Research & Education
Education:
Sano Orthopedics is committed to advancing the education of future physicians. Our physicians are Associate Clinical Faculty at KCU. This means medical students rotate with our physicians on a monthly basis. The medical students observe surgery and clinic to learn more about orthopedic care.
Research:
Our physicians are active researchers in the orthopedic field.

Simultaneous Bilateral Rupture of Patellar Tendons
Simultaneous Bilateral Rupture of Patellar Tendons in a Young Man Without Predisposing Factors or Systemic Disease Kyle L Barner, Caitlin Gluck, and Kevin A Witte Published online: Aug 23, 2019 Bilateral patellar tendon (BPT) rupture is an exceedingly rare cause of...
The Role of the Anterolateral Structures and the ACL in Controlling Laxity of the Intact and ACL-Deficient Knee
The Role of the Anterolateral Structures and the ACL in Controlling Laxity of the Intact and ACL-Deficient Knee Rotational control of the knee was long thought to be secondary to the ACL alone. Recent works have shown that it is not that simple. In this article, we...
Regarding “Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee, Fact or Fiction?”
Regarding “Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee, Fact or Fiction?”This article is a letter response to an article examining the anterolateral ligament of the knee. Within our letter, we note the history of the anterolateral structures and the impact the anterolateral...
Arthroscopic Treatment of Sinding-Larsen-Johansson Syndrome
Arthroscopic Treatment of Sinding-Larsen-Johansson SyndromeThis article discusses the treatment of a painful disorder that affects adolescents. It doesn’t often require surgery, but in certain situations in which patients are unable to find improvement with...
Minimally Invasive Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction
Minimally Invasive Anterolateral Ligament ReconstructionThis article demonstrates one of our techniques for reconstruction of the anterolateral ligament and can be performed in combination with nearly any ACL reconstruction technique. Contact Our Care Team! (816)...
Surgical Dissection of the Anterolateral Ligament
Surgical Dissection of the Anterolateral LigamentThis article is the first video documentation of the anterolateral ligament and demonstrates a dissection technique to consistently visualize the structure anatomically. For many, this video provided the evidence needed...
Isometric Characteristics of the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee: A Cadaveric Navigation Study
Isometric Characteristics of the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee: A Cadaveric Navigation Study This article tests the different potential insertion/reconstruction points of the anterolateral ligament and demonstrates that the anatomical attachments sites coincide...
The Involvement of the Anterolateral Ligament in Rotational Control of the Knee
The Involvement of the Anterolateral Ligament in Rotational Control of the KneeHistorically, it was thought that the ACL alone was the major contributor to rotational stability of the knee. This investigation revealed that an injury to the ACL alone is not enough to...
Femoral Origin of the Anterolateral Ligament: An Anatomic Analysis
Femoral Origin of the Anterolateral Ligament: An Anatomic AnalysisThis study performed at Kansas City University investigated the anatomical characteristics of the anterolateral ligament (ALL), which has greatly helped develop our reconstruction techniques. Contact...
Surgical Management of Recurrent Musculotendinous Hamstring Injury in Professional Athletes
Surgical Management of Recurrent Musculotendinous Hamstring Injury in Professional AthletesWhile hamstring strains often improve with non-operative treatment, this subset of injuries can recur and presents a clinical challenge. For athletes suffering with this injury,...
Comparison of glenoid inclination angle using different clinical imaging modalities
Comparison of glenoid inclination angle using different clinical imaging modalities This article investigated the best way to measure the inclination angle of the socket of the shoulder (glenoid), which can improve our results for shoulder replacements and also lead...
Correlation between glenoid inclination and critical shoulder angle: a radiograph and computed tomography study.
Correlation between glenoid inclination and critical shoulder angle: a radiograph and computed tomography study.For years it has been proposed that rotator cuff tears are often caused by a phenomenon known as “impingement syndrome.” We believe there are other...
Evaluation of lengthening in reverse shoulder arthroplasty comparing X-rays and computerised tomography
Evaluation of lengthening in reverse shoulder arthroplasty comparing X-rays and computerised tomographyReverse shoulder replacement has become a very successful treatment option for patients suffering from rotator cuff tear arthritis among other treatments. After the...
Anatomic Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Leads to Overconstraint at Any Fixation Angle: Letter to the Editor
Anatomic Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Leads to Overconstraint at Any Fixation Angle: Letter to the EditorIn this article we debate the impact the ALL has on over-constraint of the knee. We do not feel this occurs when the reconstruction is done...
Reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon rupture with contralateral bone-tendon-bone autograft.
Reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon rupture with contralateral bone-tendon-bone autograft.In this article, we demonstrated a novel way to approach a devastation injury patella tendon using a portion of the opposite extremities patella tendon.Contact Our Care...
Intercondylar notch dysplasia in open-physis anterior cruciate ligament injuries: A case-control study
Intercondylar notch dysplasia in open-physis anterior cruciate ligament injuries: A case-control studyThere are many risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament tears. Within this article, we confirm that the presence of narrowing of the intercondylar notch can lead...
Outcomes After Combined ACL and ALL Reconstruction: Response
Outcomes After Combined ACL and ALL Reconstruction: ResponseThere was much excitement and debate after the initial publication of the combined ACL and ALL reconstruction results. This article provides a response to some of the questions surrounding the clinical...
