Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation Using a Posterior Trans-septal Portal.

ABSTRACT: We describe a surgical technique for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation of the original PCL fibers using a posterior trans-septal portal approach. Using the transtibial technique and the posterior trans-septal portal approach allows good visualization of the tibial tunnel preparation, easy access to the tibial tunnel without neurovascular injury, and preservation of remnant PCL fibers. In the preparation of the tibial tunnel, we expose the PCL tibial attachment site completely, detach the posterior capsule from the PCL, and preserve the distal stump of the PCL without neurovascular injury. PCL reconstruction is performed in a way that preserves the remnant PCL fibers. We report on our surgical technique for arthroscopic PCL reconstruction preserving the original PCL fibers.

All-Anterior Approach for Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:We describe the all-anterior approach for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation. In this technique, PCL is reconstructed through 3 anterior portals: anterolateral portal, anteromedial portal, and inferior anterolateral portal, whereas the PCL remnant is preserved with great possibility. With the PCL elevator and wire catcher (Smith & Nephew), a self-made wire loop is introduced into the joint through the tibial tunnel, and is used to pass the graft in an all-inside-out fashion. In the transtibial PCL reconstruction technique, posterior portals are routinely adopted and the PCL remnant is often removed for good vision and adequate operative space, which can prolong surgery time and increase the potential risk of iatrogenic injury. In comparison, this technique not only simplifies the surgical procedure and reduces surgical trauma, but also preserves the remnant for our patients.

Single-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Remnant always exists following injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). To improve the clinical outcomes of PCL reconstruction, preservation of the remnant has long been a consideration. However, how to make the remnant-preservation technique simple and more effective is of concern. We describe a single-bundle anatomical PCL reconstruction technique with remnant preservation in which the posteromedial and posterolateral portals are used, the graft is placed at the lateral side of the remnant, and pulleys are used to facilitate graft passage at the 2 killer turns of the grafting routes. We consider introduction of this technique will provide reasonable choices in PCL reconstruction.

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Retrograde Femoral Technique, Posterior Trans-septal Portal and Full Tibial Tunnel.

Project description:Suspensory femoral graft fixation has been a popular and reliable method in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Some authors have introduced suspensory femoral fixation in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction using inside-out (IO) technique. The use of IO technique for femoral tunnel preparation could significantly sharpen the critical corner, which might result in graft failure. A retrograde drilling pin that recently has been popular in ACL reconstruction allows "no incision" in the outside-in (OI) technique for the creation of a femoral socket. Here we describe the suspensory femoral fixation using a retro-socket technique in single-bundle PCL reconstruction. By using this technique, it is possible to create a retrograde femoral socket for suspensory femoral fixation in an OI manner in a desirable direction and reduce angulation of the graft in the entry area of the femoral tunnel.

Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:The clinical results of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCL) still leave much room for improvement. To get better knee stability, the double-bundle reconstruction, the use of strong grafts, and the preservation of the remnant have been applied. However, the combination of the 3 measures has seldom been reported. Thus I introduce a 4-tunnel double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique, in which I combine the use of strong grafts and preservation of the remnant. The critical point of this technique is manipulating skillfully across the femoral notch with the preservation, as well as the hindrance to operation of the PCL remnant. My clinical experience indicates this technique is somewhat complicated but most effective. I believe the introduction of this technique will provide an additional choice when PCL reconstruction is to be performed.

Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Without Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction has long been attempted to obtain better clinical results than single-bundle PCL reconstruction. In most previous reports regarding double-bundle PCL reconstruction, one tibial tunnel and various kinds of grafts were used. We introduce a two-tibial tunnel, double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique with ultra-strong grafts. The critical points of this technique are proper creation of the tibial tunnels and the protection of the posterior neurovascular structures. Our clinical experience indicates this technique can lead to satisfactory stable outcomes. We believe that this technique will provide a reasonable choice for PCL reconstruction without remnant preservation.

Remnant-Preserving Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Arthroscopic Transseptal, Rod and Pulley Technique.

