Project description:Recurrent anterior shoulder instability with significant bone loss represents a surgical challenge. Anterior bone block procedures including variations of the Latarjet coracoid transfer have been used in this setting. Bone graft resorption with prominence of the metalwork is a serious concern, whereas the relative contribution of the dynamic sling effect of a Latarjet procedure is still controversial. We describe an arthroscopic technique for anatomic reconstruction of anterior glenoid bone defects using autologous iliac crest graft. This technique allows accurate placement of the bone block; fixation with 2 knotless TightRope devices (Arthrex, Naples, FL), avoiding the use of screws; and a final labral repair.

Project description:This report describes superficial medial collateral ligament reconstruction of the knee using a novel method of graft fixation with the ACL Tightrope RT (Arthrex, Naples, FL). After tibial fixation with either a standard interference screw or staple, femoral fixation of the semitendinosus tendon is performed with the adjustable-loop suspensory fixation device, which allows for both initial graft tensioning and re-tensioning after cyclical knee range of motion. This provides the ability for the graft to accommodate for resultant soft-tissue creep and stress relaxation, thereby allowing for optimal soft-tissue tension and reduction in laxity at the end of the procedure.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are an unfortunate and devastating injury in the athletic patient. Surgical reconstruction of the ACL with a taut graft construct is necessary to restore knee stability and help expedite the patient's return to an active lifestyle. Arthroscopy-assisted ACL reconstruction can be a technically involved procedure, where strong fixation limits graft motion to allow sufficient healing within the tibial and femoral tunnels at the bone-tendon interfaces. Loss of tension in a graft can cause symptomatic anterior or rotatory instability and potential retear of the ACL graft. We describe in this Technical Note and accompanying video a simple and effective technique to implant and retension a tendon graft during ACL reconstruction using a suspensory fixation device. The technical description uses a simple adjustable-loop device to provide strong cortical fixation, along with the unique ability to retension the graft in ACL reconstruction, not otherwise possible with previously described graft fixation techniques.

Project description:The original description of the LaPrade technique for anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction addresses the 3 main stabilizing structures: the fibular collateral ligament, the popliteus, and the popliteofibular ligament. The use of two separate grafts (originally described with a tendo-Achilles allograft) may restrict the utility of the technique when sources of allograft may be limited and autografts must be used, particularly in the context of multiligament reconstruction. We present a modification of the technique, in which an adjustable cortical button is used for tibial fixation, which allows for the use of a single graft while maintaining the ability to independently tension the popliteus, popliteofibular ligament, and fibular collateral ligament limbs of the graft.

Project description:The purpose of this technique paper is to outline a minimally invasive technique using dual suspensory fixation with adjustable-loop devices for reconstruction of the superficial medial collateral ligament. The femoral fixation is performed through a limited approach at the anatomic origin of the medial collateral ligament, a socket is prepared, and the graft is docked using the adjustable-loop suspensory fixation. The tibial socket is prepared through a separate incision just distal to the pes anserine tendons and drilled medially to laterally perpendicular to the tibial shaft. The graft is tunneled and docked into the tibial tunnel using adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation on the far cortex. The knee is cycled through a full arc of motion and stressed in valgus to take initial creep out of the construct. The knee is placed in 30° of flexion and slight varus and final tension is applied to both the femoral and tibial side. With this technique, fixation can be completed with a minimally invasive incision and it allows the ability to tension the graft both on the femoral and tibial side to the desired level, providing a significant advantage over previously used interference screw techniques.

Project description:Various surgical management techniques have been introduced to treat anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. There is disagreement among orthopedic surgeons about which fixation device to use during arthroscopy. Recently, there has been an increase in the use of arthroscopic techniques for fixation, and different devices such as sutures, screws, and fiber wires are being considered. The development of fiber wires has made it possible to use them in comminuted avulsions with satisfactory stability, whereas screws cannot be used in such cases. Sutures do not provide adequate stability for early range of motion compared to other methods. The article then goes on to describe a specific arthroscopic fixation technique that uses an adjustable loop cortical button to manage the avulsed fragment and provide stability.

Project description:A displaced avulsion fracture at the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament is considered an indication for surgical reduction and internal fixation because nonunion and remaining posterior instability of the knee are common consequences of conservative treatment. The problems with standard open surgical techniques are that they are relatively invasive despite the limited operative field and it is impossible to explore intra-articular lesions by the posterior approach. An arthroscopic procedure has the advantage of being minimally invasive and allowing the surgeon to detect and treat associated intra-articular injuries. We present an arthroscopic reduction-internal fixation technique using an adjustable-length loop device. A trans-septal portal is created to visualize the fracture fragment directly, and the fragment is reduced and penetrated with a cannulated drill under fluoroscopic guidance. An adjustable-length loop device is relayed from the posteromedial portal and pulled out through the fragment in an anterograde fashion, placing a button on top of the fragment. By tightening the loop, downward compression can be applied to the fragment. Overall, this technique provides good reduction and bone union, and excellent clinical outcomes, including posterior knee stability, can be achieved.

Project description:Injury to the superficial medial collateral ligament (MCL) is treated conservatively for low-grade injury and with surgery for high-grade injury, especially in association with cruciate ligament injury. Acute injuries are treated with MCL repair, and chronic injury requires reconstruction. Anatomic MCL reconstruction can be done using free allograft or autograft and fixed using screws or suspensory fixation. We describe here an anatomic technique that is a modification of a Danish technique in which we reroute the semitendinosus, keeping its tibial attachment intact. The semitendinosus is rerouted anatomically in the tibial tunnel, and a graft is then passed anatomically in the femoral tunnel. The graft is fixed in both tunnels with adjustable loop suspensory fixation, which gives the unique advantage of controlled tensioning of the graft for MCL reconstruction. In this technique further re-tensioning is possible if the knee is unstable in valgus stress, even after final fixation.

Project description:Despite the numerous techniques described regarding isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, many authors have reported that residual knee rotational instability is not always eliminated. The combination of lateral extra-articular knee tenodesis and ACL reconstruction is an alternative surgical approach with very promising clinical results. The purpose of this article is to describe a reliable and reproducible technique of combined ACL reconstruction and lateral extra-articular knee tenodesis using a continuous looped hamstring tendon autograft. A 4-strand graft inside the joint and a 2-strand graft for the tenodesis are attached to 2 adjustable-loop button suspensory fixation devices.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture injuries have been associated with an increased risk of meniscal tears and premature patellofemoral/medial compartment osteoarthritis. Sports-related trauma is a common cause of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. Surgical management is recommended for displaced bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament to stabilize the knee and prevent knee pain, nonunion, and osteoarthritis progression. This article discusses our preferred treatment using a loop suspensory fixation device through a dual posteromedial portal technique.
