Project description:Current surgical techniques in ankle fracture management now include arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation. The need for minimally invasive fracture reduction techniques, which preserve soft tissue envelops and assists in overall anatomic reduction, can be refined and improved. The ankle is an ideal anatomic location for arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation due to the high incidence of intra-articular pathology and the poor long-term sequela of nonanatomic reduction. Thus, we propose using prone posterior ankle arthroscopic reduction internal fixation for posterior ankle fracture variants.

Project description:Arthroscopic-assisted internal fixation is an ideal technique for visualizing chondral reduction during tibial open reduction-internal fixation. Typically, open reduction-internal fixation is performed using radiographic and Fluoroscan imaging (Hologic, Bedford, MA) for reduction of subchondral bone. However, reduction without visualization does not ensure chondral surface reduction. This Technical Note and supplemental video describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique involving the tibial plateau that gives complete visualization as tamping occurs to restore the cartilage surface of the subchondral bone and elevate the fracture.

Project description:Fractures of the coracoid process are uncommon injuries and are usually the result of high-energy trauma or avulsion-type injuries. Typically coracoid fractures treated with nonoperative management have yielded good results. Operative treatment of coracoid fractures is reserved for a subset of clinical situations, including fracture nonunion. We detail our technique for arthroscopic debridement of a Type II coracoid fracture nonunion, as well as the use of arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation for a Type II coracoid fracture.

Project description:A displaced avulsion fracture at the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament is considered an indication for surgical reduction and internal fixation because nonunion and remaining posterior instability of the knee are common consequences of conservative treatment. The problems with standard open surgical techniques are that they are relatively invasive despite the limited operative field and it is impossible to explore intra-articular lesions by the posterior approach. An arthroscopic procedure has the advantage of being minimally invasive and allowing the surgeon to detect and treat associated intra-articular injuries. We present an arthroscopic reduction-internal fixation technique using an adjustable-length loop device. A trans-septal portal is created to visualize the fracture fragment directly, and the fragment is reduced and penetrated with a cannulated drill under fluoroscopic guidance. An adjustable-length loop device is relayed from the posteromedial portal and pulled out through the fragment in an anterograde fashion, placing a button on top of the fragment. By tightening the loop, downward compression can be applied to the fragment. Overall, this technique provides good reduction and bone union, and excellent clinical outcomes, including posterior knee stability, can be achieved.

Project description:Femoroacetabular impingement is uncommonly associated to a rim fracture. Complete resection of the fragment might result in iatrogenic instability or poor femoral head coverage. In this report, we describe the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic partial resection of a rim fracture, reduction and internal fixation of the remaining fragment to correct the impingement, and preserve the adequate acetabular coverage.

Project description:Tibial eminence fractures are an uncommon but well-described avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament. Treatment principles are based on the amount and pattern of fracture displacement. Management has evolved from closed reduction and immobilization to arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation followed by early rehabilitation. Various fixation methods have evolved, ranging from arthroscopic reduction and percutaneous screw fixation to arthroscopic suture repair. We present a technique for arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation using a cannulated drill bit and high-strength suture. This technique facilitates anatomic reduction with uncomplicated tunnel placement and suture passing in an effort to allow strong fixation and early rehabilitation.

Project description:We present a novel all-arthroscopic technique of posterior shoulder stabilization that uses suture anchors for both bone block fixation and capsulolabral repair. The bone graft, introduced inside the glenohumeral joint through a cannula, is fixed with 2 suture anchors. The associated posteroinferior capsulolabral repair places the bone block in an extra-articular position. In this article we present the detailed arthroscopic technique performed in a consecutive series of 15 patients and report the early results. We also report the positioning, healing, and remodeling of the bone block using postoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography. The benefits of this new technique are as follows: (1) it is all arthroscopic, preserving the posterior deltoid and posterior rotator cuff muscles; (2) it is accurate, resulting in appropriate bone block positioning; (3) it is efficient, allowing for consistent bone graft healing; (4) it is anatomic, both restoring the glenoid bone stock and repairing the injured posterior labrum; and (5) it is safe, limiting hardware-related complications and eliminating the risk of injury to vital structures associated with drilling or screw insertion from posterior to anterior. We believe that this technique is advantageous because it does not use screws for fixation and may be safer for the patient.

Project description:Proximal humerus fractures are common fractures that may occur after ground level falls or other traumatic events resulting in a direct injury to the shoulder. Depending on the fracture morphology and the age of the patient, anatomic reduction can vastly improve outcomes, especially in fracture patterns that involve the greater tuberosity. In this case example, we performed a minimally invasive, arthroscopic reduction and fixation of a proximal humerus fracture that involved significant displacement of the greater tuberosity. The technique employed is reproducible and avoids the morbidity of a large open incision while simultaneously providing compression of the fracture fragment for excellent healing potential.

Project description:This study describes an arthroscopic pullout fixation technique for small and comminuted avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament from the tibia. Intra-articular surgery required 3 arthroscopic portals, the anterolateral, anteromedial, and posteromedial portals. To simplify surgery, the posterolateral portal was omitted. A 2.4-mm K-wire was inserted through the anterior incision to the center of the bone fragment. This central guidewire was subsequently overdrilled with a 4.0-mm cannulated drill. The fixation material consisted of Pass Telos artificial ligaments inserted through the fiber loop of a fixed suspensory device such as RIGIDLOOP. The leading end of the thread of the RIGIDLOOP was pulled out through the anteromedial portal. The button of RIGIDLOOP was gradually advanced through the bone tunnel. The button was pulled out and flipped over the bony fragment. The artificial ligament was pulled distally to reduce the bony fragment, and fixed onto the tibia using a ligament button while applying anterior drawer force to the proximal tibia with the knee flexed at 90°. This minimally invasive procedure was successful in treating small and comminuted avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament.
