Rotator cuff arthropathy was the origin of the reverse shoulder prosthesis due to the poor results related to previously available prostheses. Its design has been associated with complications such as scapular notching, limited mobility, or instability. Because of this, different patterns have been developed depending on its components' lateralized or medialized position. Either strengthen the biomechanical function or restore the shoulder's anatomy as closely as possible.
Massive, traumatic rotator cuff tears present a challenges in shoulder surgery due to its high re-tear rates (1). Traditional single-row repair techniques, although effective, have shown limitations in achieving optimal tendon-to-bone healing and biomechanical stability.
Single-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a challenging procedure that requires a deep understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and advanced surgical techniques. This video aims to provide an audiovisual guide, to facilitate the performance of this challenging surgery.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in children and adolescents generate a high impact, from psychosocial, academic development, performance and sports participation to economic impact. The incidence of ACL injury is 51 per 100,000 children, however this figure increases in the female adolescent population, especially in those who practice multiple disciplines.
For many surgeons, a substantial barrier to adoption of the Latarjet procedure is the high rate of complications and unplanned reoperations (30% and 15% respectively). Most of hardware complications are related to bone block mal positioning and the use of screws. Most of neurologic complications are related to the drilling process performed form the front, closed to the brachial plexus.
Surgical management of scapular fractures with intra-articular extension into the glenoid fossa is a technically demanding procedure which requires careful preoperative plan and precise execution during the surgery to prevent potential complications.Arthroscopic-assisted fracture fixation offers the benefit of reducing complications linked to traditional open surgery and the opportunity...
The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus is a key structure in the knee joint, contributing significantly to load distribution, shock absorption, and joint stability. Injuries to this part of the meniscus, often resulting from sports activities, can lead to substantial functional impairment if not appropriately treated. The complexity of the meniscus's structure, along with its limited vascular supply, particularly in the anterior horn, makes the repair of tears in this region a challenging endeavor .
Although the anatomy and function of the lateral meniscus has been very well described, its capsular restrictors and their role in meniscus function remain complex. The structures of the popliteal hiatus are stabilizers of the lateral meniscus; therefore, their integrity is necessary to preserve adequate kinematic behavior of the lateral compartment.
