An anatomic study of the coracoid process as it relates to bone transfer procedures.

Introduction: The Latarjet and Bristow procedures address recurrent anterior shoulder instability in the context of a significant bony defect. However, the bony and soft tissue anatomy of the coracoid as they relate to coracoid transfer procedures has not yet been defined. The purpose of this study was to describe the soft tissue attachments of the coracoid as they relate to the bony anatomy and to define the average amount of bone available for use in coracoid transfer.

Lymphangioma of the finger in a child: a report of two cases.

Lymphangioma is a benign congenital tumor rarely experienced in the upper extremity. There are few reports of the outcomes of treatment of this tumor to guide treatment when it occurs in the finger. Treatment of this disease is challenging.

Randomized prospective study comparing tri-cortical iliac crest autograft to allograft in the lateral column lengthening component for operative correction of adult acquired flatfoot deformity.

Background: Operative treatment of stage II posterior tibial tendon insufficiency (PTTI) is controversial. Many soft-tissue and bony procedures and various combinations of the two have been reported for treatment of stage II PTTI. Orthopaedists recognize the lateral column lengthening component of the procedure as a successful reconstructive technique.
