Semitendinosus Tendon Transfer Associated With Distal Alignment for Patella Alta in a Patient With Recurrent Dislocations.

ABSTRACT: Patellofemoral instability is characterized by pain during normal daily activities and frequent dislocation events. In the reported case, an adolescent girl, aged 15 years, affected by left patellofemoral instability, underwent surgery with a double technique comprising tibial tubercle distalization and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. In case of patella alta associated with patellofemoral instability, surgical treatment should focus on medial patellofemoral ligament repair and on recurrent instability prevention.

Patellar Tendon Imbrication for Patella Alta.

Project description:Patella alta is a significant contributor to patellar instability. Historically, distalizing tibial tubercle osteotomy has been recommended for this problem; however, complications such as nonunion, fracture and hardware irritation are concerning. Additionally, the procedure cannot be performed on skeletally immature patients without violation of the proximal tibial physis. The authors describe a technique of patellar tendon imbrication that does not involve hardware or osteotomy. This technique allows for reliable correction of patella alta and provides patellar stability without the complications associated with osteotomy.

Technique for Fixation of Semitendinosus to the Patella in Patellar Tendon Reconstruction.

Project description:Chronic patellar tendon injuries are rare yet challenging to treat. Timing of surgery and graft choices are debatable. Many techniques and methods of fixation have been described with pros and cons. Functional impairment of the extensor mechanism and postoperative complications triggers the quest for finding the ideal technique. In this Technical Note, we use distally based semitendinosus (ST) looped over 2 ETHIBOND sutures. The ETHIBOND is passed through 2 vertical tunnels in the patella and retrieved proximally, docking the ST in a blind tunnel created in the lower pole of the patella. The whip-stitched free ST end is passed through a tunnel behind the tibial tubercle and sutured back to its base. A polyester tape is used to augment the repair in a circumferential manner. Postoperatively full weight bearing is allowed as tolerated in a hinged knee brace locked in extension with only passive range of motion of 0-90° allowed for 6 weeks.

Patellar Tendon Shortening for Treatment of Patella Alta in Skeletally Immature Patients With Patellar Instability.

Project description:Aberrant anatomy, such as patella alta, can be a risk factor for recurrent patellar instability or inferior clinical outcomes after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. In patients with significant patella alta (Caton Deschamps Index >1.2), tibial tubercle distalization may be considered to improve outcomes. However, despite patellar instability commonly affecting pediatric patients, a distalization osteotomy is not feasible in this patient population due to the presence of open physes. Our article presents a technique describing an alternative soft-tissue distalization approach whereby patellar height is decreased by shortening the patellar tendon.

Modified Elmslie-Trillat Procedure for Distal Realignment of Patella Tendon.

Project description:Patellofemoral dysfunction, due to either a patellofemoral malalignment or patellar instability, is a complex and debilitating condition that significantly decreases the knee function. Conservative management may yield significant clinical outcomes; however, when morphologic anomalies are identified, the surgical approach should be employed. Hence, several surgical procedures have been described in the scientific literature aiming the correction of underlying extensor mechanism malalignments. Still, the rate of complications is higher than desirable. The described technique is based on the principles of transferring the tibial tubercle medially as described in the Elmslie-Trillat technique. However, a curvilinear horizontal cut is made prior to the vertical cut, which raises a thick osseous fragment and allows the formation of a gutter when the osseous fragment is moved medially. Whereas the horizontal gutter provides stability to the bone fragment, the thicker dimension of the osseous fragment and retention of the distal attachment significantly enhances the osteotomy union. Hence, adequate pain relief and stability with very low postoperative morbidity could be achieved. The purpose of this surgical note is to describe a modification to the Elmslie-Trillat technique to treat patellofemoral dysfunctions, achieving a higher osseous stability and decreased postoperative morbidity.

Tendon Excision Following Distal Semitendinosus Injury in the Elite Athlete: A Surgical Technique.

Project description:BackgroundHamstring injuries can present in numerous forms, some of which can lead to persistent pain, loss of function, and delay in return to sport. Although most are treated conservatively, proximal and distal tendon avulsion injuries have become more commonly treated with surgery. Distal semitendinosus avulsion injuries have been largely reported in the elite athlete population. While conservative management has been utilized, failure in this group can significantly impact a future career.PurposeThe purpose of the manuscript is to describe our approach of surgical tendon excision for distal semitendinosus injury in an elite athlete.MethodsWe highlight a two-incision technique to isolate the avulsed tendon, followed by exteriorization and tendon excision. In addition, we provide insight on clinical and imaging findings to help guide management.ResultsThis technique provides a reliable and effective surgical option for managing these rare injuries of the distal semitendinosus, along with outlining rehabilitation goals in the postoperative period.ConclusionIn this setting, we present a detailed surgical technique to excise the injured distal semitendinosus tendon to promote recovery and potentially allow for earlier return to play.

Recurrent Superior Oblique Myokymia Treated by Distal Tendon Extirpation.

Project description:BackgroundWe describe successful surgical treatment of superior oblique myokymia, which had recurred after superior oblique tenectomy.MethodsSingle case report.ResultsThe distal stump of the superior oblique tendon was extirpated by stripping it from the globe. The ipsilateral superior rectus muscle also was recessed, to correct a hypertropia that had resulted from the original superior oblique tenectomy.ConclusionsComplete removal of the distal superior oblique muscle tendon provided definitive relief of superior oblique myokymia. Superior rectus muscle recession, combined with previous inferior oblique myectomy, compensated effectively for loss of superior oblique function.

Ultrasound-Guided Posteromedial Semitendinosus Tendon Harvest.

Project description: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.

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with a looped semitendinosus tendon, using knotless anchor fixation on the patella and hybrid fixation on the femur.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a reliable surgical method for stabilizing a dislocating patella, with multiple techniques previously described. Although outcomes are generally favorable, the procedure is technically demanding and relies on precise identification of native MPFL insertion sites, secure fixation of the graft to these sites, and appropriate graft tension. We describe a technique for MPFL reconstruction with a looped semitendinosus tendon. The 2 free limbs of the graft are secured into blind-end patellar sockets with knotless anchors, and the looped end is initially secured into a medial femoral socket with a button on the opposite (lateral) cortex. Use of an adjustable-loop button allows for gradual adjustment of graft tension, as well as re-tensioning after cycling of the knee, before final aperture fixation on the femur with an interference screw.
