A 16-year-old female high school junior with a history of recurrent patellar instability presented with left knee pain following a patellar dislocation event.

Volcano deformity is an intra-articular deformity discovered after the wide use of the tension band plate (TBP) all over the world. Controversy on whether this is a pervasive effect that applies to all TBP treatments or just a sporadic event is still under debate. In contrast, percutaneous epiphysio...

For decades, orthopedic surgeons relied on two-dimensional X-rays to repair three-dimensional problems. While effective for simple broken bones, this traditional approach can be like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube while only looking at one side. New technology is changing pediatric limb reconstruc...

Metallic biomaterials enable successful reconstruction and fixation of skeletal tissues by supporting repair, load-bearing function, and anatomical alignment in foot and ankle surgery. However, the unique anatomic and biomechanical demands of this region, combined with challenging pathologies such a...

Elderly patients with unstable ankle fractures face a high risk of wound and implant-related complications after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Less invasive intramedullary fibular nail (FN) fixation may reduce soft-tissue trauma and enable earlier mobilization.

Medial epicondyle fractures account for 11%-20% of pediatric elbow fractures. While nonoperative treatment is effective, surgery is often recommended for overhead athletes to enhance union rates, valgus stability, and expedited return to sporting activities. Postoperative recovery protocols vary, wi...

To evaluate the clinical curative effect and imaging results of osteotomy and rotation surgery for congenital radial head dislocation.

This study aims to investigate whether the critical shoulder angle (CSA) could serve as an effective screening tool to predict acute rotator cuff tears in patients with first-time anterior glenohumeral dislocation and to assess the inter- and intra-observer reliability of CSA measurements in this co...

A broad arm sling is traditionally applied following shoulder surgery for protection of repair and ‘for comfort’. It has never been proved however that the use of a sling actually leads to reduced pain. The aim of our prospective study was to quantify a patient's immediate post-surgical pain wit...

KA TKAs have produced favourable clinical outcomes and implant survivorship that are comparable and even superior to mechanical alignment TKAs in some studies. As technology advances, robotic-assisted systems such as the Mako? 2.0 Total Knee system are increasing in popularity due to its benefit of ...
