Both hook plate fixation and suture button–anchor have been reported to yield good results in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint reconstruction. In addition a mandatory secondary procedure, clearly has an increased prevalence post-traumatic arthritis short term that is likely progress long term. Conversely, fixation—a minimally invasive technique creates less soft-tissue disruption,...

Arthroscopic posterior bone block procedure using cortical screws has been reported since 2012 for management of recurrent instability associated with defects. To avoid screw complications, we describe a full arthroscopic technique based on button fixation. With 4 portals (posterior, poster lateral, anterior, and anterolateral), use specific glenoid guiding system (to perform 2 tunnels) buttons...

background: tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament are not infrequent. however, controversies exist between the fixation of the fragments and their reconstruction in the cases with small bony fragments. this prospective study was undertaken to study the results after fixation of the fragments by the malleolar screw and the pull through suture techniques.   methods: from ju...

Injuries to the tibioperoneal syndesmosis are more frequent than previously thought and their treatment is essential for the stability of the ankle mortise.Recognition of these lesions is essential to avoid long-term morbidity.Diagnosis often requires complete history, physical examination, weight-bearing radiographs and MRI.Treatment-oriented classification is mandatory.It is recommended that ...

Tendon transfers pptay an important role in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. Multiple methods for fixation of tendon to bone are used including suture of tendon to periosteum, suture into bone troughs, suture anchors, and passage through bone tunnels. With the increasing populatity of hamstring tendon anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions has come new fixation technology. Soft-tissue...
