Biomechanical Analysis of an Isolated Fibular (Lateral) Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using an Autogenous Semitendinosus Graft

AJSM 2007

The fibular collateral ligament is the primary stabilizer to varus instability of the knee. Untreated fibular collateral ligament injuries can lead to residual knee instability and can increase the risk of concurrent cruciate ligament reconstruction graft failures. Anatomic reconstructions of the fibular collateral ligament have not been biomechanically validated.

A Prospective Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of the Incidence of Posterolateral and Multiple Ligament Injuries in Acute Knee Injuries Presenting With a Hemarthrosis

JOURNAL OF ARTHROSCOPIC AND RELATED SURGERY 2007

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the incidence of posterolateral knee injuries, as well as other concurrent knee ligament injuries, could be obtained from a prospective evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging scans in patients with an acute knee injury with a hemarthrosis.

Development of an Anatomic Medial Knee Reconstruction

KSSTA 2012

The main static stabilizers of the medial knee are the superficial medial collateral and posterior oblique ligaments. A number of reconstructive techniques have been advocated including one we describe here. However, whether these reconstructions restore function and stability is unclear.

Shoulder kinematics during the wall push-up plus exercise

JOURNAL OF SHOULDER AND ELBOW SURGERY 2010

The push-up plus exercise is a common therapeutic exercise for improving shoulder function and treating shoulder pathology. To date, the kinematics of the push-up plus exercise have not been studied. Our hypothesis was that the wall push-up plus exercise would demonstrate increased scapular internal rotation and increased humeral anterior translation during the […]

Radiographic Landmarks for Tunnel Positioning in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions

AJSM 2013

Consistent radiographic guidelines for tunnel placement in single or double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstructions are not well defined. Quantitative guidelines reporting the location of the individual PCL bundle attachments would aid in intraoperative tunnel placement and postoperative assessment of a PCL reconstruction. This study hypothesized that consistent and reproducible measurements in relation to […]

Ice Hockey Goaltender Rehabilitation, Including On-Ice Progression, After Arthroscopic Hip Surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement

JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC AND SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY 2013

Hip injuries among ice hockey players are very common, especially for goaltenders. The “butterfly technique” of goal tending is becoming increasingly popular in the ice hockey community. This technique transfers a lot of pressure on the hip joint causing pain. Following surgery, goaltenders require increased attention and care when […]

Intra-articular lateral femoral condyle fracture following an ACL revision reconstruction

KSSTA 2009

Lateral femoral condyle fractures following an ACL reconstruction are rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a lateral femoral condyle fracture following a revision ACL reconstruction. The patient’s fracture was intra-articular, had a significant amount of soft tissue damage, and was further complicated by a large  defect involving the bone […]

Anatomic Suture Anchor Versus the Brostrom Technique for Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair

AJSM 2012

This manuscript was co-written with our foot and ankle team to define the best manner to perform a lateral ankle ligament reconstruction.  In this study, we attempted to define whether a suture anchor at the fibula or talus best restores the native strength of the anterior talofibular ligament.  We found that both a standard […]
