Pectoralis Major Repair With Unicortical Button Fixation And Suture Tape.

ABSTRACT: Although injuries of the pectoralis major muscle are generally uncommon, ruptures of the pectoralis major are occasionally seen in younger, more active patients who participate in weightlifting activities. These injuries usually occur during maximal contraction of the muscle, while in extension and external rotation. In the case of a rupture, operative treatment is advocated especially in young, active patients regardless of the chronicity of the injury. Various surgical techniques for reattachment of the avulsed tendon have been described, but bone tunnel and suture anchor repair techniques are most widely used. In this Technical Note, we present our preferred technique for acute pectoralis major rupture repair involving use of cortical buttons for tendon stump-to-bone fixation.

Pectoralis major muscle rupture repair: technique using unicortical buttons.

Project description:Over the past few decades, there has been increased awareness of pectoralis major muscle injuries necessitating further evaluation of management options and, in particular, surgical repair. Injury typically occurs when an eccentric load is applied to the muscle, such as with bench pressing, and failure usually occurs through the tendon. Although nonoperative management is sometimes appropriate, given the injury's propensity for young, active male patients, surgical intervention is often warranted. Because the injury typically occurs at the muscle-tendon interface, surgery focuses on repair of the avulsed tendon into its anatomic attachment site. We describe the use of a unicortical suture button to repair the ruptured tendon. This technique achieves the goals of strong fixation and anatomic repair of the tendon back into its native footprint.

Pectoralis major repair with cortical button technique.

Project description:Pectoralis major tendon ruptures can lead to significant functional deficits that affect high-level athletic and labor-intensive activities. In active populations operative repair of the ruptured pectoralis major tendon has shown significant advantages over nonoperative treatment. We describe a novel surgical technique for pectoralis major repair with tension button fixation. This study included 12 recreational athletes and 2 professional athletes. The initial results were measured subjectively after a minimum of 6 months by the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and the ability to return to the patient's sport at a preinjury level. Objectively, strength was measured with resisted horizontal adduction of the arm for both repaired and contralateral sides. Of the 12 recreational patients, 8 returned to their sport at preinjury levels, and the 2 professional athletes returned to their sport at full capacity in the National Football League. The mean Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score was 87, and the mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores were 99 for both the operative and contralateral sides. Isokinetic strength testing showed no significant differences between the operative and nonoperative sides. Patients with pectoralis major tendons repaired with the proposed tensioned cortical button technique had excellent results. This new technique provides a reliable method of repair in an efficient and safe manner.

Proximal Patellar Tendon Repair: Internal Brace Technique With Unicortical Buttons and Suture Tape.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures may be considerably limiting, especially in younger and highly active patients. These injuries ultimately result in a complete inability to maintain extension of the knee, thereby placing strict impediment on physical activity. As a result, a durable repair construct via surgery is necessary to allow patients to return to their preinjury activity level. Because of the inherent difficulty in maintaining patellar tendon position after repair, and to avoid failure of the tendon healing to the patella, we recommend using an internal brace construct. The construct uses bone tunnels in the patella and also cortical buttons on the tibia with suture tape whipstitched through the tendon. We feel that this provides an enhanced fixation construct. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred method for proximal patellar tendon repair via an internal brace construct with unicortical buttons and suture tape.

Arthroscopic Acromioclavicular Fixation With Suture Tape Augmentation After Coracoclavicular Fixation With Dog Bone Button: Surgical Technique.

Project description:An arthroscopic technique for the surgical treatment of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries is presented in this study. This procedure aims to achieve both vertical and horizontal stability through the healing of both coracoclavicular (CC) and AC ligaments. As a routine maneuver, arthroscopic CC stabilization was applied using the dog bone button to obtain only vertical stability. Additional arthroscopic AC joint fixation with suture tape augmentation is simple and easy and provides a safe technique to achieve horizontal stability of the joint and to increase the vertical stability to minimize the complications of standard CC reconstruction techniques.

Patellar Fracture Fixation Using Suture Tape Cerclage.

Project description:Transverse patellar fractures are a relatively common injury and typically require surgical fixation. An adequate restoration of patella integrity is essential for proper functioning of the extensor mechanism of the knee and for the prevention of patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Currently, the treatment of transverse fractures of the patellar bone involves several surgical techniques, most of which involve the use of metallic implants. Despite good clinical results following surgery, numerous complications exist, including primarily symptomatic hardware following surgical treatment. The purpose of this article is to describe the technique for treatment of a transverse patellar fracture using a high-resistance tape (FiberTape; Arthrex) and a tensioner (Arthrex) instead of traditional metallic implants.

Arthroscopic Anatomic Coracoclavicular Ligament Repair Using a 6-Strand Polyester Suture Tape and Cortical Button Construct.

Project description:Acromioclavicular separations are common injuries. Low-grade separations are typically managed with nonoperative treatment. However, surgical treatment is recommended for high-grade separations, as well as for chronic low-grade separations that remain symptomatic. Multiple fixation techniques have been described over the past several decades, including Kirschner wires, hook plates, and coracoclavicular screws. More recently, a single-tunnel suture-graft repair and an anatomic reconstruction reproducing both the conoid and trapezoid ligaments have been described. All described techniques have reported complications, including implant migration, need for implant removal, clavicle or coracoid fracture, and loss of reduction. As a result, there is no single optimal method of operative fixation. We describe our technique for an arthroscopically assisted anatomic coracoclavicular repair using a 6-strand suture tape and cortical button construct.

Posterolateral Corner Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:The posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee is the main restraint to varus forces of the knee as well as posterolateral rotation of the tibia relative to the femur. Primary PLC repairs have been associated with a high failure rate in past literature. However, with modern improved arthroscopic instrumentation and devices, there has been a renewed interest in repair of the ligaments around the knee. Internal bracing with suture tape augmentation encourages healing and allows early mobilization. This article describes, with video illustration, PLC repair with suture tape augmentation.

Anterolateral Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:Recent insights into the structure and function of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee has resulted in a recognition of its contribution in rotational control of the knee. Several ALL reconstruction techniques have been described in the literature. This article describes, with video illustration, a percutaneous repair technique using suture tape augmentation. A tendon graft is not needed. This technique allows early mobilization and encourages natural healing of the ligament by protecting the ligament during the healing phase as a secondary stabilizer.

Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:The most common injury sustained to the ankle ligaments is a result of inversion of the foot. This mechanism results in injury to the anterior talofibular ligament alone or in conjunction with the calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament. Patients experiencing recurrent ankle sprains despite nonoperative measures often require surgical management. Recent focus has been on augmentation procedures to improve the stability of a lateral ankle ligament repair by protecting it during the healing phase and supporting early mobilization. This article describes, with video illustration, anterior talofibular ligament repair with suture tape augmentation.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the main restraining force in the first 20° of flexion against lateral patellar displacement and is disrupted after patellar subluxation or dislocation. MPFL reconstruction is frequently performed when conservative management fails and the patient has recurrent patellar dislocations. However, a variety of complications have been reported in the literature with this procedure. Internal bracing with suture tape augmentation encourages healing and allows early mobilization. This article describes, with video illustration, MPFL repair with suture tape augmentation.
