Knotless Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair with Adjustable Loop Device and Internal Brace Augmentation.

ABSTRACT: With the recent resurgence of primary anterior cruciate ligament repair, it is important to strive for optimal patient outcomes. This knotless primary repair procedure takes advantage of the use of an adjustable loop device, which allows for intraoperative retensioning by the surgeon. This technical advancement combined with augmentation with an internal brace could potentially minimize gap formation at the repair site, thereby increasing repair stability and ultimate outcome.

Allograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Utilizing Internal Brace Augmentation.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common sports-related injuries. Although studies have reported reliable outcomes with allograft tissue, several studies have shown a higher failure rate in younger patients. Although ACL graft augmentation has been met with varying levels of success, internal bracing of an allograft represents a promising area in ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to detail allograft preparation involving a collagen-coated, ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene/polyester suture tape as an internal brace augmentation for ACL reconstruction using the all-inside ACL GraftLink Technique (Arthrex, Naples, FL).

Arthroscopy Primary Double-Bundle Repair of Anterior Cruciate Ligament With Internal Brace Augmentation and a Knotless Anchor Implant.

Project description:The primary repair technique of acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has been controversially discussed over the past few decades. Many different suture techniques have been reported for ACL repair, but these procedures showed high re-rupture rates and poor results. Recently, the literature has reported excellent outcomes with primary ACL repair. There has been a resurging interest in modernizing and augmenting primary ACL repair. This article describes a technique that uses internal brace augmentation and a knotless anchor (Arthrex) implant for primary anatomic double-bundle ACL repair after an acute proximal ACL tear. This technique aims to advocate natural healing by the high-strength internal brace augmentation and knotless anchor as a provisional scaffold during the healing phase and early mobilization. This technique might be an alternative to conventional ACL reconstruction in the appropriate selection of patients.

Graft Retensioning Technique Using an Adjustable-Loop Fixation Device in Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are an unfortunate and devastating injury in the athletic patient. Surgical reconstruction of the ACL with a taut graft construct is necessary to restore knee stability and help expedite the patient's return to an active lifestyle. Arthroscopy-assisted ACL reconstruction can be a technically involved procedure, where strong fixation limits graft motion to allow sufficient healing within the tibial and femoral tunnels at the bone-tendon interfaces. Loss of tension in a graft can cause symptomatic anterior or rotatory instability and potential retear of the ACL graft. We describe in this Technical Note and accompanying video a simple and effective technique to implant and retension a tendon graft during ACL reconstruction using a suspensory fixation device. The technical description uses a simple adjustable-loop device to provide strong cortical fixation, along with the unique ability to retension the graft in ACL reconstruction, not otherwise possible with previously described graft fixation techniques.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Using an Adjustable-Length Loop Device.

Project description:A displaced avulsion fracture at the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament is considered an indication for surgical reduction and internal fixation because nonunion and remaining posterior instability of the knee are common consequences of conservative treatment. The problems with standard open surgical techniques are that they are relatively invasive despite the limited operative field and it is impossible to explore intra-articular lesions by the posterior approach. An arthroscopic procedure has the advantage of being minimally invasive and allowing the surgeon to detect and treat associated intra-articular injuries. We present an arthroscopic reduction-internal fixation technique using an adjustable-length loop device. A trans-septal portal is created to visualize the fracture fragment directly, and the fragment is reduced and penetrated with a cannulated drill under fluoroscopic guidance. An adjustable-length loop device is relayed from the posteromedial portal and pulled out through the fragment in an anterograde fashion, placing a button on top of the fragment. By tightening the loop, downward compression can be applied to the fragment. Overall, this technique provides good reduction and bone union, and excellent clinical outcomes, including posterior knee stability, can be achieved.

A Hybrid Repair Technique Combining Single-Bundle Reconstruction and Primary Repair With Internal Brace Augmentation for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.

Project description:Recently, favorable outcomes of primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair have been reported in patients with proximal tears and good tissue quality. If the tear involves the midsubstance of the ACL fibers or Sherman type II or III injury, independent primary repair will cause a higher failure rate at long-term follow-up. For these cases, we conduct primary repair and apply an internal brace and single-bundle reconstruction as hybrid augmentation. This hybrid repair technique encourages natural healing of the primary ligament by the internal brace and single-bundle graft as a provisional scaffold during the healing phase, as well as early mobilization. We describe our ACL hybrid repair technique, using a video and illustrations.

All-Inside Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Internal Brace With Recycling Suture.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common injury of the knee. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is a standard treatment for this condition. All-inside ACL reconstruction has many advantages compared with conventional techniques. However, there are still concerns regarding graft elongation and stability with all-inside ACL reconstruction. Here, we propose an arthroscopic technique using the shortening strands of a flexible suspensory button as an internal brace. This method provides the advantages of increased stability and ACL graft protection while using the same implant as the all-inside ACL reconstruction technique.

Internal Suture Augmentation Technique to Protect the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Graft.

Project description:The anterior cruciate ligament suture augmentation technique is a method to augment anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with autologous hamstring tendons using a braided ultrahigh-molecular weight polyester or polyethylene suture or suture tape and fixed on both the femoral and tibial sides independent of the graft to act as a backup or secondary stabilizer until complete integration and ligamentization of the graft take place. The technique is proposed to allow early rehabilitation and return to sports after ACLR and may be advantageous in patients with a high body mass index and in cases with small grafts (7 or 7.5 mm in diameter). In such situations the technique is supposed to decrease the risk of reinjury, as well as the degree of postoperative lengthening or stretching of the graft, in the early postoperative avascular phase. We describe graft preparation with the internal suture augmentation technique in arthroscopic ACLR using a cortical button system on the femoral side and a Bio-Interference Screw (Arthrex, Naples, FL) on the tibial side.

Arthroscopic Suture-to-Adjustable Loop Fixation of Adult Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture.

Project description:Adult tibial avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) occurs not as frequently as ACL tear but still is concerning. There are many methods of arthroscopic fixation of this special fracture. However, a simple and effective method is still being pursued. We would like to introduce an arthroscopic suture-to-adjustable loop fixation technique, which features are a reduction of lateral displacement of the fragment by special suture configuration and tensioning, and a final reduction of residual displacement by tensioning the adjustable loop. We consider the introduction of this technique will provide additional choice in the treatment of adult ACL tibial avulsion fracture.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair Using a Knotless Suture Implant.

Project description:Recent orthopedic literature has shown that primary repair for femoral-sided avulsion tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can be successful. Primary ACL repair avoids invasive reconstruction techniques, graft-site morbidity, and the loss of native anatomy while producing excellent results in appropriately selected patients. Here we describe our patient selection parameters, ACL repair technique, and rehabilitation protocol.

Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Augmentation.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are usually managed by reconstruction with autograft or allograft, but primary repair in carefully selected patients is a reasonable option. Proximal avulsions presenting early with excellent tissue quality are amenable to repair and healing. Restoration of native ACL preserves its proprioceptive and kinematic functions. A repair is less invasive and avoids graft-related problems, and faster rehabilitation is possible. Protection for the repair in the early stages will allow better healing. We present our technique of ACL repair using knotless suture anchors with high-strength sutures and protection using high-strength sutures tapes inserted through the same anchors.
