Medial Head of the Gastrocnemius Tenotomy Through a Posteromedial Approach Significantly Improves Surgical Accessibility of the Tibial Plateau.

Objectives: Compare accessible area of the posterior tibial plateau through a modified posteromedial (PM) approach before and after tenotomy of the medial head gastrocnemius. We report the outcomes of 8 patients who underwent gastrocnemius tenotomy during PM approach.

Methods: A modified PM approach was performed on 10 cadaveric legs, and the surgically accessible area was outlined.

Patient Outcomes After Transolecranon Fracture-Dislocation.

Introduction: There are few small case series that discuss patient outcomes after a transolecranon fracture-dislocation, and they suggest that patients have reasonable function after injury. The purpose of this study was to describe the injury pattern and clinical outcomes of transolecranon fracture-dislocations.

Methods: After Institutional Review Board approval, transolecranon fracture-dislocations treated at two academic level 1 trauma centers between 2005 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.
