Improved visualization of the 70° arthroscope in the treatment of talar osteochondral defects.

ABSTRACT: Osteochondral defects (OCDs) of the talus are a common cause of residual pain after ankle injuries. When conservative treatment fails, arthroscopic debridement combined with drilling/microfracturing of the lesion (bone marrow stimulation [BMS] procedures) has been shown to provide good to excellent outcomes. Not uncommonly, talar OCDs involve the borders of the talar dome. These uncontained lesions are sometimes difficult to visualize with the 30° arthroscope, with potential negative effect on the clinical outcome of an arthroscopic BMS procedure. The use of the 70° arthroscope has been described for a multitude of common knee, shoulder, elbow, and hip procedures. The purpose of this article is to show the usefulness of the 70° arthroscope in arthroscopic BMS procedures, pointing out which kinds of talar OCDs can benefit most from its use.

Use of a Superolateral Portal and 70° Arthroscope to Optimize Visualization of Patellofemoral Tracking and Osteochondral Lesions in Patients With Recurrent Patellar Instability.

Project description:Surgical treatment of patellofemoral instability and associated cartilaginous lesions can be technically challenging. Visualization of patellar tracking and underlying osteochondral lesions is paramount to operative success. To treat these conditions effectively, a comprehensive arthroscopic assessment of the patellofemoral joint as well as dynamic visualization of patella tracking must be achieved. Visualization of the patellofemoral joint-in particular, the articular cartilage of the patella and trochlea morphology-can be difficult when using traditional anteromedial or anterolateral portals and a 30° arthroscope lens. The technique described here uses an accessory superolateral portal and a 70° arthroscope to achieve significantly improved visualization of the patellofemoral articulation, in particular the chondral surfaces. This vantage point aids the surgeon in effectively evaluating patellar tracking, trochlea morphology, and importantly, osteochondral lesion location to help guide treatment algorithms in the patellofemoral joint.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Patellar Tendinopathy: Use of 70° Arthroscope and Superolateral Portal.

Project description:Surgical treatment of recalcitrant patellar tendinopathy includes both the open surgical approach and minimally invasive arthroscopic debridement. A variety of arthroscopic techniques have been described that involve the use of a standard 30° arthroscope and standard anterolateral and anteromedial portals. As a result, visualization of the infrapatellar region can be variable, and it may be necessary to create additional portals. A 70° arthroscope provides the advantage of a wider field of view to the surgeon. By placing a 70° arthroscope through a superolaterally created portal around the knee joint, the surgeon acquires a complete view of the infrapatellar region and patellar tendon. Thus, debridement of the pathologic area can be accomplished just by the use of an additional working portal, typically the anterolateral one. This technical note describes a technique that involves the use of a 70° arthroscope for the treatment of patellar tendinopathy.

Arthroscopic Debridement and Microfracture of Osteochondral Lesion of the Talar Head.

Project description:Osteochondral lesions of the talar head can be classified into 4 types according to their location. A type 1 lesion is located at the anterior part of the talar head. Surgical debridement and microfracture are indicated for symptomatic type 1 lesions if conservative treatment fails to relieve the pain. The purpose of this technical note was to describe the details of arthroscopic debridement and microfracture of the symptomatic type 1 osteochondral lesion of the talar head and the kissing lesion at the navicular bone. The procedure is performed through the standard portals of talonavicular arthroscopy and has the advantages of minimally invasive surgery of better cosmetic results and less surgical trauma.

Retrograde Drilling With Tibial Autograft in Osteochondral Lesions of the Talar Dome.

Project description:Osteochondral lesions that compromise the ankle are rare, with an incidence between 0.02% and 1.5% according to different series. This location is the third in frequency, after knee and elbow. The location of the osteochondral lesion allows one to infer the producing mechanism. Lateral defects are produced by inversion and dorsiflexion of the ankle (usually anterior, affecting 3 and 6 talar zones), whereas medial defects are produced by plantar flexion, inversion, and internal rotation (most commonly posterior, affecting 4 and 7 talar zones). The injury causes pain associated with weight load, impaired function, limited range of motion, stiffness, blockage, and edema. Early diagnosis of an osteochondral lesion is particularly important because the lack of diagnosis can lead to the evolution of a small and stable lesion in a larger lesion or an unstable fragment, which can result in chronic pain, instability of the joint, and premature osteoarthritis. Multiple therapeutic strategies have been described, including conservative and surgical treatment. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe arthroscopic-assisted retrograde drilling with tibial autograft procedure for osteochondral lesions of the talar dome.

