Substantial advances in the treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) over the past two to three decades have resulted in significant improvements in health-related quality of life of affected children. In addition to classifications that address the marked heterogeneity of this patient population, i...

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of cubitus varus treatments based on different fixation methods: Locking plate vs. Kirschner-wires (K-wires) and cast fixation.

Objective Malformations of the lower limbs caused by hypophosphatemic rickets in older children are mostly complex, occurring on multiple planes without a single apex and showing arcuate bending of the diaphysis combined with torsion deformity, and are difficult to correct.

This study aimed to compare radiographic outcomes of open and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in patients with hallux valgus. We reviewed data of patients with hallux valgus who underwent open or minimally invasive distal chevron osteotomy at our institution. Radiographic assessment was completed p...

Non-invasive techniques are gold standard to redress Severe Neuromuscular Foot Deformity (SNFD). However, simple talectomy may be considered to obtain a stable, plantigrade, pain-free foot. We present a 10-year follow-up accessing radiological correction rates, functional outcomes, complications, an...

This article presents an adaptation of the internal brace ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair technique using knotless suture anchors, which shows promise for improved postsurgical functionality and a shortened recovery period in patients with UCL injuries.

Distal biceps ruptures are common injuries that lead to significant decrease in elbow supination strength and pain. This Technical Note describes a single-incision distal biceps tendon repair using 2 knotless suture anchors. This technique is easily reproducible, is efficient, and has the unique ben...

In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopic technique for distal suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using a knotless corkscrew anchor that has many advantages, such as being an all-arthroscopic with the ability to retension the tendon after implantation.

Isolated posterior shoulder instability accounts for approximately 10% of shoulder instability cases. Patients may present after an acute trauma or with insidious onset and associated posterior shoulder pain. Knotless and all-suture anchor devices have become increasing popular and are often used in...

Matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) is a 2-step technique designed to treat symptomatic full-thickness articular cartilage defects of the knee. In this technique article, MACI (autologous cultured chondrocytes on porcine collagen membrane) is used to treat a femoral trochlea...
