Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament of the Knee: Anatomic Augmentation With Semitendinosus and Gracilis Tendon Autografts.

ABSTRACT: The superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) and associated knee structures are the most commonly injured structures of the knee. Most isolated sMCL tears are treated nonoperatively. Several studies have described different algorithms for treatment of sMCL lesions, as well as different types of techniques, both in the acute and in chronic settings. The purpose of this article was to detail our anatomic sMCL augmentation technique using semitendinosus and gracilis tendon autografts.

Weave Technique for Reconstruction of Medial Collateral Ligament and Posterior Oblique Ligament: An Anatomic Approach Using Semitendinosus Tendon.

Project description:Medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament in knee. The majority of MCL tears can be managed conservatively, and reconstruction or augmentation is required in few selected cases. Anatomic MCL and posterior oblique ligament reconstruction have good functional outcome, but it requires 2 tunnels each in the tibia and femur, which may be a limitation in cases in which multiligament reconstruction is required. Several studies report the use of semitendinosus tendon with intact tibial attachment for MCL reconstruction. Since the attachment of semitendinosus is anterior to MCL footprint, it is non-anatomic and anisometric, which may lead to increased laxity of the reconstructed ligament in due course of time. To prevent the laxity in long term, the reconstruction has to be isometric and anatomic. We, hereby, are reporting our unique technique of MCL and posterior oblique ligament reconstruction using intact semitendinosus at tibial attachment and re-routing to the MCL which makes the reconstruction anatomic and isometric. A supplemental video demonstration of the technique is attached with this article.

Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus and Gracilis Autografts: Surgical Technique.

Project description:An anatomically based posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction has emerged as a viable and clinically effective surgical technique for midsubstance ligamentous injuries in both the acute and chronic settings. There are several surgical techniques for PLC reconstruction; however, the classic anatomic reconstruction technique (LaPrade technique) is now considered the gold standard and was originally described using an Achilles tendon allograft. In this article, we describe a modified LaPrade autograft technique, in which the same tunnel position, graft passage, and fixation are used to reproduce the 3 primary stabilizers of the PLC. Instead of allografts, hamstring autografts are used while tunnel diameters and fixation devices are adapted to them. With the use of autograft tendons, difficulties related to graft length or asymmetry are encountered. We consider this technique a good alternative for an anatomically based PLC reconstruction, especially given the lower availability and higher cost of allograft tissues in several countries.

Open Medial Meniscotibial Ligament Repair With Concomitant Open Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Repair With Internal Brace Augmentation.

Project description:The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. Historically, nonsurgical management for these injuries has been favored for a majority of grade I-III sprains, particularly femoral-based. However, when coupled with other injuries such as meniscotibial ligament tears or distal Stener type avulsion tears, early surgical management for these cases is recommended. This will allow for stabilization and protection of the meniscus in addition to preventing residual valgus laxity, especially related to more severe Stener-like avulsions of the superficial MCL that can be seen with meniscotibial ligament tears. Utilizing an open approach, meniscotibial repair with suture anchors with internal brace augmentation for the MCL repair can provide a strong final construct, and a safe and fast recovery.

Modified Bosworth Technique for Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Knee Using Semitendinosus Tendon Autograft

Project description:The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a major contributor to knee joint stability and is the most common ligament involved in knee injuries. When conservative management for high-grade MCL injuries fails, operative treatment is indicated. Various reconstruction techniques are described in the literature. The following report describes a reconstruction technique based on the modified Bosworth. We present a step-by-step technique for using autograft semitendinosus tendon as a double limb to reconstruct the MCL and if necessary, the posterior oblique ligament. The technique is versatile with respect to a spectrum of MCL injury patterns, isometric, incorporates techniques that are common to other knee reconstructions, and uses readily available autograft. It has been used extensively by the senior authors as an adjunct/augmentation to the repair of acute MCL injuries as well as in the reconstruction of chronic MCL laxity. The technique restores stability to rotation and valgus stress while maintaining the distal insertion of the semitendinosus intact. Technique Video Video 1 Video demonstrates the described technique in a right knee.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Medial Collateral Ligament, and Posterior Oblique Ligament Reconstruction Through Single Tibial Tunnel Using Hamstring Tendon Autografts.

