Robert LaPrade, MD, PhD performed an anatomic ACL reconstruction Live on Facebook Friday, October 20 at 9 AM MDT. (Click here to watch on Facebook or scroll down to watch below.)
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common injuries that occur in active individuals. […]
Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a blood-derived preparation whose use has grown exponentially in orthopaedic practice. However, there remains an unclear understanding of the biological properties and effects of PRP on musculoskeletal healing. Heterogeneous processing methods, unstandardized nomenclature, and ambiguous classifications make comparison among studies challenging. A comprehensive […]
On Friday, Oct. 20, at 9 AM aspiring doctors, practicing surgeons and those (with a strong stomach) interested in the procedure can stream a Facebook Live video to watch renowned Steadman Clinic knee surgeon Dr. Robert LaPrade perform an ACL reconstruction on a cadaver knee. To watch […]
We describe the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and complications of a 27-year-old male paraskiier who sustained a closed high-velocity knee dislocation after colliding with a tree at a speed of 45 mph and falling 40 feet to the ground. Extensive surgery to repair and recon- struct the knee included open […]
Drs. Huard, Provencher and LaPrade, as well as Luke O’Brien PT, were in Sao Paolo, Brazil at a course celebrating the 20th year anniversary of CETE (Do Centro de Traumatologia do Esporte (Portuguese)) set up by Dr. Moises Cohen. Dr. Cohen is considered the top South American sports medicine surgeon and was […]
Background: Multiligament knee injuries cause significant functional impairment. Adults undergoing anatomic reconstruction of multiligament knee injuries have excellent outcomes postoperatively. However, less is known about the outcomes in adolescent patients following multiligament reconstruction.
Purpose/Hypothesis: We aimed to assess patient outcomes and failure rates following unstaged multiligament reconstruction in an […]
The meniscus was once considered a functionless remnant of muscle that should be removed in its entirety at any sign of abnormality. Its role in load distribution, knee stability, and arthritis prevention has since been well established. The medial and lateral menisci are now considered vital structures in the […]
As a planetary scientist, Dan Durda has always had a fascination with the natural wonders of planet Earth. Dan has traveled all around the world exploring and learning about the planet we call home. Through these adventures, Dan has never been physically restricted until an unexpected fall on April 16, 2016.
Dan’s fieldwork at Meteor Crater […]
Medial patellar instability is a disabling condition that is often misdiagnosed. In 1988, Hughston and Deese described medial patellar instability as a complication of a lateral retinacular release procedure and reported that patients had increased pain and instability after a lateral retinacular release. Several studies have since reported […]
The description of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) and its effect on controlling internal rotation has led to the development of ALL reconstruction techniques in an effort to better restore native knee biomechanics and stability. As a model, anatomic-based and biomechanically validated reconstructions have led to improved […]
