A Technique for Arthroscopic-Assisted Ligamentum Teres Augmentation Using a Suture Tape Augmentation.

ABSTRACT: Ligamentum teres (LT) tears are a pathologic condition being identified at increasing frequency because of growing use of hip arthroscopy. The exact role of the LT is not well understood, but it has been shown in recent biomechanical studies to contribute to hip stability. Patients with hip pain, instability, and/or mechanical symptoms with advanced imaging findings showing LT pathology may benefit from an LT augmentation. We present an arthroscopic-assisted LT augmentation technique, which can be performed as an isolated procedure or in conjunction with an arthroscopic labral repair and/or debridement, chondroplasty, and femoroplasty.

Arthroscopic ligamentum teres reconstruction.

Project description:The ligamentum teres (LT) has been studied since the 19th century, and its anatomy and biomechanical function have been well described. Recent advancements in hip arthroscopy have caused increased awareness of LT pathology. Previous reports have estimated the incidence of LT tears during hip arthroscopy to be 4% to 51%, and LT tears have been estimated to be the third most common reason for hip pain in athletes. Biomechanical studies have shown the LT's role in stability of the hip. Despite the growing body of literature on LT anatomy and function, its role as a causative factor in hip pain and hip instability has yet to be clearly defined, and the treatment of LT tears remains controversial. However, in certain cases where hip subluxation and overt instability are related to a traumatic full-thickness tear of the LT, reconstruction of the ligamentum has been suggested. We describe a technique for arthroscopic LT reconstruction using either a semitendinosus autograft or allograft in the supine position.

Arthroscopic ligamentum teres reconstruction using semitendinosus tendon: surgical technique and an unusual outcome.

Project description:Although the exact biomechanical function of the ligamentum teres (LT) remains unclear, an important role in hip stability has been suggested. In some patients, perhaps because of their specific anatomy or physical activity, it seems to have a major function as a hip stabilizer. Therefore, after a complete LT tear, this group of patients may have persistent hip pain and mechanical symptoms probably related to microinstability and subtle subluxation. We present the case of a female patient with a complete LT tear. This had been treated by debridement and anterior capsule tightening, followed by prolonged rehabilitation. However, she had persistent symptoms. An LT reconstruction with a novel surgical technique was performed. The LT was reconstructed with double-stranded semitendinosus graft. The acetabular end was fixed with 2 anchors, and the femoral end was passed into a bone tunnel and fixed with an interference screw. After surgery, the patient's modified Harris Hip Score and Non-Arthritic Hip Score improved from 53 and 73 to 100 and 95, respectively, at 12 months of follow-up. At repeat arthroscopy 15 months after surgery, it was observed that the graft had resorbed, although the 2 Ticron stitches (Covidien, Mansfield, MA) remained firmly attached and were still acting as a small synthetic ligament.

Arthroscopic Ligamentum Teres Reconstruction Using Anterior Tibialis Allograft and the Tension-Slide Technique.

Project description:Once perceived to be a vestigial structure, the ligamentum teres (LT) is now increasingly understood to be critical to providing stability in the adult hip. Surgical treatment with arthroscopic debridement is usually the procedure of choice to treat LT tears. However, reconstruction is a possible alternative in select cases. The authors of a recent systematic review concluded that LT debridement may provide short-term relief of hip pain in patients with partial-thickness tears in whom conservative management has failed whereas reconstruction may be more beneficial in cases of full-thickness tears. This Technical Note describes a method for arthroscopic LT reconstruction using the tension-slide technique to fixate an anterior tibialis tendon allograft to the acetabulum.

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.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Technique Utilizing Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:The prevalence of ulnar collateral ligament injuries and reconstructions among overhead throwing athletes has significantly risen in recent years. Surgical reconstruction has become the main treatment modality for athletes who have failed conservative treatment and wish to return to their sport. There has been an increased interest in graft augmentation in ligament reconstruction surgeries as surgeons search for ways to decrease the chance of graft failure. Augmented graft techniques have been described for other procedures. We present a technique that incorporates a cross-linked suture tape into either a palmaris longus or gracilis tendon autograft or allograft for ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction. This may allow for a biomechanically stronger construct because it appears this is the case in other settings. The goal is that this would lead to decreased rates of failure or possibly allow athletes to return at an accelerated rate.

An Arthroscopic-Assisted Radial Meniscal Tear Repair Using Reinforced Suture Tape Rebars and Suture Tapes.

Project description:A radial tear of the meniscus can lead to significant loss of meniscus function, resulting in deleterious cartilage changes. Repair of radial meniscus tears has several challenges, including suture pull-out, which can reduce healing success. We present an arthroscopic repair technique in a complete radial lateral meniscus tear using vertical reinforced bars (rebar) of suture tapes to reduce suture pull-out and approximate the radial tear.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape Augmentation: A Surgical Technique.

Project description:The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most common ligamentous knee injury and often is encountered in those participating in multidirectional sports. ACL reconstruction is the most commonly performed knee ligament reconstruction and employs a variety of surgical techniques but still is challenged by residual laxity and graft rupture. To help address and prevent future ACL failures, new repair and reconstruction techniques have been employed that incorporate suture augmentation (InternalBrace; Arthrex, Naples, FL), which protects the graft during healing and ligamentization. Our goal of this article is to provide a surgical technique of suture augmentation with ACL reconstruction.

An augmentation suture technique for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Project description:The double-row suture technique and the suture-bridge technique have been used for rotator cuff repair to decrease the occurrence of retears. However, when only the degenerated tendon end is sutured, the risk of retear remains. The augmentation suture technique is a new procedure that connects the intact medial tendon to the lateral greater tuberosity, and this approach may protect the initial repair site. The procedures for this technique are as follows: 2 sutures are placed through the medial intact tendon, the cuff tear is repaired by the single-row technique, 2 sutures are pulled laterally over the single-row repair site, and 2 sutures are fixed at the lateral greater tuberosity with a push-in-type anchor. This technique is simple and easy and does not require special equipment. Moreover, this approach can augment the single-row repair technique without creating high tension at the cuff end.

Anatomic Arthroscopic Ligamentum Teres Reconstruction for Hip Instability.

Project description:There has been growing interest in recent years on the functional importance of the ligamentum teres and its role in hip stability. Partial or complete tearing has previously been treated with debridement or radiofrequency ablation with good results; however, a subset of patients will continue to experience persistent pain or instability with injury to this structure. Advances in arthroscopic instruments and techniques have led to our ability to provide improved care for these patients by performing a ligamentum teres reconstruction. The purpose of this technical note is to describe our method of ligamentum teres reconstruction with a tibialis anterior allograft.
