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

ABSTRACT: 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 Knotless Anchors and Suture Tape.

Project description: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.

Revision Patellar Tendon Repair With Anchors, Allograft Augmentation, and Suspensory Fixation.

Project description:Ruptures of the patellar tendon are rare but potentially devastating injuries reported to occur most commonly in active males in their third and fourth decades of life. Repair failure rates have been reported to range between 2% and 50% based on surgical technique used. There are several inherent challenges associated with revision patellar tendon repair, including quadriceps atrophy, contracture, tissue loss, excessive scarring, and improper patella height. There remains no consensus regarding ideal revision patellar tendon repair technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred method for revision patellar tendon repair using suture anchors and allograft augmentation with adjustable loop suspensory fixation. On the basis of recent studies, we have carefully chosen our fixation and augmentation methods that have shown biomechanical promise, while allowing the surgeon to carefully titrate the patellar tendon length and accommodate for some patellar tendon tissue loss.

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.

Patellar Tendon Repair With Ipsilateral Semitendinosus Autograft Augmentation.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are rare but potentially devastating injuries. Acute repair after patellar tendon rupture affords the best opportunity for tension-free restoration of the extensor mechanism. Biological augmentation of primary repair is believed to decrease strain across the repair site and reduce the risk of rerupture. We present a technique for primary patellar tendon repair with bidirectional fixation using transosseous tunnels, suture anchor fixation, and ipsilateral hamstring autograft augmentation in a distal patellar pole socket.

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.

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.

Suture Bridge Transosseous Quadriceps Tendon Repair for Spontaneous Quadriceps Tendon Rupture in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease.

Project description:End-stage renal disease with spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) is a specific condition that differs from classic QTR. The tissue quality of the quadriceps tendon (QT), the rupture site, the mechanism of injury, and the pathophysiology of the rupture mechanism all have an effect on conventional QT repair procedures, with a higher likelihood of rerupture or failed repair construction. We believe that our technique provides repair-site stability, strong repair construction, increased contact surface healing, and a reduced chance of rerupture after QT repair. Furthermore, in most patients who have end-stage renal disease with QTR, misdiagnosis and/or underestimation occurs, resulting in proximal retraction of the QT and poor results; however, this technique can be performed with alternative procedures such as augmentation or QT lengthening. The suture bridge transosseous QT repair technique relies on biomechanics knowledge for better stability. Suture bridge repair concept can achieve better healing of all layers of the QT until returning to normal activity with no disability and an improved quality of life.

Patellar Tendon Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation for Proximal Patellar Tendon Rupture.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are severe but uncommon injuries that require surgical treatment. Primary repair for acute patellar tendon ruptures using augmentation techniques has shown good results in terms of biomechanical and clinical outcomes. This Technical Note details patellar tendon repair with suture tape augmentation for proximal patellar tendon rupture. Because this surgical technique does not require harvesting of the hamstring tendon and hardware removal, it is minimally invasive. In addition, it is simple and quick to perform.

Trapezoidal Achilles Tendon Allograft Plug for Revision Quadriceps Tendon Repair With a Large Tendon Defect.

Project description:Revision quadriceps tendon repair presents a challenging problem for the treating surgeon because of associated anatomic defects such as large tendon-gap deficits and preexistent poor tissue quality. Current methods for revision quadriceps tendon repair use tendon autograft, which may predispose to additional morbidity because the repair relies only on soft tissue fixation. In this Technical Note, we describe a technique for revision of a failed quadriceps tendon repair with a large tendon gap using a trapezoidal plug Achilles tendon allograft. This technique constitutes a safe and effective approach to revising failed primary quadriceps tendon repairs, is suitable for large-gap defects, and has the ability to withstand large force transmissions.

Augmentation of Patellar Tendon Repair With Autologous Semitendinosus Graft-Porto Technique.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures can lead to significant functional deficiency of the extensor mechanism of the knee. These injuries, because of their inherent nature and associated complications, may require a complex treatment and remains a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Current surgical techniques present significant complications, including patellar fracture, damage to patellar articular cartilage, and abnormal patella height. This note describes a surgical technique to provide an additional reinforcement to the patellar tendon repair with a semitendinous autograft, without the necessity to perform any transosseous tunnels at the patella bone. First, the patellar tendon is repaired with an end-to-end technique and the semitendinous tendon is harvested. A transosseous tunnel at the tibial tubercle is drilled and 2 rents are made, both medial and lateral to the retinaculum at the level of the intermedial segment of the patella close to the patellar margin. The graft is passed through the tunnel and rents in a U-shaped form. The graft is sutured along the length of the patellar tendon on both margins in tension at 30° of knee flexion. Fluoroscopy imaging is performed to assess the patella height. This technique provides a significant augmentation of patellar tendon, avoiding the potential patella bone tunnel complications.
