Ultrasound-Guided Posteromedial Semitendinosus Tendon Harvest.

ABSTRACT: Hamstring tendon autografts have emerged as the graft of choice by over 50% of sports surgeons worldwide performing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A more recent technique in harvesting the semitendinosus tendon, the posteromedial approach, afforded multiple benefits compared with the anteromedial approach. However, for the inexperienced surgeon, the current techniques may not be as simple because of decreased tendon tension after general anesthesia induction and subcutaneous layer dissection, making it difficult to palpate the semitendinosus tendon. By utilizing ultrasound to assist us during our harvest, we can perform the procedure with increased accuracy and efficiency, which leads to a safer, more proficient, and less invasive procedure.

Endoscopic Harvest of Autogenous Gracilis and Semitendinosus Tendons.

Project description:The hamstring autograft is one of the most popular grafts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Although many techniques for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring autografts have been invented, hamstring harvest techniques have not been focused. Hamstrings are harvested using an open technique that requires a 2- to 5-cm skin incision. In this Technical Note, we describe an endoscopic harvest technique of autogenous gracilis and semitendinosus tendon. This technique needs only a 1- to 1.5-cm skin incision and provides surgeons a sufficient view to safely harvest the hamstrings.

Patellar Tendon Repair With Ipsilateral Semitendinosus Autograft Augmentation.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are rare but potentially devastating injuries. Acute repair after patellar tendon rupture affords the best opportunity for tension-free restoration of the extensor mechanism. Biological augmentation of primary repair is believed to decrease strain across the repair site and reduce the risk of rerupture. We present a technique for primary patellar tendon repair with bidirectional fixation using transosseous tunnels, suture anchor fixation, and ipsilateral hamstring autograft augmentation in a distal patellar pole socket.

Open Repair of Quadriceps Tendon With Suture Anchors and Semitendinosus Tendon Allograft Augmentation.

Project description:Quadriceps tendinopathy in an increasingly recognized diagnosis can lead to quadriceps tendon rupture, especially in the older population. It can be caused by repeated micro trauma or also predisposed by systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and connective tissue disorders that can in turn lead to extensor mechanism deficits. Although a trial of conservative treatment is advocated, operative treatment should be performed in cases of persistent pain, extension deficit, or complete rupture of the tendon. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail a procedure for open repair of a quadriceps tendon, with significant degeneration due to quadriceps tendinopathy, using suture anchors and semitendinosus tendon allograft augmentation.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction With Doubled Autologous Semitendinosus Tendon Graft.

Project description:Massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears remain a difficult condition to treat. Fatty infiltration of the muscles and excessive retraction of the tendons predispose to high failure rates of arthroscopic repair techniques. In recent years, studies on the superior capsule have shown that it plays a key role in reducing superior humeral head translation and restoring balance to the force couples required for dynamic shoulder function. Superior capsule reconstruction has become common in clinical practice. Several techniques with different types of grafts have been described, such as fascia lata autograft, dermal allograft patch, and long head of the biceps tendon autograft. More recently, an open technique with semitendinosus tendon autograft has been proposed. Our aim is to describe an all-arthroscopic technique for superior capsule reconstruction using a doubled semitendinosus tendon autograft in a box-shaped configuration. We believe that the technique can combine the advantages of other techniques, such as graft availability, low harvest-site morbidity, limited cost, and mechanical strength.

Minimally Invasive Anterior Semitendinosus Harvest: A Technique to Decrease Saphenous Nerve Injury.

Project description:Hamstring tendon harvest, especially semitendinosus harvest, has been widely used in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction for many years. However, donor site morbidity has been described regarding the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve. Minimally invasive anterior semitendinosus harvest is a simple, safe, reproducible, and elegant technique. A 2-cm vertical incision above the pes anserinus is performed 2 cm medial to the tibial anterior tubercle. The fascia superficialis is opened with a horizontal incision, and the gracilis is isolated using a retractor. The semitendinosus is grabbed with a probe, and the vincula are hooked one by one. The tendon is harvested with a closed stripper. The expansions are cut, and the tendon is detached from the bone with part of the periosteum.

Mini-Invasive, Ultrasound Guided Repair of the Achilles Tendon Rupture-A Pilot Study.

