Arthroscopic Posteromedial Capsular Release.

ABSTRACT: Post-traumatic or postsurgical flexion contractures of the knee can significantly limit function and lead to gait abnormalities. In this setting, interventions to regain full extension may include bracing, physical therapy, and open or arthroscopic surgery. Open surgical approaches to restore full motion often demand extensive recovery and promote further adhesions and loss of motion, which has led to the advent of arthroscopic techniques to address these pathologies. We present a safe, effective, and reproducible arthroscopic technique for posteromedial capsular release to address knee flexion contractures.

Arthroscopic Capsular Release of the Ankle Joint.

Project description:Adhesive capsulitis of the ankle is also known as frozen ankle and results in marked fibrosis and contracture of the ankle capsule. Arthroscopic capsular release is indicated for symptomatic frozen ankle that is resistant to conservative treatment. It is contraindicated for ankle stiffness due to degenerative joint disease, intra-articular malunion, or adhesion of the extensors of the ankle. The procedure consists of endoscopic posterior ankle capsulectomy and arthroscopic anterior ankle capsulotomy. It has the advantages of being minimally invasive surgery and allowing early postoperative vigorous mobilization of the ankle joint.

Primary Frozen Shoulder Syndrome: Arthroscopic Capsular Release.

Project description:Idiopathic adhesive capsulitis, or primary frozen shoulder syndrome, is a fairly common orthopaedic problem characterized by shoulder pain and loss of motion. In most cases, conservative treatment (6-month physical therapy program and intra-articular steroid injections) improves symptoms and restores shoulder motion. In refractory cases, arthroscopic capsular release is indicated. This surgical procedure carries several advantages over other treatment modalities. First, it provides precise and controlled release of the capsule and ligaments, reducing the risk of traumatic complications observed after forceful shoulder manipulation. Second, release of the capsule and the involved structures with a radiofrequency device delays healing, which prevents adhesion formation. Third, the technique is straightforward, and an oral postoperative steroid program decreases pain and allows for a pleasant early rehabilitation program. Fourth, the procedure is performed with the patient fully awake under an interscalene block, which boosts the patient's confidence and adherence to the physical therapy protocol. In patients with refractory primary frozen shoulder syndrome, arthroscopic capsular release emerges as a suitable option that leads to a faster and long-lasting recovery.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Concomitant Capsular Release.

Project description:Patients with rotator cuff tears may present with or subsequently develop concomitant shoulder stiffness. The treatment of rotator cuff tears in the face of passive glenohumeral motion loss is controversial. Preoperative shoulder stiffness has been considered by some a contraindication to rotator cuff repair. Some surgeons recommend staging surgical procedures and delaying rotator cuff repair until shoulder stiffness has resolved. However, this can lead to prolonged recovery times and patient dissatisfaction. We describe a surgical technique that allows for the single-stage arthroscopic management of rotator cuff tears with associated adhesive capsulitis. Arthroscopic capsular release and shoulder manipulation are performed in the same operative setting as arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We have found that this combined, single-stage arthroscopic approach can effectively treat patients with rotator cuff tears and concomitant shoulder stiffness.

Arthroscopic Capsular Release of the Talocalcaneonavicular Joint.

Project description:Arthrofibrosis of the talocalcaneonavicular joint can follow talar neck fracture especially if anterior approaches have been used for fracture fixation. Capsular release of the talocalcaneonavicular joint is indicated if the painful hindfoot stiffness cannot be controlled with conservative treatment. Open capsular release of the talocalcaneonavicular joint demands extensive soft tissue dissection and hinders early postoperative mobilization exercise of the joint. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a minimally invasive approach of arthroscopic capsular release of the talocalcaneonavicular joint that is composed of arthroscopic release of the talonavicular joint and the anterior subtalar joint. This allows immediate postoperative mobilization of the joint.

Arthroscopic Posterior Capsular Release for Loss of Knee Extension.

Project description:Arthrofibrosis, as a result of osteoarthritis, after trauma, or after knee surgery, can have significant implications for patient function, satisfaction, and outcomes. When extensive conservative management fails to achieve satisfactory results, surgical intervention may be necessary. Arthroscopic techniques to release anterior adhesions are often viewed as easier and safer than posterior releases required for flexion contractures. We present our technique of a safe, effective, and reproducible arthroscopic complete posterior capsulotomy.

Arthroscopic Management of Posteromedial Ankle Impingement.

