Anterolateral Extra-articular Soft Tissue Reconstruction in Anterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Knee.

ABSTRACT: Anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) occurs after injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the anterolateral structures of the knee. We present a technique for anterolateral extra-articular soft-tissue (ALES) reconstruction of the knee that can be used in revision ACL reconstruction cases, cases of persistent ALRI after adequate ACL reconstruction, and cases with severe ALRI after primary ACL rupture. The surgeon performs ALES reconstruction with a strip of iliotibial tract autograft while respecting the anatomic origin and insertion of the anterolateral ligament. The purpose of this reconstruction is to restore the normal anterolateral rotatory stability of the knee in ALES-deficient patients.

Anatomic Double-Bundle ACL Reconstruction With Extra-articular Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction and Internal Brace.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with additional procedures could be necessary for patients with increased preoperative pivot shift. Double-bundle (DB) ACLR provides more footprint coverage and recreates the 2 functional anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles, which are believed to give better joint function and stability than single-bundle (SB) ACLR. Internal brace augmentation with suture tape is proposed along with tendon graft in ACLR to protect the newly reconstructed ligament during rehabilitation. Additional reconstruction with anterolateral ligament (ALL) during ACLR has shown significant reduction in the level of persistent pivot shift. In Technical Note we present a modified surgical technique of combined anatomic DB ACLR and ALLR with hamstring autograft and internal brace, using button suspensory fixation device and aperture screws. The objective of this technique is to decrease residual anterior and rotational instability after ACLR and ALLR.

Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction With Anteromedial Reinforcement for Medial and Anteromedial Rotatory Instability of the Knee.

Project description:Even though structures of the medial side of the knee have a high potential to heal without surgery, in some circumstances injuries of this region may lead to development of chronic medial and anteromedial rotatory instability (AMRI). In those circumstances, surgery should be performed. Current-day surgical techniques are focused on recreating the function of the main stabilizers of the medial side of the knee, which are the medial collateral ligament and the posterior oblique ligament, but they omit the role of the anteromedial capsule. Nonetheless, they are able to restore at most "near-native" biomechanics of the joint, are highly invasive, and require advanced skills in posteromedial knee surgery. Maybe we should take a look at chronic medial instability and AMRI from the other side? We present a minimally invasive reconstruction of the superficial medial collateral ligament with anteromedial reinforcement for the AMRI component. Level of evidence: 1 (knee) and 2 (collateral ligaments).

Semimembranosus Tendon Advancement for the Anteromedial Knee Rotatory Instability Treatment.

Project description:Injury to the medial compartment of the knee is the most common ligament injury to this joint. The medial approach must consider the presence of associated anteromedial instability. Untreated injury of these instabilities can result in failure of the other reconstructed ligaments. As treatment is usually associated with other ligaments, it is relevant that the technique could save grafts and synthetic material. This article aims to describe a technique for the treatment of anteromedial instabilities through semimembranosus tendon tenodesis in a more anterior and distal position, promoting the tensioning of the posteromedial structures.

Minimally Invasive Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Knee.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common knee injuries, and multiple reconstructive techniques have been described. However, studies frequently report an inability to duplicate native, dynamic knee function, particularly rotationally. This residual joint laxity that occasionally follows an ACL reconstruction can cause further problems post surgical intervention, including meniscal tears and especially late osteoarthritic change. Additionally, ACL graft retears are a concern, particularly in young patients. Although these undesired sequelae of ACL reconstruction could be a by-product of insufficient ACL reconstruction methods related to either graft placement or problems with graft healing and biology, it is also possible that failure to additionally address lateral extra-articular structures after ACL injury could play a role in the residual knee laxity of the affected knee. The purpose of this article is to show a minimally invasive technique for extra-articular anterolateral ligament reconstruction.

Intra-articular angiofibroma of soft tissue of the knee: A case report.

