Currently, the arthroscopic technique becomes important tool for diagnosis and therapy for surgeon (1Mehdi2012) because it allows direct intra-articular pathology visualization, faster rehabilitation, lower morbidity and better cosmetic results when compared with conventional open surgical technique (iii arthro2014).

    These tendons allow for flexion and clenching of the fist. The medial nerve plays one of the most important parts of the hand. It supplies sensation to the palm side of the thumb, index, middle finger, and ring finger, and to the flexor tendons. The medial nerve also provides a function for the muscles at the base of the thumb. The nerve travels through the carpal tunnel and because the nerve is not very flexible any swelling can add pressure on the median nerve.…

    Advanced ankle arthritis, avascular osteonecrosis (AVN), and osteomyelitis (OM) of the ankle remain a surgical challenge in the foot and ankle arena with limited treatment options (64,62,61,52,42). The role of the talus within the ankle joint is of particular interest as it guides sagittal motion of the lower extremity (22). Multiple medical comorbidities including but not limited to autoimmune disease, trauma, avascular necrosis (42,52-54), or other idiopathic etiologies contribute to total loss of the talus (40, 43, 61-64). Furthermore, collapse of the talar body as a complication of total ankle arthroplasty (51), talectomy in infection and septic talus necrosis (60) or severe bone defects due to tumor resection (59) may result in the need…
