Proximal rectus femoris tendon avulsions are rare and occur mostly in male athletes. Currently, the standard of care for complete tendinous avulsions of the direct arm of the rectus femoris is nonoperative treatment. However, surgical repair may be considered in high-level athletes who have a high demand for repetitive hip flexion performed in an explosive manner or in patients in whom nonoperative treatment has failed. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the method for surgical re ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundRectus femoris injuries are common among athletes, especially in kicking sports such as soccer; however, proximal rectus femoris avulsions in athletes are a relatively rare entity.Purpose/hypothesisThe purpose of this study was to describe and report the results of an original technique of surgical excision of the proximal tendon remnant followed by a muscular suture repair. Our hypothesis was that this technique limits the risk of recurrence in high-level athletes and allows for rapid recovery without loss of quadriceps strength.Study designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.MethodsOur retrospective series included 5 players aged 31.8 ± 3.9 years with acute proximal rectus femoris avulsion injuries who underwent a surgical resection of the proximal tendon between March 2012 and June 2014. Four of these players had recurrent rectus femoris injuries in the 9 months before surgery, while 1 player had surgery after a first injury. Mean follow-up was 18.2 ± 12.6 months, and minimum follow-up was 9 months. We analyzed the age, sex distribution, physical examination outcomes, type and mechanism of injury, diagnosis, treatment and complications during surgery, postoperative follow-up, and time to return to play. The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and Marx scores were obtained at 3-month follow-up, and isokinetic tests were performed before return to sports. A telephone interview was completed to determine the presence of recurrence at an average follow-up of 18.2 months.ResultsAt 3-month follow-up, all patients had Marx activity scores of 16 and LEFS scores of 80. Return to the previous level of play occurred at a mean of 15.8 ± 2.6 weeks after surgery, and none of the athletes suffered a recurrence. Isokinetic test results were comparable between both sides.ConclusionThe surgical treatment of proximal rectus femoris avulsions, consisting of resection of the tendinous part of the muscle, is a reliable and safe technique allowing a fast recovery in professional athletes.

Project description:In adult populations, rectus femoris avulsions are reported in professional soccer and football players but are noted to be exceptionally rare. No gold standard or recommendations exist for this injury; however, in cases of avulsion at the anterior inferior iliac spine, positive outcomes appear to result from rest, immobilization, and rehabilitation. Surgery is typically reserved for cases with large retractions of bone fragments or unsuccessful nonoperative treatment. Surgical treatment methods vary from direct suture repair to single- and double-row bone suture placement and even muscle-muscle repair. We present our technique using a bicortical tenodesis button with double-row fixation for the treatment of a severely retracted rectus femoris tendon avulsion in a high-level athlete.

Project description:Hamstring muscle injuries are common in athletes and mostly consist of sprains at the myotendinous junction, which often respond well to conservative treatment. Proximal hamstring avulsion injuries, though less common, can be severely debilitating. This injury is often seen in water skiers but has been described in many other sports and in middle-aged patients. Complete avulsions in young and active individuals do not respond well to conservative treatment and may require surgical repair. In contrast, many partial tears may be treated nonoperatively. However, when symptoms continue despite a trial of extensive therapy, surgery may be warranted. Traditional surgery for proximal hamstring repair is performed with the patient in the prone position with an incision made longitudinally or along the gluteal fold, followed by identification of the torn tendons and fixation to the ischial tuberosity. We describe a novel surgical technique for endoscopic repair of proximal hamstring avulsion injuries.

Project description:Optimal treatment of complete grade 3 tears of the adductor longus tendon from the pubic body has support for both nonsurgical management and surgical reattachment. We demonstrate the feasibility of endoscopic reattachment of an adductor avulsion with >3 cm of retraction. Using our previously described anterior pubic symphyseal portal and an anteromedial adductor portal, initial diagnostic endoscopy is followed by debridement of adhesions, preparation of the pubic body bony footprint, secure passage of suture tape through the avulsed tendon, reduction of the avulsed tendon, and knotless suture anchor reattachment. Endoscopic primary repair is a technically feasible, minimally invasive option in the treatment of retracted grade 3 adductor tears.

