Acromioclavicular Joint Repair Using a Suture Cerclage Tensioning System.

ABSTRACT: Injuries to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint are common among adults in their twenties and account for 8% of all joint dislocations. Although there are numerous operative approaches to treating AC joint separations, a gold standard does not exist because of lack of conclusive evidence supporting the use of 1 standard technique. In this Technical Note and accompanying video, we describe an anatomic AC joint repair using a suture cerclage tensioning system to accurately control the reduction and improve the precision and outcomes of the repair.

Arthroscopically Assisted Comprehensive Double Cerclage Suture Fixation Technique for Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Separation.

Project description:Acromioclavicular dislocations are some of the most frequently recorded and controversial injuries in the athletic population. These injuries have historically been a matter of disagreement between surgeons, particularly when it comes to the surgical technique used to treat them, its approach, or its timing. Consensus over the "gold standard" procedure to treat them is yet to be established. Even though numerous surgical techniques have already been described, the number of complications and loss of reduction remains a matter of concern for treating physicians. Here, we present an arthroscopically assisted coracoclavicular and horizontal acromioclavicular fixation technique in a modified figure-of-eight configuration using 2 strong FiberTape Cerclage sutures, with measurable tension, for the comprehensive treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocations.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation Repair: A Modified Technique for Horizontal Stabilization Using Suture Anchors.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation is a common lesion often resulting from a sports injury. Nowadays, treatment is still controversial mainly in grade III lesions according to the Rockwood classification. For most surgically treated AC acute dislocations, treatment is performed with an arthroscopic procedure that anatomically reconstructs the coracoclavicular ligaments. Increasing knowledge about AC joint biomechanics has underlined the importance of its horizontal stability through the superior and inferior AC ligaments. Moreover, the pattern of lesion tends to repeat itself, with the superior AC ligament being torn most frequently from the clavicular side in a peeling fashion. Therefore, the purpose of this note is to describe the technical aspects of additional horizontal stability through superior AC ligament repair using suture anchors.

Arthroscopy-Assisted All-Suture Coracoclavicular and Acromioclavicular Joint Stabilization in Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries.

Project description:The existing literature agrees on surgical management for Rockwood grade IV and V injuries, but there is no consensus which type of surgery is the most appropriate one. More than 150 surgeries have been described for this condition in the literature. In an injury of less than 3 weeks, most surgeons prefer suture-button devices for coracoclavicular stabilization. Recent biomechanical studies have demonstrated that coracoclavicular stabilization provides good vertical stability but poor horizontal stability of acromioclavicular joint. Hence, they recommend acromioclavicular stabilization along with coracoclavicular stabilization. The use of a suture-button device for coracoclavicular stabilization requires special implants and instruments along with high surgical skills to drill precisely placed holes in the clavicle and the coracoid in order to avoid fractures from the drill hole. Due to relatively smaller clavicle and coracoid in Asian population, making holes in the clavicle and the coracoid has increased risk of fracture. We describe a technique in which no drill holes are made in the clavicle or the coracoid. In our technique, suture tape is used, which is looped around the coracoid and the clavicle, and the limbs are tied over the clavicle to maintain the coracoclavicular distance. The remaining limbs of suture tape is further looped through the tunnels made in acromion and tied over the acromion to augment the acromioclavicular ligament. The potential advantages of this technique are no costly implant and instruments are required, avoidance of complications associated with drill holes in coracoid and clavicle, both coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints are stabilized, direct repair of the acromioclavicular ligament can be performed, and no need of second surgery for implant removal.

Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation: Repair Through Open Ligament Transfer and Nonabsorbable Suture Fixation.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint instability is a fairly common and particularly limiting injury that may result in persistent pain and reduced quality of life. In most cases, conservative management is successful. However, in the case of a severe AC joint dislocation, surgical intervention may be warranted. Previous surgical techniques for treatment of AC joint instability include screw fixation between the coracoid and clavicle, coracoacromial ligament transfer from its acromial insertion to the clavicle, and reconstruction of the coracoacromial and/or coracoclavicular ligaments. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique for the treatment of a high-grade AC dislocation through coracoacromial ligament transfer to the lateral clavicle and nonabsorbable suture fixation between the coracoid process and clavicle.

