Effectiveness of Platelet-rich Plasma Injection as an Adjunct Treatment to Arthroscopy for TFCC Injury: A Retrospective Cohort Study Open
Background: Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries can cause significant patient dysfunction. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a potential adjunctive treatment for arthroscopic TFCC repair, with some studies suggesting …

Arthroscopic Midcarpal Suture Anchor Repair of Dorsal Intercarpal Ligament Avulsion Open
The dorsal intercarpal ligament (DICL) is crucial for carpal stability and is frequently associated with injuries to other carpal ligaments, notably the scapholunate and lunotriquetral interosseous ligaments. Although isolated DICL injurie…

Dorsal Intercarpal Ligament Tears: An Arthroscopic Classification and Clinical Outcomes Study Open
Background The dorsal intercarpal (DIC) ligament plays a significant role in carpal stability and is often associated with other carpal ligament injuries. Isolated DIC ligament injuries are rare and can present as a ligament avulsion, bony…

Arthroscopic Lunate Excision for Stage 3 Kienbock's Disease Open
Background The ideal treatment of stage 3 Kienbock's disease is uncertain, with current open procedures conferring the risk of carpal instability, ulnar translocation, and stiffness. We present our technique of arthroscopic lunate excision…

All-Dorsal Arthroscopic Ligamentoplasty (ADAL) in Scapholunate Instability Management: Surgical Technique Open
In advanced scapholunate instability, a scapholunate repair by open or arthroscopic ligamentoplasty is indicated. Although the radiographic results and functional scores are more or less satisfactory for open ligamentoplasty, it is often r…

Radiologic Evolution after Scapholunate Dorsal Capsulodesis for Chronic Tears Open
Background Many debates are still ongoing for the management of chronic scapholunate (SL) injuries. We have proposed an arthroscopic technique of dorsal capsulodesis with good clinical results. We now propose a radiological follow-up. Purp…

Wrist Basecamp: A New Digital Tool for Teaching Wrist Arthroscopy Open
The treatment of wrist pathologies has been revolutionized by the advent and development of wrist arthroscopy. Since then, many indications have been modified and others continue to be developed every day. Although not part of the surgical…

Arthroscopic Midcarpal Tendon Interposition: A New Technique for Capitolunate Constraints Open
Conflicts of the capitolunate, causing midcarpal pain from friction can be isolated (e.g., avascular necrosis of the proximal pole of the capitate [AVNC], palmar midcarpal instability [PMCI]) or form part of a framework of more complex ost…

Arthroscopic Bone Graft for Intraosseous Lunate Bone Ganglion Open
Intraosseous lunate bone ganglia (ILBG) are known to be a cause of chronic wrist pain and disability. Standard treatment consists of curettage and autologous bone grafting. Open procedures have shown good results with few recurrences, but …

Arthroscopic Repair of the Dorsal Intercarpal Ligament Detachment from the Scaphoid Open
Background The dorsal intercarpal ligament, whose role in dorsal stability of the wrist has been shown, can be harmed in case of injury to the dorsal scapholunate complex. However, dorsal intercarpal ligament injury also seems to exist iso…

The Glenoid Vault Outer Cortex a new more accurate radiological reference for shoulder arthroplasty Open
Introduction : Correct positioning of the glenoid component is an important determinant of outcome in shoulder arthroplasty. We describe and assess a new radiological plane of reference for improving the accuracy of glenoid preparation pri…