Project description:Hip adduction is accomplished through coordinated effort of the adductor magnus, brevis, and longus and the obturator externus and pectineus muscles. Each of these muscles may be injured at its proximal or distal insertion or in its midsubstance. The incidence of injuries to the adductor complex is difficult to determine in sport because of players' underreporting and playing through minor strains. The most commonly injured adductor muscle is the adductor longus muscle. The injury most frequently occurs at the proximal or distal musculotendinous junction, but several case reports of origin and insertional ruptures of the adductor longus exist in the literature. Successful outcomes have been obtained with both operative and nonoperative approaches in these cases. Reports of isolated proximal avulsion of the adductor magnus are less common. This article describes our surgical technique for management of a rare acute proximal adductor magnus avulsion.

Project description:PurposeTo assess failure rate, outcomes, and patient satisfaction in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair with suture augmentation for clinical instability and proximal avulsion of the ACL.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed consecutive suture-augmented ACL repairs performed by a single surgeon between January 2014 and June 2016 for proximal ACL avulsion. Patients were included if they were at least 24 months postoperative from repair surgery. Patients were excluded from the study if they underwent primary ACL reconstruction instead of repair or if they had a concomitant multiligamentous knee injury. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), visual analog scale (VAS), Veterans RAND-12 (VR-12), Marx Activity, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation data were collected.ResultsOf 172 patients who underwent ACL surgery between January 2014 and June 2016, 28 (16%) with Sherman type I or II ACL tears or high-grade partial avulsion with clinical instability underwent ACL repair with suture augmentation. One patient was not available for follow-up. The 27 patients were age 27.4 ± 8.6 years, 18 males (66.7%), and 2.8 ± 0.7 years follow-up (range, 2.0-3.8 years). Of these 27 patients, 4 recurrent ACL injuries (14.8%) required revision to reconstruction. The remaining 23 patients had successful ACL repair with no clinical instability and no subjective complaints at final follow-up. Final scores were KOOS 83.7 ± 12.8, Marx 8.6 ± 4.0, VAS 1.1 ± 1.8, physical VR-12 53.6 ± 5.2, mental VR-12 53.1 ± 8.1, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation 83.0 ± 12.9. In the 11 patients with baseline data, significant improvements were observed in composite KOOS (50.4 ± 11.5 to 85.7 ± 8.4; P < .001; VAS: 3.9 ± 2.6 to 0.8 ± 0.8; P = .002; and physical VR-12: 39.9 ± 6.5 to 55.5 ± 3.3; P < .001). All 11 patients (100%) met or exceeded the KOOS composite minimum clinically important difference (mean 34.0 increase).ConclusionsIn patients with proximal ACL avulsion, arthroscopic primary ACL repair with suture augmentation demonstrated high functional outcome and improved patient-reported outcomes at 2-year follow-up. The rate of graft failure was 15%.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic case series.

