Hindfoot endoscopy for posterior ankle impingement. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The surgical treatment of posterior ankle impingement is associated with a high rate of complications and a substantial time to recover. An endoscopic approach to the posterior ankle (hindfoot endoscopy) may lack these disadvantages. We ... Read more...

Avulsion of the proximal hamstring origin. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The torn hamstring is a common athletic injury. The purpose of the present study was to review the clinical presentation of this injury, the diagnostic imaging findings, the surgical technique of reattachment, and the likely clinical ... Read more...

Traumatic valgus instability of the elbow: pathoanatomy and results of direct repair. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The medial collateral ligament provides valgus stability to the elbow. The purpose of the present study was to describe the pathoanatomy of acute traumatic medial collateral ligament ruptures and to report the rationale and results of ... Read more...
