Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation of a Lesser Trochanter Avulsion Nonunion.

ABSTRACT: Identifying and treating avulsion fractures of the pelvis and proximal femur in adolescent athletes has become increasingly more important as the rate of competitive sports participation has grown. The majority of these fractures can be treated conservatively, with most returning to full activity. Surgical treatment of these injuries has been traditionally indicated for >2 cm displacement, painful nonunion, symptomatic exostosis formation, or persistent pain and symptoms. Lesser trochanter avulsion injuries are extremely rare and literature outlining their surgical treatment lacking. We present our method of arthroscopic reduction and fixation of lesser trochanter avulsion nonunions.

Lesser Tuberosity Avulsion Fracture Repair Using Knotless Arthroscopic Fixation.

Project description:Although some literature may suggest that acute nondisplaced lesser tuberosity fractures should undergo nonoperative management, there is a body of evidence that supports surgical stabilization of these injuries due to concern for fracture displacement, nonunion and malunion, anteromedial impingement, and possible biceps tendon subluxation or dislocation. In this Technical Note, we introduce a novel technique for arthroscopic fixation of lesser tuberosity avulsion fractures using a knotless repair. In the lateral decubitus position using standard arthroscopic portals, with the addition of the biceps accessory portal, 2 ULTRATAPE sutures are fixed to the avulsed fragment in luggage-tag fashion to create a secure, knotless fixation. These are used to mobilize and anatomically approximate the lesser tuberosity to the avulsion bed and are held in place with suture anchors placed immediately adjacent to the fracture bed. This technique provides good anatomic reduction with maximal surface area for bone-to-bone healing.

Arthroscopic Excision of an Osteoid Osteoma of the Lesser Trochanter of the Femoral Neck.

Project description:Osteoid osteoma frequently requires surgical treatment, especially among young, active patients. However, surgeons are reluctant to perform open surgery for an osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck area because the conventional surgical approach requires a large incision in muscular patients, and percutaneous resection with a trephine has the attendant risk of subsequent fracture. Recently, arthroscopic excision of an osteoid osteoma has been reported as a less invasive, safer procedure than traditional open curettage. Hip arthroscopy using the burr-down technique under C-arm guidance to locate and remove the lesion of the femur neck has also shown promise. The presented technique minimizes muscle damage around the femur and enables surgeons to confirm complete resection of the lesion through direct, detailed visualization. Furthermore, early return to previous activity can be achieved after excising the lesion located at the calcar femorale, which is an area with a heavy weight-bearing load. The objective of this Technical Note was to describe our preferred technique for the surgical excision of osteoid osteoma located at the base of the femoral neck through the use of arthroscopy.

Arthroscopic Iliopsoas Release at the Level of the Lesser Trochanter Following Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:Iliopsoas impingement is an uncommon cause of pain after total hip arthroplasty. If pain persists after a trial of conservative treatment, surgical intervention can alleviate the patient's symptoms. Multiple advantages exist to release the iliopsoas tendon at the level of the lesser trochanter. The purpose of this Technical Note is to demonstrate a technique for arthroscopic release of the iliopsoas tendon at the lesser trochanter after total hip arthroplasty.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Using an Adjustable-Length Loop Device.

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.

Arthroscopic Reduction of Tibial Spine Avulsion: Suture Lever Reduction Technique.

Project description:Tibial spine avulsion fractures are uncommon knee injuries that predominantly occur in children and young adults. Restoration of anterior cruciate ligament length through surgical reduction and fixation of the fracture is necessary to ensure stability of the knee with suitable range of motion and minimal knee laxity. Arthroscopic repair of tibial spine avulsion fractures is a technically complex procedure, specifically when performing and maintaining the initial anatomic reduction. We describe in this technical note and accompanying video a unique 3-point fixation repair of tibial spine avulsion fractures using an arthroscopic assisted suture lever reduction technique. Our technique is both simple and efficacious in the reduction of tibial spine avulsion fractures to anatomic position by passing the first suture through the anterior cruciate ligament, and subsequently anterior to the avulsion fragment, and then beneath the fragment through a posteriorly placed bone tunnel within the tibial fracture bed.

Lesser Trochanter Osteoplasty for Ischiofemoral Impingement.

Project description:Ischiofemoral impingement is a newly recognized cause of extra-articular hip pain, and is caused by contact between the lesser trochanter and ischium. Surgical intervention has been proven successful for patients with persistent pain and disability after failure of nonoperative management. This technique article provides a reliable method for endoscopic lesser trochanter osteoplasty using an anterior approach.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation of Tibial Spine Avulsion Fractures by a Stainless Steel Wiring Technique.

Project description:Several techniques of arthroscopic treatment of tibial spine avulsion fractures have been described in the literature. These techniques include the use of various fixation devices such as screws, K-wires, wiring, sutures, and suture anchors. In this study, we evaluate a new wiring technique for the treatment of these injuries. This technique involves fixation by stainless steel tension wires passed over the fractured spine and tied over a bone bridge. The advantages of this technique are that it aids in reduction, allows for compression of the tibial spine fragment anatomically in its fracture bed, provides stable fixation in difficult comminuted fractures, and allows for early mobilization and weight bearing because of the solid fixation.

Arthroscopic Single-Tunnel Pullout Suture Fixation for Tibial Eminence Avulsion Fracture.

Project description:Various arthroscopic techniques have been devised for fixation of tibial eminence avulsions, namely percutaneous K-wires, arthroscopy-guided screw fixation, staples, TightRope (Arthrex)-suture button fixation, and transosseous suture fixation. Such techniques provide well-pronounced advantages including less postoperative pain, a reduced hospital stay, and minimal scar with resultant earlier and more compliant rehabilitation. As for transosseous suture fixation, the standard technique comprises the creation of 2 tibial tunnels exiting on both sides of the footprint of the avulsion fracture using an anterior cruciate ligament tibial guide with the angle set at 45°. Our technique entails the creation of a single tibial tunnel directed from the proximal anteromedial tibia to the center of the tibial eminence. The technique uses Ethibond suture (No. 5) and/or FiberWire suture (Arthrex) to fix the tibial eminence by pulling the anterior cruciate ligament fibers and tightening the pullout suture at the tibial exit of the tunnel with a 4-hole button. This modified single-tunnel pullout suture technique is an appealing option that has proved to be effective and economical with a shorter operative time. Moreover, it provides a less invasive option for skeletally immature patients.
