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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with preservation of femoral anterior cruciate ligament stump.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with preservation of either the remnant or the tibial stump is performed with the hope of improving the vascularization and proprioceptive function of the graft. Remnant preservation is technically difficult because it hinders the visualization of the intra-articular tunnel site. Taking a cue from the concept of tibial stump preservation, we have modified our ACL reconstruction technique to preserve a sleeve of the soft tissue and ACL stump attached to the femoral condyle, in addition to tibial stump preservation, while still allowing adequate visualization of the femoral ACL insertion site. We describe our modification in this article and hypothesize that this should further improve graft vascularization and ligamentization.

All-Anterior Approach for Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:We describe the all-anterior approach for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation. In this technique, PCL is reconstructed through 3 anterior portals: anterolateral portal, anteromedial portal, and inferior anterolateral portal, whereas the PCL remnant is preserved with great possibility. With the PCL elevator and wire catcher (Smith & Nephew), a self-made wire loop is introduced into the joint through the tibial tunnel, and is used to pass the graft in an all-inside-out fashion. In the transtibial PCL reconstruction technique, posterior portals are routinely adopted and the PCL remnant is often removed for good vision and adequate operative space, which can prolong surgery time and increase the potential risk of iatrogenic injury. In comparison, this technique not only simplifies the surgical procedure and reduces surgical trauma, but also preserves the remnant for our patients.

Remnant-Preserving Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Remnant Envelope Technique.

Project description:The awareness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and their treatment is increasing among athletes and within the general population, so patients report early to orthopaedic surgeons. Because we encounter a thick ACL stump during arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, an attempt is made to preserve this stump. Remnant preservation-although promising in terms of graft healing because it enhances cell proliferation, revascularization, and regeneration of the proprioceptive organs in the reconstructed ACL-does not come without complications, such as cyclops lesions, impingement, and extension loss. These problems can be detrimental to an athlete's return to his or her preinjury level after ACL reconstruction. Therefore, we describe a technique in which the ACL is reconstructed using hamstring autograft and suture passes are made through the remnant with an antegrade suture-passing device. After anatomic tunnel drilling, the remnant is tensioned, along with the reconstructed ACL, at the femoral end without the use of an extra implant. Femoral-side fixation is achieved with an adjustable-loop button (Procinch; Stryker) and a bio-composite interference screw (Biosure Regenesorb; Smith & Nephew) on the tibial end. As the sutured remnant is tensioned and knots are made over the button, the remnant envelopes the graft in the orientation of the native ACL, which can be helpful for early and better ligamentization of the graft. The potential advantages of this technique are as follows: orientation of the remnant along the collagen of the ACL graft; no loose ACL stump in the notch, thus preventing cyclops lesions; retention of the proprioceptive organs in the ligament; and no extra implant.

Hybrid Remnant-Sparing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair-Reconstruction.

Project description:In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the remnant ACL is often debrided in an effort to improve visualization of patient anatomy and reduce surgical difficulty. However, retention of the tibial remnant of a torn ACL theoretically portends several advantages. These include preservation of knee proprioception and mechanoreceptors, an enhanced biological environment for healing, and accelerated revascularization and ligamentization of the graft. Despite these advantages, it is not a widely adopted practice and the optimal technique is still subject to debate. The purpose of this technical note is to describe our preferred technique for performing hybrid ACL reconstruction with remnant incorporation.

All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Augmentation Using the Native Anterior Cruciate Ligament Remnant by Suture Approximation.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture remains a debilitating orthopaedic pathology with a substantial economic and psychological burden on patients, especially athletes. The purpose of ACL reconstruction is to attain maximum joint stability and functionality, allowing patients to resume their previous level of activity. Several graft options and techniques are available for ACL reconstruction. The all-inside remnant-preservation technique is a minimally invasive approach aiming for improved proprioception, better graft integration, and increased graft strength via ACL augmentation by suture approximation with an optimal anatomic reconstruction. ACL augmentation is associated with a decreased risk of rerupture. Moreover, enhancement of knee proprioception via the presented technique allows an early return to activity by patients because weight bearing (with a brace) can be initiated as early as day 1 postoperatively. Patients can resume running activities by 2 months postoperatively and return to pivot sports by 3 months postoperatively. Despite this surgical procedure being technically demanding, it is associated with improved clinical outcomes and functional capacities. Patients are also found to better tolerate the postoperative rehabilitation protocol.

Clinical outcomes in stump-preserving versus stump-sacrificing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; a randomized controlled study.

Project description:BackgroundAnterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) aims to restore the anatomy and function of the knee. Although stump preservation during ACLR could be technically challenging, it may improve the revascularization and proprioceptive function of the graft. In this study, we aimed to compare the functional outcome after ACLR with and without stump preservation.MethodsOne hundred and twenty patients with acutely torn ACL and with intact tibial stump were included in this study. Half of them (60 cases) underwent ACLR with stump preservation. The other half (60 cases) had ACLR after total resection of the tibial stump. One hundred and nine out of 120 cases completed their 2 year-follow-up period. All patients were assessed by Tegner activity, Lysholm, and objective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores. The side-to-side difference regarding stability was assessed by KT-1000 instrumented Lachman and proprioceptive function was measured by Passive angle reproduction test.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding Tegner activity, Lysholm, and IKDC scores. Knee stability measured by KT-1000 and complication rate also showed no significant difference. But there was a significant difference in proprioception favoring stump preservation. On the other hand, the operative time was significantly shorter with stump resection. There was no significant difference in the complications rate between both groups and there were no cases with stiffness in either group.ConclusionStump preservation ACLR is a safe technique that yields equivalent functional outcomes to standard ACLR. However; it provides better proprioception. It is more technically challenging, but in experienced hands; it is easily reproducible.Trial registrationRegistration number: NCT05364398 . 06/05/2022.

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.

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.

Remnant-Preserving Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Arthroscopic Transseptal, Rod and Pulley Technique.

Project description:The preservation of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) remnant augmentation was recently proposed as a technique for PCL reconstruction. The technique achieved isometry and anatomic position of the PCL graft, but it was technically difficult. The present technique is a modified transseptal technique with visualization from both posteromedial and posterolateral portals. Moreover, this rod-pulley technique could prevent the killer turn effectively. The result was anatomic remnant augmented PCL graft.

A Bone-Hamstring Autograft for Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:We describe a bone-hamstring autograft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The semitendinosus and gracilis tendons are harvested using an open tendon stripper, keeping these distal tibial insertions intact. The bone-hamstring autograft is harvested using an oscillating saw. This modified autograft has the following advantages: (1) It possesses the potential for healing with the femur owing to its bone plug; (2) it is perfectly suited for various single-bundle reconstruction methods including oval-tunnel and rectangular-tunnel ACLR, as well as other flat ACLR methods; and (3) it is an attractive option for both primary ACLR and revision ACLR owing to its unique characteristics.
