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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Anatomic Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction With Semitendinosus Allograft: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint separations are common shoulder injuries in the active patient population. Nonoperative management is recommended for Rockwood type I and II injuries, whereas surgical reconstruction is recommended for type IV and VI separations. The management for type III and V injuries is more controversial and is determined on a case-by-case basis. A multitude of surgical reconstruction techniques exist, and there is little evidence to support one technique over another. The anatomic technique aims at reconstructing the coracoclavicular ligaments and bringing the clavicle back into its anatomic position. When the anatomic technique is augmented with a graft, biomechanical studies have shown superior reconstruction strength and stability compared with standard nonanatomic techniques. Additionally, anatomic reconstruction allows for better cosmesis and functional outcome measures at midterm follow-up compared with nonanatomic techniques. In this Technical Note, we describe our preferred technique for anatomic repair of acromioclavicular joint separation using a semitendinosus allograft.

Restoring Horizontal Stability of the Acromioclavicular Joint: Open Acromioclavicular Ligament Reconstruction and Repair With Semitendinosus Allograft.

Project description:Injuries to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint are common and comprise ∼12% of shoulder injuries. Stability to the AC joint depends on the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments for vertical stability and AC ligaments and capsular structures for horizontal stability. Injuries to the AC ligaments can lead to horizontal instability of the AC joint. There is no gold standard technique for treating these injuries surgically, and many of the described procedures focus on vertical instability rather than horizontal instability. This article describes an open AC ligament reconstruction with semitendinosus allograft to restore horizontal stability of the AC joint.

Combined Coracoclavicular and Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction with Allograft Using a Cerclage Tensioning System.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint separations are common shoulder injuries, yet standard treatment practices vary. Popular surgical techniques include reconstruction using allografts or neighboring ligaments as well as repair using screws and sutures. This Technical Note and accompanying video describe both an acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular joint reconstruction using an allograft to replace native acromioclavicular ligament along with an AC joint reduction using a Suture Cerclage System to precisely control reduction and restore anatomic alignment.

Anatomic Acromioclavicular Ligament Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus Autograft With Suture Augmentation: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations are common injuries and account for 3.2% of shoulder injuries. These injuries typically occur among adolescent and young adult athletes during contact sports, such as hockey, wrestling, and rugby. Low-grade AC joint separations (Rockwood grade I-II) are often successfully treated nonoperatively. High-grade AC joint separations (Rockwood grade IV-VI) have the potential to alter scapular kinematics, causing painful and restricted motion, and are often treated surgically. Over 150 surgical techniques have been described to treat AC joint separations. Techniques vary in the types of implants used (screws, pins), use of anatomic or nonanatomic reconstructions, number of drill holes used, use of arthroscopic or open procedures, use of distal clavicle resection, and types of augmentation (allografts, autografts, sutures). The procedure can be expensive, with the implants and grafts costing varied amounts and, at times, thousands of dollars. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe an inexpensive method of open anatomic AC joint reconstruction using a single bone tunnel, suture tape, and a semitendinosus autograft.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction Using the TightRope Device With Allograft Augmentation: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Surgical management of acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations remains challenging, especially in the revision setting. Most commonly, Rockwood type I and II injuries are managed nonoperatively whereas type IV, V, and VI injuries are managed with surgery. Type III separations are more controversial, with evidence supporting both nonoperative and operative treatment options. Multiple different arthroscopic techniques have been described; however, there is no current gold standard. AC joint reconstruction with the TightRope device (Arthrex, Naples, FL) with the patient in the lateral decubitus position is a method of restoring joint stability that allows for a minimally invasive, low-profile fixation construct using a single drill hole through the clavicle. Allograft augmentation of this fixation construct helps to eliminate the stress risers potentially created by this device while increasing overall repair construct stability. The purpose of this article is to describe the surgical technique for arthroscopic AC joint reconstruction using a TightRope device with allograft augmentation.

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.

Semitendinosus Allograft Cable Reconstruction Technique for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears are difficult to treat. Disruption of the rotator cable and joint capsule leads to altered glenohumeral joint mechanics, superior migration of the humeral head, and limited overhead function. A few graft options exist for reconstruction, with limited outcomes data. A newer technique using a hamstring allograft provides benefits compared with other graft reconstruction options. This Technical Note describes a rotator cable reconstruction using a V-shaped hamstring allograft for treatment of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear.

All-Arthroscopic Technique for Reconstruction of Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocations.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint dislocations are a common injury particularly among contact sports players. There has been an increasing trend toward arthroscopic management of these injuries. To date, these reconstructions have primarily addressed superoinferior instability by reconstructing the coracoclavicular ligaments. We describe an all-arthroscopic technique for reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligaments using Arthrex ABS TightRopes (Arthrex, Naples, FL), with additional stabilization of the superior acromioclavicular joint capsule using an anchor-based suture bridge to address anteroposterior instability.

Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction.

Project description:Our technique for acromioclavicular joint reconstruction provides a variation on coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction to also include acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction. An oblique acromial tunnel is drilled, and the medial limb of the gracilis graft, after being crossed and passed beneath the coracoid and through the clavicle, is passed through this acromial tunnel and sutured to the trapezoid graft limb after appropriate tensioning. Tenodesis screws are not placed in the bone tunnels to avoid graft fraying, and initial forces on the graft are offloaded with braided absorbable sutures passed around the clavicle.

Arthroscopic Acromioclavicular Joint Treatment With Coracoclavicular Fixation and Allograft Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction for Acute Acromioclavicular Dislocations.

Project description:Treatment of severe acromioclavicular joint injuries remains controversial and has evolved over the past 4-plus decades. Although several variations on reconstruction exist, an ideal technique will likely use a combination of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with suture backup stabilization, minimal drill holes to reduce the risk of fracture, arthroscopic-assisted guidance for anatomic graft and suture placement in and around the coracoid, and fluoroscopic-aided reduction to ensure an anatomic acromioclavicular joint. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe an arthroscopic-assisted coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with allograft using fluoroscopically guided and cerclage-controlled anatomic reduction of the acromioclavicular joint.
