Tips and Techniques in Elbow Surgery
A Practical Approach
Article
The management of shoulder instability in throwing athletes remains a challenge given the delicate balance between physiologic shoulder laxity facilitating performance and the inherent need for shoulder stabil...
Article
Anterior shoulder instability is associated with concomitant injury to several stabilizing structures of the shoulder, including glenoid bone loss. While instability is most common in young athletes and patien...
Article
Identifying predictive factors for all-cause reoperation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction could inform clinical decision making and improve risk mitigation. The primary purposes of this study ar...
Article
Deep learning has the potential to be one of the most transformative technologies to impact orthopedic surgery. Substantial innovation in this area has occurred over the past 5 years, but clinically meaningful...
Article
Patients with seizure disorders commonly suffer shoulder dislocations and subsequent instability. Due to high rates of recurrence and bone loss, management of this instability and associated pathology has pro...
Article
Elbow pain poses a unique challenge in the throwing athlete. Due to the high levels of elbow stress during the throwing motion, elbow injuries are common in throwers of all ages. There are several postulated f...
Article
Deep learning has a profound impact on daily life. As Orthopedics makes use of this rapid escalation in technology, Orthopedic surgeons will need to take leadership roles on deep learning projects. Moreover, s...
Article
This article reviews the incidence of batter’s shoulder, the relevant biomechanics that predispose the lead shoulder to a posterior instability event, the evaluation and workup of posterior labral injury, the ...
Article
This study sought to develop and internally validate a machine learning model to identify risk factors and quantify overall risk of secondary meniscus injury in a longitudinal cohort after primary ACL reconstr...
Article
Shoulder instability in the overhead athlete is a difficult problem because of the balance between necessary laxity for athletic movements and stability of the joint. The purpose of this review is to provide a...
Article
Although ultrasound (US) imaging is commonly used to evaluate the elbow medial ulnar collateral ligament (mUCL) in throwing athletes, significant technical heterogeneity exists in the published literature and ...
Article
The role of the meniscus in preserving the biomechanical function of the knee joint has been clearly defined. The hypothesis that meniscus root integrity is a prerequisite for meniscus function is supported by...

Chapter
The anatomic medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) reconstruction technique is designed to more closely recreate native MUCL anatomy via graft fixation at both the proximal and distal footprint of the native...
Chapter
The medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) is the primary static restraint to valgus stress at the elbow. In high-level throwing athletes, incompetence of the MUCL can lead to medial elbow pain, decreased thr...

To compare rates of recurrent instability, revision surgery and functional outcomes following arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair for recurrent anterior instability using knot-tying versus knotless sutu...
Article
There is limited data comparing the outcomes of knee arthroplasty for arthritis secondary to meniscus root tear versus primary osteoarthritis. The aim of this 2:1 matched case control series was to compare out...

Weighted baseball throwing programs have gained significant attention recently. They have been promoted as proven option for pitchers wishing to increase their throwing velocity and improve throwing mechanics....
Chapter
From Dr. Jobe’s initial description of surgical reconstruction of the anterior bundle of the medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) in 1986 to the present day, the so-called “Tommy John” procedure has undergo...
