Arthroscopic Lateral Retinacular Release and Modified Goldthwait Technique for Patellar Instability.

ABSTRACT: Surgical options for patellofemoral (PF) disorders include proximal or distal realignment, cartilage restoration techniques, open or arthroscopic lateral retinacular release, and medial soft-tissue reefing. Skeletal immaturity and donor-site morbidity can be of concern in most reconstructive procedures. The Goldthwait procedure with hemi-patellar transfer and medialization combined with arthroscopic lateral retinacular release results in medialization of the PF contact point in flexion and corrects maltracking to prevent recurrent patellar dislocation. This functional procedure is indicated for PF instability and has historically been used in children to accommodate the immaturity of the tibial tubercle and physis. The purpose of surgical correction is to improve PF tracking, reducing the lateralizing forces on the patella with the correction of the Q angle (angle between the quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon). The purpose of this Technical Note was to describe, in detail, arthroscopic lateral retinacular release combined with the modified Goldthwait procedure for recurrent patellar instability.

Arthroscopic Patellar Lateral Facetectomy.

Project description:Isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis is relatively prevalent, with the lateral facet of the patella being the most commonly affected portion. This pathology can be a result of a patellar maltracking syndrome, patella instability, or idiopathic degenerative changes. A thorough diagnostic work-up with a physical examination and imaging studies are mandatory for a proper diagnosis and to rule out other causes of patellofemoral knee pain. These patients are often treated nonoperatively with exercises for patella mobility, intra-articular injections, braces, patellar tracking, quadriceps balance and strength, and activity modification. Patients with lateral patellar pain that is refractory to nonoperative management, and who have a clear bony deformity on the patella overriding the lateral aspect of the trochlea, can benefit from surgical intervention. We recommend an arthroscopic lateral patellar facetectomy because the joint can be dynamically assessed, treated, and re-evaluated intraoperatively to ensure that normal bony contact has been restored.

Arthroscopic medial retinacular plication with a needle-hole technique.

Project description:Patellar instability is a common problem resulting in anterior knee pain. The medial patellofemoral ligament, which is part of the medial retinaculum, is often injured, and this damaged structure can affect normal patellar movement. Medial retinacular plication can correct this main pathology of patellar instability. Many studies have shown good to excellent results with medial retinacular plication with or without lateral retinacular release. This medial retinacular plication technique can also be performed arthroscopically. Arthroscopic medial reticular plication with a needle-hole technique is a treatment that uses the less invasive technique of arthroscopy, does not require tissue grafts, and has a greater cosmetic advantage than open procedures.

The Biomechanical Effects of Limited Lateral Retinacular and Capsular Release on Lateral Patellar Translation at Various Flexion Angles in Cadaveric Specimens.

Project description:Purpose:To determine the biomechanical effect of limited lateral retinacular and capsular release on lateral patellar translation as a function of constant force at various knee flexion angles. Methods:Six pairs of bilateral cadaveric knee specimens (12 knees) were obtained from a tissue bank, dissected, and potted in a perfect lateral position based on fluoroscopy. A direct lateral force was applied to the patella through an eye screw in the midpoint of the lateral patella, and each knee underwent testing in the intact state and after lateral retinacular and capsular release. All knees were tested at 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° of flexion using a custom-machined jig on a materials testing system with a 20-N lateral force applied to the patella. Patellar displacement was recorded and compared for each specimen. Results:Lateral displacement was significantly greater at all degrees of flexion for the lateral-release specimens than for an intact lateral retinaculum (P < .05). Compared with intact specimens, lateral-release specimens experienced 30% more translation at 0° of flexion and between 6% and 9% more lateral translation at 10° to 90° of flexion. Conclusions:Lateral retinacular and capsular release results in significantly increased lateral patellar translation at all flexion angles compared with intact specimens. This finding suggests that the lateral retinaculum may function as a significant restraint to lateral translation even with intact medial soft-tissue restraints. Clinical Relevance:Arthroscopic and open limited lateral retinacular releases should be performed with extreme caution when treating lateral patellar instability given the lateral retinaculum's apparent role as a secondary restraint.

Treatment of Proximal Trochlear Dysplasia in the Setting of Patellar Instability: An Arthroscopic Technique.

Project description:Patellar instability is a complex disorder with multiple etiologies, and treatment must be individualized to the unique pathoanatomy of each patient. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is one of the most commonly performed procedures for the treatment of patellar instability. Patients with a symptomatic supratrochlear spur, defined by the presence of a "jumping" J sign on examination, also may benefit from an adjunctive proximal trochlear resection. Here, we describe a technique for an arthroscopic proximal trochlear resection, or "bumpectomy," involving resection of the supratrochlear spur. In appropriately indicated patients, we have found this procedure to be a useful adjunct to medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction without the need for concurrent trochlear sulcus deepening.

