Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction With Doubled Autologous Semitendinosus Tendon Graft.

ABSTRACT: Massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears remain a difficult condition to treat. Fatty infiltration of the muscles and excessive retraction of the tendons predispose to high failure rates of arthroscopic repair techniques. In recent years, studies on the superior capsule have shown that it plays a key role in reducing superior humeral head translation and restoring balance to the force couples required for dynamic shoulder function. Superior capsule reconstruction has become common in clinical practice. Several techniques with different types of grafts have been described, such as fascia lata autograft, dermal allograft patch, and long head of the biceps tendon autograft. More recently, an open technique with semitendinosus tendon autograft has been proposed. Our aim is to describe an all-arthroscopic technique for superior capsule reconstruction using a doubled semitendinosus tendon autograft in a box-shaped configuration. We believe that the technique can combine the advantages of other techniques, such as graft availability, low harvest-site morbidity, limited cost, and mechanical strength.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction with a Doubled-Over (6 mm) Dermal Allograft.

Project description:Superior capsule reconstruction has gained popularity as a treatment option for massive rotator cuff tears. The initial graft described was a tensor fascia lata. In the United States, acellular dermal matrix or dermal allograft has gained popularity. The results from published reports have been promising, but graft tear on postoperative imaging has been reported in several studies. Strives are being made to reduce the graft tear rate. One such way is to increase the thickness of the graft. Biomechanical studies have shown that thicker and stiffer grafts perform better in restoring superior stability. We present a technique of doubling a commercially available 3 mm dermal allograft and making it into a 6 mm graft for superior capsule reconstruction.

Augmentation of Patellar Tendon Repair With Autologous Semitendinosus Graft-Porto Technique.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures can lead to significant functional deficiency of the extensor mechanism of the knee. These injuries, because of their inherent nature and associated complications, may require a complex treatment and remains a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Current surgical techniques present significant complications, including patellar fracture, damage to patellar articular cartilage, and abnormal patella height. This note describes a surgical technique to provide an additional reinforcement to the patellar tendon repair with a semitendinous autograft, without the necessity to perform any transosseous tunnels at the patella bone. First, the patellar tendon is repaired with an end-to-end technique and the semitendinous tendon is harvested. A transosseous tunnel at the tibial tubercle is drilled and 2 rents are made, both medial and lateral to the retinaculum at the level of the intermedial segment of the patella close to the patellar margin. The graft is passed through the tunnel and rents in a U-shaped form. The graft is sutured along the length of the patellar tendon on both margins in tension at 30° of knee flexion. Fluoroscopy imaging is performed to assess the patella height. This technique provides a significant augmentation of patellar tendon, avoiding the potential patella bone tunnel complications.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears in young patients are a particular challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Surgical treatment options include debridement, partial rotator cuff repair, patch-augmented rotator cuff repair, bridging rotator cuff reconstruction with graft interposition, tendon transfer, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Recently, reconstruction of the superior glenohumeral capsule using a fascia lata autograft has been suggested to reduce superior glenohumeral translation and restore superior stability. Promising clinical results have been reported in 1 case series of 23 patients, indicating that superior capsular reconstruction may be a promising tool to manage massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. This article describes our preferred technique for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction.

Arthroscopic ligamentum teres reconstruction using semitendinosus tendon: surgical technique and an unusual outcome.

Project description:Although the exact biomechanical function of the ligamentum teres (LT) remains unclear, an important role in hip stability has been suggested. In some patients, perhaps because of their specific anatomy or physical activity, it seems to have a major function as a hip stabilizer. Therefore, after a complete LT tear, this group of patients may have persistent hip pain and mechanical symptoms probably related to microinstability and subtle subluxation. We present the case of a female patient with a complete LT tear. This had been treated by debridement and anterior capsule tightening, followed by prolonged rehabilitation. However, she had persistent symptoms. An LT reconstruction with a novel surgical technique was performed. The LT was reconstructed with double-stranded semitendinosus graft. The acetabular end was fixed with 2 anchors, and the femoral end was passed into a bone tunnel and fixed with an interference screw. After surgery, the patient's modified Harris Hip Score and Non-Arthritic Hip Score improved from 53 and 73 to 100 and 95, respectively, at 12 months of follow-up. At repeat arthroscopy 15 months after surgery, it was observed that the graft had resorbed, although the 2 Ticron stitches (Covidien, Mansfield, MA) remained firmly attached and were still acting as a small synthetic ligament.

Technique for Arthroscopic-Assisted Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Doubled Tibialis Anterior Tendon.

Project description:Advances in surgical technique and our knowledge of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) anatomy have resulted in a marked increase in options for ACL reconstruction. Currently, patient age and activity level, surgeon preference and experience, and cost are factors influencing the type of reconstruction recommended to address knee instability. We present a simplified transtibial method of ACL reconstruction using a single-bundle, doubled tibialis anterior allograft. This method uses fixation with a suspensory device on the femur and a bio-composite interference screw on the tibia. We recommend this simplified technique for primary ACL reconstruction because it minimizes total steps, thus limiting variance, maximizing efficiency, and reducing potential technical error.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction Using Three-Dimensional Preoperative Planning: Technique Description.

Project description:We describe a technique using a fascia lata autograft with 3-dimensional (3D) printing to reconstruct the rotator cuff. Prototyping constitutes the construction of physical prototypes with high complexity after virtual studies. Such models increase the knowledge of the characteristics and size of rotator cuff injuries, thus improving the accuracy of determining the correct size of the graft to be used in superior capsule reconstruction. We present a case of superior capsule reconstruction using 3D printing for enhancing the accuracy of fascia lata allograft size and tension determination; 3D reconstruction has never been described in the literature for rotator cuff injuries.

Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Anterior Tibiotalar Ligament Using a Free Tendon Graft.

Project description:Deltoid ligament injuries account for 5.1% to 15.8% of ankle sprains and occur with concomitant lateral ankle sprains. The anterior tibiotalar ligament (ATTL), located within the deep layer of the deltoid ligament complex, connects the talus and the tibia on the medial side of the ankle and controls ankle eversion and rotation. If conservative treatment for chronic medial ankle instability after an ankle sprain fails, ATTL repair or reconstruction might be necessary. Arthroscopic reconstruction techniques of the lateral ankle ligaments recently have been reported. Here, we describe arthroscopic reconstruction of the ATTL using a free tendon graft (ARATTL). This technique is less invasive than other treatments and results in a more stable medial ankle joint.
