Surgeons present on the latest endoscopic approaches for spine techniques.
Raymond J. Gardocki, MD (Nashville, TN), demonstrates the endoscopic transforaminal approach to the lumbar spine for posterolateral contained herniations, nonmigrated extrusions, and intraforaminal herniations above the pedicle.
Jorge I. Acevedo, MD (Jacksonville, FL), demonstrates the minimally invasive FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ procedure for insertional Achilles pathology.
Christopher Ahmad, MD (New York, NY), discusses his technique for UCL repair and UCL reconstruction with the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation technique, sharing technical pearls for each procedure. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the...
Richard J. de Asla, MD (Naples, FL), demonstrates an all-knotless lateral ankle instability live surgical procedure using DX Knotless FiberTak® anchors for the Brostrom repair and the InternalBrace™ 2.0 ligament augmentation repair system. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment...
Robert Gorsline, MD (Columbus, OH), demonstrates the surgical technique for the DualCompression Hindfoot Nail System. This system features a novel mechanism for providing compression in TTC fusions both intraoperatively and postoperatively.
Sommer Hammoud, MD (Philadelphia, PA), demonstrates the application of the FiberStitch™ 1.5 all-suture implant, which deploys soft suture sheaths behind the meniscus and replaces traditional hard plastic PEEK implants, for a medial meniscus bucket-handle tear.
Sommer Hammoud, MD (Philadelphia, PA), demonstrates the repair of an acute distal MCL avulsion using Knee FiberTak® anchors and the InternalBrace™ technique. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue...
Christopher Adams, MD (Naples, FL), presents a simplified approach to evaluating plain radiographs and MRIs for common shoulder pathologies.
Wesley P. Phipatanakul, MD (Loma Linda, CA), demonstrates a quick tip forestablishing initial triangulation in the subacromial space during shoulder arthroscopy.
In this pearls-based talk, John T. Riehl, MD (Dallas, TX), discusses approaches to both the shoulder and humerus. Deltopectoral, deltoid split, and anterior and posterior approaches to the humerus are addressed.
Raymond J. Gardocki, MD (Nashville, TN), discusses endoscopic fusions and why the endoscopic approach is beneficial to patients. Dr. Gardocki notes there are no limitations by the traditional approach corridors, which allows an approach to the pathology from the best...
In this video, Anand Vora, MD (Chicago, IL), demonstrates fixation of a 5th metatarsal fracture with a solid Jones screw.
Justin W. Griffin, MD (Virginia Beach, VA), and Raffy Mirzayan, MD (Los Angeles, CA), introduce the technique for biologic tuberoplasty, highlighting its evolution and patient selection factors, and provide pearls for efficiency.
Dr. med. Vincent Hagel (Zurich, Switzerland), reviews which types of disc herniations are best removed via the transforaminal endoscopic approach. Dr. med. Hagel also discusses limitations of the transforaminal approach, including L5-S1, foraminal stenosis, and a low exiting nerve root.
