Lateral Capsular Fixation: An Implant-Free Technique to Prevent Meniscal Allograft Extrusion.

ABSTRACT: Although several surgical techniques have been described to perform meniscal allograft transplantation with good clinical results and although different methods of capsular stabilization can be found in the literature, there is no standard surgical technique to prevent a common complication in the most of series: the tendency to a radial displacement or extrusion of the transplanted menisci. We present a simple, reproducible, and implant-free technique to perform a lateral capsular fixation (capsulodesis) at the time of only the soft-tissue fixation technique of meniscal allograft transplantation in an effort to reduce or prevent the risk of graft extrusion. Using a minimum of two 2.4-mm tunnels drilled from the contralateral side of the tibia with the help of a regular tibial anterior cruciate ligament guide, a capsular attachment to the lateral tibial plateau is obtained.

Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation: The Bone Trough Technique.

Project description:The lateral meniscus plays a critical role in the stability and health of the knee. Treating patients who have undergone a total lateral meniscectomy or functional equivalent is challenging, especially young and active patients. Current literature regarding meniscal tears supports that repair should be the first surgical option. Moreover, it is recommended to preserve as much meniscal tissue as possible. In cases in which a total or functional meniscectomy is a pre-existing condition, a lateral meniscal allograft transplantation is a possible option. The purpose of this surgical technique description was to detail the method of lateral meniscal allograft transplantation using a bone trough.

Bone Trough Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation: The Tapered Teardrop Technique.

Project description:The meniscus plays a vital role in knee biomechanics, and its physical absence or functional incompetence (e.g., irreparable root or radial tear) leads to unacceptably high rates of joint degeneration in affected populations. Meniscal allograft transplantation has been used successfully to treat patients with postmeniscectomy syndrome, and there is early laboratory and radiographic evidence hinting at a potential prophylactic role in preventing joint degeneration. We present a technique for lateral meniscal allograft transplantation using the CONMED Meniscal Allograft Transplantation system.

Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With the Key-Hole Technique.

Project description:The efficacy of meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) for the meniscus-deficient knee has been widely recognized as being excellent in terms of pain relief and functional improvement. Lateral MAT is usually performed with the bone bridge technique that uses a bone bridge connecting the anterior and posterior horns of an allograft. The slot position for the meniscal graft insertion is of great importance with the bone bridge technique, especially in the key-hole method. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe lateral MAT using the key-hole technique in which an allograft with a bone bridge carved to accommodate the key-hole-shaped slot is properly secured to the slot.

Implant-Free, Transtibial, Bone Bridge Fixation for Knee Surgery Including Tibial Spine and Meniscal Root Fixation.

Project description:Fixation over bone bridge is commonly performed during transosseous pullout knee surgeries. This technique requires the drilling of 2 bony tunnels separately. Herein, we describe our technique in which bone bridge fixation is performed with a single bony tunnel. Our technique is described in 4 simple steps. Step 1: A short accessory tunnel is created from a point at least 1 cm away from the aperture of primary bone tunnel and opening into the lumen of the primary tunnel. Step 2: A shuttle suture (PROLENE) loop is passed from the accessory tunnel to the primary tunnel, and the loop is retrieved out of the primary tunnel using an 18-G epidural needle and arthroscopy probe. Step 3: Complimentary limbs of the pullout suture is then shuttled through the accessory tunnel using shuttle suture loop. Step 4: The knots are tied over the intervening bone bridge. Since the sutures are tied over the bone bridge, it has to be strong enough to provide support. This method of fixation is contraindicated when there is severe osteoporosis or if the tunnels are located in metaphysis. A supplemental video demonstration of the technique is included with this article.

Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With Soft Tissue in Bone Socket Fixation: Arthroscopic Technique With Technical Pearls.

Project description:Meniscal allograft transplantation may slow the progression of degenerative changes in the meniscus-deficient knee. The current literature suggests patients can experience good early to mid-term satisfaction and patient-reported outcomes with reasonable expectations of return to work. More ambitious applications in athletes have also shown good results although long-term data are lacking. Traditionally, meniscal allograft transplantation has been considered an open procedure with incorporation of bone blocks from the allograft source. However, as arthroscopic techniques have advanced, it has become possible to perform this procedure through a predominantly arthroscopic approach while securing the soft tissue graft in bone tunnels. The current demonstration provides this background and technical pearls for success in arthroscopic meniscal allograft transplantation.

Sonographic evaluation of lateral meniscal extrusion: implementation and validation.

