Arthroscopic Medial Meniscal Transplant Using Multiple Fixation Techniques.

ABSTRACT: The critical role of the meniscus in the biomechanics of the knee and articular cartilage preservation has led to an increased awareness of the importance of the meniscus. Meniscal allograft transplantation is a challenging surgical intervention that is saved as a last resort for patients who meet stringent criteria for salvage from meniscal deficiency. Proper arthroscopic implantation of a meniscal allograft takes precision and implementation of multiple fixation techniques to obtain a successful outcome.

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.

Medial Meniscal Ramp Lesions: An Arthroscopic Classification.

Project description:Medial meniscus ramp lesions are commonly associated with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. These lesions were defined previously as longitudinal tears around the meniscocapsular junction at the level of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. However, the recent interpretation of the ramp lesions, their causation, anatomical studies, and histologic studies has uncovered a different dimension to these lesions. With recent knowledge of anatomy and soft-tissue attachments around the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, the attachments of the articular capsule, posteromedial capsule, meniscocapsular ligament, meniscotibial ligament, and semimembranosus, there is a need to understand these injuries differently. Because the anatomical structures injured during the ramp lesion will decide the treatment strategy to repair it anatomically, a review of the classification and repair techniques is necessary. The existing classification is descriptive and does not suggest a repair strategy for each classification. Because the ramp lesion, by definition, does not affect the meniscus tissue, it is a peel-off injury of the posteromedial structures. Hence, injury to the meniscus without injury to the meniscocapsular ligament, or meniscotibial ligament, cannot be classified as a ramp lesion. This article proposes an arthroscopic and functional classification.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscal Allograft Transplantation with Modified Bone Plug Technique.

Project description:The meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) has been reported to be an effective treatment in terms of pain relief and functional improvement in symptomatic meniscus-deficient knee. The medial MAT is usually performed with the bone plug technique or soft tissue fixation for root fixation. We describe medial MAT with modified bone plug technique that permits easy passage of posterior bone plugs and facilitates bone-to-bone healing. With this method, an anterior bone plug with a long cylindrical shape is prepared, and the posterior bone plug is prepared with a flat bone shell containing a cancellous portion. This modified technique facilitates graft passage as well as bone-to-bone healing.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Fixation Using a Modified Mason-Allen Stitch.

Project description:A complete radial tear of the meniscus posterior root, which can effectively cause a state of total meniscectomy via loss of hoop tension, requires that the torn root be repaired. Several methods have been used to repair medial meniscus posterior root tears, most of which are based on a simple stitch technique that is known to have stitch-holding strength. We applied a modified version of the Mason-Allen stitch technique, which is recognized as a method for rotator cuff repair surgery because its locking effect overcomes the potential weakness of simple stitches. This article introduces the medial meniscus posterior root tears repair procedure based on a modified Mason-Allen stitch technique in which 2 strands (i.e., 1 simple horizontal and 1 simple vertical stitch) are used.

Arthroscopic tibial spine fracture fixation: Novel techniques.

Project description:Proper knee kinematics depends upon the integrity of ACL at its femoral and medial tibial spine attachments. Tibial spine fractures disrupt this complex and if untreated can lead to pain, instability and functional limitation. So proper diagnosis and early treatment of tibial spine avulsion fracture is important. Tibial spine fractures are often associated with intra-articular injuries which are more common in adults. Diagnosis and treatment of these associated injuries along with proper fixation of tibial spine fractures are essential. Surgical options for tibial spine fractures include reduction and fixation through arthrotomy or arthroscopic technique. Arthroscopic technique is now more popular as it allows accurate diagnosis and treatment of associated injuries, reduction and fixation of all types of tibial spine fractures and reduced morbidity compared with open techniques.

Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Fixation Technique Using Multiple All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common injury, particularly among active young individuals. Numerous surgical procedures for treating acute, high-grade AC joint dislocation have been reported. However, no standard surgical procedure that restores the normal kinematics of the AC joint is available. Among the available coracoclavicular (CC) fixation techniques, cortical button fixation was recently introduced, and it has had successful outcomes. Moreover, it is advantageous because it can be used in arthroscopic procedures. However, because of the limited number of fixation tools, a fundamental problem in terms of horizontal instability and gradual subsidence of cortical buttons has been observed, eventually leading to a threat to vertical stability. Therefore, we developed a unique CC fixation technique with multiple small tunnels using all-suture anchors, which may overcome potential complications caused by cortical buttons that require bone tunnels with relatively large diameters. This arthroscopic CC fixation technique was designed to achieve the ideal horizontal and vertical stability that may restore native AC kinematics.

Arthroscopic Meniscal Allograft Transplantation With Soft-Tissue Fixation Through Bone Tunnels.

Project description:Meniscal allograft transplantation improves clinical outcomes for patients with symptomatic meniscus-deficient knees. We describe an established arthroscopic technique for meniscal allograft transplantation without the need for bone fixation of the meniscal horns. After preparation of the meniscal bed, the meniscus is parachuted into the knee through a silicone cannula and the meniscal horns are fixed with sutures through bone tunnels. The body of the meniscus is then fixed with a combination of all-inside and inside-out sutures. This technique is reliable and reproducible and has clinical outcomes comparable with those of bone plug fixation techniques.

Arthroscopic Transtibial Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair Using the "Meniscal Track" to Locate the Anatomical Footprint.

Project description:The medial meniscus posterior root tears are a common problem in early elder patients. From a biomechanical study, the anatomical repair demonstrated a restored contact area and contact pressure than the nonanatomical repair. Nonanatomical repair of the medial meniscus posterior root resulted in decreased tibiofemoral contact area and increased contact pressure. Various surgical repair techniques were reported in the literature. However, there was no reported precise arthroscopic landmark to define the anatomical footprint of the posterior root attachment of the medial meniscus. We propose the "meniscal track", an arthroscopic landmark to guide the location of the anatomical footprint of the medial meniscus posterior root attachment.

Arthroscopic All-Suture Anchor Technique for Unstable Ramp Lesions with Medial Meniscal Defects.

Project description:A ramp lesion is a specific type of tear in the meniscocapsular junction of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, usually associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Biomechanical cadaveric studies have shown that ACL injury combined with ramp lesions significantly increases anterior tibial translation and external rotation, which ACL reconstruction alone cannot completely control. Additionally, ramp lesions are sometimes associated with medial meniscal defects, especially in cases of chronic ACL deficiency after repetitive traumatic events, in which the anatomical repair of the meniscocapsular junction is infeasible. This report describes a new arthroscopic repair technique using an all-suture anchor through a posteromedial portal for unstable ramp lesions with medial meniscal defects.
