Anteromedial Portal Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Tibialis Anterior Allograft.

Project description:In an effort to better restore normal joint function and kinematics, recent emphasis has been placed on surgical techniques that provide a more anatomic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). With femoral tunnel placement shown to play a vital role in the biomechanics, stability, and clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction, approaches that better approximate the ACL's native femoral origin have been adopted. The independent anteromedial portal technique is thought to better position the femoral tunnel within the native ACL footprint and leave the graft more posteroinferior on the wall of the lateral femoral condyle than the more traditional transtibial approach. This article outlines the surgical technique for an anteromedial portal ACL reconstruction with a tibialis anterior allograft fixed with the Mitek Femoral and Tibial Intrafix sheath and screw system (DePuy Synthes, Raynham, MA).

Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Augmentation.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are usually managed by reconstruction with autograft or allograft, but primary repair in carefully selected patients is a reasonable option. Proximal avulsions presenting early with excellent tissue quality are amenable to repair and healing. Restoration of native ACL preserves its proprioceptive and kinematic functions. A repair is less invasive and avoids graft-related problems, and faster rehabilitation is possible. Protection for the repair in the early stages will allow better healing. We present our technique of ACL repair using knotless suture anchors with high-strength sutures and protection using high-strength sutures tapes inserted through the same anchors.

Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Single-Bundle Repair With Augmentation for a Partial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear.

Project description:Although anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains the gold standard for the treatment of ACL tears, repair is regaining popularity as a treatment option for proximal or distal ACL avulsions. Historically, ACL repairs had poor outcomes. To remedy this, techniques were developed using graft-based augmentation but never gained widespread popularity. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in primary ligament repairs, with newer techniques incorporating modern synthetic materials to augment the repair site. The term "internal bracing," or ligament repair with augmentation, has been used to describe the new philosophy for primary ligament repair and augmentation. We present our technique for arthroscopic primary ACL repair with augmentation for a proximal posterolateral bundle tear. The advantages of this technique include preservation of the intact fibers of the anteromedial bundle, intuitive suture augmentation with standard ACL tunnel placement techniques, and the ability to calibrate ligament tension.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair Using Independent Suture Tape Reinforcement.

Project description:Recently there has been renewed interest in primary repair of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Repair of the acute proximal ruptured ACL can be achieved with the independent suture tape reinforcement ACL repair technique. The independent suture tape reinforcement technique reinforces the ligament as a secondary stabilizer, encouraging natural healing of the ligament by protecting it during the healing phase and supporting early mobilization. The purpose of this article is to describe, with video illustration, this ACL repair technique.

Arthroscopic Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Suture Augmentation.

Project description:Historically, poor results of open primary repair of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been reported. In hindsight, however, appropriate patient selection (i.e. proximal tears and good tissue quality) was not performed, because it has recently been recognized that good outcomes of primary ACL repair are possible when selectively performed in patients with proximal tears and good tissue quality. Moreover, with modern-day advances, arthroscopic primary repair can be an excellent treatment option for patients with proximal tears. Preserving the native ACL has several advantages, including maintaining native proprioceptive function and biology. The procedure is also minimally invasive and prevents the need for formal ACL reconstruction. Recently, it has been suggested that additional suture augmentation of the primary repair technique may be beneficial for protecting ligament healing during early range of motion. In this Technical Note, we present the surgical technique of arthroscopic primary repair with suture augmentation for patients with proximal ACL tears.

Arthroscopic Primary Repair of Proximal Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears.

Project description:In a select group of patients with proximal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, primary repair can be a useful technique. Preservation of the native ACL may be advantageous for proprioceptive function and is thought to restore normal knee joint kinematics. The procedure is a less morbid and more conservative surgical approach to restore knee stability. Primary repair is preferably performed in the acute setting because of better healing capacity and tissue quality. We present the surgical technique of arthroscopic primary ACL repair with suture anchors in patients with proximal tears and excellent tissue quality.

Acute Primary Repair of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament With Anterolateral Ligament Augmentation.

Project description:Acute injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament are often associated with concurrent injuries to the structures of the anterolateral complex, specifically the anterolateral ligament. Some injury patterns of the anterior cruciate ligament involve tearing of the majority of the ligament from the femoral origin, leaving a large, viable ligament remnant. In these patients, a repair of the anterior cruciate ligament back to the femoral origin can be undertaken. Subsequently, percutaneous repair of the anterolateral ligament can be performed through anatomical, percutaneous suture tape augmentation. The combined technique of anterior cruciate ligament repair with anterolateral ligament reinforcement is presented.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Primary Repair With an Autograft Reconstruction.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using an autograft gives good results that could provide improved failure rates. ACL augmentation saving the remnant has demonstrated advantages, such as saving vascular supply and nerve receptors, which could be useful for healing. Conversely, isolated repair techniques are gaining interest but do not give good results because structural augmentation is necessary to reinforce the repair and expect healing. We describe a technique combining the advantages of both techniques with an autograft using the semitendinosus and repair of the remnant. This combined technique allows protection and redirection of the remnant, improves graft incorporation, and covers more graft by suturing the remnant around an autologous graft.

Simultaneous Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Posterior Cruciate Ligament, Posteromedial Corner, and Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction of the Knee.

Project description:Concomitant injuries of the 4 groups of ligaments of the knee are a serious condition and challenge the orthopaedic surgeon when reconstruction of all ligaments is needed. Staged reconstruction can be chosen owing to the complexity of the combined procedures; however, simultaneous reconstruction is favored to facilitate recovery. We describe a simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), posteromedial corner (PMC), and posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction technique, in which autografts are used and both cruciate ligaments are reconstructed in a single-bundle manner. We believe the introduction of this technique will familiarize surgeons with the principle of simultaneous 4-ligament reconstruction of the knee and the method of cruciate ligament balancing during bicruciate ligament reconstruction.

Figure-of-4 Cruciate Remnant Objective Assessment Test Reducibility of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Stump for Feasibility of Arthroscopic Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair.

Project description:Suture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has reemerged as a treatment option for proximal ACL tears. Preoperative imaging can provide insight into the feasibility of performing arthroscopic primary ACL repair, but the final decision is taken only after confirming with arthroscopy that the ACL remnant is reducible. We describe a test called the Figure-of-4 Cruciate Remnant Objective Assessment test that objectively interprets the reducibility of the ACL remnant for arthroscopic primary ACL repair.
