– Technique: Partial Transphyseal (Hybrid)
On the tibial side, transtibial drilling can be performed in a retrograde or anterograde fashion using an appropriately sized reamer. We prefer to use a FlipCutter on the tibial side….
– Discoid Meniscus: Overview, Epidemiology, Classification, Assessment
More recently, Jordan et al.15 expanded on this classification system to include both arthroscopic and clinical findings in order to more completely describe discoid meniscus type and therefore provide more…
– Overview, Pathomechanics, Epidemiology, and Assessment of Patellar Dislocation
Fithian et al.15 investigated acute, first-time PFI. However, his patient population included both pediatric and adult patients. He also found that younger patients, age 10 to 17 years, were more…
– Technique: Distal Realignment Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy
Next, we turn our attention to the inferior portion of the patellar tendon where it inserts into the superior portion of the tuberosity. Small capsulotomies are made on either side…
– Growth Plate Anatomy
At specific times in the development of each long bone, two secondary centers of ossification appear—the growth plates on either end of the long bone. The growth plate, also known…
– Surgical Treatment for Symptomatic Osgood-Schlatter Disease
ANATOMY The tibial tubercle is the site of an apophysis, a chondro-osseous prominence or protuberance that experiences repetitive traction forces from a tendinous attachment. Prior to skeletal maturity, these tensile…
– Technique: Frontiers of Cartilage Restoration
PREPARATION OF BONE MARROW–DERIVED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS TECHNIQUE Harvesting Autologous MSCs are harvested from the bone marrow of the iliac crest. This may be done under local or general anesthesia…
– Retroarticular Drilling of Osteochondritis Dissecans
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE 1. The patient is positioned supine on the operating table. The leg of the bed is not dropped. This allows the surgeon to place K-wires under fluoroscopic guidance…
