Three-Dimensional Analysis Versus Two-Dimensional Slice-Based Analysis of CT for Measuring Femoral Torsion and Its Correlation to Passive Hip Range of Motion.

Introduction Femoral torsion is an important anatomical consideration of the hip that has major implications on the natural motion of the hip joint. Similarly, it affects pathologic conditions of the hip, including femoroacetabular impingement, dysplasia, and/or microinstability. Femoral torsion is typically measured on two-dimensional (2D) axial CT cuts by creating the angle between the femoral neck and the posterior aspect of the ipsilateral femoral condyles.

Use of a Knotless Suture Anchor to Perform Double-Pulley Capsulotenodesis of Infraspinatus.

In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopic remplissage procedure to treat anterior instability. Specifically, we use a technique to perform double-pulley capsulotenodesis of the infraspinatus tendon using a Knotless SutureTak Suture Anchor (Arthrex, Naples, FL). This is a modification of a previously described double-pulley technique.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Balloon Humeroplasty in the Treatment of Acute Hill-Sachs Lesions.

Shoulder instability is often associated with an impaction fracture of the humeral head, commonly referred to as a "Hill-Sachs lesion." This lesion is present in both anterior and posterior instability. Forty percent to 90% of anterior shoulder dislocations have associated Hill-Sachs lesions, whereas 29% to 86% of posterior shoulder dislocations have reverse Hill-Sachs lesions.

Evaluation and treatment of extremity metastatic disease.

Metastases can occur as part of the natural progression of a variety of malignancies and their mode of spread, manner of presentation, and prognosis are as variable as their primary sources. The ultimate goal of musculoskeletal treatment of skeletal metastases is to get the patient in question back to his or her previous level of function as soon as possible. Skeletal metastases are seldom life threatening and their treatment will rarely render someone cured of their primary disease.
