Accurate positioning of the femoral insertion of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the main difficulty in MPFL reconstruction. This article describes an all-arthroscopic MPFL reconstruction procedure. Preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography assists in MPFL patellar and femoral insertion positioning, with arthroscopic reconfirmation of femoral insertion positioning through a subcutaneous tunnel during surgery. In the socket-anchor technique for patellar insertion fixation, a 10-mm-deep bone tunnel (socket) is created along a previously located guide pin at the MPFL patellar insertion; then, an absorbable suture anchor is inserted into the end of the socket to fix the tendon graft.

Mashup Score: 33Medial Ligament Complex Reconstruction With Allograft Using Less Invasive Onlay Fixation and Suture Tape Augmentation - 8 day(s) ago
Injury to the medial complex of the knee may result in persisting valgus and rotatory instability. In combination with concomitant meniscotibial ligament disruption, maldistributed contact forces are placed on the medial compartment, which may result in the progression of osteoarthritis. When facing chronic valgus and/or posteromedial instability, definitive treatment with medial ligament complex reconstruction in combination with additional repair of the meniscotibial ligament when necessary should be done to anatomically restore proper knee biomechanics and kinematics.

Hip arthroscopy is a technically demanding procedure that can require a substantial volume of irrigation fluid. Techniques should be explored to optimize fluid use while ensuring satisfactory surgical instrumentation and labral repair. In this technical note, we present a method for performing a dry arthroscopic labral repair. This technique can be used in the treatment of a variety of labral pathologies, including primary labral repair with knotless or hand-tied anchors, revision labral repair, and labral reconstruction, without the need for irrigation fluid.

Mashup Score: 29Arthroscopic Long Thoracic Nerve Decompression for Painful Scapulothoracic Abnormal Motion: Technique and Indications - 23 day(s) ago
Patients with abnormal motion and winged scapula can present with debilitating pain and shoulder dysfunction. Multiple etiologies of scapulothoracic abnormal motion have been described, including muscle paralysis secondary to nerve injury or compression and discordant muscle activation secondary to pectoralis minor hyperactivity. In patients with intact serratus anterior musculature and clinical evidence of pain along the serratus anterior and long thoracic nerve (LTN) distribution, surgical release of the LTN is indicated.
