Anatomical Remnant-Preserving Double-Bundle ACL Reconstruction With a New Remnant Augmentation Technique.

ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant preservation techniques have been recently introduced for covering the graft with remnant to improve the clinical results of ACL reconstruction. Several theoretical advantages exist for this technique; however, clinical results remain inconsistent and controversial. We have focused on the biomechanical function of the remnant and have been performing a new remnant-preserving reconstruction procedure that augments the graft with residual remnant. Preserving the structure and continuity of good-quality remnants may help maintain the early postoperative stress on the tendon graft, thereby providing a positive effect on remodeling. Although our concept is significantly different from previously reported remnant preservation techniques and has several pitfalls, the surgical technique that we outline in this report is simple and does not require specialized equipment. The procedure will also work more advantageously in preserving the residual mechanoreceptors in the remnant. We believe that this method can be a procedure with better results for patients with remnants that are in good condition.

Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Without Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction has long been attempted to obtain better clinical results than single-bundle PCL reconstruction. In most previous reports regarding double-bundle PCL reconstruction, one tibial tunnel and various kinds of grafts were used. We introduce a two-tibial tunnel, double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique with ultra-strong grafts. The critical points of this technique are proper creation of the tibial tunnels and the protection of the posterior neurovascular structures. Our clinical experience indicates this technique can lead to satisfactory stable outcomes. We believe that this technique will provide a reasonable choice for PCL reconstruction without remnant preservation.

Remnant-Preserving Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Remnant Envelope Technique.

Project description:The awareness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and their treatment is increasing among athletes and within the general population, so patients report early to orthopaedic surgeons. Because we encounter a thick ACL stump during arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, an attempt is made to preserve this stump. Remnant preservation-although promising in terms of graft healing because it enhances cell proliferation, revascularization, and regeneration of the proprioceptive organs in the reconstructed ACL-does not come without complications, such as cyclops lesions, impingement, and extension loss. These problems can be detrimental to an athlete's return to his or her preinjury level after ACL reconstruction. Therefore, we describe a technique in which the ACL is reconstructed using hamstring autograft and suture passes are made through the remnant with an antegrade suture-passing device. After anatomic tunnel drilling, the remnant is tensioned, along with the reconstructed ACL, at the femoral end without the use of an extra implant. Femoral-side fixation is achieved with an adjustable-loop button (Procinch; Stryker) and a bio-composite interference screw (Biosure Regenesorb; Smith & Nephew) on the tibial end. As the sutured remnant is tensioned and knots are made over the button, the remnant envelopes the graft in the orientation of the native ACL, which can be helpful for early and better ligamentization of the graft. The potential advantages of this technique are as follows: orientation of the remnant along the collagen of the ACL graft; no loose ACL stump in the notch, thus preventing cyclops lesions; retention of the proprioceptive organs in the ligament; and no extra implant.

Comparison of fixation methods of double-bundle double-tibial tunnel ACL reconstruction and double-bundle single-tunnel technique.

Project description:An experimental study was conducted in order to evaluate biomechanical methods of single-bundle reconstruction in ACL and compare it with a new double-bundle double-tibial tunnel technique. Twenty-four porcine cadaver knees, divided into 4 groups of 6 knees each and 48 proper extensors of the fourth toe tendons, were used for the fixation techniques. In groups A and B, a double-bundle technique with a single femoral and tibial tunnel was used, fixed to a femoral and tibial post with screws and with buttons, respectively. In groups C and D, a double-bundle technique (technique Delta) with two separate tibial tunnels was used, fixed to a femoral and tibial post with screws and with buttons, respectively. A material testing system (Instron) was used for anteriorly translating the tibia until failure. The femoral and tibial post as a fixation method is superior to the conventional buttons technique. The more anatomical double-bundle reconstruction technique provided significantly higher structural properties and smaller loss of fixation compared with the single-bundle reconstruction technique. The comparison of the two techniques gave superior results to the femoral and tibial screws over the buttons. The double-bundle technique attempts to restore the anterior stability of the knee joint.

Single-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Remnant always exists following injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). To improve the clinical outcomes of PCL reconstruction, preservation of the remnant has long been a consideration. However, how to make the remnant-preservation technique simple and more effective is of concern. We describe a single-bundle anatomical PCL reconstruction technique with remnant preservation in which the posteromedial and posterolateral portals are used, the graft is placed at the lateral side of the remnant, and pulleys are used to facilitate graft passage at the 2 killer turns of the grafting routes. We consider introduction of this technique will provide reasonable choices in PCL reconstruction.

