However, there has been widespread acceptance of PRP for use in clinical practice, despite an inadequate understanding of its biological […]
Defining surgical relevant anatomic landmarks can be particularly difficult at the time of surgery.
The following slides provide an outline of definable landmarks based upon our studies that have proven to be very useful to residents, fellows, and surgeons in surgery. The slides outline the primary anatomic landmarks for MCL surgery, posterolateral (PLC) knee surgery and […]
This guide demonstrates the interpretation of the amount of side-to-side differences in stress radiographs to determine a complete or a partial medial knee, lateral knee and PCL tear.
This guide is useful to post in one’s clinic to assist with the interpretation of stress radiographs. Stress radiographs should be obtained in all […]
