Endoscopic Revision Subtalar Arthrodesis.

ABSTRACT: Varus malunion after subtalar arthrodesis is considered to be the worst deformity in hindfoot alignment. Poor clinical outcome is expected if there is more than 10° of varus malunion with lateral column overload. Open revision subtalar arthrodesis is associated with high rates of complications, especially involving soft tissue and nonunion. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technical details of endoscopic revision subtalar arthrodesis in which the correction of varus malunion is performed with a minimally invasive technique, which may reduce the risk of soft tissue complications and nonunion.

Treatment of Malunited Calcaneal Fracture With Posttraumatic Subtalar Osteoarthritis Using Lateral Endoscopic Calcaneoplasty With Posterior Arthroscopic Subtalar Arthrodesis.

Project description:Malunion of calcaneal fractures is a common complication after improper nonoperative treatment. It may develop into posttraumatic subtalar osteoarthritis, lateral calcaneal wall prominence, and severe foot deformities. This Technical Note reports the technical aspects of lateral endoscopic calcaneoplasty with posterior arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis for the treatment of malunited calcaneal fracture with lateral calcaneal wall prominence and posttraumatic subtalar osteoarthritis. This technique was chosen because it can reduce the risk of wound complication compared with a conventional lateral extensile approach. This Technical Note describes the use of the technique in a patient with prone position. This offers the advantages of easier access to the lateral surface of the calcaneus and posterior facet of the subtalar joint, and is less invasive to the soft tissue envelope on the lateral side of the foot. Moreover, the concomitant bone void area of the subtalar joint can be dealt with by an arthroscopic procedure.

Lateral Hind-Foot Endoscopic Anterolateral/Posterolateral (LEAP) Subtalar Arthrodesis: An Effective Minimally Invasive Technique to Achieve Subtalar Fusion and Deformity Correction.

Project description:Arthrodesis surgery aims to provide relief for chronic joint pain and correct limb alignment by achieving a stable union between articulating bones. The key factors to achieving sound arthrodesis is adequate debridement of arthritic cartilage and creating well-apposed bleeding subchondral bone surfaces without compromising the surrounding soft tissue envelope. Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis is technically demanding but provides better visualization of the articular surfaces and is safer for the surrounding soft tissues compared to the open approach. Early published reports of the arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis from the lateral sinus tarsi approach and posterior approach have shown promising results with high rates of union and less wound healing complications. However, there are concerns about access to all facets of subtalar joint, nerve injury, and deformity correction. In this technique, the article authors describe the lateral endoscopic anterolateral/posterolateral (LEAP) approach for subtalar arthrodesis to improve visualization and access to all facets of the subtalar joint to ensure adequate preparation of apposing surfaces, sound union, and facilitate deformity correction of hind-foot. Strategic portal placement also avoids injury to sural nerve. This is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique for subtalar arthrodesis.

Arthroscopic Posterior Subtalar Arthrodesis: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Surgical fusion of the subtalar joint is a procedure indicated to alleviate pain of subtalar origin, such as in post-traumatic osteoarthritis, adult-acquired flatfoot deformity, and other disorders. Open subtalar arthrodesis has been performed with predictable results, but concerns exist regarding injury to proprioception and local vascularity due to wide surgical dissection. Minimally invasive techniques try to improve results by avoiding these issues but have a reputation for being technically demanding. We describe the surgical technique for arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis, which has proved to be a safe and reliable technique in our experience, with consistent improvements in American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society scores.

Anterolateral Arthroscopic Posterior Subtalar Arthrodesis: The Surgical Technique.

Project description:The effectiveness of subtalar arthrodesis has been well documented in treating degenerative subtalar joint disease. The arthroscopic subtalar approach for arthrodesis has also been proved to give excellent results in terms of bone fusion rates and reduction of wound-related pain and complications. To date, the main concerns about arthroscopy have regarded incision-related neurologic complications such as lesions of the tibial, fibular, and sural nerves. In this context, we present a 2-portal lateral (anterior and middle) approach to arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis, recently documented in the literature, that provides similar excellent access to the joint with a lower risk of nerve damage.

Lateral Arthroscopic Subtalar Arthrodesis for Talocalcaneal Coalition: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Resection of symptomatic talocalcaneal coalitions (TCCs) has been performed for patients with normal tarsal joints and <50% involvement of the subtalar joint. For those with TCCs >50% of subtalar articulation or/and subtalar arthritis, a subtalar arthrodesis is done. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the arthroscopic resection of TCC and talocalcaneal arthrodesis during the same procedure by using a 2 lateral portal technique. With the patient in lateral decubitus under general or locoregional anaesthesia, the foot and ankle are extended beyond the edge of the surgical table. A lateral portal is created 1 cm anterior to the tip of the lateral malleolus in which the arthroscope is introduced. The anterolateral portal is created 1 cm inferior and 2 cm anterior to the tip of the lateral malleolus. The posterior subtalar surface is prepared progressively. The TCC resection is completed. The fixation is obtained with 2 cannulated screws. The arthroscopic resection of TCC and subtalar arthrodesis during the same procedure by using 2 lateral portals can be done for correctly selected patients.

