Introduction. Haglund?s deformity represents a reactive enlargement of the posterosuperior aspect calcaneus and often causes pain that can significantly disturb everyday activities. If patient?s condition does not improve after six months non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment could be taken into consideration. Although is successfully treated by endoscopic calcaneoplasty with two-portal te...

myocardial bridging with systolic compression of the left anterior descending coronary artery (lad) may be associated with myocardial ischemia. in symptomatic myocardial bridging unresponsive to medical treatment, surgical unroofing of the left lad can be performed. little information is available about the long-term prognosis of patients with this coronary anomaly after the surgical unroofing,...

The history of arthroscopy begins in 1918 when Takagi performed a knee arthroscopy in a cadaver. Due to its narrow joint space, the ankle joint was not considered suitable for arthro‐ scopy in those days. Despite this, in 1939, Takagi described an arthroscopic technique for the ankle joint in a Japanese Orthopaedic Association Journal (Takagi 1939). Watanabe describes in 1972 the anteromedial, ...

BACKGROUND It is common to place the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial tunnel with a transtibial technique using a guide that attempts to place the center of the tunnel 1 to 1.5 cm distal to the tibiofemoral joint. It is unknown how well this technique will re-create the native tibial footprint of the PCL. PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of tibial tunnel placement using a transtibial ...

Shoulder arthroscopy is a promising tool for assessing and treating patients with a rotator cuff tear. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with suture anchor fixation such as the single-row, double-row, and suture bridge technique are popular procedures that can provide excellent clinical outcomes. On the other hand, longitudinal midsubstance, U-shape, or L-shape tears may benefit more from a side...
