By Editor-in-Chief Orthopaedic surgeons spend most of their surgical planning thinking about bones and hardware. However, respecting the soft tissues (eg, the skin) is a key factor in promoting healing after orthopaedic surgery, particularly in the setting of trauma or infection. Attending and resident physicians alike often think that they are tying square knots, when in reality they are throwing a series of half hitches in opposite directions, ultimately creating a slip knot. The purpose of this article is to review the nature of a square knot, demonstrate how to tie a square knot, and review the most common error in technique that young surgeons often demonstrate in the operating room.

Loop securities of arthroscopic sliding-knot techniques when the suture loop is not evenly tensioned.
Arthroscopy. 2013 Aug;29(8):1380-6
Authors: Kim SH, Glaser D, Doan J, Chung SW, Choi HY, Oh JH, Hargens AR
Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the loop security of arthroscopic sliding knots when tension is only applied to the post strand and not the loop strand.
METHODS: Six different locking sliding knots (Weston, Nicky, Roeder, SMC, San Diego, and Dines) were included. Loop securities were evaluated in 2 ways: with a conventional method (equal tension applied to the suture loop) and with a worst-case scenario (WCS) method (only the post strand of the suture loop was tensioned). Differences between test methods were evaluated for significance. To help assess the applicability of each test method, loop-security testing in a cadaveric shoulder was performed with 1 type of knot (SMC).

Treatment of large cystic medial osteochondral lesions of the talus with autologous osteoperiosteal cylinder grafts.
Arthroscopy. 2013 Aug;29(8):1372-9
Authors: Hu Y, Guo Q, Jiao C, Mei Y, Jiang D, Wang J, Zheng Z
Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical, radiologic, and second-look arthroscopic outcomes of autologous iliac crest osteoperiosteal cylinder graft transplantation for medial osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) with large subchondral cysts.
METHODS: Between January 2008 and December 2010, 17 consecutive cases of medial OLT with a subchondral cyst larger than 10 mm in diameter received transplantation of autologous osteoperiosteal cylinder graft, which was harvested from the ipsilateral iliac crest. The visual analog scale score for pain during daily activities, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society hindfoot and ankle scores, and subjective satisfaction survey rating were obtained. Plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging of the ankle were obtained before and after surgery. In 13 cases second-look arthroscopy was performed 12 months postoperatively and the cartilage repair was assessed with the criteria of the International Cartilage Repair Society.

How to treat Guyon's canal syndrome? Results from the European HANDGUIDE study: a multidisciplinary treatment guideline.
Br J Sports Med. 2013 Jul 31;
Authors: Hoogvliet P, Coert JH, Fridén J, Huisstede BM, the European HANDGUIDE group
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although Guyon's canal syndrome is not highly prevalent, a considerable knowledge of anatomy is needed to localise and treat the pathology. Data on the effectiveness of interventions for this disorder are lacking.
OBJECTIVE: To achieve consensus on a multidisciplinary treatment guideline for this disorder based on experts' opinions.
METHODS: A European Delphi consensus strategy was initiated. In total, 35 experts (hand surgeons/hand therapists selected by the national member associations of their European federations and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physicians) participated in the Delphi consensus strategy. Each Delphi round consisted of a questionnaire, an analysis and a feedback report.
