A Technique Using a Low-Cost, Accessible Cannula to Aid Scaffold Passage in Dry Arthroscopic Cartilage Repair in the Knee.

ABSTRACT: Although autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis has grown increasingly popular, it can be technically challenging to place the scaffold within the knee efficiently without extending the arthroscopic incisions. To facilitate arthroscopic placement of the matrix into the knee, we developed a technique that involves fashioning a cannula from a standard 5-mL syringe. This technique enables surgeons to conveniently and efficiently place the matrix through the standard arthroscopic ports at minimal cost.

A Technique Using an Easy-to-Fabricate Cannula to Manage Sutures and Aid Graft Passage in Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction.

Project description:Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction has become a popular technique used to restore shoulder function in superior cuff deficiency. Passage of the graft via the portal sites is prone to entanglement with sutures and graft twisting. To make shuttling of the graft easier, and reduce the risk of suture entanglement, we developed a technique involving fabricating a suture management cannula from a simple sterile 10-mL syringe. The benefits of this technique are that it allows multiple sutures to be managed easily, avoiding entanglement of the graft during passage and attachment.

Dry Arthroscopic Single-Stage Cartilage Repair of the Knee Using a Hyaluronic Acid-Based Scaffold With Activated Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Project description:Cartilage lesions of the knee are a frequent finding; however, treatment options that are capable of restoring hyaline-like tissue are not routinely used. Cell-based technology such as autologous chondrocyte implantation may in some cases provide durable cartilage repair, but availability of this procedure is often restricted due to cost constraints. There have been promising outcomes reported with the use of scaffolds seeded with activated bone marrow aspirate concentrate in cases of chondral injury. There are clear advantages to cell-based cartilage repair techniques that are performed as a single-stage procedure, particularly when the repair technology can be used in a minimally invasive manner. We present an arthroscopic technique of cartilage repair using a hyaluronic acid-based scaffold associated with activated bone marrow aspirate concentrate. This technique is a cost-effective, minimally invasive, single-stage procedure that has the potential for routine use in a wide range of cartilage lesion types and locations.

Arthroscopic cartilage regeneration facilitating procedure for osteoarthritic knee.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment for osteoarthritic knee is a controversy. This study presents the technique of a novel concept of arthroscopic procedure and investigates its clinical outcome. METHOD: An arthroscopic procedure targeted on elimination of focal abrasion phenomenon and regaining soft tissue balance around patello-femoral joint was applied to treat osteoarthritis knees. Five hundred and seventy-one knees of 367 patients with osteoarthritis received this procedure. There were 70 (19%) male and 297 (81%) female and the mean age was 60 years (SD 10). The Knee Society score (KSS) and the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) were used for subjective outcome study. The roentgenographic changes of femoral-tibial angle and joint space width were evaluated for objective outcomes. The mean follow-up period was 38 months (SD 3). RESULTS: There were 505 knees in 326 patients available with more than 3 years follow-up and the mean follow-up period was 38 months (SD 3). The subjective satisfactory rate for the whole series was 85.5%. For 134 knees with comprehensive follow-up evaluation, the KSS and all subscales of the KOOS improved statistically. The femoral-tibial angle improved from 1.57 degrees (SD 3.92) to 1.93 degrees (SD 4.12) (mean difference: 0.35, SD 0.17). The joint space width increased from 2.02 millimeters (SD 1.24) to 2.17 millimeters (SD 1.17) (mean difference: 0.13, SD 0.05). The degeneration process of the medial compartment was found being reversed in 82.1% of these knees by radiographic evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these observations arthroscopic cartilage regeneration facilitating procedure is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee joint and can be expected to satisfy the majority of patients and reverse the degenerative process of their knees.

Arthroscopic Evaluation of Knee Cartilage Using Optical Reflection Spectroscopy.

Project description:Articular cartilage is critical for painless and low-friction range of motion; however, disruption of articular cartilage, particularly in the knee joint, is common. Treatment options are based on the size and depth of the chondral defect, as well as involvement of subchondral bone. The gold standard for evaluation of articular cartilage is with arthroscopy, but it is limited by its ability to objectively judge the depth and severity of chondral damage. Optical reflection spectroscopy has been introduced to objectively assess the thickness of cartilage. We present a technique to systematically evaluate the articular cartilage of the knee using BioOptico optical reflection spectroscopy (Arthrex) to better evaluate those with visible chondral and subchondral defects.

Single-Stage Arthroscopic Cartilage Repair With Injectable Scaffold and BMAC.

