Arthroscopic Posterolateral Corner Stabilization With Popliteus Tenodesis.

ABSTRACT: The injuries of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee often remain misdiagnosed. Because most structures in this anatomical region have low potential to heal, the posterolateral rotational instability results in a deterioration in patient quality of life, impaired biomechanics of the knee, and increased tension on other ligaments and the meniscus. Many open and a few arthroscopic techniques have been developed to repair or reconstruct the damaged structures of the PLC. Creating an additional midlateral arthroscopic portal on the lateral side of the knee was the key to developing the technique to recreate a static stabilizer against external rotational instability of the PLC by fixing the popliteus tendon as a native, vascularized material to the tibia.

Minimally Invasive, Arthroscopic-Assisted, Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction.

Project description:As the anatomy and biomechanics of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee have become better understood, the importance of the PLC's proper function has become a more frequently raised subject. Misdiagnosed chronic posterolateral instability may lead to serious consequences, including cruciate ligament reconstruction graft failure. It has been proved that high-grade PLC injuries need to be treated operatively. Surgical approaches vary, and techniques are still developing. Considering avoidance of an extended surgical approach and minimizing the risk of common peroneal nerve or popliteal artery injuries, we developed the minimally invasive, arthroscopic-assisted, anatomic PLC reconstruction.

An All-Arthroscopic Technique for Complex Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction.

Project description:Injuries to the posterolateral corner (PLC) often result in lateral, rotational, and dorsal instability, which need appropriate and differentiated treatment. Besides posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction for posterior instability, the technique according to LaPrade et al. efficiently stabilizes posterolateral rotational and lateral instability as described in Fanelli type B or C injuries. This technique has been exclusively used as an open procedure. In this article, we present an all-arthroscopic technique for the posterolateral stabilization procedure. To achieve this, 5 different arthroscopic portals are needed. The PLC is visualized by a trans-septal approach. Directly posterior to the popliteal tendon, arthroscopic preparation is started and the medial part of the fibular head is exposed. Two anatomic drill channels are placed in the lateral femoral condyle, with one tibial channel in the distal third of the sulcus popliteus and one channel in the fibular head. The popliteal tendon, popliteofibular ligament, and lateral collateral ligament are reconstructed with autologous hamstring tendons. The advantages of an all-arthroscopic anatomic PLC reconstruction are the protection of the soft tissues and the precise anatomic tunnel placement under direct visualization. The described procedure is a safe and anatomic method for posterolateral stabilization.

Anatomic Reconstruction of the Posterolateral Corner: An All-Arthroscopic Technique.

Project description:Injuries of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee lead to chronic lateral and external rotational instability. Successful treatment of PLC injuries requires an understanding of the complex anatomy and biomechanics of the PLC. Several open PLC reconstruction techniques have been published. It is understood that anatomic reconstruction is superior to extra-anatomic techniques, leading to better clinical results. An open, anatomic, fibula-based technique for reconstruction to address lateral and rotational instability has been described. However, when an open technique is used, surgeon and patient are faced with disadvantages, such as soft tissue damage or exposure of vulnerable structures. Few arthroscopic techniques for tibia- or fibula-based reconstruction of rotational posterolateral instability have been described. A complete arthroscopic stabilization of the combined lateral and posterolateral rotational instability of the knee has not yet been described. We therefore present the first all-arthroscopic technique for complete PLC reconstruction, based on an open technique described previously. All relevant landmarks of the PLC can be arthroscopically visualized in detail, allowing safe and effective treatment of PLC injuries.

Arthroscopic anatomy of the posterolateral corner of the knee: anatomic relations and arthroscopic approaches.

