    Netter’s Musculoskeletal Flash Cards Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D. Miller, MD University of Virginia This page intentionally left blank Preface In a world dominated by electronics and gadgetry, learning from fl ash cards remains a reassuringly “tried and true” method of building knowledge. They taught us subtraction and multiplication tables when we were young, and here we use them to navigate the basics of musculoskeletal medicine. Netter illustrations are supplemented with clinical, radiographic, and arthroscopic images to review the most common musculoskeletal diseases. These cards provide the user with a steadfast tool for the very best kind of learning—that which is self directed. “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” —Abigail Adams (1744–1818) “It’s that moment of dawning comprehension I live for!” —Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes) Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D.

  • The Role of Acromioplasty for Rotator Cuff Problems
    The Role of Acromioplasty for Rotator Cuff Problems Jonathan M. Frank, MDa,*, Jaskarndip Chahal, MD, FRCSCb, Rachel M. Frank, MDa, Brian J. Cole, MD, MBAc, Nikhil N. Verma, MDc, Anthony A. Romeo, MDc KEYWORDS Acromioplasty Subacromial decompression Impingement syndrome Rotator cuff repair KEY POINTS Acromioplasty is a well-described technique used for a variety of rotator cuff pathologies, with a rapid rise in its use over the past several years. There are 2 competing theories regarding rotator cuff pathology—intrinsic and extrinsic—that either support or limit the potential benefits of acromioplasty. Acromioplasty may be an effective treatment option for subacromial impingement refractory to conservative therapy. The utility of acromioplasty at the time of rotator cuff repair has come into question, with new studies showing no significant benefit. Further studies with long-term follow-up are required to determine the efficacy of acromioplasty for impingement syndrome and during rotator cuff repair. INTRODUCTION modifications have been proposed. For example, in 1987, Ellman7 described an arthroscopic tech- In 1972, Neer first described acromioplasty and re- nique to accomplish coracoacromial ligament ported on its utility in treating chronic impingement 1 release, resection of the anterior acromion under- syndrome.

  • Open Latarjet: a Reliable, Successful Method to Prevent Recurrence in the Presence of Bony Defects Kevin D
    Open Latarjet: A Reliable, Successful Method to Prevent Recurrence in the Presence of Bony Defects Kevin D. Plancher, MD,†,‡,§ Stephanie C. Petterson, PhD,† and Gilles Walch, MD* Glenoid bone loss may dictate the success of procedures to restore anterior shoulder instability. The Latarjet procedure addresses bony defects to minimize the risk of recurrence in this subset of patients with bone loss in both athletes and non-athletes alike. This article describes a modified, open Latarjet procedure using a subscapularis splitting technique that provides stability through the triple-blocking effect previously described by Patte et al. The “sling effect”, a dynamic effect created by the transfer of the conjoint tendon, provides stabilization in abducted and externally rotated arm positions particularly at mid and end ranges of motion. Augmentation of the anteroinferior glenoid increases or restores the glenoid diameter to provide stability through a “bone blocking effect”. Lastly, stability is achieved by repairing the capsule to the coracoacromial ligament stump. This open procedure has been utilized successfully when a physician is confronted by this difficult clinical scenario. Oper Tech Sports Med 21:238-245 C 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
