in the elbow requires surgery while collateral ligament
injury at the knee is treated nonoperatively, as are lateral
ankle sprains.

ORTHOPEDIC TECHNOLOGIES & TECHNIQUES
Two Techniques for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Fixation With a Bicortical Screw:
An In Vitro Study of Neurovascular Risk
LCDR Todd A. Curran, DO, Jon K. Sekiya, MD, Aimee E. Gibbs, BS,
and Kevin F. Bonner, MD
When using a bicortical screw and washer for tibial fixation in ACL repair, the surgeon must remain aware of the risk for
neurovascular injury during drilling of the anteromedial tibial metaphysis. Does drilling toward the fibula—rather than drilling perpendicular to the medial tibial cortex of the proximal metaphysis—minimize the risk?

Evaluation of the Medial Elbow in the
Throwing Athlete
R. Alexander Creighton, MD, Bernard R. Bach, Jr., MD,
and Charles A. Bush-Joseph, MD
Although baseball players, particularly pitchers, are
most often affected, athletes participating in sports such
as football, volleyball, water polo, tennis, and javelin
throwing can also incur considerable stress on the
medial elbow structures from valgus forces generated by
the throwing motion.

Brett L. Haywood, MD, Steven L. Porter, MD, and
William A. Grana, MD, MPH
The authors note that while musculoskeletal symptoms are
second only to upper respiratory illness for patients seeking medical attention in the primary care setting, many primary care residency programs do not provide adequate training in musculoskeletal medicine.

Neuroma of the Calcaneal Branch of the
Tibial Nerve: A Case Report
J. Bernard Bush, MD, and Robert J. Treuting, MD
The case presented demonstrates some of the difficulties that can be encountered in making the diagnosis of heel neuroma. Bush and Treuting discuss the relevant anatomic variations and
differences in clinical manifestations.
Subscapularis Avulsion Fractures in
2 Pediatric Ice Hockey Players
Paul S. Echlin, MD, Stephen T. Plomaritis, DO,
David M. Peck, MD, FACSM, and Elaine N. Skopelja, MALS
Echlin and colleagues advise that this injury may be more
common than previously recognized and that it be considered when a shoulder injury has been sustained in an abducted and externally rotated position, both as an isolated entity and as part of a traumatic complex (eg, anterior dislocation).

Damage-Control Orthopedics:
Evolution and Practical Applications
Nicholas Renaldo, MD, and Kenneth Egol, MD
As Dr. Ostrum notes in his commentary on this paper, all
orthopedic surgeons taking care of injured patients need to understand this important
topic. Central to these protocols:
recognizing the patient at risk.