Project description:IntroductionAlthough open-surgical techniques for the reconstruction of the posterolateral corner (PLC) are well established, the use of arthroscopic procedures has recently increased. When compared with open surgical preparation, arthroscopic orientation in the PLC is challenging and anatomic relations may not be familiar. Nevertheless, a profound knowledge of anatomic key structures and possible structures at risk as well as technical variations of arthroscopic approaches are mandatory to allow a precise and safe surgical intervention.Materials and methodsIn a cadaveric video demonstration, an anterolateral (AL), anteromedial (AM), posteromedial (PM) and posterolateral (PL) portal, as well as a transseptal approach (TSA) were developed. Key structures of the PLC were defined and sequentially exposed during posterolateral arthroscopy. Finally, anatomic relations of all key structures were demonstrated.ResultsAll key structures of the PLC can be visualized during arthroscopy. Thereby, careful portal placement is crucial in order to allow an effective exposure. Two alternatives of the TSA were described, depending on the region of interest. The peroneal nerve can be visualized dorsal to the biceps femoris tendon (BT), lateral to the soleus muscle (SM) and about 3 cm distal to the fibular styloid (FS). The distal attachment of the fibular collateral ligament (FCL) can be exposed on the lateral side of the fibular head (FH). The fibular attachment of the popliteofibular ligament (PFL) is exposed at the tip of the FS.ConclusionArthroscopy of the posterolateral recessus allows full visualization of all key structures of the posterolateral corner, which provides the basis for anatomic and safe drill channel placement in PLC reconstruction. A sufficient exposure of relevant anatomic landmarks and precise portal preparation reduce the risk of iatrogenic vascular and peroneal nerve injury.

All-Arthroscopic Treatment of Combined Posterior Cruciate Ligament and Posterolateral Corner Instability.

Project description:Injuries to the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee are uncommon, and usually associated with other ligamentous injuries. A combined posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and PLC tear is the most frequent combination. Several studies describe anatomic reconstructive techniques using an open approach with large incisions and extensive exploration of the posterolateral structures. This Technical Note describes an all-arthroscopic technique as a safe and efficient treatment of combined PCL and PLC instability using the trans-septal approach.

Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Stabilization With Concurrent Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction in Multiligamentous Knee Injury.

Project description:Proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) instability is a rare knee injury, accounting for less than 1% of knee injuries. It causes significant lateral sided knee pain and functional deficits and can be associated with up to 9% of multiligament knee injuries. Concurrent surgical treatment of posterolateral corner (PLC) and PTFJ instability poses technical challenges due to the limited working space of the fibula head and inherent risk of collision between grafts, bone tunnels, and implants. In this Technical Note, we detail our senior author's technique for PTFJ reconstruction without the use of additional bone tunnels or implants in the fibula head, to reduce the risk of overcrowding and tunnel collision.ClassificationsLevel I: knee; Level II: other, proximal tibiofibular joint.

Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction.

Project description:Posterolateral corner injuries represent a complex injury pattern, with damage to important coronal and rotatory stabilizers of the knee. These lesions commonly occur in association with other ligament injuries, making decisions regarding treatment challenging. Grade III posterolateral corner injuries result in significant instability and have poor outcomes when treated nonoperatively. As a result, reconstruction is advocated. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy is essential for surgical treatment of this pathology. The following technical note provides a diagnostic approach, postoperative management, and details of a technique for anatomic reconstruction of the 3 main static stabilizers of the posterolateral corner of the knee.

Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis With Tenodesis Screw.

Project description:There are many methods for long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) tenodesis, but a consensus on a superior method has yet to be met. In this article, we introduce a method for arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis using a tenodesis screw in the bicipital tunnel. The intra-articular portion of the biceps tendon is transected. The subdeltoid space is then viewed via a lateral portal, and the tendon is mobilized from the bicipital tunnel. The tendon is retrieved through the anterior portal, and 5 whipstitch passes and a second distal stitch are placed. Three of the suture tails are passed through the tenodesis screwdriver, and the tendon is maneuvered to the previously reamed bone socket located 1.5 cm superior to the pec tendon, just inferior to the bicipital groove. Once the tenodesis screw is fixated in sufficient bone stock, 5 alternating half hitches reinforce the construct by creating a closed loop through the screw. This described technique allows full visualization of the LHBT dissection and tenodesis throughout the procedure. Additionally, this technique provides a method to incorporate whipstitching with an arthroscopic tenodesis screw to provide additional strength to tendon fixation.
