Osteonecrosis of the Knee: Not all Bone Edema is the Same.

Knee pain is among the most common complaints that an orthopedic surgeon may see in practice. It is often worked up with X-rays and MRI, leading to a myriad of potential diagnoses ranging from minimal edema patterns to various types of osteonecrosis. Similarities in certain causes can pose diagnostic challenges.

Clinical outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with tuberosity excision for treatment of proximal humerus fractures: a case series.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has become an increasingly popular treatment option for complex 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients. The literature has demonstrated that tuberosity repair likely improves postoperative range of motion (ROM). However, the difference between tuberosity repair and excision may not be appreciable to patients in their day-to-day lives.

Clubfoot Cast Simulation Using Pressure Sensors: A Novel Way to Teach the Ponseti Method.

Objective: The standard of care in treating congenital clubfoot is the Ponseti method. Resident education of this skill traditionally involves direct casting of patients with attending feedback. With increased clinical time demands, mastery of the skill may not be achievable using direct resident - patient interactions.

Protocol for a randomised trial evaluating the effect of applying gamification to simulation-based endoscopy training.

Background: Simulation-based training (SBT) provides a safe environment and effective means to enhance skills development. Simulation-based curricula have been developed for a number of procedures, including gastrointestinal endoscopy. Gamification, which is the application of game-design principles to non-game contexts, is an instructional strategy with potential to enhance learning.

Anatomy of the femoral footprint of the posterior cruciate ligament: a systematic review.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to summarize the past 10 years of orthopaedic literature to better delineate the femoral origin of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

Methods: A PubMed search was conducted by 2 independent reviewers (M.P.
