In recent years, anterior tibiofibular ligament-distal fascicle transfers for anterior talofibular ligament augmentation repair have proposed. However, a comprehensive biomechanical study on the anterior tibiofibular ligament-distal fascicle transfer is s

Treatment of the stiff elbow can be a challenging task. A thorough understanding of normal elbow anatomy and the potential causes of elbow contracture are essential for the development of effective treatment strategies. This chapter provides a review of k

To systematically review (1) biomechanical properties of augmented elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair compared with reconstruction and (2) clinical efficacy and complication rates of UCL repair with and without augmentation.

Recent research shows that magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) offers better definition of certain shoulder pathology, especially labral tears, compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conventional MRI accuracy and precision deteriorates after two we

Bacterial contamination, as a result of suture contamination, may be associated with rotator cuff retear, or impaired tendon healing, following rotator cuff repair. This represents a potential new area of focus and intervention. Despite an array of rotato

Autologous osteochondral transfer (AOT) is a favorable graft option because it provides native type II hyaline cartilage on an autologous subchondral scaffold that most-closely emulates the native chondral environment, and clinical studies demonstrate bet

Results presented here showed patients with depression undergoing total knee arthroplasty experienced an increased risk of medical and surgical complications, readmissions and reoperations.

Results presented here showed replacing the patellar component in stage-one revision total knee arthroplasty may improve outcomes in patients with a periprosthetic joint infection.

As surgeons' comfort with the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty continues to increase, there is a growing interest in performing complex surgeries through this approach. Acetabular bone loss and/or pelvic discontinuity in the prima

Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a primary reason for THA revision. During THA through the direct anterior approach (DAA), the ilio-femoral ligament, which provides the main resistance to external rotation of the hip, is commonly partiall
