Acetabular osteochondroplasty and simultaneous reorientation: background and validation of concept.

Most hips with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) have combinations of femoral and acetabular abnormalities, including acetabular deficiency in some cases. Other impinging hips have large acetabular hyaline cartilage lesions that, when treated by resection, lead to acetabular deficiency and the need for a subsequent reorientation to improve coverage. Ideally, large cartilage lesions could be identified preoperatively and treated with 1 procedure.

Intrafocal pinning for juxtaarticular phalanx fractures.

Juxtaarticular phalanx fractures can present a challenge to the treating physician. Because they are not a common occurrence, we wanted to discuss our treatment protocol for this entity. Goals of treatment include anatomic realignment, fracture stability, and early range of motion.
