Internal Fixation of Osteochondritis Dissecans Using PushLock Suture Anchors.

ABSTRACT: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is a subchondral bone abnormality that results in the separation of the articular cartilage and bone with subsequent progression to osteoarthritis. Unstable OCD lesions should undergo fixation to preserve the natural contour of the articular surface. Although several fixation procedures have been reported, the appropriate procedure remains unknown. Because the bony portion of the OCD lesion is usually thin, it is difficult to fix firmly with conventional methods. We began fixing OCD lesions with knotless PushLock anchors and sutures and have obtained satisfactory results. This report describes this fixation method that uses the PushLock suture anchor to treat unstable OCD lesions. This procedure also can be applied for traumatic osteochondral fractures.

Arthroscopic Fixation of Knee Osteochondritis Dissecans With Interlinked Knotless All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Unstable, displaced, and persistently symptomatic osteochondritis dissecans of the knee typically requires surgical treatment. An arthroscopic, knotless fixation method using interlinked all-suture anchors is presented, with potential advantages over other current techniques in fixation over a broad zone, treatment versatility for a wide range of fragment types, retensioning ability after stressing, decreased risk of implant-breakage complications, and avoidance of additional surgery for implant removal.

All-Arthroscopic Suture Fixation of Patellar Osteochondritis Dissecans.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans of the knee, despite its cause, is characterized by the impairment of the subchondral bone. Failure of its spontaneous healing makes surgical fixation often necessary. The patella is less affected than other locations in the knee. Its surgical treatment remains a challenge due to the thickness of the lesion and the complex approach of the retropatellar cartilage. Arthroscopy has the theoretical advantage to avoid a possible arthrotomy; however, the retrograde application of fixation materials does not guarantee good fragment compression and may lead to cartilage penetration and damage. The purpose of this Technical Note is to present a reproducible, full arthroscopic suture fixation technique for patellar osteochondritis dissecans lesions. By using the posterior cruciate tibial drill guide, absorbable sutures are passed through the center and the peripheral borders of the lesion resulting in a "spider-parachute-type" fixation with direct fragment compression.

Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee: Arthroscopic Suture Anchor Fixation.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a subchondral bone abnormality, in which subchondral bone and the overlying articular cartilage detach from the bony bed. Multiple techniques for OCD fixation have been described, including metallic, bioabsorbable implants and biological fixation. We describe a surgical technique for OCD lesions including bony bed preparation with curettage and microfracture, anatomic reduction, and fixation using a suture anchor to provide stability and healing of the lesion.

Coronoid fixation using suture anchors.

Project description:Fractures of the coronoid process of the ulna generally occur in relatively high-energy injuries and are commonly associated with injuries to other structures around the elbow. Damage to the coronoid process in addition to other elbow structures may complicate treatment. Several approaches have been used in the management of coronoid process fractures. This paper reports a method of coronoid process fracture fixation using suture anchors.

Arthroscopic preparation and internal fixation of an unstable osteochondritis dissecans lesion of the knee.

Project description:We present our arthroscopic technique for fixation of an unstable osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion. This technique includes arthroscopic evaluation of cartilage and bone quality of the OCD fragment, hinging open the lesion, debridement of fibrous nonunion tissue, reducing the fragment, and obtaining multi-point compression screw fixation. This technique avoids the morbidity of an open arthrotomy and should be considered when treating an unstable OCD lesion with adequate bone for fixation.

Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Fixation Technique Using Multiple All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common injury, particularly among active young individuals. Numerous surgical procedures for treating acute, high-grade AC joint dislocation have been reported. However, no standard surgical procedure that restores the normal kinematics of the AC joint is available. Among the available coracoclavicular (CC) fixation techniques, cortical button fixation was recently introduced, and it has had successful outcomes. Moreover, it is advantageous because it can be used in arthroscopic procedures. However, because of the limited number of fixation tools, a fundamental problem in terms of horizontal instability and gradual subsidence of cortical buttons has been observed, eventually leading to a threat to vertical stability. Therefore, we developed a unique CC fixation technique with multiple small tunnels using all-suture anchors, which may overcome potential complications caused by cortical buttons that require bone tunnels with relatively large diameters. This arthroscopic CC fixation technique was designed to achieve the ideal horizontal and vertical stability that may restore native AC kinematics.

Arthroscopic Posterior Glenoid Fracture Fixation Using Knotless Suture Anchors.

Project description:Shoulder instability after a posterior glenoid rim fracture is rare and potentially difficult pathology to treat. Operative techniques often involve a large dissection to view the fragments resulting in local soft tissue injury. Internal fixation is often achieved with interfragmentary screws; however, this may not be possible with small or multifragmentary fracture patterns. We describe an arthroscopic technique for posterior glenoid rim fracture fixation using knotless suture anchors. These anchors can be inserted without cannulas allowing easier access to the posterior glenoid. This procedure is simple, safe, and offers good visualization of the glenohumeral joint whilst avoiding the detrimental effects of larger surgical dissection.

Arthroscopic Fixation of Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Knee Using a Motorized Pick and Headless Compression Screws.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee affects children and adolescents. The condition is characterized by sterile osteonecrosis of the subchondral bone. The cause is unknown. OCD is divided into juvenile or adult type, depending on whether the physis is open or closed at the time of diagnosis. Stable juvenile OCD lesions have substantial healing potential and are treated conservatively, with a healing potential of up to 75%. However, in unstable lesions and in all symptomatic adult OCD lesions, surgical treatment is indicated. The purpose of this article was to present our method of arthroscopic fixation of an unstable OCD in the knee, using a motorized pick to stimulate the bed of the lesion, and firm fixation with headless screws. The advantage of this method is the controlled and meticulous debridement and stimulation of the sclerotic necrosis behind the OCD fragment and the firm compression achieved with the screws, enabling an intensive and early rehabilitation.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using All-Soft Suture Anchors for Patellar Fixation.

Project description:The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), which is critical for both patellar stability and normal kinematics of the patellofemoral joint, is disrupted in most patellar dislocations. Consequently, MPFL reconstruction is advocated in recurrent dislocations to restore native patellar constraints. Fixation of the MPFL graft to the medial border of the patella can be achieved through various methods, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. We present a technique for MPFL fixation to the patella using all-soft suture anchors, theoretically decreasing the risk of patellar fracture and articular surface violation.

A Staged Arthroscopic Approach to Fixation of Unstable Osteochondritis Dissecans in the Medial Femoral Condyle of the Knee Using Nonabsorbable Fixation Screws.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans is a focal lesion of articular cartilage that can result in fragment instability with progression of early osteoarthritis. Regarding the knee joint, salvage of an unstable lesion can be achieved using arthroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation via a 2-stage process. The first involves arthroscopic fixation of the fragment using nonbioabsorbable screws, whereas the second stage performed 12 weeks later involves removal of the screws and confirmation of successful healing of the lesion. Previous studies have demonstrated excellent outcomes in patients undergoing fixation for unstable chondral lesions not amenable to conservative treatment. A critical component of successful treatment is understanding the importance of hardware placement and technique. The purpose of the Technical Note is to describe a method performing this 2-stage arthroscopic repair of an unstable chondral lesion located on the medial femoral condyle of the knee.
