Background: Elbow injuries are becoming increasingly prevalent in throwing athletes. Early diagnosis, especially athletes, can allow for earlier intervention and return to play. It is important clinicians have a framework systemically examine the elbow accurately diagnose variety of pathologies this unique patient population. Indications: The purpose video educate on how athlete. Currently, there no published describing evaluation athletes with associated reliability measures specific...
Background: During radiographic assessment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), upright images frequently capture the hip. The purpose this study was to assess prevalence hip dysplasia on postero-anterior (PA) radiographs, as defined a lateral center edge angle (LCEA) ≤25 degrees. Methods: All patients with PA radiographs over one-year period at single tertiary academic medical (2020 2021) were included in study. Radiographs containing joints annotated by 3 reviewers for left and right...
Patella alta is a common pathoanatomic contributor to various knee pathologies, including patella instability, fat pad impingement, and patellar tendinopathy. The 2 most surgical techniques used treat include distalizing tibial tubercle osteotomy tendon imbrication. Although these are effective, they associated with significant morbidity limiting postoperative course prolonged rehabilitation. In this Technical Note, we propose simple means of the improving maltracking via addition medial...
Background: Ankle sprains are common injuries that can result in chronic ankle instability. Indications: Indications for surgical management include recurrent instability, failed conservative 3 to 6 months, and inability return play or activity. Technique Description: The patient’s is initially examined under anesthesia with anterior drawer testing confirm the diagnosis of arthroscopy then preformed identify treat additional intra-articular pathology prior modified Broström repair. During...
Background: Anterior shoulder instability is associated with Hill-Sachs lesions (HSLs) in 40% to 90% of cases. When addressing anterior instability, unaddressed engaging or “off-track” HSL have a recurrence rate 75%. Remplissage known technique address recurrent the setting an HSL. In this video, we demonstrate that double-anchor-pulley may be used Indications: Patients off-track patients glenoid bone loss <20% are candidates for arthroscopic Remplissage. Technique Description: placed...
Case: A 14-year-old adolescent girl and 18-year-old man underwent right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts via partial-thickness harvest. While both patients initially recovered well, later they experienced a painful snapping in their knee localized to the lateral QT, just proximal patella. Surgical completion of previous defect with imbrication provided resolution symptoms at 4 9 months postoperatively, respectively. Conclusion: We...
Abstract Introduction/Aims Intercostal nerve injury can occur after rib fractures, resulting in denervation of the abdominal musculature. Loss innervation to rectus abdominis and intercostal muscles cause pain, atrophy, eventual eventration, which may be an underrecognized thus undertreated complication fractures. We investigated clinical utility electrodiagnostic testing following fractures diagnose localize at levels T7 below. Methods Five patients with displaced bicortical involving...
Intraoperative imaging is often used to aid pedicle screw placement during scoliosis operations. Higher rates of cancer and death have been observed in orthopaedic surgeons radiation technologists, including a fourfold higher rate breast female surgeons. The purpose this study was evaluate variability intraoperative spinal fusions for both adolescent idiopathic (AIS) neuromuscular (NMS).A retrospective review posterior fusion segmental instrumentation performed by pediatric from 2017 2019 at...
Category: Ankle; Other Introduction/Purpose: The American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification system serves as a useful measure patient comorbidities. Multiple studies have found an increased risk readmission in patients undergoing total knee or hip arthroplasty with elevated ASA scores. There is paucity literature investigating the association score and postoperative outcomes following ankle (TAA). Thus, this study seeks to evaluate relationship between TAA....
Background: Volar locking plate (VLP) fixation, an accepted treatment for distal radial fractures, has the known complication of flexor tendon rupture, theorized to be caused by implant positioning. Although position is a suspected risk factor, incidence rupture may less than previously reported. This study investigated prominence and its relation rupture. Methods: Surgical records 197 patients who underwent repair fractures using VLP fixation between July 2014 December 2017 were...
