Trapezoidal Achilles Tendon Allograft Plug for Revision Quadriceps Tendon Repair With a Large Tendon Defect.

ABSTRACT: Revision quadriceps tendon repair presents a challenging problem for the treating surgeon because of associated anatomic defects such as large tendon-gap deficits and preexistent poor tissue quality. Current methods for revision quadriceps tendon repair use tendon autograft, which may predispose to additional morbidity because the repair relies only on soft tissue fixation. In this Technical Note, we describe a technique for revision of a failed quadriceps tendon repair with a large tendon gap using a trapezoidal plug Achilles tendon allograft. This technique constitutes a safe and effective approach to revising failed primary quadriceps tendon repairs, is suitable for large-gap defects, and has the ability to withstand large force transmissions.

Quadriceps Tendon Reconstruction With Achilles Tendon Bone Block Allograft

Project description:Chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures are relatively uncommon albeit debilitating injuries to the knee extensor mechanism. Previous literature demonstrates worse reported outcomes with delayed surgical intervention, and no gold-standard technique currently exists for managing chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures. The goal of this technique is to provide orthopaedic surgeons an additional option that may provide a greater mechanical load to failure and greater allograft acceptance for cases with large tendon gapping or poor tissue quality that may not be viable to other lengthening techniques. We describe the repair of a chronic quadriceps tendon rupture using an Achilles tendon bone block allograft. Technique Video Video 1 Intraoperative video of a quadriceps reconstruction with an Achilles tendon bone block allograft. The patient is positioned supine with the surgeon operating through a central anterior incision from the mid-quadriceps to the patella tendon.

Open Repair of Quadriceps Tendon With Suture Anchors and Semitendinosus Tendon Allograft Augmentation.

Project description:Quadriceps tendinopathy in an increasingly recognized diagnosis can lead to quadriceps tendon rupture, especially in the older population. It can be caused by repeated micro trauma or also predisposed by systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and connective tissue disorders that can in turn lead to extensor mechanism deficits. Although a trial of conservative treatment is advocated, operative treatment should be performed in cases of persistent pain, extension deficit, or complete rupture of the tendon. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail a procedure for open repair of a quadriceps tendon, with significant degeneration due to quadriceps tendinopathy, using suture anchors and semitendinosus tendon allograft augmentation.

Revision Patellar Tendon Repair With Anchors, Allograft Augmentation, and Suspensory Fixation.

Project description:Ruptures of the patellar tendon are rare but potentially devastating injuries reported to occur most commonly in active males in their third and fourth decades of life. Repair failure rates have been reported to range between 2% and 50% based on surgical technique used. There are several inherent challenges associated with revision patellar tendon repair, including quadriceps atrophy, contracture, tissue loss, excessive scarring, and improper patella height. There remains no consensus regarding ideal revision patellar tendon repair technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred method for revision patellar tendon repair using suture anchors and allograft augmentation with adjustable loop suspensory fixation. On the basis of recent studies, we have carefully chosen our fixation and augmentation methods that have shown biomechanical promise, while allowing the surgeon to carefully titrate the patellar tendon length and accommodate for some patellar tendon tissue loss.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction with Achilles Tendon Allograft for Massive and Revision Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCT) in younger and active patients remain a significant clinical challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has been presented as a way to restore the restraining effect of the superior joint capsule and the balanced force couples necessary for dynamic shoulder function; furthermore, it does not exclude future treatment options. The purpose of this article is to show a technical modification of the SCR in massive and revision RCT using Achilles tendon allograft as an effective static restraint to prevent superior migration of the humeral head due to its thickness and robustness, and performing a side-to-side repair on the greater tuberosity between the graft and the residual infraspinatus tendon to completely restore the superior stability of the shoulder joint.

Hybrid Achilles Tendon Repair.

