Modified Lemaire Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis Using an Inlay Technique and All-Suture Knotless Anchor Fixation.

Appreciation of persistent anterolateral rotatory instability and graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures has led surgeons to adopt the addition of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) in both the revision and primary setting. Multiple techniques have been shown to eliminate anterolateral rotatory instability and reduce forces on the ACL graft, which has translated to lower re-rupture rates and improved patient outcomes. The risk of ACL/LET tunnel convergence can potentially compromise the fixation of one or both graft reconstructions.

Modified Bosworth Technique for Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Knee Using Semitendinosus Tendon Autograft.

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a major contributor to knee joint stability and is the most common ligament involved in knee injuries. When conservative management for high-grade MCL injuries fails, operative treatment is indicated. Various reconstruction techniques are described in the literature.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation Of Posterior Femoral Condyle Lesions Utilizing An Open Posterior Approach To The Knee.

Osteochondral allograft transplantation is a viable option for large chondral defects >2 cm squared, as well as in a revision setting after failure of a previous surface chondral restoration procedure. Osteochondral lesions involving the posterior aspect of the femoral condyle, however, are less common and easily underappreciated. Treatment of posterior osteochondral lesions is more technically demanding because they cannot be adequately addressed through standard arthroscopic approaches or an anterior arthrotomy.

Antegrade Elastic Intramedullary Nailing Insertion Technique Results in Higher Incidence of Symptomatic Implants in Pediatric Ulnar Fractures.

Unlabelled: Retrograde and antegrade nailing techniques are the two options available to a surgeon when using elastic stable intramedullary nailing; however, the literature comparing these two nailing techniques is scarce. Thus, we conducted a retrospective review of all pediatric and adolescent ulnar fractures treated with elastic stable intramedullary nailing at our facility. We hypothesize that the clinical outcomes (implant and wound complications) and the time between surgery and radiographic union will be similar for both techniques.
