Project description:An os acetabuli (OA) increases the contact area and surface area of the acetabulum and is important to maintain congruity of the hip joint. Thus preservation of this ossicle is important to prevent loss of contact area and ensure containment of the femoral head. We describe an all-arthroscopic approach to the fixation of OA with a compression screw. Initially, the fibrous tissue is debrided between the acetabular rim and the OA, a guidewire is placed through the OA up to the acetabular rim, and a screw is inserted over the wire. Compression of the OA is achieved with bone-to-bone contact. This technique prevents loss of femoral head coverage, reducing the risk of subluxation and subsequent osteoarthritis.

Project description:Os acromiale is a relatively common anatomic variant that can occasionally be associated with shoulder pain. Several surgical options to address a symptomatic os acromiale that has failed nonoperative treatment have been described. Published techniques, however, are often very invasive, technically challenging, and carry the risk of potential complications that can be difficult to manage. The technique presented here describes a relatively simple arthroscopic alternative, coined by the authors as the "Wallow technique" due to the fact that the arthroscopic shaver is used to rotate within and resect the os site, that results in complete resection of the os acromiale pseudoarthrosis and avoids the need for an open approach or the use of implants.

Project description:PurposeOs acromiale is a common entity in the middle-age group, in whom it is frequently associated with rotator cuff tears. However, it can be a cause of shoulder pain in the young athletes. We want to increase awareness of this pathology that may occultly affect the young athlete as well as to present the results of a perfusion-preserving arthrodesis.MethodsFour consecutive young patients (17-21 years old) with a history of at least 6 months of unrecognized shoulder pain were surgically treated for os acromiale. Through a superior approach, stabilization of the neo-joint by means of cannulated screws and autogenic graft augmentation was performed.ResultsUnion of the os acromiale was achieved in all the patients. They had an excellent functional outcome, reaching all the maximum Simple Shoulder Test (12) and Oxford shoulder Score (48) scores. All the patients were able to return to their previous sports level.ConclusionAwareness of the os acromiale in the young athlete, appropriate clinical examination, and image studies are crucial to confirm diagnosis. Surgical treatment aiming at fusion in situ has shown excellent result.

Project description:Posterior shoulder instability occurs when the labrum detaches posteriorly from the glenoid owing to significant trauma and is a relatively uncommon type of shoulder dislocation. Although posterior instability has often been treated with open shoulder stabilization, modern arthroscopic procedures are being rapidly pursued by surgeons as an improved option because of decreased invasiveness and reduced operative times. Arthroscopic stabilization of the posterior glenoid labrum typically involves 2 working portals, but the procedure still yields successful results when performed with a single posterior portal and a suture passer. Our technique involves 1 less portal to reduce invasiveness, lower the risk of nerve damage, and decrease the operative time and postoperative pain. The purpose of this article is to describe an arthroscopic posterior stabilization technique with a single working portal.

Project description:In order to understand mechanisms of strategy switching in the stabilization of unstable dynamics, this work investigates how human subjects learn to become skilled users of an underactuated bimanual tool in an unstable environment. The tool, which consists of a mass and two hand-held non-linear springs, is affected by a saddle-like force-field. The non-linearity of the springs allows the users to determine size and orientation of the tool stiffness ellipse, by using different patterns of bimanual coordination: minimal stiffness occurs when the two spring terminals are aligned and stiffness size grows by stretching them apart. Tool parameters were set such that minimal stiffness is insufficient to provide stable equilibrium whereas asymptotic stability can be achieved with sufficient stretching, although at the expense of greater effort. As a consequence, tool users have two possible strategies for stabilizing the mass in different regions of the workspace: 1) high stiffness feedforward strategy, aiming at asymptotic stability and 2) low stiffness positional feedback strategy aiming at bounded stability. The tool was simulated by a bimanual haptic robot with direct torque control of the motors. In a previous study we analyzed the behavior of naïve users and we found that they spontaneously clustered into two groups of approximately equal size. In this study we trained subjects to become expert users of both strategies in a discrete reaching task. Then we tested generalization capabilities and mechanism of strategy-switching by means of stabilization tasks which consist of tracking moving targets in the workspace. The uniqueness of the experimental setup is that it addresses the general problem of strategy-switching in an unstable environment, suggesting that complex behaviors cannot be explained in terms of a global optimization criterion but rather require the ability to switch between different sub-optimal mechanisms.

Project description:Os acetabuli is thought to be the result of an unfused ossification center or an acetabular rim fracture in the setting of femoral-sided femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Historically, patients with symptomatic hips have been treated with resection alone; however, in patients with large bone fragments or with reduced acetabular coverage prior to surgical intervention, iatrogenic dysplasia and structural instability may develop after resection. Therefore, for patients with an acetabular os, labral tearing, and cam-type femoroacetabular impingement, internal fixation of the os acetabuli, femoral osteochondroplasty, and labral repair have been described. We propose a "suture-on-screw" arthroscopic technique to simultaneously address both the labral tear and os acetabuli, thereby reducing the number of suture anchors required for labral fixation, leading to an efficient and cost-effective approach for the treatment of these patients.

Project description: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.

Project description:Subtle syndesmotic instability not evident on radiography can result in chronic ankle pain. The diagnosis is uncommon, and arthroscopic evaluation remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Definitive surgical management can be performed at the time of diagnosis. Patients with 2 to 4 mm of diastasis of the syndesmosis or translation can be treated with debridement alone, and patients with 4 mm or more of diastasis or translation can be treated with arthroscopic debridement and reduction followed by percutaneous stabilization. Percutaneous stabilization is accomplished by a TightRope technique, which involves passing 1 or 2 suture buttons through all 4 cortices of the distal tibia and fibula. This technique is used in lieu of the traditional syndesmotic screw, which requires a subsequent operation for removal.

Project description:An acute perilunate wrist injury that is unreduced for more than 6 weeks results in severe disability, and even open reduction with stabilization through wide dorsal and volar approaches is technically challenging. This report describes an arthroscopic technique for reduction and percutaneous wire stabilization of a chronic perilunate wrist dislocations. The technique involves initial radiocarpal and midcarpal access through the 6R and 3-4 portals, and these portals are used for synovectomy and debridement of capsular flap tears. The midcarpal joint is accessed initially through the radiocarpal joint, and additional midcarpal portals are used for sequential perilunate adhesiolysis before carpal mobilization and reduction. A percutaneous wire drilled into the lunate is used as a joystick to manipulate the lunate into its anatomic alignment along the carpal bones, and percutaneous transcarpal wire fixation is performed to stabilize the carpus. Arthroscopic and fluoroscopic guidance is used to optimize anatomic reduction and to confirm stability. The wrist is immobilized for 6 weeks; the percutaneous wires are removed thereafter, and the wrist is mobilized. Overall, the arthroscopic technique provides a safe and reproducible method for treatment of this complex chronic injury.
