Arthroscopic repair of the floating posterior-inferior glenohumeral ligament lesion.

ABSTRACT: We present our technique for diagnosis and arthroscopic repair of a floating posterior-inferior glenohumeral ligament avulsion injury. A high degree of suspicion based on the patient's history, along with careful examination, should alert the surgeon to the existence of this lesion. By use of an anterolateral viewing portal and precisely placed posterior working portals, the lesion is repaired through suture anchor fixation to the humeral head and glenoid rim in a carefully sequenced fashion to achieve appropriate tension and restore the anatomy.

Arthroscopic Management of Posterior Instability due to "Floating" Posterior Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament Lesions.

Project description:The "floating" posterior inferior glenohumeral ligament (floating PIGHL) is an uncommon cause of posterior shoulder instability. This pathologic lesion, defined as detachment of both the origin of the PIGHL (posterior Bankart lesion) and insertion of the of the PIGHL from its humeral head insertion site, often results in significant and persistent shoulder instability symptoms. An effective surgical technique for arthroscopic repair of a floating PIGHL lesion is described and demonstrated.

Arthroscopic Repair of Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament Lesion.

Project description:Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) is a lesion associated with anterior shoulder instability. Although uncommon, HAGL lesions are a significant contributor to shoulder pain and dysfunction and, if missed, can even be a cause of failed Bankart repair. HAGL lesions should generally be repaired surgically; however, given their low prevalence, there is no consensus on the optimal surgical approach. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred surgical technique for the fixation of an HAGL lesion using an all-arthroscopic approach and a knotless suture anchor construct.

Concomitant Reverse Hill-Sachs Lesion and Posterior Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament: Treatment With Fresh Talus Osteochondral Allograft and Arthroscopic Posterior Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament and Labrum Repair.

Project description:Chronic posterior glenohumeral joint instability can be a challenging clinical entity for patients and surgeons alike. In the setting of a posterior dislocation, a large anterior humeral impaction injury (reverse Hill-Sachs [HS]) may occur, leading to engagement of the humerus with the posterior glenoid bone, especially during internal rotation of the joint. A reverse HS is especially debilitating because of the significant portion of affected humeral head cartilage, and is made worse in the setting of ligamentous disruption such as a posterior humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesions. Although several nonanatomic procedures to address these defects have been previously described, recent interest in anatomic reconstructions capable of restoring the cartilage surface of the humeral head has led to the use of bone grafts (autografts and allografts) to restore the articular contour of the humeral head in conjunction with anatomic repair of associated soft tissue injuries. We present our preferred technique for an anatomic repair of a posterior HAGL lesion in combination with reconstruction of an engaging reverse HS lesion using an unmatched hemitalar allograft.

Mini-open Repair of the Floating Anterior Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament: Combined Treatment of Bankart and Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament Lesions.

Project description:Anterior shoulder instability often results from avulsion of the anterior inferior glenohumeral ligament (aIGHL) off its insertion on the glenoid, yielding a Bankart lesion. Although less common, avulsion of the ligament attachment to the humerus results in a humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesion. Combined Bankart and HAGL lesions, also termed the "floating aIGHL," create a complex pathology that is not detailed significantly in the literature. We believe a mini-open approach is a viable and reproducible procedure for treatment because it allows for protection of the axillary nerve and other neurovascular structures while providing optimal exposure to both the humeral insertion site of the distal aIGHL and the Bankart lesion, ensuring anatomic restoration. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique to surgically treat the floating aIGHL, consisting of an anterior HAGL and concomitant Bankart lesion repair through a mini-open approach.

Arthroscopic repair of a posterior bony humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament with associated teres minor avulsion.

Project description:Humeral avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) has recently gained more recognition as a cause of shoulder instability. Posterior HAGL lesions, being much more infrequent than anterior disruptions, have only recently been documented as a notable cause of posterior instability. We detail the treatment of a previously unreported case of a posterior HAGL variant lesion consisting of a bony avulsion with involvement of the teres minor tendon. Arthroscopic fixation was facilitated by use of a "sheathless" arthroscopic approach with a 70° arthroscope and suture anchor.