Project description:Percutaneous acute Achilles tendon rupture suturing has become a leading treatment option in recent years. A common complication after this mini-invasive procedure is sural nerve injury, which can reduce the patients' satisfaction and final outcomes. High-resolution ultrasound is a reliable method for localizing the sural nerve, and it can be performed intra-operatively; however, the long-term results are yet unknown. The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate the long-term results of percutaneous Achilles tendon repair supported with real-time ultrasound imaging. We conducted 57 percutaneous sutures of acute Achilles tendon rupture between 2005 and 2015; 30 were sutured under sonographic guidance, while 27 were performed without sonographic assistance. The inclusion criteria were acute (less than 7 days) full tendon rupture, treatment with the percutaneous technique, age between 18 and 65 years, and a body mass index (BMI) below 35. The operative procedure was carried out by two surgeons, according to the surgical technique reported by Maffulli et al. In total, 35 patients were available for this retrospective assessment; 20 (16 men and 4 women) were treated with sonographic guidance, while 15 (12 men and 3 women) underwent the procedure without it. The mean follow-up was 8 years (range, 3-13 years). The sural nerve was localized 10 mm to 20 mm (mean, 15.8; SD, 3.02) laterally from the scar of the Achilles tendon tear. There was no significant difference between groups with respect to the FAOQ score (P < 0.05). High-resolution ultrasounds performed intra-operatively can minimize the risk of sural nerve injury during percutaneous Achilles tendon repair.

Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus Tendon With Bone Fragment.

Project description:After anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the tibial tunnel becomes widened over time. A revision surgery of the ACL reconstruction is required to fill the widened tunnels. Bone-patellar tendon-bone grafts often are used to fill enlarged bone tunnels. However, due to the variation in tendon length, it is often difficult to adjust the position of the bone fragment to the enlarged part of the bone tunnel. This study describes an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction technique using the semitendinosus tendon as well as a bone fragment which is placed in the enlarged tibial tunnel. The tendon and cortical bone were collected together at the tendon attachment using a flat chisel. The bone fragment was inserted through the tendon in a controlled manner and ultimately placed at the posterior wall of the tibial foramen. This technique was determined to be less invasive than using bone-patellar tendon-bone in a 2-stage revision ACL reconstruction. In addition, this technique can be easily performed by any surgeon who is accustomed to conventional ACL reconstruction using the semitendinosus tendon and does not require any special equipment. Our findings suggest that this technique may be useful for revision ACL reconstruction.

Augmentation of Patellar Tendon Repair With Autologous Semitendinosus Graft-Porto Technique.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures can lead to significant functional deficiency of the extensor mechanism of the knee. These injuries, because of their inherent nature and associated complications, may require a complex treatment and remains a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Current surgical techniques present significant complications, including patellar fracture, damage to patellar articular cartilage, and abnormal patella height. This note describes a surgical technique to provide an additional reinforcement to the patellar tendon repair with a semitendinous autograft, without the necessity to perform any transosseous tunnels at the patella bone. First, the patellar tendon is repaired with an end-to-end technique and the semitendinous tendon is harvested. A transosseous tunnel at the tibial tubercle is drilled and 2 rents are made, both medial and lateral to the retinaculum at the level of the intermedial segment of the patella close to the patellar margin. The graft is passed through the tunnel and rents in a U-shaped form. The graft is sutured along the length of the patellar tendon on both margins in tension at 30° of knee flexion. Fluoroscopy imaging is performed to assess the patella height. This technique provides a significant augmentation of patellar tendon, avoiding the potential patella bone tunnel complications.

Percutaneous Lengthening of a Regenerated Semitendinosus Tendon for Medial Hamstring Snapping.

Project description:In this surgical technique article, the authors describe a percutaneous tendon lengthening technique for surgical treatment of a regenerated semitendinosus tendon in snapping syndrome. Snapping syndromes are caused by 2 adjacent anatomic structures having a frictional catching, which may be associated with an audible pop. At the knee, they may have an intra- or extra-articular origin. It is imperative to understand the etiology of the snapping phenomenon to avoid unnecessary surgery.

Dynamic Ultrasound Examination for Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon Rupture after Palpation-Guided Corticosteroid Injection.

Project description:This report aimed to present a case of wrist-tendon rupture and to discuss a rare complication after corticosteroid injection. A 67-year-old woman had difficulty extending her left-thumb interphalangeal joint several weeks after a palpation-guided local corticosteroid injection. Passive motions remained intact without sensory abnormalities. Ultrasound examination showed hyperechoic tissues at the site of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon at the wrist level and an atrophic EPL muscle stump at the forearm level. Dynamic imaging demonstrated no motion in the EPL muscle during passive thumb flexion/extension. The diagnosis of complete EPL rupture, possibly due to inadvertent intratendinous corticosteroid injection, was therefore confirmed.
