Anatomic Double-Bundle ACL Reconstruction With Extra-articular Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction and Internal Brace.

ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with additional procedures could be necessary for patients with increased preoperative pivot shift. Double-bundle (DB) ACLR provides more footprint coverage and recreates the 2 functional anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles, which are believed to give better joint function and stability than single-bundle (SB) ACLR. Internal brace augmentation with suture tape is proposed along with tendon graft in ACLR to protect the newly reconstructed ligament during rehabilitation. Additional reconstruction with anterolateral ligament (ALL) during ACLR has shown significant reduction in the level of persistent pivot shift. In Technical Note we present a modified surgical technique of combined anatomic DB ACLR and ALLR with hamstring autograft and internal brace, using button suspensory fixation device and aperture screws. The objective of this technique is to decrease residual anterior and rotational instability after ACLR and ALLR.

Combined Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Double Bundle Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:The results of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are so far satisfactory and improving over time as a result of the improved understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the ACL. Rotational instability confirmed by a positive pivot shift is present in more than 15% of cases who underwent successful ACL reconstruction. Persistent rotational instability interferes with performing pivoting sports, and also may lead to meniscal and chondral injuries, or re-rupture of the reconstructed ACL. Surgeons reconsidered the anatomy and biomechanics of the ACL and introduced the double bundle ACL reconstruction technique aiming to achieve a more rotational control by reconstructing the anteromedial and anterolateral bundles of the ACL. To date, the results of double bundle ACL reconstruction are mixed and inconsistent. The improved understanding of the existence, function, and biomechanical role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in controlling the rotational instability of the knee has redirected and refocused attention on a supplemental extra-articular reconstruction of the ALL in conjunction with the intra-articular ACL reconstruction so as to restore normal kinematics of the knee. In this Technical Note, we describe a technique that allows for a combined ACL and double bundle ALL reconstruction using autogenous hamstring graft (semitendinosus and gracilis) tendons. This technique is an extension of our previously described technique of a combined anatomic ACL and single bundle ALL reconstruction. The improved understanding of the anatomy of the ALL makes a double bundle ALL reconstruction more anatomic than single bundle ALL reconstruction, as the native ALL is triangular or inverted Y in shape, with a narrow proximal femoral attachment and a broad distal tibial attachment between Gerdy's tubercle and the head of the fibula.

Anatomic Double Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using an Internal Splint.

Project description:Techniques for reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears are rapidly evolving. One problem with current techniques is that laxity may develop early in the postoperative period, leading to relapsed posterior translation of the tibia. Therefore, maintaining tibial reduction during graft incorporation is a target for improvement. We describe using an internal splint to optimize the 4-tunnel, double-bundle allograft PCL reconstruction.

Combined Intra- and Extra-articular Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament: The Reconstruction of the Knee Anterolateral Ligament.

Project description:We present a new technique for the combined intra- and extra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. Intra-articular reconstruction is performed in an outside-in manner according to the precepts of the anatomic femoral tunnel technique. Extra-articular reconstruction is performed with the gracilis tendon while respecting the anatomic parameters of the origin and insertion points and the path described for the knee anterolateral ligament.

Combined Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:A double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction associated with an anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstructions is performed. The semitendinosus and gracilis are harvested. At knee maximum flexion, the anteromedial (AM) femoral tunnel is performed in the AM footprint area. Through the anterolateral portal, the tip of the outside-in femoral guide is placed in the posterolateral footprint area. The guide sleeve is pushed onto the lateral femoral cortex at the ALL attachment. At 110° knee flexion, the posterolateral-ALL tunnel is performed. The tibial ACL tunnel is performed as usual. The tibial guide is placed between the ALL tibial attachment and the tibial ACL tunnel entrance to perform the ALL tibial tunnel. The gracilis graft is introduced from caudal to cranial, achieving fixation with a 6-mm diameter screw (outside-in). The AM femoral fixation is achieved with a suspension device. ACL tibial graft fixation is achieved with a screw. Afterward, the gracilis is passed under the fascia lata to the tibial entry point. A 6-mm diameter screw is placed from the external cortex into the tibial ALL tunnel. The biomechanical advantage of the double-bundle ACL reconstruction with the biomechanical advantage of the ALL anatomic reconstruction is achieved.

