Mashup Score: 0Basics of Elbow Arthroscopy - 19 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: 25Double-Allograft Shoulder Stabilization for Multidirectional Instability Is Associated With Improved Function and Survivability After 2 Years - 19 day(s) ago
To describe a double-allograft technique used for patients with severe, symptomatic multidirectional instability and hyperlaxity of the shoulder as well as to introduce a modification of the Beighton score that helps determine when this procedure should be utilized and report long-term outcomes of this procedure in the management of these patients.

Mashup Score: 37A Safe and Simple Method for Minimally Invasive Harvesting of the Partial-Thickness Quadriceps Tendon-Bone Autograft - 20 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: 27
To report the prevalence and patient characteristics of anterior peripheral rim instability (PRI) in patients <21 years of age with symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) requiring operative intervention and to compare preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with arthroscopic findings and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after arthroscopic treatment of anterior compared with nonanterior PRI.

Mashup Score: 16Arthroscopic Imbrication of the Anterior Bundle of the Elbow Medial Collateral Ligament With a 70° Arthroscope (MI70 Procedure) - 22 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 - 23 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 - 24 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.