Project description:Combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries are the most common type of combined ligamentous injury of the knee. The optimal treatment for these combined injuries is controversial. Combined ACL and MCL-posterior oblique ligament (POL) reconstruction avoids late anteromedial rotatory instability and chronic valgus instability of the knee and decreases the increased stress on the ACL graft. Graft choice (hamstring tendon autograft, quadriceps bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, or Achilles tendon allograft) and anatomic restoration of the medial and posteromedial corner of the knee are challenges of this combined reconstruction. This article describes a technique that allows combined ACL and MCL-POL reconstruction. The hamstring tendons from the contralateral limb are tripled and used as the ACL graft. The gracilis tendon from the ipsilateral limb is doubled and used as the MCL-POL graft. The semitendinosus tendon of the ipsilateral limb is preserved. After ACL reconstruction, the MCL-POL graft is suspended on the ACL graft at the distal end of the tibial tunnel and the graft limbs are used for open reconstruction of the MCL and POL. Three interference screws (Arthrex, Naples, FL) and 1 metal staple are used for graft fixation of this combined reconstruction.

Combined Reconstruction of the Medial Collateral Ligament and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Using Ipsilateral Quadriceps Tendon-Bone and Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autografts.

Project description:The exclusive autograft choice for medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction that has been described until today is the semitendinosus tendon. However, this has some potential disadvantages in a knee with combined MCL-anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, including weakening of the hamstring's anterior restraining action in an already ACL-injured knee and nonanatomic distal MCL graft insertion when leaving the semitendinosus insertion intact at the pes anserinus during reconstruction. Moreover, because some surgeons prefer to use the hamstring for autologous ACL reconstruction, the contralateral uninjured knee hamstring needs to be harvested as a graft source for the MCL reconstruction if autografts and not allografts are the surgeons' preference. We describe a technique for performing combined reconstruction of the MCL and ACL using ipsilateral quadriceps tendon-bone and bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts. This technique of MCL reconstruction spares the hamstring tendons and benefits from the advantage provided by bone-to-bone healing on the femur with distal and proximal MCL tibial fixation that closely reproduces the native MCL tibia insertion.

Technique for Arthroscopically Assisted Superficial and Deep Medial Collateral Ligament-Meniscotibial Ligament Repair With Internal Brace Augmentation.

Project description:Deep medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury leads to meniscal lift-off and extrusion of the medial meniscus, resulting in instability and increased medial compartment pressures with subsequent cartilage damage. Repair of the deep MCL meniscotibial ligament in concert with superficial MCL repair or reconstruction is intended to restore the native anatomy , stability, and function of the medial meniscus. We present an arthroscopically assisted technique using standard arthroscopy portals and a medial open approach.

Anatomic Acromioclavicular Ligament Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus Autograft With Suture Augmentation: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations are common injuries and account for 3.2% of shoulder injuries. These injuries typically occur among adolescent and young adult athletes during contact sports, such as hockey, wrestling, and rugby. Low-grade AC joint separations (Rockwood grade I-II) are often successfully treated nonoperatively. High-grade AC joint separations (Rockwood grade IV-VI) have the potential to alter scapular kinematics, causing painful and restricted motion, and are often treated surgically. Over 150 surgical techniques have been described to treat AC joint separations. Techniques vary in the types of implants used (screws, pins), use of anatomic or nonanatomic reconstructions, number of drill holes used, use of arthroscopic or open procedures, use of distal clavicle resection, and types of augmentation (allografts, autografts, sutures). The procedure can be expensive, with the implants and grafts costing varied amounts and, at times, thousands of dollars. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe an inexpensive method of open anatomic AC joint reconstruction using a single bone tunnel, suture tape, and a semitendinosus autograft.

Distal Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Repair With Suture Augmentation.

Project description:The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament of the knee. Given its extra-articular location, the MCL has great healing capacity such that the mainstay of treatment for most injuries remains conservative management. However, certain injury patterns place patients and athletes at risk of residual valgus laxity, which may require delayed surgical care and prolonged time out from sports. As such, identifying the specific injuries known to place patients at risk for failure with nonoperative management is of paramount importance. Although controversy remains regarding the optimal treatment of grade III MCL injuries, it is generally accepted that MCL ruptures from the distal tibia attachment require operative fixation. This technique article with accompanying video provides a detailed description of a technique for repairing the distal MCL attachment with suture augmentation. There are several advantages associated with an augmented direct repair including early, safe rehabilitation; prevention of valgus instability; and avoiding the comorbidities associated with a larger reconstruction.

Open Anatomic Reconstruction of the Medial Collateral Ligament and Posteromedial Corner.

Project description:Injuries to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and posteromedial corner can occur in isolation or in the setting of multiligamentous knee injuries. Reconstruction of the MCL and posteromedial corner is indicated in the setting of a multiligamentous knee injury. Isolated cases failing nonoperative treatment may also undergo surgical treatment. Our preferred technique for anatomic medial-sided knee reconstruction is an open anatomic MCL reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft along with direct repair of all associated medial and posteromedial structures.
