osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that rarely involves joints. although there are several reports of arthroscopic osteoid osteoma excisions, to our knowledge, there are no reports of this type of treatment for osteoid osteoma in carpal bones. we report two cases of arthroscopic (a person who had a pain in the left wrist and the other one with carpal tunnel syndrome) with excision of osteoi...

AIM To describe an approach to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using autologous hamstring by drilling via the anteromedial portal in the presence of an intramedullary (IM) femoral nail. METHODS Once preoperative imagining has characterized the proposed location of the femoral tunnel preparations are made to remove all of the hardware (locking bolts and IM nail). A diagnostic a...

Background: The goal of hip labral reconstruction is to restore the suction seal, requiring graft be precisely secured along acetabular rim. When performed arthroscopically, controlling as it suspended in joint between 2 cannulas can challenging, making fixation optimal position seal difficult achieve. Indications: Labral reconstruction/augmentation indicated for patients with a deficient/dysfu...

This study examined the incidence and rates of knee arthroscopy in patients older than 65 years and the risk of subsequent knee arthroplasty. Medicare claims data (1997-2006, 5% sample) were used to identify 78,137 knee arthroscopy patients. Performance of arthroscopy increased 56.1%. Prevalence increased 44.6% from 362.2 to 523.7 per 100,000 Medicare patients. The prevalence was greater for wo...

arthroscopy for various hindlimb joint disorders. The advantages of arthroscopy over arthrotomy in diagnosing and treating hindlimb joint diseases are emphasized. Understanding joint pathophysiology can help prevent and treat joint diseases. As more specialists become familiar with arthroscopic instrumentation and techniques, patients will benefit from arthroscopy. ABSTRACT: Diagnostic and Surg...

Background: Glenohumeral joint stability is reliant on a combination of static and dynamic constraints. Humeral avulsion the posterior band inferior glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) an exceedingly rare injury. These injuries can be difficult to diagnose lead continued pain, dysfunction, recurrent instability. There paucity literature regarding surgical management reverse HAGL lesions. Indications: ...

The case of a patient is presented in whom a No. 11 scalpel blade was inadvertently broken and embedded within the lateral femoral condyle during initial arthroscopic portal creation. After a thorough diagnostic arthroscopy and synovectomy to expose the distal femoral articular surface was unsuccessful, luoroscopy was performed to localize the blade fragment in orthogonal planes. The blade tip ...

BACKGROUND Dextrose injection is reported to improve knee osteoarthritis (KOA)-related clinical outcomes, but its effect on articular cartilage is unknown. A chondrogenic effect of dextrose injection has been proposed. OBJECTIVE To assess biological and clinical effects of intra-articular hypertonic dextrose injections (prolotherapy) in painful KOA. DESIGN Case series with blinded arthrosco...

Microfracture of hip chondral lesions has been performed for more than a decade with modified treatment principles and techniques from knee arthroscopy. This note and accompanying video review the pertinent techniques, pearls, and pitfalls of the microfracture procedure in the treatment of hip chondral lesions. After debridement of damaged chondral tissue, the size of the lesion is approximated...