Arthroscopic Repair of a Glenoid Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament.

Project description:Injury to the glenohumeral capsulolabral complex is the critical lesion in anterior shoulder instability. Various injury patterns have been described including the classic Bankart lesion, the bony Bankart lesion, and humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament. A rare injury variant is a glenoid avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (GAGL lesion). Careful patient setup and surgical technique are required to identify and arthroscopically repair these lesions. We describe a suture anchor-based arthroscopic GAGL repair performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position through standard anterior and posterior portals and an accessory posterolateral 7-o'clock portal.

Arthroscopic Repair of Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament Lesion With Capsular Plication in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesions can lead to persistent shoulder instability. While rare, HAGL lesions may present as a concomitant injury following shoulder dislocation events. Traditionally, an open approach has been used to repair the inferior glenohumeral ligament and restore shoulder stability. Modern arthroscopic techniques and instrumentation have permitted a minimally invasive approach for treating HAGL lesions. While technically demanding, arthroscopic repair of HAGL lesions has demonstrated favorable outcomes with less soft-tissue disruption. The following Technical Note describes a safe and effective method for the arthroscopic repair of HAGL lesions. Our technique highlights the use of the lateral decubitus position, a 70° arthroscope, a curved anchor device, and a 90° SutureLasso device.

All-Arthroscopic, 270° Reconstruction of the Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament With Palmaris Longus Autograft.

Project description:Numerous factors play a role in anterior shoulder stability. The inferior glenohumeral ligament, especially the anterior band, is the main passive anterior stabilizer in the end range of motion. Surgical treatment of this pathology continues to be a challenge in patients with capsular deficiency, in whom the recurrence rate of soft-tissue arthroscopic repair increases significantly. There is not yet a fair solution for these patients without glenoid bone loss, in whom the poor tissue quality determines recurrent instability. We present an all-arthroscopic technique for reconstruction of the inferior glenohumeral ligament by means of palmaris longus autograft as an alternative to nonanatomic bone block procedures.

Arthroscopic repair of "peel-off" lesion of the posterior cruciate ligament at the femoral condyle.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are uncommon, and most occur in association with other lesions. The treatment of PCL injuries remains controversial; in addition, PCL injuries have been documented to have a propensity to heal. In the literature several different patterns of PCL injury have been described including midsubstance tears/injuries, tibial bony avulsions, femoral bony avulsions, and femoral "peel-off" injuries. A peel-off injury is a complete or incomplete soft-tissue disruption of the PCL at its femoral attachment site without associated bony avulsion. In recent years arthroscopic repair of femoral avulsion and peel-off lesions of the PCL has been reported. In most of these articles, a transosseous repair with sutures passed through 2 bone tunnels into the medial femoral condyle has been described. We present a case of a femoral PCL avulsion in a 20-year-old collegiate football player with an associated medial collateral ligament injury, and we report about a novel technique for PCL repair using 2 No. 2 FiberWire sutures and two 2.9-mm PushLock anchors (Arthrex) to secure tensioning the ligament at its footprint.

Arthroscopic Repair of a Posterior Bony Bankart Lesion.

Project description:Posterior bony defects of the glenoid rim, particularly those associated with instability, are often a frustrating challenge for arthroscopists because of the defects' inaccessibility from standard portals. This challenge is enhanced when the lesion is chronic and fibrous malunion of the fragment makes mobilization difficult. We present our technique for arthroscopic repair of the relatively uncommon chronic posterior bony Bankart lesion. By use of lateral positioning and a standard anterior viewing portal and posterior working portal, as well as a strategically placed posterolateral accessory portal, the lesion is first freed from its malreduced position and ultimately repaired using suture anchor fixation of the bony fragment along with its associated labrum directly to the remaining glenoid rim. This technique, facilitated by precise portal placement, results in satisfactory fragment reduction, appropriate capsular tension, and restoration of anatomy.
