READ MOREThumb Fracture Fixation Techniques: 11 Surgical Methods for Thumb Fractures and DislocationsIntroductionThe thumb plays a critical role in hand function, contributing substantially to pinch, grasp, opposition, and fine motor control.
READ MORECalcaneal fractures are among the most complex injuries of the hindfoot. They are frequently caused by high-energy trauma, including falls from height and motor-vehicle accidents, and a substantial proportion involve the subtalar joint.
READ MOREArthroscopic knot tying is a fundamental skill in minimally invasive orthopedic surgery. Although modern suture anchors, high-strength sutures, and knotless fixation devices have simplified many soft-tissue repair procedures, conventional arthroscopic knots remain important for rotator cuff repair.
READ MOREIntroductionA peripheral nerve neuroma is a disorganized proliferation of regenerating axons, Schwann cells, connective tissue, and other cellular components that may develop after peripheral nerve injury or transection.
READ MOREIntroductionAccurate identification of ligament attachment sites is fundamental to anatomic knee ligament reconstruction. The position of a femoral or tibial tunnel can substantially influence graft orientation, tension, joint kinematics, and postoperative stability.
READ MOREIntroductionPilon fractures, also known as tibial plafond fractures, are complex distal tibial injuries that involve the weight-bearing surface of the ankle joint. They are commonly caused by high-energy axial loading, such as motor vehicle accidents, falls from height, and sports-related trauma.
