Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Elbow in Overhead Athletes: A Comprehensive Narrative Review.

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the elbow mainly occurs in overhead athletes (OHAs). This narrative review aimed to comprehensively analyze the epidemiological data, etiological factors, clinical and imaging features, treatment options, and outcomes of OHAs with the diagnosis of elbow OCD. A literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Ankle Arthroscopy Without Tourniquet: A Mid-Term Follow-Up.

Ankle arthroscopy is a surgical technique still most commonly performed with a tourniquet. In 2017, we published a randomized controlled trial comparing anterior ankle arthroscopy with and without the tourniquet use. The results showed feasibility of performing the anterior ankle arthroscopy without the tourniquet, as well as comparable functional outcomes at 3- and 6-month follow-up visits, regardless of the tourniquet use.

Arthroscopic resection of localized tenosynovial giant cell tumor in the deep infrapatellar bursa: a case report.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare disease characterized by the proliferation of the synovial membrane of a joint, tendon sheath, or bursa. TGCTs in joints are subdivided into the diffuse or localized type. The localized TGCT most frequently affects the knee and may occur in any knee compartment.

Hindfoot Endoscopy for the Treatment of Localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis.

Introduction: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare and benign proliferative lesion affecting synovial lining of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. Depending on the extent of synovial involvement, two forms are distinguished, diffuse, and localized. Intra-articular localized form of PVNS (LPVNS) presents as a nodular, well circumscribed, pedunculated, or sessile soft-tissue mass.

Arthroscopic removal as an effective treatment option for intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the knee.

Background: Intra-articular osteoid osteoma (iaOO) can be found in 5.2% up to 10% of cases. They may cause non-specific symptoms, mimicking degenerative or traumatic pathologies.
