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 Suture Tape Augmentation for Proximal Patellar Tendon Rupture.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are severe but uncommon injuries that require surgical treatment. Primary repair for acute patellar tendon ruptures using augmentation techniques has shown good results in terms of biomechanical and clinical outcomes. This Technical Note details patellar tendon repair with suture tape augmentation for proximal patellar tendon rupture. Because this surgical technique does not require harvesting of the hamstring tendon and hardware removal, it is minimally invasive. In addition, it is simple and quick to perform.

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.

Open Isolated Distal Rectus Tendon Repair.

Project description:Isolated distal rectus femoris avulsions from the common quadriceps tendon are rare and may be missed due to the integrity of the remaining extensor mechanism. In healthy, active patients, surgical repair is recommended due to the potential for persistent pain, cramping, and weakness. In the case of isolated distal rectus femoris avulsions, however, there are important surgical considerations and differences when compared with the treatment of complete quadriceps tendon ruptures. This Technical Note describes an open repair of an isolated distal rectus femoris rupture with reinsertion into the common quadriceps tendon.

Chronic Quadriceps Tendon Ruptures: Primary Repair of Quadriceps Via Bioaugmentation and Patellar Tendon Lengthening.

Project description:Quadriceps tendon ruptures are devastating injuries that impair the extensor mechanism of the knee. Complete tears require prompt surgical intervention in order to ensure optimal clinical outcomes. Chronic, neglected ruptures- marked by severe extensor lag, muscular atrophy, and tendon retraction- are difficult to treat. Further, severe patella baja complicates surgical planning. While there is no consensus on optimal treatment for these injuries, many different techniques have been proposed. Unlike many of these approaches, our technique focuses on restoration of patellar height via patellar tendon lengthening. Once patellar height is restored, quadriceps tendon repair can be performed using the native quadriceps tendon. Both the patellar tendon lengthening and the quadriceps tendon repair are augmented with bioinductive implants to ensure optimal healing environments, enabling us to reestablish native extensor mechanism function.

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.

Intrasubstance Patellar Tendon Repair with the Addition of a Bio-inductive Implant

Project description:Intrasubstance patellar tendon ruptures are an uncommon injury that can have devastating long-term effects for patients. Operative intervention to repair the ruptured tendon is the gold standard treatment for these injuries and can be performed using a variety of techniques. Unlike the more common patellar tendon ruptures at the level of the patella, repairs of intrasubstance ruptures are often challenging because of the poor quality of the remaining tendon fibers. Tendon repair with augmentation via bio-inductive implants has gained popularity in upper extremity literature, as it has demonstrated improved tendon strength and patient outcomes. However, there remains a sparsity of reports regarding tendon augmentation in the lower extremity literature. Here, we describe repair of an intrasubstance patellar tendon rupture using a modified SpeedBridge repair and augmentation with a bio-inductive implant. Technique Video Video 1 The patient is placed in the supine position. After incising the paratenon, the patellar tendon rupture is easily identified. Following debridement of scar tissue at the ruptured tendon edges, FiberWire is used to create four equally spaced Krakow sutures, two on the distal tendon stump and two on the proximal tendon stump. A SpeedBridge anchor is placed into the inferior border of the patella, and the FiberTapes are advanced through the tendon. The free FiberWire ends are then brought together and tied under maximal handheld tension. The site of poorest tissue quality is identified, and the Regeneten implant is deployed and stapled into position. To complete the repair, the FiberTapes from the SpeedBridge anchors are secured distally at the medial and lateral border of the tibial tubercle.

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.