Project description:Angiofibroma of soft tissue (AFST) is an extremely rare soft tissue neoplasm that typically presents as a slow-growing, painless mass in the extremities. The present study reports an unusual case of an intra-articular AFST occurring in the left knee of a 23-year-old female. Physical examination revealed a 3-cm, relatively mobile, elastic-hard, non-tender mass. Magnetic resonance imaging detected an intra-articular soft tissue mass with iso-signal intensity relative to skeletal muscle on T1-weighted sequences and heterogeneous high signal intensity on T2-weighted sequences. Contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted sequences demonstrated strong peripheral enhancement of the mass. An arthroscopic excision of the mass was performed. Histologically, the tumor was composed of spindle- or oval-shaped cells in a fibromyxoid stroma with a prominent vascular pattern. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for vimentin and CD163 and focally positive for CD68, desmin and estrogen receptor. Based on these findings, the tumor was diagnosed as an AFST. The patient had no evidence of local recurrence within 9 months of follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of intra-articular AFST managed successfully with arthroscopic excision.

Extra-articular, Intraepiphyseal Drilling for Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee.

Project description:Symptomatic osteochondritis dissecans lesions of the knee frequently occur in skeletally immature patients. When conservative treatment fails, retro-articular drilling, also known as intraepiphyseal extra-articular drilling, becomes a viable treatment option. The purpose of this article is to describe our surgical technique and postoperative management of patients with stable osteochondritis dissecans lesions involving the femoral condyles. This technique is reproducible, uses readily available equipment, and has yielded good clinical outcomes with high healing rates and relatively early return to sports.

Endoscopic Resection of Medial Extra-articular Cysts of the Knee.

Project description:Although most of the parameniscal cysts are very small and asymptomatic, some of them can present with a painful mass or snapping knee. Because parameniscal cysts are almost always associated with horizontal meniscal tears, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy of the involved part of meniscus and intra-articular cyst drainage has become the most accepted procedure. However, arthroscopic cyst decompression through partial meniscectomy to the meniscocapsular junction to expose the communication between the cyst and the knee joint may sacrifice some of the healthy parts of the meniscus especially when meniscal tear is peripheral. Moreover, internal drainage may not be an adequate treatment for a cyst larger than 5 cm in size or a multiloculated cyst. The excision of the cyst is a more appropriate treatment option in these situations. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of endoscopic resection of medial extra-articular cysts of the knee. This technique is indicated in symptomatic medial extra-articular cysts of the knee with peripheral or no tear of the medial meniscus, especially if the cysts are large and multiloculated.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis.

Project description:Anterolateral rotational instability may persist after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction for a variety of reasons including damage to lateral or posterolateral structures, injury to the meniscus, disruption of anterolateral soft tissue structures, or increased tibial slope. In the setting of revision or primary ACL reconstruction with persistent anterolateral laxity, despite repair or reconstruction of other injured structures or in the setting of increased tibial slope, a lateral extra-articular tenodesis procedure can be used to augment an ACL reconstruction to aid in restoring anterolateral rotational stability and to upload the ACL reconstruction graft. This article details our technique for performing a modified Lemaire lateral extra-articular tenodesis using iliotibial band autograft as an adjunct to ACL reconstruction.

A case of an upper anterior abdominal wall extra-skeletal Ewing sarcoma- soft tissue reconstruction with medial intercostal artery perforator flap and free anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap with arteriovenous loop graft.

Project description:IntroductionExtra-skeletal Ewing sarcoma - a rare clinical entity. After the tumour resection, a huge upper anterior abdominal wall defect poses a challenge in soft tissue reconstruction in a thin individual.Case presentationWe report an anterior abdominal wall Ewing sarcoma in a 22-year-old gentleman, arising from the left rectus abdominis muscle. After wide local excision, the reconstruction was achieved with free anterolateral thigh(ALT) fasciocutaneous flap with arteriovenous(AV) loop graft, right medial intercostal artery perforator(MICAP) flap and split-thickness skin graft(SSG).DiscussionThe goals of anterior abdominal wall reconstruction are to restore the integrity of the abdominal wall, prevent visceral eventration, and provide functional support. In view of the size of the defect, a free ALT flap was harvested and anastomosed to the left deep inferior epigastric bundle with the AV loop graft. Although the current trend is skewed towards the use of biologic mesh, an on-lay prolene mesh was used due to its affordable cost and that the biologic mesh was not available in Malaysia. The options of further reconstruction after the patient developed marginal flap necrosis and surgical site infection were also discussed. Post-operation 3 months, there was denser hair growth on the ALT flap. This finding has never been reported before and warrants further studies.ConclusionThe use of combination of various technique, namely free ALT fasciocutaneous flap with AV loop graft, right MICAP flap and SSG in reconstruction ensures a satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcome in the upper anterior abdominal wall reconstruction.
