Posterior Ankle Arthroscopic Reduction With Internal Fixation.

ABSTRACT: Current surgical techniques in ankle fracture management now include arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation. The need for minimally invasive fracture reduction techniques, which preserve soft tissue envelops and assists in overall anatomic reduction, can be refined and improved. The ankle is an ideal anatomic location for arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation due to the high incidence of intra-articular pathology and the poor long-term sequela of nonanatomic reduction. Thus, we propose using prone posterior ankle arthroscopic reduction internal fixation for posterior ankle fracture variants.

Arthroscopically Assisted Open Reduction-Internal Fixation of Ankle Fractures: Significance of the Arthroscopic Ankle Drive-through Sign.

Project description:Standalone open reduction-internal fixation (ORIF) of unstable ankle fractures is the current standard of care. Intraoperative stress radiographs are useful for assessing the extent of ligamentous disruption, but arthroscopic visualization has been shown to be more accurate. Concomitant arthroscopy at the time of ankle fracture ORIF is useful for accurately diagnosing and managing syndesmotic and deltoid ligament injuries. The arthroscopic ankle drive-through sign is characterized by the ability to pass a 2.9-mm shaver (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA) easily through the medial ankle gutter during arthroscopy, which is not usually possible with both an intact deltoid ligament and syndesmosis. This arthroscopic maneuver indicates instability after ankle reduction and fixation and is predictive of the need for further stabilization. Furthermore, when this sign remains positive after fracture fixation, it may guide the surgeon to further evaluate the adequacy of fixation for the possible need for further fixation of the syndesmosis or deltoid. We present the case of an ankle fracture managed with arthroscopy-assisted ORIF and describe the clinical utility of the arthroscopic ankle drive-through sign.

Tibial Plateau With Arthroscopic Reduction-Internal Fixation.

Project description:Arthroscopic-assisted internal fixation is an ideal technique for visualizing chondral reduction during tibial open reduction-internal fixation. Typically, open reduction-internal fixation is performed using radiographic and Fluoroscan imaging (Hologic, Bedford, MA) for reduction of subchondral bone. However, reduction without visualization does not ensure chondral surface reduction. This Technical Note and supplemental video describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique involving the tibial plateau that gives complete visualization as tamping occurs to restore the cartilage surface of the subchondral bone and elevate the fracture.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Using an Adjustable-Length Loop Device.

Project description:A displaced avulsion fracture at the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament is considered an indication for surgical reduction and internal fixation because nonunion and remaining posterior instability of the knee are common consequences of conservative treatment. The problems with standard open surgical techniques are that they are relatively invasive despite the limited operative field and it is impossible to explore intra-articular lesions by the posterior approach. An arthroscopic procedure has the advantage of being minimally invasive and allowing the surgeon to detect and treat associated intra-articular injuries. We present an arthroscopic reduction-internal fixation technique using an adjustable-length loop device. A trans-septal portal is created to visualize the fracture fragment directly, and the fragment is reduced and penetrated with a cannulated drill under fluoroscopic guidance. An adjustable-length loop device is relayed from the posteromedial portal and pulled out through the fragment in an anterograde fashion, placing a button on top of the fragment. By tightening the loop, downward compression can be applied to the fragment. Overall, this technique provides good reduction and bone union, and excellent clinical outcomes, including posterior knee stability, can be achieved.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of a Rim Fracture.

Project description:Femoroacetabular impingement is uncommonly associated to a rim fracture. Complete resection of the fragment might result in iatrogenic instability or poor femoral head coverage. In this report, we describe the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic partial resection of a rim fracture, reduction and internal fixation of the remaining fragment to correct the impingement, and preserve the adequate acetabular coverage.

ORV Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of Tibial Eminence Fractures.

Project description:Tibial eminence fractures are an uncommon but well-described avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament. Treatment principles are based on the amount and pattern of fracture displacement. Management has evolved from closed reduction and immobilization to arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation followed by early rehabilitation. Various fixation methods have evolved, ranging from arthroscopic reduction and percutaneous screw fixation to arthroscopic suture repair. We present a technique for arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation using a cannulated drill bit and high-strength suture. This technique facilitates anatomic reduction with uncomplicated tunnel placement and suture passing in an effort to allow strong fixation and early rehabilitation.

Arthroscopic Posterior Ankle Ligament Anatomy.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this article is to document the normal arthroscopic appearance of the posterior ankle capsular and ligamentous structures, and variations in their anatomical relationships.Methods102 ankle arthroscopy videotapes were evaluated retrospectively for the configuration of the posterior capsuloligamentous structures. Based on these observations, the variations in the appearance and position of the posterior tibiofibular ligament (PTFL) and transverse (tibiofibular) ligament (TTFL) were documented. In addition, differences in the appearance of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) were also noted.ResultsAll patients had evidence of both a PTFL and TTFL, which formed a labrum or meniscus-like addition to the posterior distal tibia. No patients demonstrated disruption of the PTFL; 3 had tears of the TTFL. We noted 4 distinct patterns of the PTFL and the TTFL. Thirty-four patients (33%) had a gap of ≥2 mm between the 2 ligamentous structures. Thirty-three (32.4%) had a gap <2 mm between the PTFL and TTFL. Twenty-six (25.5%) had a confluence of the 2 ligaments without a gap. Nine (9%) demonstrated a sizable gap between the 2 ligaments, and the TTFL appeared as a "cord-like" structure.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first article to describe the variations in the arthroscopic normal posterior capsuloligamentous structures and FHL of the ankle.Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of Proximal Humerus Greater Tuberosity Fracture.

Project description:Proximal humerus fractures are common fractures that may occur after ground level falls or other traumatic events resulting in a direct injury to the shoulder. Depending on the fracture morphology and the age of the patient, anatomic reduction can vastly improve outcomes, especially in fracture patterns that involve the greater tuberosity. In this case example, we performed a minimally invasive, arthroscopic reduction and fixation of a proximal humerus fracture that involved significant displacement of the greater tuberosity. The technique employed is reproducible and avoids the morbidity of a large open incision while simultaneously providing compression of the fracture fragment for excellent healing potential.
