Combined Anterior and Anterolateral Stabilization of the Knee With the Iliotibial Band.

ABSTRACT: Interest and knowledge on the anatomy, function, and biomechanical properties of the anterolateral ligament has led to the recognition of the importance of this structure in rotational control of the knee. This article describes a technique that allows for a combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral reconstruction, using an Iliotibial band (ITB) autograft. The graft is detached from the vastus lateralis from proximal to distal, at the center portion from ITB, preserving its distal insertion on the Gerdy tubercle. Its width is 1 cm for the distal part, used for the anterolateral ligament reconstruction, and 3 cm for the proximal part. An outside-in femoral tunnel is drilled respecting both the preferred favorable isometric femoral insertion site and the femoral ACL footprint. An ACL reconstruction combined with a lateral tenodesis with a continuous ITB graft respects the anatomical and isometric rules providing superior internal rotational control of the knee in comparison with a stand-alone ACL reconstruction.

Combined Anterior and Anterolateral Stabilization of the Knee With the Hamstring Tendons.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction allows good control of sagittal laxity but insufficient rotary laxity control. Our objective is to describe an original lateral extra-articular tenodesis using gracilis in addition to an intra-articular reconstruction using the semitendinosus in a short 4-strand graft. The principles are as follows: The femoral tunnel for intra-articular and extra-articular reconstruction is unique, the femoral attachment is posterior and proximal to the lateral epicondyle, the graft is under the lateral collateral ligament, and the tibial insertion is isometric from 0° to 60° between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibular head.

Segond Fractures Involve the Anterolateral Knee Capsule But Not the Iliotibial Band.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the relationship between the Segond fracture and the anterolateral complex of the knee.MethodsBetween January 2014 and March 2020, patients who presented with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear requiring acute surgical reconstruction (within 10 days from trauma) were evaluated for inclusion in this study. Patients were included if they had an acute ACL tear with an associated Segond fracture (or "Segond lesion") as detected by radiograph or magnetic resonance imaging. The lateral compartment was exposed in all cases using a 5-cm lateral hockey-stick incision, which was carried down to the iliotibial band. The fascia lata was first inspected and then longitudinally divided along its fibers to expose lateral compartment. The posterolateral corner to Gerdy's tubercle anteriorly was exposed and examined. Once the Segond fracture was identified, it was recorded and photographed.ResultsSeventeen patients were enrolled in the study. Dissection of the Segond fracture demonstrated attachment to the anterolateral capsule only. No other discernible attachment to the Segond fracture was noted. Surgical exploration of the anterolateral knee did not reveal injury to the iliotibial band.ConclusionsCareful dissection of Segond fractures during repair revealed that there is a discernible attachment with the anterolateral capsule to the bone injury in all patients with acute ACL tears undergoing surgical reconstruction and no connections to the iliotibial band.Clinical relevanceThe precise pathogenesis of Segond fractures has been the subject of debate, partially due to the complexity of the anatomy of the anterolateral aspect of the knee. Proper understanding of the anatomy of type IV ALL injures with Segond fractures is important to improve treatment of these injuries.

Minimally Invasive Combined Anterior and Anterolateral Stabilization of the Knee Using Hamstring Tendons and Adjustable-Loop Suspensory Fixation Device: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Despite the numerous techniques described regarding isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, many authors have reported that residual knee rotational instability is not always eliminated. The combination of lateral extra-articular knee tenodesis and ACL reconstruction is an alternative surgical approach with very promising clinical results. The purpose of this article is to describe a reliable and reproducible technique of combined ACL reconstruction and lateral extra-articular knee tenodesis using a continuous looped hamstring tendon autograft. A 4-strand graft inside the joint and a 2-strand graft for the tenodesis are attached to 2 adjustable-loop button suspensory fixation devices.

Knee Iliotibial Band Z-Plasty Lengthening and Bursectomy Technique.

Project description:Multiple surgical techniques have been described to treat refractory iliotibial band syndrome. However, there is lacking evidence demonstrating superiority of one technique over the other and limited audiovisual resources. Most surgical procedures aim to release the iliotibial band; nevertheless, few focus on reducing concomitant inflammation. The present article illustrates a Z-plasty lengthening technique associated with local bursectomy for treating iliotibial band syndrome refractory to conservative treatment.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Despite technologic advances in the surgical technique for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, some patients continue to have rotational instability postoperatively. Recently, authors have reported the anatomic and functional characteristics of the anterolateral ligament (ALL), a structure that originates near the lateral epicondyle on the femur and inserts on the tibia between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibular head. Recent biomechanical studies have shown the ALL is an important stabilizer against anterolateral tibial rotation, and its reconstruction has shown excellent initial clinical results. Several techniques have been developed to try to anatomically address this structure in the setting of an ACL reconstruction. This article details a simple anatomic technique to reconstruct the ACL and the ALL of the knee using hamstring tendon autograft and maintaining the semitendinosus insertion.

Combined Intra- and Extra-articular Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament: The Reconstruction of the Knee Anterolateral Ligament.

Project description:We present a new technique for the combined intra- and extra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. Intra-articular reconstruction is performed in an outside-in manner according to the precepts of the anatomic femoral tunnel technique. Extra-articular reconstruction is performed with the gracilis tendon while respecting the anatomic parameters of the origin and insertion points and the path described for the knee anterolateral ligament.

Combined Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:There has been a substantial increase in the number of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions performed in the past decade. This Technical Note describes combined revision ACL and anterolateral ligament reconstruction using outside-in drilling, which avoids the need for 2-stage revision ACL reconstruction because it allows unconstrained anatomic placement.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:There has been a renewed interest in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairs over the last decade with some early promising results in the right patient population. Additionally, the anterolateral ligament has been extensively studied and has recently been shown to have a protective effect on standard ACL reconstructions in a clinical trial. Given its protective effect on ACL reconstructions, we believe this phenomenon is also relevant to ACL repairs and can decrease rerupture rates. In this publication, we demonstrate a surgical technique for ACL repair using an internal brace combined with an anterolateral ligament reconstruction using a gracilis autograft.

Iliotibial Band Tenodesis With a Tenodesis Screw for Augmentation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with lateral extra-articular tenodesis using a strip of the iliotibial band (ITB) has been shown to increase postoperative stability of the knee. This Technical Note describes a method of ITB tenodesis in which a central slip of the ITB is passed deep to the lateral collateral ligament and then rerouted anteriorly for fixation at a location anterior and proximal to the lateral femoral epicondyle. Five whipstitches are passed through the ITB, and a second distal suture is tied around the distal end. Of the 4 suture tails, 3 are passed through a tenodesis screwdriver, and the screw is placed in the previously reamed bone socket. A closed loop is formed around the tenodesis screw by tying off the suture tails. This technique creates a sling around the lateral collateral ligament, which serves as a checkrein to internal rotation in cases in which increased stability is warranted, such as revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in an athlete.

Femoral Physeal-Sparing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using the Iliotibial Band: Over-The-Top Technique.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are increasingly frequent in skeletally immature patients. However, treatment within this subpopulation remains controversial. Conventional transphyseal reconstruction techniques have been questioned because of potential physeal injuries. Conservative treatment, on the other hand, may lead to degenerative meniscal and chondral lesions. This Technical Note describes the femoral physeal-sparing over-the-top technique using an iliotibial band. It is a safe and effective method for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in skeletally immature patients.