ACL Reconstruction Preserving the ACL Remnant Achieves Good Clinical Outcomes and Can Reduce Subsequent Graft Rupture.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction techniques that preserve remnant tissues have been described, complete preservation may be difficult, with little known about its clinical advantages.PurposeTo compare clinical outcomes in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with and without ACL remnant preservation.Study designCase-control study.MethodsOf 372 patients who underwent surgical treatment of an ACL injury between September 2006 and July 2010, 154 had no remaining identifiable ligament tissue and were excluded from this study. Attempts were made to preserve the ACL remnant as much as possible in the remaining 218 patients. These patients were divided into 2 groups: those in whom the remnant was preserved (group 1, n = 85) and those in whom the remnant was not preserved (group 2, n = 98). Patients were followed for at least 24 months. Outcomes, including graft rupture, were compared in the 2 groups.ResultsTime from injury to surgery was significantly shorter (7.3 ± 16.3 vs 16.0 ± 30.3 months; P < .05) and the preinjury Tegner activity was significantly higher (7.6 ± 1.4 vs 7.1 ± 1.2; P < .05; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-13.7) in group 1 than in group 2. The postoperative negative ratio of the pivot-shift test was similar in the 2 groups (87% vs 81%). Anterior stability of the knee, as measured by a KT-2000 arthrometer, was significantly better in group 1 than in group 2 (1.0 ± 0.8 vs 1.3 ± 1.0 mm; P < .05). ACL graft rupture occurred in 1 patient (1.1%) in group 1 and in 7 patients (7.1%) in group 2 (P < .05). Regression analysis showed that preservation of the remnant decreased the likelihood of graft rupture (odds ratio, 11.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-101.7).ConclusionThese findings confirmed that preserving the remnant tissue of the ACL may facilitate recovery of function and decrease graft rupture after primary reconstruction.

Creation of an anatomic femoral tunnel with minimal damage to the remnant bundle in remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using an outside-in technique.

Project description:We established a method for creation of an anatomic femoral tunnel with minimal damage to the remnant bundle in remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The goals of this surgical technique were to preserve the remnant bundle as much as possible, especially at the femoral insertion, and to make the tunnel at the anatomic position. The critical points are that the posterior side of the femoral footprint of the ACL is observed through the posterolateral portal using a 70° arthroscope and a femoral tunnel is made by use of an outside-in technique with remnant preservation. This technique allows for easy viewing of the posterior side of the ACL and enables performance of an anatomic ACL reconstruction.

Anatomical Double-Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Autologous Semitendinosus, a Single Patellar Tunnel Technique.

Project description:Patellofemoral instability is one of the knee problems that can be found in up to 3% of knee injuries, especially in younger aged females. Recent biomechanical studies showed that the main soft tissue stabilizer for patellofemoral stability is the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). More than 200 articles on MPFL reconstruction have been published. Some surgical techniques create multiple holes in the patellar area that may increase the risk of patellar fractures. This technique that we present here attempts to reduce the chance of patella-related complications, while maintaining stability of the reconstructed construct, reducing the use of a lengthy tendon graft within the patella and covering the footprint at the border of the patella closed to the native anatomy of the MPFL.

Remnant-Preserving Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Arthroscopic Transseptal, Rod and Pulley Technique.

Project description:The preservation of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) remnant augmentation was recently proposed as a technique for PCL reconstruction. The technique achieved isometry and anatomic position of the PCL graft, but it was technically difficult. The present technique is a modified transseptal technique with visualization from both posteromedial and posterolateral portals. Moreover, this rod-pulley technique could prevent the killer turn effectively. The result was anatomic remnant augmented PCL graft.

Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:The clinical results of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCL) still leave much room for improvement. To get better knee stability, the double-bundle reconstruction, the use of strong grafts, and the preservation of the remnant have been applied. However, the combination of the 3 measures has seldom been reported. Thus I introduce a 4-tunnel double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique, in which I combine the use of strong grafts and preservation of the remnant. The critical point of this technique is manipulating skillfully across the femoral notch with the preservation, as well as the hindrance to operation of the PCL remnant. My clinical experience indicates this technique is somewhat complicated but most effective. I believe the introduction of this technique will provide an additional choice when PCL reconstruction is to be performed.

Anatomic Double-Bundle ACL Reconstruction With Extra-articular Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction and Internal Brace.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with additional procedures could be necessary for patients with increased preoperative pivot shift. Double-bundle (DB) ACLR provides more footprint coverage and recreates the 2 functional anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles, which are believed to give better joint function and stability than single-bundle (SB) ACLR. Internal brace augmentation with suture tape is proposed along with tendon graft in ACLR to protect the newly reconstructed ligament during rehabilitation. Additional reconstruction with anterolateral ligament (ALL) during ACLR has shown significant reduction in the level of persistent pivot shift. In Technical Note we present a modified surgical technique of combined anatomic DB ACLR and ALLR with hamstring autograft and internal brace, using button suspensory fixation device and aperture screws. The objective of this technique is to decrease residual anterior and rotational instability after ACLR and ALLR.
