Quadriceps Tendon Repair Using Knotless Anchors and Suture Tape.

ABSTRACT: Repair of a torn quadriceps tendon is necessary to restore the extensor mechanism of the knee. Traditional repair involves transosseous sutures tied over bone bridges on the inferior pole of the patella. Suture anchor repair has been shown to be stronger than transosseous repair and facilitates a smaller incision. Suture tape can improve the strength of the suture-tendon interface, and when combined with knotless anchors, leads to a stronger repair construct than even traditional suture anchors and surgeon-tied knots. Here we describe our technique of quadriceps tendon repair using suture tape and knotless anchors.

Suture Anchor Repair With Fully Threaded Knotless Anchors for Quadriceps Tendon Rupture Resulted in Favorable Outcomes After 2 Years.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate clinical outcomes over 2 years in cases of quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) that were surgically treated using fully threaded knotless anchors.MethodsA total of four knees in four male patients with QTR repaired with fully threaded knotless anchors at our hospital from November 2017 to January 2019 were enrolled. Mean patient age at surgery was 65.3 years (range: 61-70 years). Intraoperatively, stability of the sutured site was confirmed by knee flexion to 90°. Full weight walking with the orthosis in extension was commenced on the seventh postoperative day. Surgical findings, pathologies of the ruptured quadriceps tendons, and postoperative clinical outcomes were evaluated in all patients.ResultsThe QTR was complete in three cases and partial in one. Average surgical duration was 58.5 (range: 49-74) minutes. Pathological evaluation revealed hyaline degeneration with granulation of the quadriceps tendon in two cases. No complications, such as infection and rerupture, occurred. Magnetic resonance imaging performed 1 year postoperatively confirmed complete healing of the repaired tendon. The mean follow-up period was 35.5 months (range: 24-46 months). None of the patients had extension lag of the knee, and mean Lysholm score and range of flexion were 95.3 (range: 85-100) and 141.3° (range: 140-145°), respectively, at the final follow-up.ConclusionsClinical outcomes were favorable in all cases, including two cases with pathological degenerative changes. Suture anchor repair with fully threaded knotless anchors can be considered a minimally invasive and effective method for QTR, with sufficient strength to allow early rehabilitation.

Open Repair of Quadriceps Tendon With Suture Anchors and Semitendinosus Tendon Allograft Augmentation.

Project description:Quadriceps tendinopathy in an increasingly recognized diagnosis can lead to quadriceps tendon rupture, especially in the older population. It can be caused by repeated micro trauma or also predisposed by systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and connective tissue disorders that can in turn lead to extensor mechanism deficits. Although a trial of conservative treatment is advocated, operative treatment should be performed in cases of persistent pain, extension deficit, or complete rupture of the tendon. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail a procedure for open repair of a quadriceps tendon, with significant degeneration due to quadriceps tendinopathy, using suture anchors and semitendinosus tendon allograft augmentation.

Quadriceps Tendon Repair Using Double-Row Suture Anchor Fixation.

Project description:Quadriceps tendon ruptures compromise the knee extensor mechanism and cause an inability to ambulate and significant functional limitations. Therefore, the vast majority of quadriceps tendon ruptures are indicated for operative intervention to restore patient mobility and function. Although these injuries were traditionally repaired using a transosseous repair technique, recent literature has shown that suture anchor repair may offer biomechanical advantages. Additionally, research in other areas of orthopaedics has found that a double-row suture anchor construct can offer additional biomechanical strength to tendinous repair. This technical note describes a safe and effective quadriceps tendon repair using a double-row suture anchor construct.

Knotless Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Tendon Tears Using Looped Suture.

Project description:Subscapularis tendon tears present a technical challenge because both diagnosis and arthroscopic treatment can be difficult. One difficulty is the limited visualization and working space of the anterior shoulder. Although most tears of the subscapularis are partial- or full-thickness tears of the upper third of the tendon, occasionally, larger or more retracted tears are encountered. Various techniques have been developed to treat a wide variety of tear patterns. We present a simple technique using a looped suture that remains easy to use in the limited working space of the anterior shoulder; can be easily modified to accommodate a broad spectrum of subscapularis pathology, from partial to full and retracted tears; and uses familiar viewing and working portals. This technique creates a single-row, knotless repair. Traction on the superior suture improves visualization and ease of passing more inferior sutures. Risks include unintentional over-tensioning of the repair and medialization of the femoral footprint, which can be avoided with appropriate exposure and arm positioning during repair. Postoperative care includes restriction of external rotation for 3 to 6 weeks and strengthening at 3 months.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair with Centralization Using Knotless Suture Anchors.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tears can lead to rapid progression of knee arthritis because of loss of the stress distribution function of the meniscus. Medial meniscus root repair can restore stress distribution and improve clinical outcome. In cases of medial meniscus root tears with meniscal extrusion, centralization may help reduce extrusion and protect the root repair. Presented here is a technique for transtibial medial meniscus root repair with centralization using knotless suture anchors, building on previously developed techniques.

Arthroscopic Remplissage Using Knotless, All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Glenohumeral bone loss is a significant risk factor for recurrent instability after shoulder dislocation. The Hill-Sachs lesion is an osseous defect of the posterior humeral head that is commonly recognized after anterior shoulder dislocation. Several procedures exist to address humeral-sided bone loss, including soft tissue filling procedures, osteoarticular allografts, bone plugs, rotation osteotomies, and humeral head replacements. However, among the most common of these procedures is the arthroscopic remplissage. This technique involves capsulotenodesis of the posterior shoulder capsule and infraspinatus tendon into a Hill-Sachs lesion. Previously described techniques use knotted suture anchors. In this report, we describe a modified technique for remplissage using knotless, all-suture anchors to perform capsulotenodesis of a Hill-Sachs lesion. Benefits of this technique include a single skin incision, improved bone preservation, and easier facilitation of revision surgery if required.

Mini-Open Distal Biceps Tendon Repair Using All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Distal biceps tendon ruptures are uncommon injuries that can cause impairment in range of motion and function. While distal bicep tendon repair to the radial tuberosity has been demonstrated to restore function and strength, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal technique. The purpose of this Technical Note and video is to provide our preferred method of repair using an open, onlay-tissue fixation with all-suture anchors (FiberTak; Arthrex) and anatomic positioning of the biceps tendon on the radial tuberosity.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Gracilis Tendon Graft and "All Suture" Knotless Anchors for Patellar Fixation.

Project description:Patellar dislocation is a frequent sports-related knee injury. The primary restraint to lateral translation of patella is medial patellofemoral ligament. Several treatments for patella dislocation have been described in the literature. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the surgical technique for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using gracilis tendon and 2 knotless soft anchors, avoiding patella tunneling.
