One of the most common procedures performed in orthopedics is knee arthroscopy, and a variety of complications are found with this procedure. One of the most avoidable complications is that of retained instruments. This article describes the case of a patient in the private practice orthopedic setting who returned 6 years after a knee arthroscopic procedure reporting acute onset pain. It was di...

We give an unconditional proof of the André-Oort conjecture for arbitrary products of modular curves. We establish two generalizations. The first includes the Manin-Mumford conjecture for arbitrary products of elliptic curves defined over Q as well as Lang’s conjecture for torsion points in powers of the multiplicative group. The second includes the Manin-Mumford conjecture for abelian varietie...

Anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is a common injury of young people playing contact sport and may progress to recurrent episodes of symptomatic instability. The usual treatment for a primary dislocation is a short period of immobilisation follo...

The purpose of this presentation is to accomplish the three “Ds”: (1) Define failed arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD), (2) Determine the cause, and (3) “Do the right thing.” The success rate with arthroscopic subacromial decompression has historically ranged from 80%-90%.1-7 Therefore, a “failure” rate of 10%-20% must be accounted for. In those circumstances where a failure has occur...

Posterolateral corner knee lesions are infrequent and very disabling. They usually occur with other ligament lesions, so historically different techniques have been used to reconstruct this kind of lesions. Most of them involve open surgery, with the Clancy procedure as one of the most popular ones. After thorough preoperative planning taking into account the patient's activities, we propose a ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the results of Posteromedial (PM) open reduction internal fixation versus arthroscopic reduction and adjustable loop fixation of displaced Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures, regarding healing, degree of posterior stability, Range of Motion (ROM), level of activity, complications and diagnosis of associated injuries. Hyp...

osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that rarely involves joints. although there are several reports of arthroscopic osteoid osteoma excisions, to our knowledge, there are no reports of this type of treatment for osteoid osteoma in carpal bones. we report two cases of arthroscopic (a person who had a pain in the left wrist and the other one with carpal tunnel syndrome) with excision of osteoi...

Hip arthroscopy is one of the most rapidly evolving arthroscopy techniques. It combines the benefits of a minimally invasive procedure and a short rehabilitation period. Improved instrumentation and technical skills have advanced our ability to accurately diagnose and treat various conditions. The role of this procedure continues to evolve with new indications that might change the outcome of d...
