Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of the modified Broström repair (MBR) with or without suture tape augmentation (STA) for managing the chronic lateral ankle instability.

Methods: 72 patients with chronic lateral ankle instability treated at our hospital from January 2018 to July 2019 were included, with 37 patients receiving the MBR and 35 treated by the MBR with STA. The clinical efficacy of the two techniques was assessed in terms of VAS, AOFAS, and Karlsson scores and by physical examination in follow-ups. Read More

There are many techniques described for biceps tenodesis that vary by fixation type, location, and open or arthroscopic method. Clinical outcomes are similar regardless of repair technique; therefore, the cost and time of procedures are increasingly points of improvement to practice value-based medicine and deliver cost-effective care. The technique described in this article builds on previous arthroscopic transosseous technical knowledge to yield a cost-effective and efficient clinical method to perform biceps tenodesis in the suprapectoral location without the cost and complications of an implant.

Capsular management during hip arthroscopy represents an important component to access, visualization, and restoration of hip stability. In the setting of femoroacetabular impingement, the peripheral compartment represents access to the femoral neck where abnormal morphology is commonly addressed with arthroscopic femoroplasty. While various techniques have been described for peripheral compartment visualization, difficulty can arise in creating a wide display of the femoral neck while minimizing subsequent impairment of the capsule.

Arthroscopic Latarjet has evolved as a reproducible procedure to address significant anterior glenoid bone loss in recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder joint. While arthroscopic Bankart procedure for anterior shoulder instability has changed from metal anchors to absorbable or soft all-suture anchors to avoid metal-ware and subsequent abrasion in cases of osteolysis or backout, Latarjet procedure, until recently couple of titanium screws were used to fix the coracoid bone to the anterior glenoid. Arthroscopic techniques for Latarjet procedure of coracoid bone transfer have shown results similar to the open technique in many recent studies. Read More

Introduction: Gluteus medius tendon tears may not be feasible for direct repair when significant retraction or fatty degeneration is present. Several augmentation techniques have been reported for challenging cases. We describe a novel technique using a transfer of the anterior portion of the gluteus maximus combined with synthetic mesh to reinforce the direct suture of the gluteus medius. Read More
