Os trigonum.

Abstract

There is a wide variation in the nomenclature for the posterior aspect of the talus (eg, os trigonum, trigonal process, Stieda process, posterior process). Injuries to these structures can be caused by chronic, repetitive impingement of the bony prominence or by acute hyperplantar flexion of the foot and ankle. After failing appropriate nonoperative treatment, surgical excision of the bony involvement is recommended. Surgical options include open or arthroscopic excision of the bony structure.

Arthroscopic management of labral tears in the hip: a systematic review of the literature.

Arthroscopic management of labral problems in the hip has become an accepted therapeutic modality in appropriately selected patients. We performed a systematic review of the literature to determine the rate of patient satisfaction that can be expected following acetabular labral débridement. Computerized literature databases were searched from January 1980 to September 2005 to identify relevant articles that met inclusion criteria and had at least 2 years followup. We included patients with symptomatic acetabular labral tears who failed conservative management, were not claiming workers' compensation, and did not have severe arthritis or severe acetabular dysplasia. Following labral débridement this patient population can expect: (1) a patient satisfaction rate of approximately 67% at 3.5 years follow-up; (2) good results by a modified Harris Hip Score in patients who are subjectively satisfied with their outcome; and (3) a complete resolution of mechanical symptoms in nearly 50% of patients with this complaint. Although limited, the current literature supports non workers' compensation patients with isolated labral tears, who lack associated intraarticular abnormality, can receive both symptomatic and functional improvement following arthroscopic labral débridement.

Arthroscopic hybrid double-row rotator cuff repair.

A Beath pin is drilled on the greater tuberosity under arthroscopy using an anterior cruciate ligament guide. The suture anchor is inserted in the lateral aspect of the footprint. Sutures are then passed through the margins of the rotator cuff tear and tied with sliding knot. One strand of tied suture anchor is passed into the bony trough. One passed strand and the other strand are then tied with a non-sliding knot on the greater tuberosity. The strength of cuff fixation does not only rely on the quality of the bone, it restores the footprint contact area of rotator cuff, and reduces the use of suture anchors to the minimum in this method.

Hip arthroscopy: current concepts and review of literature.

Diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular hip problems in young patients present a challenge to hip surgeons. Previous studies have shown that non-invasive investigations such as radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide limited help. Non-operative treatment is likely to result in persistent symptoms, and surgical options for intra-articular hip problems involve open arthrotomy of the hip joint, which carries potential risks associated with joint dislocation. Arthroscopy of the hip joint, therefore, seems to be an attractive option. It was once thought that introduction of a straight arthroscope into the ball-and-socket hip joint was almost impossible. Hip arthroscopy has seen several advances since then, and the speed at which it developed in recent years directly corresponded to the rate at which the conditions affecting the hip joint were identified. Athletes and other young individuals with hip injuries are increasingly being diagnosed with an ever evolving series of conditions. Many of these conditions were previously unrecognised and thus left untreated, resulting in premature ends to the patients' competitive careers. Hip arthroscopy, as with any procedure, is not without risks. The procedure is not widely available as it requires specialist equipment and takes a long time to learn. Complications are few, occurring in <5% of patients.