Project description:IntroductionMeniscal extrusion (ME) is an important indicator of and prognostic factor for various knee pathologies. To date, no standardized protocol for the ultrasound-based examination of lateral ME exists. The purpose of the present study was to test the reliability and validity of lateral ME measurements using a standardized ultrasound-based examination protocol.Materials and methodsA group consisting of 11 healthy volunteers (Group I, male and female, 18-45 years) as well as a group of 10 consecutive patients who had undergone all-inside lateral meniscal radial tear repair were included (Group II, male and female, 23-43 years). Lateral ME, the main outcome parameter, was measured by ultrasound (US; both groups) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; Group II only). Both knees of all subjects were examined in an unloaded state and under axial compression of the knee (50% of body weight). Repeated measurements obtained in Group I by 2 observers were used for reliability testing, and the validity of US was assessed through comparison with MRI data (Group II).ResultsA total of 66 US images of Group I, obtained by each observer, were analyzed for reliability testing. Forty US and MR images of Group II were assessed for validation. Results showed good interrater (ICC = 0.904) and excellent intrarater (ICC = 0.942) reliability of US-based measurements of lateral ME. Agreement with MRI results was poor (ICC = 0.439), with US systematically overestimating results by 1.1 mm on average.ConclusionsUltrasound is a reliable, quick and cost-effective technique for lateral ME measurement, but results are not readily comparable with MRI.Trial registrationThe study was registered in the European Union Clinical Trials Register (EudraCT-Number: 2017-005037-24).

Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplant: Dovetail Bone Bridge Preparation.

Project description:Meniscal tears are among the most common knee injuries encountered by an orthopaedic surgeon. Once treated with total meniscectomy, meniscal preservation is now the standard of care. Not all meniscal tears are repairable, and meniscal allograft transplantation has become an integral part of the preservation algorithm. This procedure is often recommended in a young active patient with healthy articular cartilage who has undergone a previous subtotal or total meniscectomy. There are many surgical methods for meniscal allograft transplantation, and the bone bridge technique has shown good improvement in outcome scores and good long-term survival. We describe our preferred technique for preparation of the dovetail bone bridge meniscal allograft for lateral meniscal allograft transplantation.

Osteochondral Proximal Tibial and Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplant.

Project description:Knee pain in young, active patients with meniscus-deficient knees and articular cartilage damage can present a challenge to treatment. Meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has shown good clinical results as treatment for meniscus deficiency; however, worse outcomes have been observed in patients with significant chondral damage. The development of chondral restorative techniques such as osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) has expanded the population of patients who may benefit from MAT. We present a case of proximal tibial osteochondral and lateral meniscal allograft transplant. This review includes a sample of patient examinations and imaging, followed by a detailed technical description of the case. The technique article concludes with a discussion on the niche combined MAT-OCA procedures occupy in the patient treatment realm.

Association between postoperative meniscal extrusion and clinical outcomes of the pullout fixation technique for medial meniscus posterior root tear.

Project description:Objective:To evaluate the correlation between meniscal extrusion in the coronal plane with clinical and radiological outcomes at a minimum of 1 year after transtibial pullout fixation for medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT). Methods:Data from 30 patients (five males, 25 females) with MMPRT who underwent arthroscopic root fixation by the transtibial pullout technique between 2011 and January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The mean patient age was 60.7 ± 8.3years. The median time between injury and surgery was 3.8 months (range, 0.5-15 months). Medial meniscus radial displacement was assessed on magnetic resonance imaging performed preoperatively and at 1 year after fixation. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence on magnetic resonance imaging of decreased meniscal extrusion (group A) or increased meniscal extrusion (group B) at 1 year postoperatively compared with preoperatively. The two groups were compared regarding factors including age at surgery, sex, body mass index, time between injury and surgery, and the Lysholm score and Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively. Results:There were seven knees in group A, and 23 in group B. Both groups had a significantly improved Lysholm score postoperatively compared with preoperatively (p < 0.001). Although the postoperative K-L grade was significantly worse than the preoperative K-L grade in group B (p < 0.001), the postoperative K-L grade did not worsen postoperatively in group A. Conclusion:The K-L grade did not worsen postoperatively in the group with decreased meniscal extrusion at 1 year after transtibial pullout fixation for MMPRT compared with preoperatively.

Free hand technique of cervical lateral mass screw fixation.

Project description:We introduce a simple free hand technique with great ease of application, without angles, measures or degrees, and without any fluoroscopic guidance. It is a safe and reproducible technique. We present our preliminary experience with the use this technique, with inimitable simplicity.The primary aim of the procedure was to achieve adequate screw trajectory in an apparent challenging ease which is reproducible with a good outcome.Lateral mass screw fixation is used for posterior subaxial cervical fixation. It was described by Louis and Magerl, then by Anderson, An, and Ebraheim et al. Each one described the procedure with a unique screw entrance point and trajectory.This study is a prospective case study of 45 patients who underwent subaxial cervical lateral mass screw fixation. The screws were inserted using a free hand method. The described free hand technique was found to minimize the morbidity associated with other techniques without compromising the quality of fixation.Surgical experiences with this technique found it equally safe, rapid, easy, and reproducible.
