Surgery in Tendinopathies
Tendinopathies are challenging. The term “tendinopathy” refers to clinical condition characterized by pain, swelling, and functional limitations of tendons and nearby structures. Tendinopathies give rise to significant morbidity, and, at present, only limited scientifically proven management modalities exist. Achilles and patellar tendons are among the most vulnerable tendons, and among the most frequent lower extremity overuse injuries. Achilles and patellar tendinopathies can be managed conservatively and surgically. Several surgical procedures have been described for both conditions, and, if performed well, they lea...

The Surgical Applications of Biologics in Sports Medicine
Over the past 25 years an increased appreciation of the positive impact of biologic interventions has driven significant advances in the surgical treatment of shoulder and knee conditions. These biologic adjuncts to treatment promote improved outcomes and have set the stage and increased research and development in this arena. (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Ankle Arthroscopic Surgery
Ankle arthroscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedure which was first attempted on cadavers by Dr Burman in 1931 and first successfully described in patients by Dr Takagi in 1939. Two general approaches to ankle arthroscopy currently exist: (1) anterior ankle arthroscopy and (2) posterior ankle arthroscopy. The indications for ankle arthroscopy have expanded as increased experience has been obtained treating various pathologic entities and as the surgical results have been reported in the literature. There has been significant progress in ankle arthroscopic surgery over the past decades, notably allowing sur...

Hip Arthroscopy - State of the Art in 2018
The field of hip arthroscopy has undergone considerable change in the past 25 years and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Lessons from the early complications and challenges of hip arthroscopy have led to improved safety and refinement of instrumentation and techniques. The pathophysiology of hip injuries is better understood, and advances in surgical technique have helped expand indications, particularly as a shift from pathology resection to anatomic repair and reconstructive procedures has occurred. As the field has progressed, longitudinal outcome studies are now available to help judge efficacy. The purpose of this...

Elbow Surgery in Athletes
Injuries and disorders of the elbow in athletes are common especially among throwing athletes. Common injuries encountered in the throwing athlete include ulnar collateral ligament injuries, ulnar neuritis, capitellar osteochondritis dissecans, valgus extension overload with posterior olecranon impingement, olecranon stress fracture, and loose bodies. A thorough knowledge of both the functional anatomy as well as throwing biomechanics are required to properly diagnosis and treat these problems. Nonoperative and surgical techniques have continued to advance over the last 25 years allowing for improved prognosis and return t...

Surgical Management of Proximal Long Head Biceps Tendon Disorders
Disorders of the long head of the biceps tendon can make a significant contribution to shoulder pain and dysfunction. Historically, open biceps tenotomy or a proximal tenodesis of the tendon through a deltopectoral approach was used to manage biceps tendonitis and instability. Recent developments have added additional options. Arthroscopic techniques offer minimally invasive methods to secure the biceps in the suprapectoral region at the appropriate length. An open subpectoral tenodesis provides for simple exposure that secures the tendon just proximal to the musculotendinous junction and eliminates potentially diseased te...

Rotator Cuff Repair: Single Row Repair Versus Double Row Repair and Superior Capsular Reconstruction
The surgical management of rotator cuff (RC) tears has progressed considerably in recent decades. Arthroscopic procedures now represent the mainstay of contemporary treatment approaches. The success of repair is predicated upon the achievement of a secure, durable repair that promotes tendon-to-bone healing. Both single and double row (DR) suture anchor configurations have been described to achieve stable fixation. Although consensus is lacking with regard to the clinical superiority of one configuration over another, trends in the literature suggest that DR repairs may optimize the likelihood of tendon healing and restora...

Shoulder Instability: Anterior, Posterior, Multidirectional, Arthroscopic Versus Open, Bone Block Procedures
This article presents a retrospective comprehensive review of the history of anterior, posterior, and multidirectional shoulder instability and also reviews key concepts such as open versus arthroscopic repair and glenoid and humeral head bone loss and associated treatments. The future of shoulder instability will continue to evolve as research and clinical experience will determine the direction of the future. (Source: Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review)

Preservation of Knee Articular Cartilage
Hyaline articular cartilage is critical for the normal functioning of the knee joint. Untreated focal cartilage defects have the potential to rapidly progress to diffuse osteoarthritis. Over the last several decades, a variety of interventions aiming at preserving articular cartilage and preventing osteoarthritis have been investigated. Reparative cartilage procedures, such as microfracture, penetrate the subchondral bone plate in effort to fill focal cartilage defects with marrow elements and stimulate fibrocartilaginous repair. In contrast, restorative cartilage procedures aim to replace the defective articular surface w...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
The past 3+ decades have been a period of intense interest in the anterior cruciate ligament. Graft choices, techniques, and fixation devices have all evolved. Our understanding of the anatomy has improved. Our follow-up and criteria for success have also expanded. Over the next several years advanced repair techniques, extra-articular augmentation, and addressing elevated tibial slope will all have to have their indications defined.

Meniscus Repair and Replacement
The importance of preserving the function of the meniscus is seen with renewed interest. There has been an evolution of arthroscopic meniscus repair from inside-out, outside-in, meniscal fixators, to all-inside suturing techniques. Tear patterns once ignored or thought to be irreparable, such as root tears and horizontal cleavage tears, have recently been undergoing repair with promising results. Newer techniques have also recently allowed surgeons to address postmeniscectomy knee pain. Replacing lost tissue with scaffolds or replacing the meniscus with an allograft helps restore function and reduce degenerative changes. (...

The Evolution of Patellofemoral Instability Surgery During the Past 25 Years
Surgical treatment of patellofemoral instability has evolved during the past 25 years as we developed a better appreciation of anatomy and a more sophisticated understanding of pathophysiology. Currently, most patellofemoral surgeons use soft tissue procedures like medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction to treat medial soft tissue insufficiency and tibial tuberosity or femoral osteotomy to correct substantial bony malalignment. Advances in imaging technology and computational analysis have allowed for more precise preoperative planning and outcome modeling so that the optimum operation using ≥1 of these procedures...