Osteochondral Autograft Transfer for Capitellar Chondral and Osteochondral Defects.

Project description:Chondral and osteochondral lesions of the humeral capitellum, most notably osteochondritis dissecans, most commonly present in adolescent baseball players and gymnasts. A variety of surgical techniques can be used to address these lesions. Osteochondral autograft transfer has recently shown superior rates of return to sport. We describe osteochondral autograft transfer from the contralateral knee to treat a large full-thickness chondral lesion of the humeral capitellum. Osteochondral allograft backfill of the donor site is shown as well. This surgical procedure is technically demanding but very reproducible and maximizes return to play in patients while minimizing donor-site morbidity.

High-Density Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation as Treatment for Ankle Osteochondral Defects.

Project description:PurposeTwo-year follow-up to assess efficacy and safety of high-density autologous chondrocyte implantation (HD-ACI) in patients with cartilage lesions in the ankle.DesignTwenty-four consecutive patients with International Cartilage repair Society (ICRS) grade 3-4 cartilage lesions of the ankle were included. Five million chondrocytes per cm2 of lesion were implanted using a type I/III collagen membrane as a carrier and treatment effectiveness was assessed by evaluating pain with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score at baseline, 12-month, and 24-month follow-up, together with dorsal and plantar flexion. Magnetic resonance observation for cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score was used to evaluate cartilage healing. Histological study was possible in 5 cases.ResultsPatients' median age was 31 years (range 18-55 years). Median VAS score was 8 (range 5-10) at baseline, 1.5 (range 0-8) at 12-month follow-up, and 2 (rang e0-5) at 24-month follow-up (P < 0.001). Median AOFAS score was 39.5 (range 29-48) at baseline, 90 (range 38-100) at 12-month follow-up, and 90 (range 40-100) at 24-month follow-up (P < 0.001). Complete dorsal flexion significantly increased at 12 months (16/24, 66.7%) and 24 months (17/24, 70.8%) with regard to baseline (13/24, 54.2%) (P = 0.002). MOCART at 12- and 24-month follow-ups were 73.71 ± 15.99 and 72.33 ± 16.21. Histological study confirmed that neosynthetized tissue was cartilage with hyaline extracellular matrix and numerous viable chondrocytes.ConclusionHD-ACI is a safe and effective technique to treat osteochondral lesions in the talus, providing good clinical and histological results at short- and mid-term follow-ups.

Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a flexible reamer system and 70° arthroscope.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction techniques continue to evolve as surgeons seek to improve surgical process and outcome measures. On the basis of published data showing improved biomechanics, many surgeons now attempt to better re-create native ACL anatomy in reconstruction. Use of flexible reamer technology and a 70° arthroscope allows for excellent visualization of the native ACL anatomy, as well as precise and independent drilling of the tibial and femoral reconstruction tunnels, while offering several surgical and technical advantages compared with other drilling techniques. This technical note with accompanying video describes our use of the Smith & Nephew Clancy anatomic cruciate guide/flexible drill system (Smith & Nephew, London, England) with a 70° arthroscope.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate and Microfracture Technique for Talar Osteochondral Lesions of the Ankle.

Project description:Osteochondral lesions of the talus refer to a chondral or subchondral defect of the articular cartilage and potentially the underlying bone. Ankle sprains are an extremely common injury; approximately 27,000 ankle sprains occur per day in America. Fifty percent of these can lead to a cartilage injury to the ankle. There has been a high quoted rate of failure with conservative measures of up to 45% in some series. Surgical options are largely broken down into 2 groups, namely, reparative or regenerative treatments. The reparative techniques include debridement and bone marrow stimulation techniques such as microdrilling and microfracture. Regenerative techniques include autologous osteochondral transplants. However, there are disadvantages in terms of donor site morbidity and the development of subchondral bone cysts over time. The aim of this video is to demonstrate a technique for microfracture and augmentation with bone marrow aspirate concentration and Tisseel fibrin glue. This video details the indications for performing microfracture, the indications for using bone marrow stimulation techniques, and the contraindications. Patient positioning, setup, preparation of the lesion, harvesting of the bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and application of the bone marrow aspirate are detailed.

Fresh Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects of the Knee.

Project description:Articular cartilage damage of the knee can cause severe morbidity. Owing to its avascular nature, articular cartilage has limited potential for self-healing and increased propensity to progress to osteoarthritis. Treatment of large, full-thickness cartilage defects is still a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons but has recently achieved high success rates with the use of osteochondral allografts. This article details our technique of osteochondral allograft transplantation for the treatment of articular cartilage defects of the knee.
