Background: Little has been published on the management of infected total ankle replacements. This study reviewed our experience with this difficult clinical problem.
Methods: From 2002 to 2011 we retrospectively evaluated patients requiring prosthesis removal for infection following primary or revision total ankle replacement.
Background: The outcome of rotator cuff repair correlates with tendon healing. Early studies of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair demonstrate lower healing rates than traditional open techniques. Transosseous-equivalent repair techniques (suture bridge) were developed to improve the initial fixation strength.

Design: The homepages of general surgery residency programs were evaluated for accessibility, ease-of-use, adherence to established principles of website design, and content. Investigators completed a questionnaire on aspects of their online search, including number of mouse-clicks used, number of errors encountered, and number of returns to the residency homepage.
