Anteromedial Portal Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Tibialis Anterior Allograft.

ABSTRACT: In an effort to better restore normal joint function and kinematics, recent emphasis has been placed on surgical techniques that provide a more anatomic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). With femoral tunnel placement shown to play a vital role in the biomechanics, stability, and clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction, approaches that better approximate the ACL's native femoral origin have been adopted. The independent anteromedial portal technique is thought to better position the femoral tunnel within the native ACL footprint and leave the graft more posteroinferior on the wall of the lateral femoral condyle than the more traditional transtibial approach. This article outlines the surgical technique for an anteromedial portal ACL reconstruction with a tibialis anterior allograft fixed with the Mitek Femoral and Tibial Intrafix sheath and screw system (DePuy Synthes, Raynham, MA).

Anatomic Femoral and Tibial Tunnel Placement During Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Anteromedial Portal All-Inside and Outside-In Techniques.

Project description:Tunnel malposition is one of the most common technical reasons for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure. Small changes in tunnel placement can result in significant differences in outcome. More anatomic placement of the tunnels can lead to greater knee stability and a more accurate reproduction of native knee kinematics. This Technical Note describes 2 tibial tunnel-independent methods to obtain anatomic femoral tunnel placement. The all-inside anteromedial portal technique requires only minimal surgical incisions but allows precise femoral tunnel placement. However, hyperflexion of the knee is required, adequate surgical assistance is necessary, and this technique may be susceptible to graft-tunnel mismatch. The outside-in technique may be more beneficial in obese patients, skeletally immature patients, or revision cases. On the downside, it does require an additional 2-cm surgical incision. This article also provides surgical pearls to fine-tune tibial tunnel placement.

Technique for Arthroscopic-Assisted Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Doubled Tibialis Anterior Tendon.

Project description:Advances in surgical technique and our knowledge of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) anatomy have resulted in a marked increase in options for ACL reconstruction. Currently, patient age and activity level, surgeon preference and experience, and cost are factors influencing the type of reconstruction recommended to address knee instability. We present a simplified transtibial method of ACL reconstruction using a single-bundle, doubled tibialis anterior allograft. This method uses fixation with a suspensory device on the femur and a bio-composite interference screw on the tibia. We recommend this simplified technique for primary ACL reconstruction because it minimizes total steps, thus limiting variance, maximizing efficiency, and reducing potential technical error.

A Prospective, Double-Blind Evaluation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Tibialis Tendon Allograft: Donor Age Does Not Alter Outcomes.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the effect of graft donor age on outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with nonirradiated, fresh-frozen tibialis tendon allografts.MethodsThis prospective, randomized, double-blind, single surgeon, 2-year follow-up study enrolled 40 patients (28 female, 12 male who underwent ACL reconstruction with tibialis tendon allografts. Results were compared with historical outcomes for allografts from donors aged 18 to 70 years. Analysis was determined by Group A (<50 years) and Group B (>50 years). Objective and subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) forms, KT-1000 testing, and Lysholm scores were used for the evaluation.ResultsFollow-up on average of 24 months was completed in 37 patients (92.5%; Group A = 17, Group B = 20). Average patient age at surgery for Group A was 42.1 years (range 27-54) and Group B was 41.7 years (range 24-56). None of the patients required additional surgery during the initial 2-year follow-up. At 2-year follow-up, there were no significant differences in subjective outcomes. IKDC objective ratings for Group A were A-15 and B-2, and Group B were A-19 and B-1 (P = .45). Average IKDC subjective scores for Group A were 86.1 (± 16.2) and Group B were 84.1 (± 15.6) (P = .70). KT-1000 side to side differences for Group A were 0-4, 1-10, and 2-2, and Group B were 0-2, 1-10, 2-6 (P = .28). Average Lysholm scores for Group A were 91.4 (± 16.7) and Group B were 88.1 (± 12.3) (P = .49).ConclusionsDonor age was not associated with clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction using nonirradiated, fresh-frozen tibialis tendon allografts.Level of evidenceII, prospective prognostic trial.

Allograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Utilizing Internal Brace Augmentation.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common sports-related injuries. Although studies have reported reliable outcomes with allograft tissue, several studies have shown a higher failure rate in younger patients. Although ACL graft augmentation has been met with varying levels of success, internal bracing of an allograft represents a promising area in ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to detail allograft preparation involving a collagen-coated, ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene/polyester suture tape as an internal brace augmentation for ACL reconstruction using the all-inside ACL GraftLink Technique (Arthrex, Naples, FL).

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Preservation: The Single-Anteromedial Bundle Biological Augmentation (SAMBBA) Technique.

Project description:Preservation of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant during ACL reconstruction has the advantages of improved vascularity and synovial encircling of the graft tendon. We describe a technique called single-anteromedial bundle biological augmentation (SAMBBA) using complete preservation of the ACL remnant, as well as preservation of the semitendinosus tibial insertion, that uses standard portals and equipment.

Two-Stage Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Allograft Bone Dowels.

Project description:Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is substantially more challenging than primary reconstruction. Management of previously malpositioned or widened tunnels often requires innovative approaches for managing bony defects. Massive osteolysis with poor bone stock and convergence or overlapping of revision tunnels into the previously placed tunnels may necessitate a staged revision procedure. In this surgical technique description, we describe a method for the management of bony deficiencies using allograft bone dowels in staged revision ACL reconstruction.

Concomitant Arthroscopic Meniscal Allograft Transplantation and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:In recent decades, arthroscopic meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has been refined as a robust option for the treatment of evolving unicompartmental tibiofemoral arthrosis in the setting of meniscal deficiency. It is imperative that the MAT be performed in a knee with anatomic stability and alignment to reduce aberrant biomechanical forces experienced by the allograft tissue to maintain its durability. Thus, in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) must be performed to restore the stable knee environment for the MAT to succeed. Although these operations can be performed in staged fashion, a single-stage procedure with concomitant MAT and ACLR is an option. Its performance is technically demanding and requires careful consideration as to the intraoperative setup, incisions, graft options, surgical tools, and procedural order to properly secure the transplanted meniscal allograft and restore a functional, anatomic ACL. We present our preferred technique for concomitant arthroscopic MAT and ACLR, as well as some potential pitfalls and pearls to avoid pitfalls.

Nanoscopic-Assisted Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Knee arthroscopy has allowed us to continue performing surgeries that are minimally invasive and allow patients to have a quick recovery. Multiligamentous knee reconstruction with regards to the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament can be done in a minimally invasive matter. Visualization is an issue during this surgery, especially looking in the posterior compartment of the knee. The NanoScope (Arthrex, Naples, FL) continues to provide increased possibilities for orthopaedic surgeons. Our technique provides a less-invasive way to observe the posterior compartment to assist the drilling of the tibial tunnel during the posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This technique provides distinct advantages over other treatments.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Achilles Tendon Allograft.

Project description:Approaches to management of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and high-grade medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries remain controversial. Some studies suggest that with grade III MCL injuries, patients may benefit from concurrent MCL reconstruction to restore stability and prevent increased stress on the ACL graft. We present a technique for simultaneous ACL/MCL reconstructions using a single Achilles tendon allograft.

Combined Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Mimicking Anterolateral Structure Reconstruction.

Project description:The outcomes of double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction leave room for improvement. We hope to augment double-bundle ACL reconstruction with the reconstruction of an ACL-mimicking anterolateral structure (ALS). Thus, we would like to introduce a combined double-bundle ACL reconstruction and ACL-mimicking ALS reconstruction technique. The main indication for this technique is ACL injury with a high degree of pivot shift test, general laxity, or near critical value of the posterior tibial slope. The main steps in this technique include preparation of an isolated graft for the anteromedial bundle of the ACL and a combined graft for the posterolateral bundle of the ACL and ALS, creation of three tibial tunnels and two femoral tunnels, graft placement, and final graft fixation at an adjustable loop. We have obtained promising clinical outcomes with this technique and consider that this report will provide new options in ACL reconstruction.
