Identification of the Anterolateral Ligament on Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Studies continue to demonstrate the importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) as a secondary restraint in rotational stability of the knee. No clinical exam exists to reliably test the ALL. Advanced imaging allows the surgeon to reliably identify the ALL as an independent structure of the lateral knee. This technique paper provides a reproducible method for identification of the ALL on 3T magnetic resonance imaging based on previously conducted cadaveric dissections of the ligament.

Arthroscopic Identification of the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee.

Project description:Intense interest has focused on the recent description of the anterolateral ligament of the knee. Advancing knowledge of its anatomy and function is leading to a realization of its importance in the rotatory control of the tibia in anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Reconstruction of this structure will increasingly become an important goal during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, preoperative assessment of this ligament is difficult. Clinical assessment of rotatory laxity has poor reproducibility, and it is difficult to define using current imaging techniques. This article is the first to describe a safe and reproducible arthroscopic technique to allow identification and examination of the anterolateral ligament of the knee. With the knee at 90° of flexion, the arthroscope is introduced through the anterolateral portal to allow clear visualization of the lateral gutter. Under direct vision, an accessory portal is made over the inferior limit of the lateral gutter. A shaver is then introduced through this portal and used to debride this synovial recess and define the anterolateral ligament. This allows the surgeon to examine the integrity of the anterolateral ligament, in particular its femoral insertion. If required, this additional information can facilitate the performance of a more accurate and effective extra-articular reconstruction.

Review of magnetic resonance imaging features of complications after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Project description:The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important stabiliser of the knee and is commonly torn in sports injuries. Common indications for imaging after ACL reconstruction include persistent symptoms, limitation of motion and re-injury. Important postoperative complications include graft failure, impingement, arthrofibrosis and graft degeneration. This article aimed to familiarise the radiologist with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appearances of properly positioned intact ACL grafts and to provide a comprehensive review of MR imaging features of complications following ACL reconstruction.

Preoperative diagnosis of knee cartilage, meniscal, and ligament injuries by magnetic resonance imaging.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of the study was to report on the current accuracy measures specific to 1.5-Tesla MRI of the knee in the patient population prone to injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the menisci, and the articular cartilage.MethodsWe accrued patients between January 2018 through August 2021 who underwent a preoperative MRI and were diagnosed with an articular cartilage injury either due to unevenness of articular cartilage in T2-weighted sequences or due to the irregularity of subchondral bone in T1-weighted sequences. All patients were treated arthroscopically. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated for the detection of ACL, meniscus, and cartilage injuries. A P-value of < 0.05 represented statistical significance.ResultsOne-hundred and forty-seven cases which included 150 knee joints were enrolled in this study. The mean age at the time of surgery was 42.9 years-old. The sensitivity in the diagnosis of ACL injuries was significantly greater than that in the diagnosis of cartilage injuries (P = 0.0083). The ratios of the equality of operative indication in 6 recipient sites were found to be between 90.0% and 96.0%. The diagnostic critical point was within a 1 cm in diameter.ConclusionThe diagnostic sensitivity in cartilage injuries was significantly lower than ones of ACL and meniscal injuries. The ratios of the equality of operative indication was determined to be between 90.0% and 96.0%, if we consider the unevenness of articular cartilage or the irregularity of subchondral bone.Level of evidenceLevel III, Prospective diagnostic cohort study.

The STEMRI trial: magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging can define tumor areas enriched in glioblastoma-stem-like cells

Project description:Despite maximally-safe resection of the MRI-defined contrast-enhanced (CE) central tumor area and chemo-radiotherapy, most glioblastoma patients relapse within one year in peritumor FLAIR regions. Spectroscopic MRI (MRSI) can discriminate metabolic tumor areas with higher recurrence potential as CNI+ regions (Choline/N-acetyl-aspartate Index>2) can predict relapse sites. As relapses are mainly imputed to glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSC), CNI+ areas might be GSC-enriched. We conducted a prospective trial in 16 GBM patients subjected to preoperative MRSI/MRI and surgery/chemo-radiotherapy to investigate GSC content in CNI+ versus CNI- biopsies from CE/FLAIR. Biopsy characterization by RNAseq revealed that FLAIR/CNI+ areas were enriched in stem-related gene signature, but also in pathways related to DNA repair, adhesion/migration and mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Despite technologic advances in the surgical technique for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, some patients continue to have rotational instability postoperatively. Recently, authors have reported the anatomic and functional characteristics of the anterolateral ligament (ALL), a structure that originates near the lateral epicondyle on the femur and inserts on the tibia between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibular head. Recent biomechanical studies have shown the ALL is an important stabilizer against anterolateral tibial rotation, and its reconstruction has shown excellent initial clinical results. Several techniques have been developed to try to anatomically address this structure in the setting of an ACL reconstruction. This article details a simple anatomic technique to reconstruct the ACL and the ALL of the knee using hamstring tendon autograft and maintaining the semitendinosus insertion.

Merlin S13 phosphorylation controls meningioma Wnt signaling and magnetic resonance imaging features

Project description:Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors and are associated with inactivation of the tumor suppressor NF2/Merlin, but one-third of meningiomas retain Merlin expression and typically have favorable clinical outcomes. Biochemical mechanisms underlying Merlin-intact meningioma growth are incompletely understood, and non-invasive biomarkers that predict meningioma outcomes and could be used to guide treatment de-escalation or imaging surveillance of Merlin-intact meningiomas are lacking. Here we integrate single-cell RNA sequencing, proximity-labeling proteomic mass spectrometry, mechanistic and functional approaches, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) across meningioma cells, xenografts, and human patients to define biochemical mechanisms and an imaging biomarker that distinguish Merlin-intact meningiomas with favorable clinical outcomes from meningiomas with unfavorable clinical outcomes. We find Merlin drives meningioma Wnt signaling and tumor growth through a feed-forward mechanism that requires Merlin dephosphorylation on serine 13 (S13) to attenuate inhibitory interactions with β-catenin and activate the Wnt pathway. Meningioma MRI analyses of xenografts and human patients show Merlin-intact meningiomas with S13 phosphorylation and favorable clinical outcomes are associated with high apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on diffusionweighted imaging. In sum, our results shed light on Merlin posttranslational modifications that regulate meningioma Wnt signaling and tumor growth in tumors without NF2/Merlin inactivation. To translate these findings to clinical practice, we establish a non-invasive imaging biomarker that could be used to guide treatment de-escalation or imaging surveillance for patients with favorable meningiomas.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:There has been a renewed interest in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairs over the last decade with some early promising results in the right patient population. Additionally, the anterolateral ligament has been extensively studied and has recently been shown to have a protective effect on standard ACL reconstructions in a clinical trial. Given its protective effect on ACL reconstructions, we believe this phenomenon is also relevant to ACL repairs and can decrease rerupture rates. In this publication, we demonstrate a surgical technique for ACL repair using an internal brace combined with an anterolateral ligament reconstruction using a gracilis autograft.

Surgical Dissection of the Anterolateral Ligament.

Project description:Recent investigations into the structure and function of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) have resulted in renewed interest in the role of the lateral extra-articular structures in rotational control of the knee. With increased focus on the ALL, debate about the anatomic characteristics, the functional role in knee stability, and even the existence of this lateral structure has ensued. This article describes our dissection method for the ALL. Through careful dissection and precise elevation of the iliotibial band, the ALL can be clearly identified as a distinct structure with an attachment near the lateral epicondyle on the femur and an insertion in a fan-like fashion onto the tibia, between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibular head. This investigation provides the surgeon with anatomic landmarks to use during surgical reconstruction of the ALL.
