Mashup Score: 0Basics of Elbow Arthroscopy - 12 day(s) ago
Elbow arthroscopy can be utilized to treat a variety of elbow pathologies. With recent advancements in arthroscopic technology and our understanding of elbow anatomy, several approaches to elbow arthroscopy have been proposed. However, a “gold-standard” has yet to be defined. In this Technical Note, the authors describe a systematic approach to perform elbow arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position. Strategic placement of portals reduces the risk of damage to neurovascular structures. Our surgical technique aims to offer a safe, reproducible method for achieving excellent visualization and access to both anterior and posterior compartments, thereby optimizing outcomes and minimizing complications.

Mashup Score: 37A Safe and Simple Method for Minimally Invasive Harvesting of the Partial-Thickness Quadriceps Tendon-Bone Autograft - 14 day(s) ago
Good long-term postoperative clinical results can be achieved after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the quadriceps tendon (QT) as the graft. Anatomical rectangular tunnel anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is performed using a ribbon-shaped quadriceps tendon with bone (QTB) harvested in partial layers, considering that harvesting the transplanted tendon in all layers, including the joint capsule, may delay recovery from postoperative pain and muscle weakness. However, no consistent method for harvesting the QTB graft tendon has been established.

Mashup Score: 16Arthroscopic Imbrication of the Anterior Bundle of the Elbow Medial Collateral Ligament With a 70° Arthroscope (MI70 Procedure) - 16 day(s) ago
Most medial collateral injuries require very challenging therapeutic management, even for expert surgeons. After the failure of conservative treatment, the physician’s first choice should be a minimally invasive surgical technique. Reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament of the elbow with graft is the most described, demanding, and time-consuming procedure compared to plication of the ligament. This Technical Note aims to validate the results concerning a surgical technique, the MI70 procedure, elaborated to imbricate the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament and the anteromedial capsule through a suture anchor, through a 70° scope vision (MI70).

Mashup Score: 17Arthroscopic Pectoralis Minor Release - 16 day(s) ago
The pectoralis minor (PM) originates at the ribs medially and inserts at the medial border of the coracoid process. Pathologic shortening of the PM can be found in overhead athletes. A shortened PM is associated with anterior and internal rotation of the scapula, leading to scapular dyskinesis and anterior shoulder pain. Cases refractory to physical therapy and self-stretching exercises can be treated with isolated PM release. This procedure has been shown to be a safe and effective means of decreasing self-reported pain and activity limitations in patients with no other shoulder pathologies.

Mashup Score: 9Arthroscopic Hip Labral Reconstruction and Augmentation—Retro TAPT: Retrograde Passage, Tie Anterior to Posterior, and Truncate - 18 day(s) ago
The standard of care for hip labral tears is arthroscopic repair, with labral reconstruction performed more commonly for irreparable tears in order to avoid isolated labral debridement. However, labral reconstruction can be technically demanding. We provide a concise step-by-step guide for performing labral reconstruction or augmentation using a modified retrograde pull-through technique, including tips, tricks, and surgeon pearls, and pitfalls. Despite the procedure’s technically challenging nature, we believe our technique highlights several important steps to improve the practicality and efficiency of the case and produce satisfactory patient outcomes.

Mashup Score: 19All-Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis With Knotless Unicortical Locking Button Technique - 18 day(s) ago
Tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon is a well-established surgical procedure to treat isolated pathology of the proximal biceps as well as concomitant intra-articular glenohumeral pathology causing shoulder pain and dysfunction. Furthermore, multiple locations for the site of tenodesis and multiple implants for fixation have been described, all with overall similar outcomes and success rates. Potential advantages of an all-arthroscopic tenodesis include versatility in patient positioning, minimizing the need for additional incisions and efficiency while treating concomitant intra-articular pathology.

Mashup Score: 41Top Ten Pearls for a Successful Subscapularis Repair - 22 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.

Mashup Score: 23Patellar Tendon Repair With Bioinductive Implant Augmentation - 22 day(s) ago
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 - 23 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.