Application of 3D-printed Customized Guides in Subtalar Joint Arthrodesis.

Project description:ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of 3D printed customized guides assisting the precise drilling of Kirschner wires in subtalar joint arthrodesis.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of 29 patients (30 subtalar joints) who underwent subtalar joint arthrodesis between 1 July 2013 and 31 December 2017. The customized guides were designed on a full-scale 3D polylactic acid model made from computed tomography (CT) data of patients by Model Intestinal Microflora in Computer Simulation (MIMICS) software, which were manufactured by 3D printing technology. A total of 14 joints used customized guides (experimental group); the remained 16 joints used the traditional method (control group). The time of drilling the Kirschner wires to the correct position, the time of subtalar fusion, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, and complications were evaluated in both groups.ResultsAll customized guides were successfully manufactured. In the experimental group, it took 2.1 ± 0.7 min to drill the Kirschner wire to the satisfactory position, and 2 cases needed to be re-drilled; in the control group, it took 4.6 ± 1.9 min to drill the Kirschner wire to the satisfactory position (P < 0.05), and 8 cases needed to be re-drilled. No serious complications occurred in both groups during and after the surgery. Postoperative radiographic fusion was confirmed in all cases. No significant difference was observed in the fusion time and AOFAS scores 1 year postoperatively between the two groups (P > 0.05).ConclusionIt is safe to apply 3D-printed customized guides for subtalar joint arthrodesis, which can assist the accurate drilling of Kirschner wires into the appropriate position according to the preoperative plan, and reduce the operation time as well as intraoperative radiation.

Revision Lapidus Arthrodesis by Bone Endoscopy.

Project description:Revision arthrodesis is indicated in symptomatic nonunion of the first tarsometatarsal joint. Revision by first tarsometatarsal arthroscopy cannot deal with the dilated screw tract and associated bone cysts. Revision by bone endoscopy is indicated in symptomatic nonunion of the first tarsometatarsal joint, which is previously fixed by transarticular screw along with loosening of the screw and bone cyst formation. The screw tract makes up the portal tract, with the proximal and distal ends of the tract corresponding to the proximal and distal portals, respectively. In this technical note, we describe zonal debridement and bone grafting of the bone cysts, nonunion site, and the screw tract via the bone endoscopy. This can resolve all the co-pathologies of nonunion of the first tarsometatarsal fusion.

Endoscopic Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Arthrodesis.

Project description:Chronic distal tibiofibular syndesmosis disruption can be managed by endoscopic arthrodesis of the syndesmosis. This is performed through the proximal anterolateral and posterolateral portals. The scar tissue and bone block are resected to facilitate the subsequent reduction of the syndesmosis. The reduction of the syndesmosis can be guided either arthroscopically or endoscopically. The tibial and fibular surfaces of the tibiofibular overlap can be microfractured to facilitate subsequent fusion.

Cost of Headless vs Headed Screw Fixation for Calcaneal Osteotomy and Subtalar Arthrodesis.

Project description:BackgroundScrew head prominence in the heel following fixation for calcaneal osteotomy or subtalar arthrodesis has resulted in high rates of symptomatic hardware and screw removal. A cost analysis was performed to determine the financial implications of screw removal. Furthermore, we compared the rate of nonunion following fixation.MethodsCurrent Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify all patients who had a subtalar arthrodesis or calcaneal osteotomy (with screw fixation) performed between 2010 and 2016. The cohort was divided into 2 groups: 7.0-mm headless screw or 6.7-mm headed screw. The primary outcome measure was the rate of symptomatic screw removal. Secondary outcomes included the rate of nonunion. The expense associated with symptomatic hardware removal was determined by cost analysis.ResultsSeventy-six patients underwent headless screw fixation, and 2 patients (2.6%) required screw removal. Fifty-four patients underwent headed screw fixation and 12 patients (22.2%) required screw removal. Symptomatic hardware removal was performed more frequently in the headed screw group (P < .001). There was no difference in the rate of nonunion after subtalar arthrodesis between the 2 groups (P = .363). The calcaneal osteotomy united in 100% of patients. There was a $51 755 cost savings per 100 cases using headless screw fixation.ConclusionThe rate of symptomatic screw removal was lower with headless screw fixation. The calcaneal osteotomy healed in 100% of patients, and there was no difference in the rate of subtalar nonunion between the 2 groups. Cost analysis demonstrated a significant benefit when the expense of hardware removal was considered.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective cohort study.
