Percutaneous Lateral Collateral Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is 1 of the 3 major static stabilizers of the lateral knee. It acts as a restraint to varus stress as well as posterolateral rotation of the knee. Injury to the LCL rarely occurs in isolation. It is usually associated with injuries to other structures such as the anterior and/or posterior cruciate ligament, as well as other ligaments of the posterolateral corner. Grade I and II tears are usually treated conservatively, whereas complete tears are treated by either primary repair or reconstruction. This article describes a surgical technique in which the LCL is reconstructed percutaneously using an autograft.

Anatomic Fibular Collateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Fibular collateral ligament (FCL) injuries can lead to varus instability of the knee, causing a varus thrust gait and resulting in increased forces on the medial compartment of the knee. In the long term, this can result in meniscal injuries and medial compartment osteoarthritis. Varus instability is also reported to increase forces on the cruciate ligaments, which can lead to overload and failure of these reconstructions in cases of nonrecognized combined injuries. Historically, both repair and reconstruction have been used for grade III injuries to the FCL. However, repair has been reported to lead to a higher reoperation rate. The hereby presented reconstruction technique is used for FCL injuries that do not involve other structures of the posterolateral corner, but can be used in combination with other knee ligament reconstructions including the posterior cruciate ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and medial collateral ligament. The purpose of this surgical technique article was to describe the biomechanically validated anatomic reconstruction of the FCL using a semitendinosus graft.

Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow.

Project description:Reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is the primary treatment for recurrent symptomatic posterolateral rotatory instability. Although a number of lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction techniques have been described, the docking technique has received general acceptance. In this technique, the graft is passed through a tunnel on the ulnar side and the 2 free limbs are docked into the humerus at the isometric point on the lateral condyle. Advantages of this method of reconstruction include reduced bone removal, decreased soft tissue damage, and precise control of graft tensioning. When precise surgical steps are followed, this technique can be performed in a reliable, efficient, and reproducible manner for patients with posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow.

Anconeus-Sparing Minimally Invasive Approach for Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Posterolateral Elbow Instability.

Project description:Posterolateral elbow instability with an insufficiency of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament commonly results from elbow trauma. However, other etiologies such as iatrogenic injuries after primary surgical treatment for lateral epicondylitis or repetitive corticosteroid injections also may lead to a lateral ulnar collateral ligament insufficiency. In these cases, surgical treatment can help to restore posterolateral stability of the elbow. Besides the stabilizing effect of the ligamentous structures, the anconeus muscle is the most import active stabilizer against posterolateral elbow instability. Therefore, the aim of the present technique is to present an anconeus-sparing, minimally invasive approach to restore posterolateral stability. This technique may serve as an alternative for typically used all open access.

Fibular Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Adolescent Patients.

Project description:Fibular collateral ligament (FCL) injuries can present as lateral-sided knee pain with feelings of side-to-side instability during activity. Patients with FCL injuries can have accompanying symptoms related to irritation of the common peroneal nerve. Preoperative diagnosis is imperative and should include a thorough physical examination complemented with varus stress radiographs before surgical reconstruction is indicated. In the adolescent cohort, surgical planning can be complicated by the presence of open physes, and caution must be taken to avoid drilling through or placing screw fixation across the physes. Potential complications include growth arrest and limb length discrepancy. Therefore, the purpose of this Technical Note is to describe an anatomic FCL reconstruction technique in the skeletally immature adolescent patient.

Percutaneous Arthroscopic Assisted Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Repair.

Project description:Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries are commonly encountered alongside anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Treatment modalities have ranged from conservative management to surgical repair, augmentation, and reconstruction. Various reports have reported residual valgus instability, especially in higher-grade injuries that have been treated conservatively. The MCL provides valgus stability but also is an element of anterior stability to the tibia in addition to the anterior cruciate ligament. In addition, meniscal "lift-off" and "floating" have been described as consequences after MCL injuries, and meniscal dysfunction has been shown to lead to accelerated joint degeneration; therefore, all efforts should be made to treat these injuries adequately. We describe a simple, minimally invasive technique that involves suturing the deep MCL to the medial joint capsule, allowing better MCL healing, causing less soft-tissue scarring, and preventing meniscal extrusion.

Arthroscopic Lateral Collateral Ligament Complex Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow, the Operative Technique.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability is concerning pathology in patients with recalcitrant lateral elbow pain. An arthroscopic technique can be used to perform reconstruction of lateral collateral ligament for eradicating the instability and also to manage concomitant lesions in a simultaneous operation. Similar to the modified Brostrӧm procedure using an inferior extensor retinaculum to augment the lateral collateral ligament for lateral ankle instability, in our Technical Note, we use anconeus muscles and annular ligament to augment the lateral collateral ligament for elbow instability during the reconstruction, allowing all tissue to heal with the bone by using a knotless technique.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: Anatomy, Indications, Techniques, and Outcomes.

Project description:Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries lead to pain and loss of performance in the thrower's elbow. Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) is a reliable treatment option for the symptomatic, deficient UCL. Injury to the UCL usually occurs because of chronic accumulation of microtrauma, although acute ruptures occur and an acute-on-chronic presentation is also common.Computerized databases, references from pertinent articles, and research institutions were searched for all studies using the search terms ulnar collateral ligament from 1970 until 2015.Clinical review.Level 5.All studies reporting outcomes for UCLR are level 4. Most modern fixation methodologies appear to be biomechanically and clinically equivalent. Viable graft choices include ipsilateral palmaris longus tendon autograft, gracilis or semitendinosus autograft, and allograft. Clinical studies report excellent outcomes of UCLR for both recreational and elite level athletes with regard to return to sport and postoperative performance. Complications, although rare, include graft rerupture or attenuation, ulnar nerve symptoms, stiffness, pain, and/or weakness leading to decreased performance.Injuries to the UCL have become commonplace among pitchers. Nonoperative treatment should be attempted, but the limited studies have not shown promising results. Operative treatment can be performed with several techniques, with retrospective studies showing promising results. Complications include ulnar neuropathy as well as failure to return to sport. Detailed preoperative planning, meticulous surgical technique, and a comprehensive rehabilitation program are essential components to achieving a satisfactory result.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Technique Utilizing Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:The prevalence of ulnar collateral ligament injuries and reconstructions among overhead throwing athletes has significantly risen in recent years. Surgical reconstruction has become the main treatment modality for athletes who have failed conservative treatment and wish to return to their sport. There has been an increased interest in graft augmentation in ligament reconstruction surgeries as surgeons search for ways to decrease the chance of graft failure. Augmented graft techniques have been described for other procedures. We present a technique that incorporates a cross-linked suture tape into either a palmaris longus or gracilis tendon autograft or allograft for ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction. This may allow for a biomechanically stronger construct because it appears this is the case in other settings. The goal is that this would lead to decreased rates of failure or possibly allow athletes to return at an accelerated rate.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Elbow: The Docking Technique.

Project description:Reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in overhead throwing athletes. Since its initial description, the procedure has undergone a number of technical modifications and advancements. This has resulted in multiple described techniques for UCL reconstruction. One of the most commonly performed UCL reconstruction methods is the docking technique. It has the advantages of minimizing injury to the flexor-pronator mass, avoiding the ulnar nerve, allowing robust graft tensioning, and reducing the amount of bone removed from the medial epicondyle compared with previously described techniques. This article provides a detailed description and video demonstration of how to perform this technique. When precise surgical steps are followed and postoperative rehabilitation appropriately progresses, this procedure has a well-documented history of reliably returning athletes to competitive throwing.