Anatomic Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is known to be the main posterior stabilizer of the knee. Anatomic single-bundle PCL reconstruction, focusing on reconstruction of the larger anterolateral bundle, is the most commonly performed procedure. Because of the residual posterior and rotational tibial instability after the single-bundle procedure and the inability to restore the normal knee kinematics, an anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction has been proposed in an effort to re-create the native PCL footprint more closely and to restore normal knee kinematics. We detail our technique for an anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction using Achilles and anterior tibialis tendon allografts.

Anterolateral Extra-articular Soft Tissue Reconstruction in Anterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Knee.

Project description:Anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) occurs after injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the anterolateral structures of the knee. We present a technique for anterolateral extra-articular soft-tissue (ALES) reconstruction of the knee that can be used in revision ACL reconstruction cases, cases of persistent ALRI after adequate ACL reconstruction, and cases with severe ALRI after primary ACL rupture. The surgeon performs ALES reconstruction with a strip of iliotibial tract autograft while respecting the anatomic origin and insertion of the anterolateral ligament. The purpose of this reconstruction is to restore the normal anterolateral rotatory stability of the knee in ALES-deficient patients.

Anatomic Double-Bundle Transtibial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (DBACLR) is a reasonable transition from single-bundle ACL reconstruction to obtain better clinical outcomes, and most authors believe that it can only be performed through a medial portal. However, in our clinical practice, we have found that anatomic DBACLR can be performed easily and exactly through transtibial tunnels just by positioning the tibial tunnels appropriately. Thus, we would like to introduce this anatomic double-bundle transtibial ACL reconstruction technique, in which the most critical step is to create a shallow tibial tunnel for the anteromedial bundle with a proximal projection to the anatomic location of the corresponding femoral tunnel. We believe this Technical Note will give an interesting view of anatomic DBACLR.

TriLink: Anatomic Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Cadaveric and clinical biomechanical studies show improved kinematic restoration using double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction techniques. These have been criticized in the past for being technically challenging. We present a novel 3-socket approach for anatomic "all-inside" double-bundle reconstruction using a single hamstring tendon fashioned to create a trifurcate graft: the TriLink technique. The semitendinosus alone is harvested, quadrupled, and attached to 3 suspensory fixation devices in a Y-shaped configuration, creating a 4-stranded tibial limb and 2 double-stranded femoral limbs. A medial viewing/lateral working arthroscopic approach is adopted using specifically designed instrumentation. Anatomic placement of the 2 femoral tunnels is performed by a validated direct measurement technique. A single mid-bundle position is used on the tibia. Both femoral and tibial sockets are created in a retrograde manner using outside-to-in drilling. This is a simplified operative technique for anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction that maximizes bone preservation. The TriLink construct replicates the 2 bundles of the ACL, conferring native functional anisometry and improving femoral footprint coverage while avoiding the complexities and pitfalls of double-tibial tunnel techniques. Preservation of the gracilis reduces the morbidity of hamstring harvest and allows greater flexibility in graft choice in cases requiring multiligament reconstruction.

Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Technique: An Anatomic-Based Approach.

Project description:Restoration of anteroposterior laxity after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has been predictable with traditional open and endoscopic techniques. However, anterolateral rotational stability has been difficult to achieve in a subset of patients, even with appropriate anatomic techniques. Therefore, differing techniques have attempted to address this rotational laxity by augmenting or reconstructing lateral-sided structures about the knee. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the anterolateral ligament as a potential contributor to residual anterolateral rotatory instability in anterior cruciate ligament-deficient patients. Numerous anatomic and biomechanical studies have been performed to further define the functional importance of the anterolateral ligament, highlighting the need for surgical techniques to address these injuries in the unstable knee. This article details our technique for an anatomic anterolateral ligament reconstruction using a semitendinosus tendon allograft.

Combined Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Mimicking Anterolateral Structure Reconstruction.

Project description:The outcomes of double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction leave room for improvement. We hope to augment double-bundle ACL reconstruction with the reconstruction of an ACL-mimicking anterolateral structure (ALS). Thus, we would like to introduce a combined double-bundle ACL reconstruction and ACL-mimicking ALS reconstruction technique. The main indication for this technique is ACL injury with a high degree of pivot shift test, general laxity, or near critical value of the posterior tibial slope. The main steps in this technique include preparation of an isolated graft for the anteromedial bundle of the ACL and a combined graft for the posterolateral bundle of the ACL and ALS, creation of three tibial tunnels and two femoral tunnels, graft placement, and final graft fixation at an adjustable loop. We have obtained promising clinical outcomes with this technique and consider that this report will provide new options in ACL reconstruction.
