techniques
Deltoid ligament injury
Etiology
Ankle sprain
- eversion / external rotation
Ankle fractures
Trochanteric Osteotomy
Types
1. Standard trochanteric osteotomy
2. Sliding trochanteric osteotomy
3. Extended trochanteric osteotomy
Standard Trochanteric osteotomy
Tibial tubercle fractures
Epidemiology
Adolescent boys
Ossification
Proximal tibia / primary ossification centre
Tibial tuberosity / secondary ossification centre
- eventually merges with primary ossification centre
Ogden Classification
Type I - Tibial tuberosity ossification only
Stems
Advantage
1. Reduce implant loosening
- offset load sharing to diaphysis
- 30% if > 70 mm
2. Restore optimal alignment
Indications
1. Using augments or bone grafting
2. Increased constraint
- VVS / hinge
Full thickness tears
Surgical Options
1. Open antero-lateral approach
Large / Massive Cuff Tear
2. Deltopectoral approach
Large Subscapularis tear
3. Arthroscopic Assisted Mini-open
Indication
- Small / Moderate Cuff Tear < 3cm
- no retraction
Technique
- arthroscopic SAD
Subscapularis tears
Anatomy
Largest and most powerful rotator cuff
- arises coastal border of scapula
- superior 2/3 tendon inserts into LT
- inferior 1/3 inserts into proximal humerus
Action
- IR (with T major, P major, Lat Dorsi)
- part of force couplet depressing humeral head
Incidence
Irreparable / Massive tears
Definitions
Massive tear
1. > 5cm
- retracted to humerus / glenoid margin
2. At least 2 complete tendons
- lose SS / IS or SS / SC
Classification
Recurrent Posterior Instability
Definition
Patients usually complain of subluxation rather than dislocation
- rarely requires reduction
Different entity to acute posterior dislocation usually
Epidemiology
Rare
Aetiology
1. Ligamentous laxity > 50%
- commonly associated with MDI
- posterior only 20%
- posterior & inferior 20%
