ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Complex cartilage lesions of the knee including large cartilage defects, kissing lesions, and osteoarthritis (OA) represent a common problem in orthopaedic surgery and a challenging task for the orthopaedic surgeon. As there is…

High tibial osteotomy is effective for managing a variety of knee conditions, including gonarthrosis with varus or valgus malalignment, osteochondritis dissecans, osteonecrosis, posterolateral instability, and chondral resurfacing. The fundamental…

Anterior knee pain is a frequent clinical problem. It provides a common challenge to diagnose and manage. Basic science studies have provided insight into the origin of anterior knee pain and refined understanding of the anatomy. Clinical evaluation…

Periprosthetic infections are rare, but there is evidence to suggest that their frequency may be underestimated. No single laboratory test has perfect sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing infection. Most tests have better specificity when they…

Coxa vara in childhood may be clinically classified as developmental, congenital, dysplastic, or traumatic and may occur at the physis or in the trochanteric or subtrochanteric area. Evaluation should include a search for a family history of similar…

Nondisplaced fractures of the scaphoid heal with cast immobilization in most cases, but operative treatment is being offered with greater frequency to active patients as an approach to reduce the period of cast immobilization. Computed tomography is…

The intramedullary nail or rod is commonly used for long-bone fracture fixation and has become the standard treatment of most long-bone diaphyseal and selected metaphyseal fractures. To best understand use of the intramedullary nail, a general…
-
Ankle syndesmotic injury does not necessarily lead to ankle instability; however, the coexistence of deltoid ligament injury critically destabilizes the ankle joint. Syndesmotic injury may occur in isolation or may be associated with ankle fracture.…
-
Total hip arthroplasty is the procedure of choice for most patients with symptomatic end-stage coxarthrosis secondary to hip dysplasia. The anatomic abnormalities associated with the dysplastic hip increase the complexity of hip arthroplasty. When…
-
Fractures of the talus are uncommon. The relative infrequency of these injuries in part accounts for the lack of useful and objective data to guide treatment. The integrity of the talus is critical to normal function of the ankle, subtalar, and…
-
Fracture-dislocations of the elbow remain among the most difficult injuries to manage. Historically, the combination of an elbow dislocation, a radial head fracture, and a coronoid process fracture has had a consistently poor outcome; for this…
-
We present a rational approach to the classification and surgical management of intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. The fractures are classified on the basis of the surgical anatomy of the distal humerus, which is divided into two…
-
Surgical dislocation of the hip is rarely undertaken. The potential danger to the vascularity of the femoral head has been emphasised, but there is little information as to how this danger can be avoided. We describe a technique for operative…
-
Selecting the appropriate graft for ACL reconstruction depends on numerous factors including surgeon philosophy and experience, tissue availability (affected by anatomical anomalies or prior injury or surgery), and patient activity level and…

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative disorder that affects the synovium in young and middle-aged adults. Although most believe that it is an inflammatory process, some believe that it is a benign neoplasm. The optimal…
-
Unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures account for approximately one quarter of all hip fractures in the elderly and are increasing in frequency. Treatment goals include immediate mobilization while limiting complications. Preoperatively, medical…
-
Surgical approaches to the posterior aspect of the knee are not commonly needed, and their use has become even rarer with the increasing sophistication of arthroscopic technology. As a result, physicians in orthopaedic surgical training are not…
-
Object The authors review a novel subaxial cervical trauma classification system and demonstrate its application through a series of cervical trauma cases. Methods The Spine Trauma Study Group collaborated to create the Subaxial Injury…

The past two decades have seen many advances in pelvic-trauma surgery. Provisional fixation of unstable pelvic-ring disruptions and open-book fractures with a pelvic clamp or an external frame with a supracondylar pin has proved markedly beneficial…
-
Hip dysplasia is a developmental disorder that results in anatomic abnormalities leading to increased contact pressure in the joint and, eventually, coxarthrosis. However, many patients with hip dysplasia become symptomatic before the development of…