Project description:The preservation of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) remnant augmentation was recently proposed as a technique for PCL reconstruction. The technique achieved isometry and anatomic position of the PCL graft, but it was technically difficult. The present technique is a modified transseptal technique with visualization from both posteromedial and posterolateral portals. Moreover, this rod-pulley technique could prevent the killer turn effectively. The result was anatomic remnant augmented PCL graft.

Excision of a Posterior Cruciate Ligament Cyst Using an Arthroscopic Trans-septal Approach.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) cysts are rare. Although they are usually asymptomatic and benign, in a few cases they may cause knee discomfort and restricted movements. Nonsurgical treatment is the initial approach, with medication and corticosteroid injections. However, there may be treatment failures, with some cysts needing to be excised surgically. Arthroscopic excision of PCL cysts located in the posterior compartment of the knee can be technically challenging. We describe the arthroscopic excision of a PCL cyst using a trans-septal portal, which is an easy and safe method for accessing and completely removing the lesion under direct vision.

Anatomic graft passage in remnant-preserving posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with preservation of the remnant PCL fibers has been performed under the assumption that preserving the fibers contributes to knee kinematics, grafted tendon healing, and recovery of proprioception. This technical note presents a single-bundle, transtibial PCL reconstruction with anatomic graft passage between the remnant PCL fibers. The operation is performed using the posterior trans-septal portal, which can provide excellent visualization while preserving a large amount of remnant PCL fibers. In addition, this technique allows for anatomic graft passage without soft-tissue impingement, and it minimizes the risk of nonanatomic positioning of the PCL grafts.

Femoral Footprint Reconstruction With a Direct Viewing of the Posterior Insertion Using a Trans-Septal Portal in the Outside-In Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:We established a technique for femoral tunnel preparation through direct vision of the femoral footprint with maximum preservation to the native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant using a posterior trans-septal portal. Anterior arthroscopy is difficult for the proper tunnel placement without sacrificing the ACL remnant. Posterior arthroscopy could be helpful for viewing the posterior insertion of the ACL remnant that provides excellent femoral footprint exposure without sacrificing the native ACL remnant. Therefore, a posterolateral portal technique using a 70° arthroscope through a posterolateral portal is introduced. However, using the 70° arthroscope, an oblique view is displayed and distorted view could be seen. Therefore, to achieve the goal of posterior arthroscopy and avoid obstacles of the posterolateral view with the 70° arthroscope, we introduce this technique that uses the posterior trans-septal portal with a 30° arthroscope that provides an excellent viewing to the femoral footprint through a hole of the posterior septum.

Remnant-Preserving Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Remnant Envelope Technique.

Project description:The awareness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and their treatment is increasing among athletes and within the general population, so patients report early to orthopaedic surgeons. Because we encounter a thick ACL stump during arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, an attempt is made to preserve this stump. Remnant preservation-although promising in terms of graft healing because it enhances cell proliferation, revascularization, and regeneration of the proprioceptive organs in the reconstructed ACL-does not come without complications, such as cyclops lesions, impingement, and extension loss. These problems can be detrimental to an athlete's return to his or her preinjury level after ACL reconstruction. Therefore, we describe a technique in which the ACL is reconstructed using hamstring autograft and suture passes are made through the remnant with an antegrade suture-passing device. After anatomic tunnel drilling, the remnant is tensioned, along with the reconstructed ACL, at the femoral end without the use of an extra implant. Femoral-side fixation is achieved with an adjustable-loop button (Procinch; Stryker) and a bio-composite interference screw (Biosure Regenesorb; Smith & Nephew) on the tibial end. As the sutured remnant is tensioned and knots are made over the button, the remnant envelopes the graft in the orientation of the native ACL, which can be helpful for early and better ligamentization of the graft. The potential advantages of this technique are as follows: orientation of the remnant along the collagen of the ACL graft; no loose ACL stump in the notch, thus preventing cyclops lesions; retention of the proprioceptive organs in the ligament; and no extra implant.