Arthroscopic lateral epicondylitis release using the "bayonet" technique.

Project description:Most patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis respond well to conservative management. For patients who do not respond to nonoperative modalities, surgical treatment represents a viable option for long-term symptomatic relief. The arthroscopic surgical technique described in this article has been consistently used by the senior author for the treatment of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis for more than 5 years (198 patients) without the occurrence of any major complications and appears to be a safe, reliable, and efficacious surgical intervention for the management of lateral epicondylitis.

Surgical Technique for Obligate Flexion Patellar Dislocation: Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction, Distal Femoral Osteotomy, Quadricepsplasty, and Lateral Retinacular Reconstruction with Dermal Allograft.

Project description:Lateral patellar dislocation is a relatively common pathology that can be surgically treated with a medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. In rare occurrences patients can present with patellar maltracking that results in obligate patellar instability in flexion but central tracking in extension. This presentation can be much more complicated to treat surgically and may require a combination of multiple patellofemoral procedures. In this technique we describe a four-pronged treatment approach for improving patellar tracking in a patient with obligate flexion patellar dislocation and valgus malalignment including VY quadricepsplasty, distal femoral osteotomy, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, and lateral retinacular and capsular reconstruction with a dermal allograft.

Lateral patellotibial ligament reconstruction for medial patellar instability.

Project description:Medial patellar instability, though infrequently recognized, can be a disabling complication of a lateral retinacular release. Patients with persistent anterior knee pain and instability after lateral release should be evaluated closely. If evidence of increased medial patellar translation is identified on physical examination, a trial of reverse McConnell taping should be prescribed. If there is noted improvement in symptoms after this taping trial, reconstruction of the lateral patellotibial ligament should be considered. This article details our technique for lateral patellotibial ligament reconstruction using iliotibial band and patellar tendon autografts.

Management of Traumatic Coracoid Fracture and Anterior Shoulder Instability With a Modified Arthroscopic Latarjet Technique.

Project description:Coracoid fractures are an uncommon injury and typically occur in the setting of high-energy trauma. Isolated injury to the coracoid is rare; therefore, a high suspicion for concomitant shoulder injuries should exist. These associated injuries have been shown to be acromioclavicular dislocations, clavicular and acromial fractures, scapular spine fractures, rotator cuff tears, and anterior shoulder dislocations. Although most of these shoulder injuries respond to nonsurgical treatment, there are case reports and literature reviews that present more complicated injuries requiring surgical intervention. Shoulder dislocations with associated coracoid fractures can also manifest glenoid bone loss resulting in continued instability. In this scenario, the fractured coracoid can be used to address the glenoid bone loss, as well as the continued instability. Regarding technique, other authors have described an open procedure with screw or anchor fixation. This Technical Note describes our technique for treating a displaced Ogawa type II coracoid process fracture with concomitant anterior shoulder dislocation by an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using the fractured coracoid.

Deep Transverse Lateral Retinaculum Reconstruction for Medial Patellar Instability.

Project description:Medial patellar instability can be a disabling complication of an extensive lateral retinaculum release. It is often overlooked, and for the diagnosis, it is necessary to have a high index of suspicion. Typically, the patient feels a new pain and new instability after the lateral retinaculum release that are distinct from, and much worse than, those before surgery. All of our patients had significant relief from their pain with "reverse" McConnell taping. If there is a significant improvement in symptoms after this taping and stress radiographs or stress axial computed tomography scans show an objective pathologic medial patellar displacement, reconstruction of the lateral retinaculum should be considered. This article details our technique for reconstruction of the deep transverse layer of the lateral retinaculum using an anterior strip of the iliotibial band. This strip is detached from its insertion onto the Gerdy tubercle and then reflected proximally beyond the level of the lateral femoral epicondyle. Finally, it is attached either by direct suture to the remaining prepatellar and peripatellar retinaculum if there is adequate tissue present or by a suture anchor.

Arthroscopic Lateral Collateral Ligament Complex Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow, the Operative Technique.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability is concerning pathology in patients with recalcitrant lateral elbow pain. An arthroscopic technique can be used to perform reconstruction of lateral collateral ligament for eradicating the instability and also to manage concomitant lesions in a simultaneous operation. Similar to the modified Brostrӧm procedure using an inferior extensor retinaculum to augment the lateral collateral ligament for lateral ankle instability, in our Technical Note, we use anconeus muscles and annular ligament to augment the lateral collateral ligament for elbow instability during the reconstruction, allowing all tissue to heal with the bone by using a knotless technique.
