Transosseous-Equivalent Repair for Distal Patellar Tendon Avulsion.

ABSTRACT: Extensor mechanism disruptions are relatively uncommon injuries involving injury to the quadriceps tendon, patella, or patellar tendon. Patellar tendon avulsions from the tibial tubercle in adults are rare; as such, little technical information has been written regarding surgical management of this injury in the adult. Transosseous-equivalent repairs have been described in the management of several types of tendon ruptures, including rotator cuff and distal triceps tendon ruptures, but not previously in patellar injuries. We present a technique for repairing an avulsion injury of the patellar tendon from the tibial tubercle using suture anchors in a transosseous-equivalent manner. This technique for treating distal patellar tendon avulsion injuries likely increases contact area at the repair site while potentially improving fixation strength.

Distal Patellar Tendon SpeedBridge Repair.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are rare injuries in young athletes, resulting in disruption of the extensor mechanism, and require surgery for functional recovery. Several techniques have been reported, including end-to-end repair and single-row suture anchor constructs. The strength of these repairs has been questioned, and they are commonly augmented. We endorse a double-row repair technique that provides an anatomic restoration of the footprint, has high fixation strength, eliminates the need for graft augmentation, and allows early motion.

Arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff repair techniques continue to evolve in an effort to improve repair biomechanics, maximize the biologic environment for tendon healing, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. The arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent technique was developed to replicate the favorable tendon-bone contact area for healing seen in open transosseous tunnel repair. In this technical note and accompanying video, we present our all-arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair technique with a focus on technical pearls.

High-Strength Suture Tape Augmentation Improves Cyclic Gap Formation in Transosseous Patellar Tendon Repair: A Biomechanical Study.

Project description:PurposeTo compare gap displacement at various intervals of cyclic testing and biomechanical load to failure of a Krackow patellar tendon repair augmented with high-strength suture tape versus the standard Krackow transosseous technique for inferior pole patellar tendon rupture.MethodsTwelve matched pairs of cadaveric knees were used (8 males and 4 females; mean age 79.6 years, range 57 to 96). An inferior pole patellar tendon rupture was simulated after random assignment of specimens in each pair to the standard or augmented Krackow technique. Each specimen was then repetitively cycled from 90° to 5° for 1,000 cycles. A differential variable reluctance transducer was used to measure gap displacement. After cyclic loading, load to failure was determined by pulling the tendon at a rate of 15 mm/s until a sudden decrease in load occurred.ResultsCompared with the control repair, specimens with augmented repair demonstrated significantly less displacement at all testing intervals up to 1,000 cycles (P < .05). Two patellar tendons failed before the end of cyclic loading, and 4 specimens had inadequate tendon length for loading. Among the 18 remaining specimens, no significant difference in load to failure was observed between the experimental group (n = 11) and the control group (n = 7) (1,006.5 ± 332.1 versus 932.8 ± 229.1 N, respectively; P = .567).ConclusionsSignificantly greater gap displacement was observed in the standard Krackow repair group compared with the augmented Krackow group at all cyclic loading intervals. This suggests that the Krackow transosseous procedure augmented with high-strength suture tape is biomechanically viable for inferior pole patellar tendon repair.Clinical relevanceThis biomechanical study supports the use of high-strength suture tape augmentation of Krackow transosseous repair for inferior pole patellar tendon rupture.

Patellar Tendon Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation for Proximal Patellar Tendon Rupture.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are severe but uncommon injuries that require surgical treatment. Primary repair for acute patellar tendon ruptures using augmentation techniques has shown good results in terms of biomechanical and clinical outcomes. This Technical Note details patellar tendon repair with suture tape augmentation for proximal patellar tendon rupture. Because this surgical technique does not require harvesting of the hamstring tendon and hardware removal, it is minimally invasive. In addition, it is simple and quick to perform.