Project description:Posteromedial ankle impingement is a rare clinical entity. It usually follows an inversion injury, with compression of the posterior tibiotalar ligament between the medial malleolus and talus. This can be treated by posterior ankle endoscopy through the posteromedial and posterolateral portals. The flexor hallucis longus tendon can be examined for any tenosynovitis or tendinopathy. The posteromedial corner of the ankle joint is reached with the instruments staying on the lateral side of the flexor hallucis longus tendon. The inflamed synovium, scar tissue, and fibrillated cartilage are debrided.

Arthroscopic Anterior Elbow Capsular Release Initiated Using Metal Trocar.

Project description:Elbow stiffness occurs as a consequence of multifactorial etiologies and can be broadly classified into either extra-articular or intra-articular contracture. Although nonoperative treatment regimens may prove successful, recalcitrant cases may require operative management. Both open and arthroscopic procedures to address these contractures have been described. Open techniques have historically been the mainstay of surgical management prior to the advent and advancement of arthroscopy. Although often successful, open elbow contracture release introduces added iatrogenic insult to the soft tissue envelope and has the potential to compromise the intraoperatively obtained gains in motion. Arthroscopic contracture release, although not without its own inherent risks, has been shown to be an effective intervention for the release of elbow capsular contractures. Arthroscopic release of the elbow capsule can be challenging, however, because of its thickness and proximity to vital neurovascular structures. The authors describe an adjunctive technique for effectively and efficiently releasing the anterior and posterior capsule under arthroscopic visualization using a 4.5-mm large metal trocar.

Arthroscopic 360° Capsular Release for Adhesive Capsulitis in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Idiopathic adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is a relatively common condition that results in pain and loss of motion due to capsular thickening and fibrosis. Most cases are successfully treated with conservative management including physical therapy and intra-articular steroid injections. If conservative management fails, arthroscopic capsular release allows precise release of thickened capsular tissue with a lower risk of complications and less soft-tissue trauma than manipulation under anesthesia alone. Arthroscopic capsular release in the beach-chair position typically requires some degree of manipulation to release the inferior capsule, which is often not visualized intraoperatively. In this technique article and video, we describe and demonstrate a technique of arthroscopic capsular release in the lateral decubitus position, providing a clear view of the inferior capsule, which facilitates a complete, 360° capsular release and mitigates the need for any manipulation under anesthesia.

Clinical outcomes of arthroscopic pan-capsular release with or without entire coracohumeral ligament release for patients with frozen shoulder.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to retrospectively determine the effects of arthroscopic pan-capsular release with or without entire coracohumeral ligament (CHL) release and diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with frozen shoulder (FS).MethodsThe study included 34 patients (20 male and 14 female patients) who underwent arthroscopic pan-capsular release without entire CHL release (group 1) and 26 patients (6 male and 20 female patients) who underwent entire CHL release for FS (group 2). Patients with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up were included, and range of motion (ROM) and the shoulder rating scale of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) scoring system were evaluated.ResultsIn group 2, external rotation and hand-behind-the-back (HBB) ROMs were significantly increased compared with group 1 at the final follow-up (external rotation, 53.1° ± 15.2° vs. 41.3° ± 20.5° [P = .044]; HBB level, T6 [interquartile range, T5-T9] vs. T11 [interquartile range, T8-L4] [P < .001]). Total UCLA scores and UCLA scores for pain (9.2 ± 1.5 vs. 10.0, P = .003), function (8.5 ± 1.4 vs. 10.0, P < .001), and active forward flexion (4.6 ± 0.6 vs. 4.9 ± 0.2, P < .011) were significantly greater in group 2 at the final follow-up. Patients without DM tended to have greater recovery of forward flexion and HBB ROMs and better total, pain, and function UCLA scores compared with those with DM. In group 2, there were no significant differences in ROMs and UCLA scores between the patients with DM and those without DM.ConclusionArthroscopic entire CHL release is an essential treatment option for FS patients to regain ROMs and function and to reduce pain.

Cam Impingement of the Knee: Arthroscopic Correction of Posteromedial Tibiofemoral Incongruence.

Project description:One of the anatomic variations observable within the knee joint is a reduction in the posterior curvature of the femoral metaphysis proximal to the medial femoral condyle. This curvature is usually concave enough to fit the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (PHMM) during full knee flexion. A reduction in curvature may result in posteromedial tibiofemoral incongruence, a condition characterized by compression of the PHMM in full knee flexion, similar to cam incongruence in the hip joint. Clinical symptoms may occur in deep knee flexion, and progressive degeneration of the PHMM can be observed if this position is not prohibited. For patients in whom activity modification and conservative treatment have failed, surgery may be indicated. We describe arthroscopic treatment allowing for final intraoperative confirmation of the clinical indication for posteromedial tibiofemoral incongruence correction, as well as allowing for the least possible, yet sufficient, amount of correction.
