Minimally Invasive Quad Harvest Featuring Endoscopic Closure and Preparation With Adjustable Suspensory Fixation Device Incorporated With Braided Suture.

ABSTRACT: The quad tendon has increasingly became a very common option for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Minimally invasive approaches are one of the many advantages to the quad tendon graft. One of the issues with a small incision is assuring appropriate proximal closure. In this technique, we use the arthroscope to view proximally and a Scorpion (Arthrex) device to close our proximal quad harvest. We also describe the updated preparation of the quad tendon with FiberTag TightRope (Arthrex) and FiberTag ABS (Arthrex). These implants have FiberTag incorporated to the suspensory devices that creates a stable construct that is faster to incorporate into the quad with the slotted clamp. Together, these updates to the preparation and harvest should make the construct more reproducible and decrease donor-site morbidity respectively.

Minimally Invasive Combined Anterior and Anterolateral Stabilization of the Knee Using Hamstring Tendons and Adjustable-Loop Suspensory Fixation Device: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Despite the numerous techniques described regarding isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, many authors have reported that residual knee rotational instability is not always eliminated. The combination of lateral extra-articular knee tenodesis and ACL reconstruction is an alternative surgical approach with very promising clinical results. The purpose of this article is to describe a reliable and reproducible technique of combined ACL reconstruction and lateral extra-articular knee tenodesis using a continuous looped hamstring tendon autograft. A 4-strand graft inside the joint and a 2-strand graft for the tenodesis are attached to 2 adjustable-loop button suspensory fixation devices.

Minimally invasive posterior hamstring harvest.

Project description:Autogenous hamstring harvesting for knee ligament reconstruction is a well-established standard. Minimally invasive posterior hamstring harvest is a simple, efficient, reproducible technique for harvest of the semitendinosus or gracilis tendon or both medial hamstring tendons. A 2- to 3-cm longitudinal incision from the popliteal crease proximally, in line with the semitendinosus tendon, is sufficient. The deep fascia is bluntly penetrated, and the tendon or tendons are identified. Adhesions are dissected. Then, an open tendon stripper is used to release the tendon or tendons proximally; a closed, sharp tendon stripper is used to release the tendon or tendons from the pes. Layered, absorbable skin closure is performed, and the skin is covered with a skin sealant, bolster dressing, and plastic adhesive bandage for 2 weeks.

Rectus muscle plication using an adjustable suture technique.

Project description:Rectus muscle plication is an alternative muscle-strengthening procedure to rectus muscle resection. Possible advantages of rectus muscle plication include a lower risk of "lost" muscles and anterior segment ischemia.This was a retrospective case series describing a surgical procedure for rectus muscle plication using an adjustable suture technique that can be used on any of the four rectus muscles.A total of 5 adult patients underwent adjustable suture plication procedures. Of these, 2 patients required suture adjustment postoperatively. At the final follow-up visit, all the patients maintained satisfactory ocular alignment within 6(?) of orthotropia for horizontal deviations and 2(?) of orthotropia for vertical deviations. Diplopia was eliminated in all cases with preoperative diplopia. There were no postoperative complications or unexpected shifts in ocular alignment.Rectus muscle plication using this adjustable suture technique may serve as an alternative to rectus muscle resection and may be particularly useful in patients who are at risk for anterior segment ischemia or those in whom a shorter anesthesia time is recommended.

Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Using Single Graft Plus Adjustable-Loop Suspensory Fixation Device.

Project description:The original description of the LaPrade technique for anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction addresses the 3 main stabilizing structures: the fibular collateral ligament, the popliteus, and the popliteofibular ligament. The use of two separate grafts (originally described with a tendo-Achilles allograft) may restrict the utility of the technique when sources of allograft may be limited and autografts must be used, particularly in the context of multiligament reconstruction. We present a modification of the technique, in which an adjustable cortical button is used for tibial fixation, which allows for the use of a single graft while maintaining the ability to independently tension the popliteus, popliteofibular ligament, and fibular collateral ligament limbs of the graft.

Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction With Dual Adjustable-Loop Suspensory Fixation: A Technique Guide.

Project description:The purpose of this technique paper is to outline a minimally invasive technique using dual suspensory fixation with adjustable-loop devices for reconstruction of the superficial medial collateral ligament. The femoral fixation is performed through a limited approach at the anatomic origin of the medial collateral ligament, a socket is prepared, and the graft is docked using the adjustable-loop suspensory fixation. The tibial socket is prepared through a separate incision just distal to the pes anserine tendons and drilled medially to laterally perpendicular to the tibial shaft. The graft is tunneled and docked into the tibial tunnel using adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation on the far cortex. The knee is cycled through a full arc of motion and stressed in valgus to take initial creep out of the construct. The knee is placed in 30° of flexion and slight varus and final tension is applied to both the femoral and tibial side. With this technique, fixation can be completed with a minimally invasive incision and it allows the ability to tension the graft both on the femoral and tibial side to the desired level, providing a significant advantage over previously used interference screw techniques.

Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis With Cortical Suspensory Femoral Fixation and Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:This article aims to provide a new surgical technique for rotational instability in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Two main groups of surgical procedures can be identified in the treatment of anterolateral knee instability: lateral extra-articular tenodesis and anterolateral ligament reconstruction. Although the importance of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in anterolateral complex injuries is well known, the superiority of lateral extra-articular tenodesis over anterolateral ligament reconstruction or vice versa has not yet been shown. Both techniques show improved outcomes and reduced graft failure rates. The presented procedure can be considered a modification of the technique first described by Lemaire. Better tensioning can be achieved through cortical suspension by identifying the anisometric point on the lateral femur and performing a medial pullout on the femoral side. The advantages of this technique are better fine-tuning and tensioning, less invasiveness, and adjustable cortical fixation, which allows for a precise, incremental tensioning of the graft, ensuring circumferential healing of the graft within the socket and reducing the risk of graft laceration, which may happen with interference screws. Internal bracing provides excellent contact pressure between the femoral button and femoral cortex, ensuring that adequate tensioning is applied to the graft.

Mini-Open Achilles Repair With a Flat Braided Suture in a Low-Profile Configuration.

Project description:Achilles repair has evolved over the past 30 years, from large open procedures with high complication rates to shorter, less-invasive procedures with better outcomes. Percutaneous repair has comparable failure rates with open repairs, fewer complications, and faster recovery. However, percutaneous Achilles repairs risk sural nerve injury. A mini-open repair fuses the gap between percutaneous and open procedures, and this approach has the potential to mitigate nerve injury while maintaining the increased efficiency in procedure time and patient recovery. The purpose of this Technical Note and accompanying video is to outline the repair of the Achilles tendon using a mini open repair using a low-profile flat braided suture.

A Technique of Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using an Adjustable-Loop Suspensory Fixation Device.

Project description:This report describes superficial medial collateral ligament reconstruction of the knee using a novel method of graft fixation with the ACL Tightrope RT (Arthrex, Naples, FL). After tibial fixation with either a standard interference screw or staple, femoral fixation of the semitendinosus tendon is performed with the adjustable-loop suspensory fixation device, which allows for both initial graft tensioning and re-tensioning after cyclical knee range of motion. This provides the ability for the graft to accommodate for resultant soft-tissue creep and stress relaxation, thereby allowing for optimal soft-tissue tension and reduction in laxity at the end of the procedure.
