Technique for Lateral Opening Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy Using Patient‐Specific Instrumentation for Genu Valgum and Patellar Instability

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent lateral patellar instability poses a technical challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Isolated soft‐tissue procedures through medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction or lateral release show unacceptably high failure rates. Lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy addresses underlying bony malalignment and reinforces the soft ...

Arthroscopic Segmental Labral Reconstruction Using a Presutured Iliotibial Band Allograft Soaked in Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Labral reconstruction is a surgical procedure in which a graft is used to replace irreparable acetabular labral tissue. Biologic augmentation with bone marrow aspirate concentrate harvested from the ipsilateral iliac crest is increasingly used to enhance graft incorporation and potentially improve functional outcomes, especially in patients ...