Project description:In the treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture, recent studies demonstrate that conservative treatment with functional rehabilitation provides good results, with nearly identical postoperative rerupture rates when compared with surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is indicated in patients with particular conditions, such as patients who are young active athletes who require early return to play or those who wish to avoid the muscle atrophy associated with conservative methods. If surgery is the selected option for treatment, the postoperative complications of each type of surgery must be considered. In conventional open repair, the most common complication is soft-tissue infection due to the high tension of soft tissue affected from the bowstring of the repaired tendon being kept in the equinus position of the ankle. For percutaneous methods, sural nerve entrapment and injury are the most commonly reported complications. Other methods, including endoscopy, require technical expertise as well as special equipment. Several types of combination approaches have been explored in the literature. We describe a combined open and percutaneous technique to repair the Achilles tendon, called the hybrid Achilles tendon repair. This technique has been developed to provide a simplified and reproducible method of hybrid repair in which the complications of previous methods are avoided and which can be done without special equipment.

Superior Capsular Reconstruction with Achilles Tendon Allograft.

Project description:Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has become an increasingly popular choice in the treatment of massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, pseudoparalysis, and in cases in which revision of previous rotator cuff repair is indicated. The SCR procedure is intended to restore the superior stabilizing forces of a deficient rotator cuff. This technique is accomplished by substituting an autograft or allograft between the superior glenoid and the greater tuberosity of the humerus, thus keeping the humeral head centered in the glenoid during shoulder forward flexion and abduction. Since its advent, numerous techniques have been described for this procedure. A fascia lata autograft was initially described; however, many surgeons in the United States have advocated for the use of a humeral dermal allograft. Yet, biomechanical studies have demonstrated elongation and thinning of this material. Thus, the Achilles tendon allograft may be an attractive choice for SCR, given its previous success with ligamentous and tendinous reconstructions. In this article, we present our technique of SCR using an Achilles tendon allograft.

Complex Anterior Cruciate Ligament Revision and Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis With Achilles Tendon Allograft: The "Monoloop" Technique.

Project description:Revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) presents many challenges that are not encountered in the primary setting and, therefore, requires thorough preoperative planning. Recently, there has been growing evidence showing that combining the anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction with ACL-R revision reduces the risk of postoperative ACL rupture and meniscal tears, and therefore, the ALL reconstruction becomes essential to a complex ACL revision. The technique that we describe is mainly used in the setting of complex ACL revision with extensive tunnel osteolysis associated with rotational instability of the knee. This article presents a technique for a one-stage complex ACL-R revision combined with ALL reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft with a bone plug.

Re-tensionable Quadriceps Tendon Repair Technique

Project description:Quadriceps tendon rupture is a devastating injury that has traditionally been repaired using bone tunnels and knot tying. Recent innovations seeking to address persistent weakness and gap formation of repairs have used suture anchors and knotless technology. Despite these innovations, the clinical outcomes of these repairs continue to be mixed. We describe a technique that leverages a pre-tied knotted high-tension suture construct to allow for a re-tensionable quadriceps repair. Technique Video Video 1 Re-tensionable quadriceps tendon repair surgical technique using FiberTape cerclage and transosseous tunnels.

Chronic Quadriceps Tendon Ruptures: Primary Repair of Quadriceps Via Bioaugmentation and Patellar Tendon Lengthening.

Project description:Quadriceps tendon ruptures are devastating injuries that impair the extensor mechanism of the knee. Complete tears require prompt surgical intervention in order to ensure optimal clinical outcomes. Chronic, neglected ruptures- marked by severe extensor lag, muscular atrophy, and tendon retraction- are difficult to treat. Further, severe patella baja complicates surgical planning. While there is no consensus on optimal treatment for these injuries, many different techniques have been proposed. Unlike many of these approaches, our technique focuses on restoration of patellar height via patellar tendon lengthening. Once patellar height is restored, quadriceps tendon repair can be performed using the native quadriceps tendon. Both the patellar tendon lengthening and the quadriceps tendon repair are augmented with bioinductive implants to ensure optimal healing environments, enabling us to reestablish native extensor mechanism function.
