Surgical Technique

Proximal humeral bone loss is commonly encountered in the arthroplasty setting and this can provide a challenging problem for reconstructive shoulder surgeons.

Hook of hamate fractures, while uncommon in the general population, are more common among athletes.

Open reduction and internal fixation of acromion fractures with or without previous reverse shoulder arthroplasty can provide significant relief for patients who lack mobility in the injured shoulder and have failed conservative treatment.

Demonstrated in this video is the site of a Levy 3 fracture proximal to the base of the acromion that occurred after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

There has been a recent increase in ulnar collateral ligament injuries. These injuries typically occur in overhead athletes and baseball players, but can occur in athletes at all competition levels.

Demonstrated in this video is the technique of ulnar collateral ligament repair with internal brace augmentation.

Ligamentous Lisfranc injuries are characterized by a disruption between the articulation of the medial cuneiform and the base of the second metatarsal.

The term corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments, or CAIRS, refers to the intra-channel placement of allogenic tissue for the treatment of corneal ectasia.

Ruptures of the deltoid muscle tendon are rare injuries that are infrequently reported in the literature.

Isolated rib fractures are common injuries that are treated nonoperatively. However, in the setting of multiple rib fractures, there may be chest wall instability or a flail chest.
