Osteochondral Fracture Fixation With Fragment Preserving Suture Technique.

ABSTRACT: Osteochondral fractures are relatively uncommon injuries that typically present after an acute or subacute traumatic injury. Osteochondral fracture fixation is traditionally performed in the acute setting with internal fixation procedures using pins or compression screws through the fragment. Outcomes have generally been good, but cartilage thinning, subchondral remodeling, and tissue reactions can occur after internal fixation through the fragment. This article describes osteochondral fracture fragment fixation with a fragment-preserving technique that does not violate the articular cartilage of the fragment. This technique minimizes risk to articular cartilage that has already sustained injury and also provides superior fixation.

Arthroscopic Transosseous Suture Button Fixation Technique for Treatment of Large Anterior Glenoid Fracture.

Project description:To date, several open and arthroscopic surgical procedures are available for the treatment of anterior glenoid fractures after anterior shoulder dislocation. Open approaches require extensive soft-tissue dissection and are associated with poorer outcomes. Arthroscopic screw fixation techniques are technically challenging and related to complications as well, for example, risk of brachial plexus injury or hardware impingement. Alternative arthroscopic fixation techniques use suture anchors placed along the fracture rim with sutures passed around the fragment. However, these techniques require an intact capsulolabral complex and cannot be used effectively for large fracture fragments. This article describes a safe interfragmentary, transosseous, all-arthroscopic procedure using a double-cortical button fixation technique. This method can be used to achieve anatomic reduction and stable fixation of intermediate to large anterior glenoid fractures while minimizing the difficulties associated with previously described arthroscopic or open approaches.

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.

One-Stage Osteochondral Fracture Repair Technique With Knotless Anchors and Interconnected Crossing Suture Sliding Loops for the Knee.

Project description:Osteochondral fractures of the knee represent a challenging entity to manage since there are many different surgical techniques for cartilage repair or other salvage procedures. In terms of cartilage repair, several hardware devices can be used, and many of them could imply a second-stage surgery for hardware removal. The purpose of this article is to describe in detail a one-stage osteochondral fracture repair technique with knotless anchors and interconnected crossing suture sliding loops for the knee. This technique is a one-stage open or arthroscopic procedure with an unlimited number of loops configurations with no particular need for a second surgery for hardware removal, no knot damage, and without the use of bone tunnels. It can be used in different cartilage anatomic locations, such as femoral condyles, trochlea, patella, or other joints.

Crossing Suture Technique for the Osteochondral Fractures Repair of Patella.

Project description:Osteochondral fracture of the patella is a common concomitant injury of the knee, especially in lateral patellar instability, and the importance of early stable fixation with minimal complication and early mobilization should be emphasized. Screws and Kirschner wires both absorbable and nonabsorbable have been the common mode of fixation of these fractures. Nevertheless, these fixation techniques require larger osteochondral fragments and are associated with cartilage abrasion, hardware prominence, synovitis, and foreign body reaction. In contrast, suture fixation can adequately stabilize smaller osteochondral fragments without comminution and prevent some of the possible complications of other techniques of fixation. We created 4 holes in a rectangular pattern on the patella oriented perpendicular to its anteroposterior surface. We used readily available, and affordable, no. 2 Ultrabraid sutures inserted into the holes and looped around the osteochondral fragment, compressing it to the patella. The technique is very simple and is relatively easy to learn. It provides secure fixation and allows early mobilization. And it spares the knee from subsequent surgical procedure for removal of metallic implants.

Suture bridge fixation of a femoral condyle traumatic osteochondral defect.

Project description:Internal fixation of a traumatic osteochondral defect presents a challenge in terms of obtaining anatomic reduction, fixation, and adequate compression for healing. Fixation with countersunk intraarticular screws, Herbert screws, bioabsorbable screws and pins, mini-cancellous screws, and glue tissue adhesive have been reported with varying results. We present an alternative fixation method used in two patients for femoral condylar defects that achieved anatomic reduction with compression via a cruciate-shaped suture bridge construct tied down over a bony bridge. This fixation method allowed early passive range of motion and permitted high-quality MRI for followup of fracture healing and articular cartilage integrity. Arthroscopic examination of one of two patients at 6 months followup showed the gross appearance of a healed, anatomically reduced fracture. With 1 year followup for one patient and 2 years for the other, the patients have resumed activity as tolerated with full, painless range of motion at the knee. Longer-term outcomes are unknown. However, the suture bridge is an alternative means of fixation with encouraging early results for treatment of traumatic osteochondral fragments in the knee.Level IV, therapeutic study.

Arthroscopic Posterior Glenoid Fracture Fixation Using Knotless Suture Anchors.

Project description:Shoulder instability after a posterior glenoid rim fracture is rare and potentially difficult pathology to treat. Operative techniques often involve a large dissection to view the fragments resulting in local soft tissue injury. Internal fixation is often achieved with interfragmentary screws; however, this may not be possible with small or multifragmentary fracture patterns. We describe an arthroscopic technique for posterior glenoid rim fracture fixation using knotless suture anchors. These anchors can be inserted without cannulas allowing easier access to the posterior glenoid. This procedure is simple, safe, and offers good visualization of the glenohumeral joint whilst avoiding the detrimental effects of larger surgical dissection.

Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Fixation Technique Using Multiple All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common injury, particularly among active young individuals. Numerous surgical procedures for treating acute, high-grade AC joint dislocation have been reported. However, no standard surgical procedure that restores the normal kinematics of the AC joint is available. Among the available coracoclavicular (CC) fixation techniques, cortical button fixation was recently introduced, and it has had successful outcomes. Moreover, it is advantageous because it can be used in arthroscopic procedures. However, because of the limited number of fixation tools, a fundamental problem in terms of horizontal instability and gradual subsidence of cortical buttons has been observed, eventually leading to a threat to vertical stability. Therefore, we developed a unique CC fixation technique with multiple small tunnels using all-suture anchors, which may overcome potential complications caused by cortical buttons that require bone tunnels with relatively large diameters. This arthroscopic CC fixation technique was designed to achieve the ideal horizontal and vertical stability that may restore native AC kinematics.

Arthroscopic Fixation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Using FiberWire Suture With Suture Disc.

Project description:Controversy still exists regarding how to reduce and fix a displaced tibial avulsion fracture. Open reduction and internal fixation may lead to morbidity due to soft-tissue injury and arthrotomy. As a result, arthroscopic techniques are increasing in popularity. In the literature, sutures, K wires, and screws are suggested to be used as the fixation devices. Screws cannot be used in small or comminuted fractures, whereas K wires and sutures may not provide strong stability. Recently, with the advent of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene sutures like FiberWire, it has become possible to use it as the fixation device in even comminuted avulsion fractures with acceptable reduction stability. In this paper, we describe a simple arthroscopic technique using a FiberWire to manage the displaced tibial eminence avulsion fracture.

Knotless Suture Anchor Fixation of a Traumatic Osteochondral Lesion of the Lateral Femoral Condyle.

Project description:Osteochondral injuries commonly occur after lateral patellar instability events. Recognition and early intervention of displaced fragments is key to maintaining the viability of the fragment and congruency of the articular surface. Multiple fixation techniques exist for achieving stable fixation of displaced osteochondral lesions, including metal or bioabsorbable screws and all suture techniques. In this Technical Note, we describe a technique for internal fixation of a displaced osteochondral fragment of the lateral femoral condyle using knotless suture anchors. This technique affords minimally invasive restoration of the native anatomy with excellent stability of the fracture fragment, allowing early range of motion and ambulation.

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.
