The Arthrex Elbow Fracture Plating System provides a comprehensive portfolio of distal humerus and olecranon plates. Designed to treat all fractures, the set comes with KreuLock™ locking compression screws, allowing the surgeon to both reduce the plate to bone and compress across a fracture. The plating portfolio is perfectly complemented by Arthrex soft-tissue procedures and fracture reduction, including LUCL/MUCL InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation, FiberTape® cerclage, and the ElbowLOC® elbow positioner.

The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

As the rate of UCL injuries continues to rise among competitive athletes, understanding the best path back to play is more important than ever.
A recent clinical publication provides a direct comparison between UCL repair with InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation and traditional UCL reconstruction, helping address a significant gap in return-to-play expectations.[1] The findings reinforce UCL repair with InternalBrace augmentation as a valuable treatment option for appropriately indicated athletes seeking a faster return to sport.

Grant Garcia, MD, demonstrates the use of the divider cannula and Knotless 2.6 FiberTak® soft anchors from the Remplissage Implant System. The video highlights anchor placement and interconnection through the divider cannula to create a tensionable knotless remplissage construct. Dr. Garcia also shares surgical pearls for suture management, and staged tensioning to reduce the infraspinatus into the Hill-Sach's defect for a secure and efficient instability repair.

New literature continues to support meniscal preservation procedures. In a recent Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine publication, a review of more than 36,000 patients showed lower reoperation rates and reduced osteoarthritis (OA) treatment for those undergoing meniscal repair as compared to meniscectomy.

Burn wound infections remain a leading challenge in recovery, driven by rapid bacterial colonization and resilient biofilm formation. JumpStart® antimicrobial dressings are designed to address these complexities—helping disrupt biofilm, prevent its formation, and reduce a broad spectrum of microbes, including multidrug-resistant bacteria.[1-3]

Published in the Journal of Cartilage & Joint Preservation, this randomized controlled trial compared platelet-rich plasma (PRP) alone with PRP plus hyaluronic acid (HA) in 64 participants with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis[1].
Both groups demonstrated improvement from baseline across the reported WOMAC, IKDC, and KOOS5 outcomes, with no statistically significant differences detected between the treatment groups[1]. The authors concluded that PRP alone and PRP administered with hyaluronic acid performed similarly through 24 months, although reduced follow-up limited the statistical strength of the analysis beyond 12 months[1].

ALT The image shows an illustration of a knee joint with a syringe injecting into the joint space. Text reads: "Research Spotlight: PRP Alone Performed Similarly to PRP Plus HA at 2 Years. Published Research in Knee Osteoarthritis." The Arthrex logo is in the bottom corner.
ALT A graphic illustrating details of a study on knee osteoarthritis. It mentions 64 participants, randomized to receive PRP alone or PRP plus hyaluronic acid. Three PRP injections were given at one-week intervals, with HA administered during the first two for that group. Outcomes were evaluated through 24 months using WOMAC, IKDC, and KOOS. The background features blue abstract virus-like shapes.
ALT The image displays a graph and text summarizing research findings. The graph shows WOMAC scores over a 24-month follow-up period for two groups: "PRP" and "PRP + HA". Both groups show improvement over time, with no significant differences between them. Key findings note similar results between groups and cite a study from "J. Cartilage Joint Preserv. 2023".
ALT The image shows a section of a scholarly article. A reference is noted, authored by Cook JJ, Cohen AJ, et al., highlighting a study on platelet-rich plasma's efficacy in treating osteoarthritis. The text mentions limited statistical power and reliance on patient-reported outcomes.
Watch as Travis Menge, MD, uses the ApolloRF® H50 probe to treat a cam lesion with efficient ablation and precise tissue contouring.

In this series of BreakThrough™ With Christopher Adams, MD, leading surgeons Michael A. Gallizzi, MD; Raymond J. Gardocki, MD; Saqib Hasan, MD; and Christopher A. Yeung, MD, explore the latest innovation in percutaneous pars fracture repair.
Common in adolescent and young adult athletes,[1] pars interarticularis stress fractures can result from repetitive extension forces on the lumbar spine. These injuries are frequently observed in sports such as gymnastics, football, and cheerleading. Explore how minimally invasive percutaneous pars fracture repair uses a fully threaded spine compression screw to directly stabilize the fracture.

October 16 is recognized as #WorldSpineDay, to bring awareness of spinal health and the importance of physical activity worldwide.
#ArthrexSpine is focused on minimizing soft-tissue damage through ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic treatments supported by advanced instrumentation and unparalleled surgical skills training, all aimed at motion preservation.
We’ve been thinking about a simple question we ask surgeons: What do your patients want to get back to? The answers are often the everyday things such as running, playing a round of golf, or walking the dog without pain. It’s a good reminder that spine surgery isn’t just about a procedure. It’s about helping people get back to their lives and the things they enjoy.
We’re grateful to the surgeons who share that goal and continue to push the field of endoscopic spine surgery forward.
