significant improvements VAS neck/arm pain,...
Little literature exists examining differences in presentation and outcomes between monomicrobial polymicrobial vertebral infections. Seventy-nine patients treated for osteomyelitis 2001 2011 were reviewed. Patients divided into cohorts based on type of infection. Various characteristics compared the 2 groups. The 26 with a infection older had higher mortality rate, lower clearance infection, larger more instability, erythrocyte sedimentation rate at presentation, longer mean length stay....
The presence of an omovertebral bone with Sprengel's deformity and Klippel-Feil syndrome is a complex congenital anomaly that not well understood. It most commonly manifests as cosmetic deformity, limited range motion, functional disability, although there are reports the insidious development cervical myelopathy. In this paper, authors present case 49-year-old man acute neurological deficits after low-energy mechanism traumatic spinal cord compression, resulting from impinging through...
Recurrent patella instability is a common condition that may potentiate substantial knee dysfunction resulting in loss of time from work and sports. There are numerous factors contribute to recurrent including tearing the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), shallow trochlea, valgus alignment, externally rotated tibia tubercle, ligamentous laxity, elevated Q angle, increased tibial tuberosity trochlear groove distance. Reconstruction MPFL has been shown restore stability where concomitant...
To assess the postoperative objective, subjective, and functional outcomes as well complication rates in osteochondral defect patients treated with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) cartilage-derived matrix (CDM) during knee arthroscopy.A retrospective chart review was performed for arthroscopically BMAC CDM between August 2015 2018 had more than 1-year follow-up. Demographic factors such age, sex, body mass index, comorbidities were collected all patients. Size location of lesions...
As a consultant, the orthopaedic spine surgeon is often asked to evaluate patients with acute-onset extremity weakness. In some cases, patient's deficits can be attributed nonspinal pathology; therefore, it important aware of nonorthopaedic diagnoses when evaluating these patients. We report case thyrotoxic periodic paralysis that was initially confused by consulting service spinal pathology. A 32-year-old Hispanic man presented our emergency department rapid onset lower The team ordered CT...
Purpose: Tibia fractures with soft tissue compromise present are challenging to manage. For significant swelling or open injury not amenable internal stabilization, external fixators provide sufficient stability for bony healing. Ring and hybrid constructs adequate healing but costly, apply maintain. We the “T-bar” fixator, a novel construct that can be maintained until union allows range of motion adjacent joints. also report demographics, clinical, radiographic outcomes 34 patients treated...