Open Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction With Semitendinosus Allograft Utilizing the Cerclage Technique.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries most commonly occur in young males after a direct injury at the acromion. General consensus stresses nonoperative treatment for type I and II injuries and surgical treatment for types IV through VI, whereas management of type III injuries is more controversial. If surgery is indicated, there are multiple techniques including hook plate, screw fixation, coracoclavicular fixation, and anatomic and nonanatomic reconstruction. The overall complication rate is high (14%), regardless of technique. In this Technical Note, we outline a technique for open repair of a chronic AC joint separation using a semitendinosus allograft using the cerclage for enhanced fixation.

All-Endoscopic Treatment of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation: Coracoclavicular Ligament Suture and Acromioclavicular Ligament Desincarceration.

Project description:Acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations are common and difficult to manage. The physiopathologic pattern begins with the rupture of the AC ligaments, then the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments, and with an invasion of the clavicle through the deltotrapezial fascia. Therefore, we tend to perform a true suture of the CC ligaments, along with a release of the AC ligaments from the joint. We thus propose an all-endoscopic CC ligament suture and AC joint release. It starts with glenohumeral exploration enabling a repair of concomitant lesions when necessary. Dissection of the coracoid process is made, along with the lateral border of the conjoint tendon, medially the pectoralis minor tenotomy, and plexus brachial exposition and protection. Superiorly the CC ligaments are tagged and exposed. A major difference with others procedure then arises. We dissect the inferior and superior surfaces of the clavicle and the AC joint, although we maintain the continuity between the deltotrapezoid fascia and the AC ligaments. The AC dislocation is reduced under endoscopic control performing a true suture of the CC ligaments by the mean of 2 suture tapes and dog bones. After surgery, a shoulder brace is used for 6 weeks. Physiotherapy then begins.

Patellar Fracture Fixation Using Suture Tape Cerclage.

Project description:Transverse patellar fractures are a relatively common injury and typically require surgical fixation. An adequate restoration of patella integrity is essential for proper functioning of the extensor mechanism of the knee and for the prevention of patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Currently, the treatment of transverse fractures of the patellar bone involves several surgical techniques, most of which involve the use of metallic implants. Despite good clinical results following surgery, numerous complications exist, including primarily symptomatic hardware following surgical treatment. The purpose of this article is to describe the technique for treatment of a transverse patellar fracture using a high-resistance tape (FiberTape; Arthrex) and a tensioner (Arthrex) instead of traditional metallic implants.

Arthroscopically Assisted Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction Using the Infinity-Lock Button System.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are the most common shoulder injuries in the athletic population. The literature is rife with various surgical techniques and implants as well as opinion on proper timing of surgical options. Patient outcomes are generally similar across fixation method. Complications are common following reconstruction, and the specific type of complication may depend on the technique used. Fracture and graft elongation are associated with use of allograft, whereas button cutout and skin irritation can occur with cortical suture-fixation methods. This technical paper describes an arthroscopically assisted acute AC joint reconstruction technique using the Infinity-Lock Button System. This technique provides a minimally invasive, low-profile reconstruction that may minimize risk of clavicle and coracoid fracture as well as overlying skin irritation. Acute reconstruction may permit healing of the native coracoclavicular and AC ligaments and mitigate risk of future AC joint arthritis.

Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular and Acromioclavicular Stabilization of Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation By Suspensory Fixation System.

Project description:Arthroscopic stabilization of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations using coracoclavicular suspension techniques has become more popular, but lack of horizontal stability is a major concern that furthermore affects the final outcome. We present an arthroscopic technique to stabilize acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations in both the vertical and horizontal planes, with better results than conventional coracoclavicular suspension techniques.
