Distal Patellar Tendon SpeedBridge Repair.

ABSTRACT: Patellar tendon ruptures are rare injuries in young athletes, resulting in disruption of the extensor mechanism, and require surgery for functional recovery. Several techniques have been reported, including end-to-end repair and single-row suture anchor constructs. The strength of these repairs has been questioned, and they are commonly augmented. We endorse a double-row repair technique that provides an anatomic restoration of the footprint, has high fixation strength, eliminates the need for graft augmentation, and allows early motion.

Transosseous-Equivalent Repair for Distal Patellar Tendon Avulsion.

Project description:Extensor mechanism disruptions are relatively uncommon injuries involving injury to the quadriceps tendon, patella, or patellar tendon. Patellar tendon avulsions from the tibial tubercle in adults are rare; as such, little technical information has been written regarding surgical management of this injury in the adult. Transosseous-equivalent repairs have been described in the management of several types of tendon ruptures, including rotator cuff and distal triceps tendon ruptures, but not previously in patellar injuries. We present a technique for repairing an avulsion injury of the patellar tendon from the tibial tubercle using suture anchors in a transosseous-equivalent manner. This technique for treating distal patellar tendon avulsion injuries likely increases contact area at the repair site while potentially improving fixation strength.

Achilles Tendon Rip-Stop SpeedBridge Repair.

Project description:Achilles tendon injuries have been on the rise secondary to our increased participation in sports, increase in societal obesity rates, and the growing elderly population. There has been disagreement in recent years about whether to treat injuries such as Achilles tendon ruptures operatively or nonoperatively with aggressive functional rehabilitation. For those opting to surgically manage Achilles tendon ruptures, insertional Achilles tendonitis, or augment the described SpeedBridge Achilles tendon repair, we propose a modified rip-stop technique. The goal of this technique is to provide a biomechanical advantage to our current operative interventions for these injuries, a greater load-to-failure and a speedier, more reliable return to sport in our athletic populations.

Patellar Tendon Repair With Ipsilateral Semitendinosus Autograft Augmentation.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are rare but potentially devastating injuries. Acute repair after patellar tendon rupture affords the best opportunity for tension-free restoration of the extensor mechanism. Biological augmentation of primary repair is believed to decrease strain across the repair site and reduce the risk of rerupture. We present a technique for primary patellar tendon repair with bidirectional fixation using transosseous tunnels, suture anchor fixation, and ipsilateral hamstring autograft augmentation in a distal patellar pole socket.

Revision Patellar Tendon Repair With Anchors, Allograft Augmentation, and Suspensory Fixation.

Project description:Ruptures of the patellar tendon are rare but potentially devastating injuries reported to occur most commonly in active males in their third and fourth decades of life. Repair failure rates have been reported to range between 2% and 50% based on surgical technique used. There are several inherent challenges associated with revision patellar tendon repair, including quadriceps atrophy, contracture, tissue loss, excessive scarring, and improper patella height. There remains no consensus regarding ideal revision patellar tendon repair technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred method for revision patellar tendon repair using suture anchors and allograft augmentation with adjustable loop suspensory fixation. On the basis of recent studies, we have carefully chosen our fixation and augmentation methods that have shown biomechanical promise, while allowing the surgeon to carefully titrate the patellar tendon length and accommodate for some patellar tendon tissue loss.

Open Patellar Tendon Tenotomy, Debridement, and Repair Technique Augmented With Platelet-Rich Plasma for Recalcitrant Patellar Tendinopathy.

Project description:Patellar tendinopathy is a disabling condition that frequently affects the athletic population, especially athletes undergoing repetitive impact forces as a result of jumping and landing activities. Most cases are initially treated conservatively, but if symptoms persist, surgical treatment is warranted. Options for surgical treatment include both arthroscopic and open techniques. The purpose of this Technical Note is to detail our open patellar tendon tenotomy, debridement, and repair technique augmented with platelet-rich plasma.

Proximal Patellar Tendon Repair: Internal Brace Technique With Unicortical Buttons and Suture Tape.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures may be considerably limiting, especially in younger and highly active patients. These injuries ultimately result in a complete inability to maintain extension of the knee, thereby placing strict impediment on physical activity. As a result, a durable repair construct via surgery is necessary to allow patients to return to their preinjury activity level. Because of the inherent difficulty in maintaining patellar tendon position after repair, and to avoid failure of the tendon healing to the patella, we recommend using an internal brace construct. The construct uses bone tunnels in the patella and also cortical buttons on the tibia with suture tape whipstitched through the tendon. We feel that this provides an enhanced fixation construct. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred method for proximal patellar tendon repair via an internal brace construct with unicortical buttons and suture tape.

Human iPSC-derived neural crest stem cells promote tendon repair in a rat patellar tendon window defect model.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold great potential for cell therapy and tissue engineering. Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) are multipotent that are capable of differentiating into mesenchymal lineages. In this study, we investigated whether iPSC-derived NCSCs (iPSC-NCSCs) have potential for tendon repair. Human iPSC-NCSCs were suspended in fibrin gel and transplanted into a rat patellar tendon window defect. At 4 weeks post-transplantation, macroscopical observation showed that the repair of iPSC-NCSC-treated tendons was superior to that of non-iPSC-NCSC-treated tendons. Histological and mechanical examinations revealed that iPSC-NCSCs treatment significantly enhanced tendon healing as indicated by the improvement in matrix synthesis and mechanical properties. Furthermore, transplanted iPSC-NCSCs produced fetal tendon-related matrix proteins, stem cell recruitment factors, and tenogenic differentiation factors, and accelerated the host endogenous repair process. This study demonstrates a potential strategy of employing iPSC-derived NCSCs for tendon tissue engineering.

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.

Distal Biceps Tendon Repair Using a Double Tension Slide Technique.

Project description:Distal biceps tendon ruptures are thought to be secondary to an acute forceful eccentric load on a degenerative tendon. Nonoperative treatment following rupture leads to significantly decreased forearm supination and elbow flexion strength. There are several techniques described in the literature for repair. This article describes, with video illustration, distal biceps tendon repair using a double tension slide technique with 2 No. 2 high-tension nonabsorbable composite sutures.

All-Suture Anatomic Footprint Repair of the Distal Triceps Tendon.

Project description:Distal triceps ruptures are an uncommon injury, and currently, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal surgical technique for repair. The traditional transosseous cruciate repair has been shown to be nonanatomic and to have a higher failure rate and be biomechanically inferior to suture anchor repairs. The use of anchors significantly increases procedure cost and theoretically increases the risk of complications related to drill and anchor placement. The technique described in this article allows anatomic restoration of the triceps tendon while avoiding the increased cost and risk that may be associated with suture anchor placement.