Project description:Rectus femoris transfer surgery is a common treatment for stiff knee gait in children with cerebral palsy. Unfortunately, the improvement in knee motion after surgery is inconsistent. There is great interest in understanding the causes of stiff knee gait and determining predictors of improved knee motion after surgery. This study demonstrates that it is possible to predict whether or not a patient's knee motion will improve following rectus femoris transfer surgery with greater than 80% accuracy. A predictive model was developed that requires only a few preoperative gait analysis measurements, already collected as a routine part of treatment planning. Our examination of 62 patients before and after rectus femoris transfer revealed that a combination of hip power, knee power, and knee flexion velocity at toe-off correctly predicted postoperative outcome for 80% of cases. With the addition of two more preoperative measurements, hip flexion and internal rotation, prediction accuracy increased to nearly 88%. Other combinations of preoperative gait analysis measurements also predicted outcomes with high accuracy. These results provide insight into factors related to positive outcomes and suggest that predictive models provide a valuable tool for determining indications for rectus femoris transfer.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Stiff-Knee gait (SKG) after stroke is often accompanied by decreased knee flexion angle during the swing phase. The decreased knee flexion has been hypothesized to originate from excessive quadriceps activation. However, it is unclear whether hyperreflexia plays a role in this activation. The goal of this study was to establish the relationship between quadriceps hyperreflexia and knee flexion angle during walking in post-stroke SKG. METHODS:The rectus femoris (RF) H-reflex was recorded in 10 participants with post-stroke SKG and 10 healthy controls during standing and walking at the pre-swing phase. In order to attribute the pathological neuromodulation to quadriceps muscle hyperreflexia and activation, healthy individuals voluntarily increased quadriceps activity using electromyographic (EMG) feedback during standing and pre-swing upon RF H-reflex elicitation. RESULTS:We observed a negative correlation (R?=?-?0.92, p?=?0.001) between knee flexion angle and RF H-reflex amplitude in post-stroke SKG. In contrast, H-reflex amplitude in healthy individuals in presence (R?=?0.47, p?=?0.23) or absence (R?=?-?0.17, p?=?0.46) of increased RF muscle activity was not correlated with knee flexion angle. We observed a body position-dependent RF H-reflex modulation between standing and walking in healthy individuals with voluntarily increased RF activity (d?=?2.86, p?=?0.007), but such modulation was absent post-stroke (d?=?0.73, p?=?0.296). CONCLUSIONS:RF reflex modulation is impaired in post-stroke SKG. The strong correlation between RF hyperreflexia and knee flexion angle indicates a possible regulatory role of spinal reflex excitability in post-stroke SKG. Interventions targeting quadriceps hyperreflexia could help elucidate the causal role of hyperreflexia on knee joint function in post-stroke SKG.

Project description:Calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris (CTRF) is an under-recognized condition and, because of its self-limiting nature, is usually managed conservatively. Nevertheless, when nonsurgical therapy fails, further invasive alternatives are required. At this point, arthroscopic resection provides a minimally invasive and interesting alternative to open surgery. The aim of this work is to report the surgical technique of endoscopic surgical removal in patients with CTRF at the periarticular region of the hip joint. Endoscopic surgical removal of CTRF was performed without traction following anatomic landmarks for hip arthroscopy portal placement. We used the anterolateral portal and the proximal accessory portal to obtain access to the lesion. A shaver and radiofrequency device are useful tools to depict the calcific lesion while the whole resection is performed with a 5-mm round burr. Intraoperative fluoroscopy control during the entire procedure is essential. Endoscopic treatment of calcific tendinitis of the hip is a valuable technique in the treatment of patients who do not respond to conservative treatment.

Project description:We aimed to uncover which rectus femoris strain injury types affect regional activation within the rectus femoris. The rectus femoris has a region-specific functional role; the proximal region of the rectus femoris contributes more than the middle and distal regions during hip flexion. Although a history of strain injury modifies the region-specific functional role within the rectus femoris, it was not obvious which rectus femoris strain injury types affect regional activation within it. We studied 12 soccer players with a history of rectus femoris strain injury. Injury data were obtained from a questionnaire survey and magnetic resonance imaging. To confirm the region-specific functional role of the rectus femoris, surface multichannel electromyographic signals were recorded. Accordingly, eight legs had a history of central tendon injury, four had a history of myofascial junction injury, and four had a healed strain injury. When the injury was limited to the central tendon, the region-specific functional role disappeared. The region-specific functional role was confirmed when the injury was outside the central part. The neuromuscular function was also inhibited when the longitudinal range of the injured region was long. Our findings suggest that a central tendon injury with a long injury length impairs regional neuromuscular activation of the rectus femoris muscle.
