Arthroscopic All-Inside Medial Meniscus Extrusion Reduction.

ABSTRACT: Medial meniscus extrusion is commonly seen in patients who have medial meniscus posterior root tear. Extruded meniscus results in faster progression of knee arthrosis. Thus, it is important to reduce the extrusion as well as treat the cause of extrusion. This Technical Note describes an all-inside arthroscopic technique to reduce the meniscus extrusion. An additional medial portal has to be made along with the standard anteromedial and anterolateral portals. A double-loaded suture anchor is used to secure the extrusion of the meniscus in its native position. Thus, making a transosseous tibial tunnel is not required. It is easy to perform and is an efficient technique.

All arthroscopic medial meniscus inside out repair- Technical note.

Project description:Concomitant meniscal injuries are common in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency. Along with ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair offers better outcomes. This requires multiple incisions for both procedures. We present a novel technique of medial meniscus inside out repair using only the tibial tunnel wound without making an additional posteromedial incision. This is the first such description of this novel technique in a 21 year old male who underwent ACL reconstruction along with bucket handle medial meniscal repair.

Arthroscopic Centralization of the Extruded Medial Meniscus.

Project description:Tears of the posterior medial meniscus root commonly result in extrusion of the meniscus and disruption of tibiofemoral contact mechanics. Transtibial pull-through repair of the root often results in healing of the tear, but postoperative extrusion may persist. In this scenario, the meniscus is unlikely to be chondroprotective. Therefore, an additional centralization procedure is necessary to improve the extrusion. Biomechanical studies have demonstrated that centralization can improve meniscus mechanics and potentially reduce the risk of osteoarthritis. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic technique for medial meniscus posterior root repair that combines transtibial pullout and centralization sutures.

Arthroscopic All-Inside Repair of Medial Meniscus Grade 2 Horizontal Cleavage Tear Using Additional Posteromedial Portal.

Project description:Management of intrasubstance horizontal cleavage meniscal lesions of microtraumatic origin remains poorly defined in young patients. For grade 2 lesions resistant to conservative measures, the standard technique is debridement of the intrasubstance tear and open suture repair via a posteromedial approach. The objective of this Technical Note is to propose an arthroscopic alternative to this open technique, using an arthroscopic additional posteromedial portal. This technique facilitates an approach to the lesion via its peripheral portion without creating an iatrogenic lesion of the free edge of the meniscus, which is located in the white zone and thus exhibits limited vascularity.

Arthroscopic Repair for Parrot Beak Tear of Lateral Meniscus with Reduction Suture and Inside-Out Technique.

Project description:Parrot beak tear is a white-white meniscal injury that often occurs in isolated injuries. Partial meniscectomy for parrot beak tears is often recommended, owing to the avascular zone; however, partial meniscectomy, especially with the lateral meniscus, has a high failure rate for return to sports, leading to residual meniscus extrusion and lateral compartment osteoarthritis. Thus, we have developed a repair technique to preserve the parrot beak tear of the avascular zone. This is a modification of the inside-out repair with additional reduction sutures. We recommend this procedure as a technique for repairing avascular parrot beak tears of the lateral meniscus.

Tips and Pearls for All-Inside Medial Meniscus Repair.

Project description:The medial meniscus is one of the most commonly injured structures in the knee. When the importance of its proper function is well understood, an adequate management in meniscus tear is a key issue for whole knee joint well-being. Although it has been proven that meniscal repairs have better long-term results than meniscectomy, there is still no consensus as to which suturing technique is the best. An all-inside technique seems to allow for the most anatomic repairs with the greatest preservation of surrounding soft tissues. Our aim is to show that there are no technical limits for all-inside meniscal repairs with nonabsorbable sutures. We describe the technique and some tricks for medial meniscus repair in this Technical Note.

Arthroscopic Centralization Using Knotless Anchors for Extruded Medial Meniscus.

Project description:The load-distributing function is most critical in meniscal function, and meniscal extrusion suggests failure of this function, leading to the progression of osteoarthritis. The arthroscopic centralization technique has been developed to reduce meniscal extrusion; however, existing arthroscopic techniques sometimes fail to reduce the most extruded region, especially in cases with a medial meniscus (MM) posterior root tear, in which the most extruded region is on the posterior border of the medial collateral ligament, which is very difficult to approach. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic technique for extrusion of the MM in which a centralization technique using knotless anchors efficiently reduces the MM extrusion at the posteromedial part and consequently restores the MM function. This technique efficiently reduces MM extrusion and restores its function, thus preventing the progression of osteoarthritis.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Reconstruction and Pull-Out Repair Combined Technique for Root Tear of Medial Meniscus.

Project description:Repair of medial meniscus posterior root tear is important in preventing rapid progression of knee osteoarthritis. There are many repair techniques for medial meniscus posterior root tears, and good clinical results have been reported. Conversely, in terms of improving extrusion and healing meniscal injuries, sufficient results have not been obtained. Reconstruction of the medial meniscus posterior root can restore meniscal hoop action and normal knee biomechanics. Moreover, pull-out repair technique provides strong traction. We describe arthroscopic medial meniscus posterior root reconstruction and pull-out repair technique combined technique for medial meniscus root tear.

Outside-In Deep Medial Collateral Ligament Release During Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Surgery.

Project description:Arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy is a very common orthopaedic procedure performed for symptomatic, irreparable meniscus tears. It is usually associated with a very good outcome and minimal complications. In some patients with tight medial compartment, the posterior horn of the medial meniscus can be difficult to visualize, and access in this area with instruments may be challenging. To increase the opening of the medial compartment, after valgus-extension stress position of the knee, different techniques of deep medial collateral ligament release have been described. The outside-in pie-crusting technique shown in this technical note has documented effectiveness and good outcomes with minimal or no morbidity.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Reconstruction Using Auto-Gracilis Tendon.

Project description:There have been several techniques to repair the medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) with the goal of restoring the anatomic and firm fixation of the meniscal root to bone. Many anatomic studies about the menisci also have been developed, so a better understanding of the anatomy could help surgeons perform correct fixation of the MMPRTs. The meniscal roots have ligament-like structures that firmly attach the menisci to the tibial plateau, and this structural concept is important to restore normal biomechanics after anatomic root repair. We present arthroscopic transtibial medial meniscus posterior root reconstruction using auto-gracilis tendon.

Arthroscopic Segmental Medial Meniscus Allograft Transplant Using Three Fixation Techniques.

Project description:Partial meniscectomy or failed meniscus repair can lead to pain, dysfunction, and cartilage degradation due to increased contact forces. Meniscus transplantation can lead to favorable outcomes and cartilage preservation with careful patient selection. Limited data exist on segmental meniscus allograft transplantation, with promising results using synthetic grafts and early animal and biomechanical studies on segmental allograft transplantation, showing similar results to full meniscus allograft transplantation. This article presents a technique for arthroscopic segmental medial meniscus allograft transplant and a brief review of the literature.