Project description:Injectable scaffold augmentation is a promising modality for single-stage cartilage repair. According to published studies, cartilage repair with scaffold augmentation has improved clinical outcomes, radiological fill, and histological repair compared with microfracture alone. Injectable scaffolds have the versatility to be used in large and irregularly shaped lesions. With correct preparation, they can be applied to lesions on the femoral condyle that may be vertical, or even inverted lesions such as those in the patella. They can be combined with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) to provide mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), thereby avoiding the need for microfracture. This protects the subchondral plate, preventing biomechanical alteration and potentially resulting in improved long-term outcomes. In this article, we demonstrate the utility of injectable scaffolds and their combination with BMAC.

Arthroscopic Technique for Isolated Posterolateral Rotational Instability of the Knee.

Project description:Isolated posterolateral corner injury is an uncommon injury that could be a source of unexplained knee pain and dysfunction. Most of these patients present instability caused by concomitant ligament injuries. Numerous studies have shown open approach posterolateral repair or reconstruction surgeries to restore posterolateral rotational stability. Still, there is a certain population of patients who present posterolateral rotation instability without significant injury to the fibular collateral ligament, popliteal fibular ligament, and popliteus tendon. The posterolateral capsular ligament is critical to provide posterolateral rotation stability. In this Technical Note, with video, we show a completely arthroscopic approach to stabilize the posterolateral corner, by stabilizing the posterior lateral joint capsule with the lateral meniscus attached to the rim of the lateral tibial plateau.

Dry arthroscopy with a simple retraction technique for knee joint cartilage repair using allogenic human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cell treatment has become more widely available and has shown promising potential for the repair of knee articular cartilage defects. More recently, open arthrotomy has been performed via a para-patellar incision for cartilage repair using allogenic human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs). However, arthroscopy allows better visualization and leads to earlier gain of the range of motion and less scar formation than open arthrotomy, especially in the knee joint. In this study, we present an easy and effective technique for arthroscopic hUCB-MSCs implantation without any special equipment.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Capitellum Osteochondritis Dissecans With Micronized Allogeneic Cartilage Scaffold.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is a common disorder that causes pain and functional limitation in the adolescent elbow. Although conservative management is the first line of treatment, surgical intervention is usually recommended for patients with persistent mechanical symptoms, loose bodies, or unstable lesions. Elbow arthroscopy has become the gold standard to evaluate and treat symptomatic OCD lesions. Arthroscopic debridement and bone marrow stimulation have been shown to yield good short-term results. Unfortunately, long-term follow-up has shown less favorable outcomes, with degenerative changes frequently documented. Current marrow stimulation techniques promote the formation of fibrocartilage, which is known to be less durable than hyaline cartilage. We describe an arthroscopic technique of debridement and drilling supplemented with a micronized allogeneic cartilage scaffold to address OCD lesions of the capitellum in an effort to promote hyaline cartilage formation.

Clinical Outcomes of an All-Arthroscopic Technique for Single-Stage Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis in the Treatment of Articular Cartilage Lesions of the Knee.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of an all-arthroscopic approach to autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) for patients with articular cartilage lesions of the knee joint. We hypothesize that an all-arthroscopic, single-stage AMIC using a hyaluron-based cell-free scaffold improves the postoperative clinical scores for patients with isolated articular cartilage lesions of the knee in the early follow-up period.MethodsAll patients with focal osteochondral lesions of the knee treated with AMIC at our institution from November 2013 to January 2018 were included for analysis. Demographic information, baseline clinical characteristics, perioperative imaging, and follow-up International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores at 6 and 24 months postoperatively were collected. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a Bonferroni correction was used to assess for improvement before and after surgery, with statistical significance defined as p < .05.ResultsA total of 22 patients met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed for this study. Articular cartilage lesions were most commonly found at the center of the medial and lateral femoral condyles. Statistically significant improvements in IKDC scores were seen at the 6- and 24-month follow-up periods (p < .05).ConclusionAn all-arthroscopic technique for single-stage autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis demonstrates significant early clinical improvement for the treatment of articular cartilage lesions of the knee.Level of evidence4.

Arthroscopic knee cartilage repair with covered microfracture and bone marrow concentrate.

Project description:In recent years several single-stage cartilage repair approaches have been devised to treat focal cartilage lesions. These usually associate microfracture (MFX) and a coverage scaffold. We describe a novel arthroscopic technique that combines MFX, autologous bone marrow concentrate (BMC), and a protective scaffold. Bone marrow aspirate from the iliac crest is centrifuged to obtain BMC. The cartilage defect is debrided, MFX holes are created, and the final defect is measured by use of a bent K-wire. The scaffold is then shaped to match the defect, immersed in BMC, introduced into the joint with a grasper, and fixed in place with a mixture of fibrin glue and BMC. This technique aims to augment the original single-stage procedure with a number of mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors contained in the BMC, to increase the defect filling and the rate of hyaline-like cartilage regeneration. The procedure combining MFX, BMC, and a protective scaffold is inexpensive and reproducible and has already shown the ability to regenerate hyaline-like cartilage. Its use as an alternative to autologous chondrocyte implantation requires further investigation.
