Project description:Concomitant meniscal injuries are common in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency. Along with ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair offers better outcomes. This requires multiple incisions for both procedures. We present a novel technique of medial meniscus inside out repair using only the tibial tunnel wound without making an additional posteromedial incision. This is the first such description of this novel technique in a 21 year old male who underwent ACL reconstruction along with bucket handle medial meniscal repair.

Project description:There is no current consensus in the literature on the optimal technique for surgical treatment of partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA) lesions, although most techniques described to date require takedown of the partially torn tendon or passage of an anchor through the already damaged tendon. We describe a novel inside-out repair technique for partial articular surface supraspinatus tears that does not require further disruption of the partially torn tendon by passage of an anchor.

Project description:The dorsal and palmar radioulnar ligaments are the deep components of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), which provides stability to the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). In patients with DRUJ instability, arthroscopic procedures are currently focused on reattachment of the deep components of the TFCC to the fovea of the ulnar head. TFCC-foveal reattachment can be performed either by using the transosseous technique with creation of a bone tunnel or by suturing to a bone anchor. Most previous studies of the TFCC suture method have used an outside-in technique. We herein present an arthroscopic inside-out TFCC-foveal reattachment technique with a bony anchor for the treatment of DRUJ instability. This technique has novel advantages, including less exposure, less soft-tissue dissection, and greater ease of TFCC suturing. This procedure may thus be considered another good option for the treatment of TFCC injury with DRUJ instability.

Project description:Elbow arthroscopy has increased in popularity in the past 10 years for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A major limiting factor faced by the elbow arthroscopist is the close proximity of the neurovasculature to the working field, with the risk of iatrogenic injury. Many arthroscopic procedures are less extensive than their open equivalents because of an inability to consistently and safely eliminate the risk of neural and vascular injury. Many open procedures in the posterior compartment of the elbow joint are not routinely performed arthroscopically. The primary reason for this restriction in arthroscopic practice is the locality of the posteromedially positioned ulnar nerve in the posterior compartment. Experience and practice with elbow arthroscopic techniques allows surgeons to expand the indications for arthroscopic treatment of an increasing number of elbow pathologies. A philosophy that is routine in open surgery when dealing with pathology that is adjacent to neurovasculature is to identify the neurovasculature and hence reduce the risk of injury. Our aim is to translate this philosophy to arthroscopy by helping define a safe technique for identifying the ulnar nerve in the posteromedial elbow gutter and allowing for a safer performance of procedures in the posteromedial region of the elbow.

Project description:Knee arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of disorders of the knee. In a series of 4 articles, the basics of knee arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (part 3), step-by-step diagnostic arthroscopy is reviewed. Diagnostic arthroscopy is a crucial skill for diagnosing intra-articular disorders of the knee including meniscal, synovial, ligamentous, and articular cartilage pathology. Mastery of the basic diagnostic arthroscopy is a critical tool for orthopaedic surgeons treating disorders of the knee.

Project description:Bucket-handle tears of the meniscus comprise nearly 10% of all meniscus tears and commonly affect the young male population. Displacement of the free segment can lead to significant pain and disability, necessitating reduction and surgical treatment. General contraindications include malalignment, severe arthritis, significant comorbidities, or chronic asymptomatic tears, but otherwise repair should almost always be performed. Options for surgical treatment include partial meniscectomy and arthroscopic repair using an all-inside, outside-in, or inside-out technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to detail our arthroscopic inside-out repair technique augmented with bone marrow aspirate concentrate.

Project description:Parrot beak tear is a white-white meniscal injury that often occurs in isolated injuries. Partial meniscectomy for parrot beak tears is often recommended, owing to the avascular zone; however, partial meniscectomy, especially with the lateral meniscus, has a high failure rate for return to sports, leading to residual meniscus extrusion and lateral compartment osteoarthritis. Thus, we have developed a repair technique to preserve the parrot beak tear of the avascular zone. This is a modification of the inside-out repair with additional reduction sutures. We recommend this procedure as a technique for repairing avascular parrot beak tears of the lateral meniscus.

Project description:Knee stiffness with severe flexion and extension impediment is a common clinical condition that challenges orthopaedic surgeons. Arthroscopic release techniques have been reported, mostly for slight extension or flexion deficits. However, for severe flexion- and extension-impeding knee stiffness, especially when there is no intra-articular space in which to place the arthroscope, effective arthroscopic release techniques are still being pursued. We introduce a systemic arthroscopic release technique to address this special condition, in which a trans-infrapatellar fat pad release technique is developed to obtain access to the joint and to perform intra-articular and periarticular release, as well as scar tissue removal. One critical point of this technique is to create the posteromedial and posterolateral portals to re-establish the posterior compartments, remove the fibrotic posterior septum, and release the posterior capsule. This technique combines almost all related arthroscopic techniques in the treatment of knee stiffness. We consider that the introduction of this technique will provide a useful guide when surgical release is selected for this special condition.

Project description:Septic arthritis of the knee is a potentially life-threatening condition and can be associated with many late complications. The key of success of management of septic arthritis of the knee joint is early aggressive treatment of surgical debridement and decompression and antibiotic therapy. In adults, arthroscopic drainage with synovectomy is the treatment of choice in septic arthritis of the knee, with lower rates of infectious recurrence than needle aspiration and better functional results than open surgery. Repeated arthroscopic debridement and drainage is needed in case of delayed treatment with an advanced arthroscopic stage of the infection, early unfavorable course, or multiresistant germ. In these situations, synovectomy should be as complete as possible to maximize the reduction of the bacterial burden and avoid the need of further debridement. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of complete arthroscopic synovectomy of the knee joint. This includes 2 circles of circumferential synovectomy. One circle is in the axial plane and includes the intercondylar notch, anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral compartments. The other circle is in the coronal plane and includes the supra-patellar pouch, medial and lateral recesses, and the anterior compartment.