Tripod Technique to Augment Transosseous Equivalent Rotator Cuff Repair

Project description:The transosseous-equivalent Speedbridge™ technique is commonly used during rotator cuff repair; however, the soft bone of the lateral humerus may result in toggling of the lateral row anchors with subsequent de-tensioning of the repair. The technique presented here uses an additional third-row anchor, in a tripod fashion, that reduces the forces on the lateral humerus anchors and protects the repair. Technique Video Video 1 Intraoperative video demonstrating the tripod technique to augment transosseous equivalent rotator cuff repair. This is performed on the patient’s left shoulder, and the patient is in the lateral decubitus position.

Physeal-Sparing Transosseous-Equivalent Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff injuries in the skeletally immature population are uncommon, with most tears resulting from trauma or overuse in throwing athletes. Although the literature has referenced multiple repair methods in the pediatric population, an arthroscopic physeal-sparing technique has yet to be described. Given the proximity of the proximal humerus growth plate to the typical anchor placement during rotator cuff repair, we advocate a technique that avoids violation of the proximal humeral physis. Our technique shows an arthroscopic physeal-sparing repair using standard arthroscopic equipment and fluoroscopy.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Double-Row Transosseous Equivalent Suture Bridge Technique.

Project description:Following a failed course of conservative management, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) has become the gold standard treatment for patients presenting with symptomatic rotator cuff (RC) tears. Traditionally, the single-row repair technique was used. Although most patients enjoy good to excellent clinical outcomes, structural healing to bone remains problematic. As a result, orthopaedic surgeons have sought to improve outcomes with various technological and technical advancements. One such possible advancement is the double-row technique. We present a method for repairing an RC tear using double-row suture anchors in a transosseous equivalent suture bridge technique. The double-row technique is believed to more effectively re-create the anatomic footprint of the tendon, as well as increase tendon to bone surface area, and apposition for healing. However, it requires longer operating times and is costlier. This report highlights this technique for ARCR in an adult by using a double-row transosseous equivalent suture bridge.

Arthroscopic Knotless Separate Layer Transosseous Equivalent Repair of Delaminated Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Delamination of rotator cuff tears presents a challenge for surgeons. Recognizing and repairing such a complex tear pattern often require innovative approaches to achieve an anatomic restoration of footprint. In this Technical Note, we described our preferred method that anatomically repairs both layers of delaminated rotator cuff tear separately in a knotless transosseous equivalent technique. Two sutures are placed to the articular layer in a cinch stitch configuration. Then, closed-loop end sutures are passed through both layers while keeping the closed-loop end at the working portal. The free ends of cinch stitches are loaded to anchors with a preloaded fiber tape loop, which is placed to the medial row while approximating the articular layer onto its footprint. Fiber tapes are then shuttled through both layers of tendon with the help of a previously placed closed-loop suture. Finally, the lateral row anchors are placed while fiber tapes are tensioned in a cross-bridge configuration. We believe that this technique may facilitate uneventful healing of delaminated rotator cuffs by providing the biomechanical properties of transosseous equivalent repair.

Avulsion Fracture of Bicruciate Ligament and Patellar Tendon in Bicruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Project description:Tibial intercondylar fracture with anterior cruciate ligament avulsion is a unique but rare complication of bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. Here, we describe an even rarer condition that the tibial intercondylar fracture involved bicruciate ligament and partial patellar tendon avulsion fracture resulting in significant clinical instability in a 70-year-old woman, a combination not yet reported in the literature. Dual-energy computed tomography helped characterize the fracture. During revision surgery, the bicruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty was revised to posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty and the patellar tendon was repaired with a suture anchor. She recovered well progressively, and at 6 months, she could walk with the use of an assisted walking device.

Patellar Tendon Repair With Ipsilateral Semitendinosus Autograft Augmentation.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are rare but potentially devastating injuries. Acute repair after patellar tendon rupture affords the best opportunity for tension-free restoration of the extensor mechanism. Biological augmentation of primary repair is believed to decrease strain across the repair site and reduce the risk of rerupture. We present a technique for primary patellar tendon repair with bidirectional fixation using transosseous tunnels, suture anchor fixation, and ipsilateral hamstring autograft augmentation in a distal patellar pole socket.
