Project description:PurposeVarious methods have been described for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. The incidence of recurrent dislocations following surgical intervention is high and, therefore, necessitates a reliable and replicable revision procedure. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a method of arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction using a distal tibial allograft and screw fixation in the setting of a failed Latarjet procedure with significant glenoid bone loss.MethodsWe describe in detail patient positioning, portal placement, steps of the diagnostic arthroscopy, and graft preparation using imaging and a detailed intraoperative arthroscopic technique.Level of evidenceLevel 1, Shoulder; Level 2, Instability.

Project description:Surgery failure rates average 20% following bucket-handle meniscal tears (BHMT) repairs in the literature. Achieving the healing of BHMT is difficult, how much more in revision cases. Some authors have reported higher failure rates especially in the early postoperative period and in younger patients. Multiple techniques and augmentations to enhance biologic healing and reduce failure rate have been described. We describe an arthroscopic technique for successfully revising a failed BHMT repair using the technique of percutaneously releasing the posterior fibers of the medial collateral ligament to provide adequate space for arthroscopy, refreshing of the torn surfaces, bed trephination before reduction and repair. We concluded that a combined double-level inside out vertical sutures with horizontal reinforcement and all-inside technique using fast fix give anatomic reduction, stable fixation, surface contact, and increased potential for biologic healing in failed BHMT repairs. Coupled with adequate rehabilitation programs, this technique has reduced the failure rate in revision cases and enhances early return to sport.

Project description:BackgroundIndependent transtibial pullout repair is a common surgical technique for repairing lateral meniscus posterior root tears (LMPRTs). The shared anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) bone tunnel technique is an alternative technique for LMPRT repair combined with ACL reconstruction (ACLR) to avoid the establishment of additional bone tunnels.PurposeTo compare the clinical outcomes of the shared ACL bone tunnel versus the independent transtibial pullout techniques for LMPRT repair combined with ACLR.Study designCohort study; Level of evidence, 3.MethodsBetween March 2014 and February 2018, a total of 48 patients were diagnosed with ACL injury with concomitant LMPRT; 22 patients underwent independent transtibial pullout repair (group T), and 26 patients underwent the shared ACL bone tunnel technique (group S). At a follow-up of >2 years, we compared knee functional recovery using the Lysholm, Tegner, and International Knee Documentation Committee scores and the pivot-shift test. Lateral meniscal extrusion, and cartilage degeneration on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were also compared. The healing status of the lateral meniscus posterior root was compared using second-look arthroscopy and MRI.ResultsThe duration of surgery was significantly shorter in group S compared with group T (98.3 ± 11.1 vs 127.9 ± 17.5 min; P = .001). At final follow-up, there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in knee functional scores, pivot shift, or grade of cartilage degeneration. Lateral meniscal extrusion was decreased in group S compared with group T (2.41 ± 0.61 vs 1.59 ± 1.35 mm; P = .014). Second-look arthroscopy revealed stable healing in 16 of 18 patients (88.9%) in group S and 10 of 15 patients (66.7%) in group T (P = .38).ConclusionBoth the shared ACL bone tunnel and the independent transtibial pullout techniques led to satisfactory clinical outcomes. The shared ACL bone tunnel technique is the simpler of the 2 procedures for combined LMPRT repair with ACLR.

Project description:BackgroundThe management of recurrent instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair remains challenging. Of the various treatment options, arthroscopic revision repairs are of increasing interest due to improved visualization of pathology and advancements in arthroscopic techniques and instrumentation.PurposeWe sought to assess the indications, techniques, outcomes, and complications for patients undergoing revision arthroscopic Bankart repair after a failed index arthroscopic soft-tissue stabilization for anterior shoulder instability.MethodsWe performed a systematic review of studies identified by a search of Medline, Embase, and PubMed. Our search range was from data inception to April 29, 2020. Outcomes include clinical outcomes and rates of complication and revision. The Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS) was used to assess study quality. Data are presented descriptively.ResultsTwelve studies were identified, comprising 279 patients (281 shoulders) with a mean age of 26.1 ± 3.8 years and a mean follow-up of 55.7 ± 24.3 months. Patients had improvements in postoperative outcomes (eg, pain and function). The overall complication rate was 29.5%, the most common being recurrent instability (19.9%).ConclusionWith significant improvements postoperatively and comparable recurrent instability rates, there exists a potential role in the use of revision arthroscopic Bankart repair where the glenoid bone loss is less than 20%. Clinicians should consider patient history and imaging findings to determine whether a more rigorous stabilization procedure is warranted. Large prospective cohorts with long-term follow-up and improved documentation are required to determine more accurate failure rates.

Project description:Treatment of traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation has evolved over the years in terms of surgical approaches and methods of repair. Recurrence of instability following surgical repair remains challenging with conventional methods of open reconstruction. We describe the utilization of arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction using a distal tibial allograft after a failed Latarjet procedure. Preoperative and operative methodology are described with relevant imaging investigations and a detailed intraoperative arthroscopic technique.

Project description:We have been performing arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with acellular dermal allograft for almost 2 years. Our techniques are based on Mihata's original concept for SCR, in which he used fascia lata autograft. In this report, we describe our standard arthroscopic technique as well as 2 variations of a "zip-line" technique, which we have found particularly useful for large dermal allografts (grafts that are ≥40 mm in any dimension).

Project description:BackgroundLittle is known about knee mechanics and muscle control after augmented ACL repair. Our aim was to compare knee biomechanics and leg muscle activity during walking between the legs of patients 2 years after InternalBraceTM-augmented anterior cruciate ligament repair (ACL-IB) and between patients after ACL-IB and ACL reconstruction (ACL-R), and controls.MethodsTwenty-nine ACL-IB, 27 sex- and age-matched ACL-R (hamstring tendon autograft) and 29 matched controls completed an instrumented gait analysis. Knee joint angles, moments, power, and leg muscle activity were compared between the involved and uninvolved leg in ACL-IB (paired t-tests), and between the involved legs in ACL patients and the non-dominant leg in controls (analysis of variance and posthoc Bonferroni tests) using statistical parametric mapping (SPM, P < 0.05). Means and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of differences in discrete parameters (DP; i.e., maximum/minimum) were calculated.ResultsSignificant differences were observed in ACL-IB only in minimum knee flexion angle (DP: 2.4°, CI [-4.4;-0.5]; involved > uninvolved) and maximum knee flexion moment during stance (-0.07Nm/kg, CI [-0.13;-0.00]; involved < uninvolved), and differences between ACL-IB and ACL-R only in maximum knee flexion during swing (DP: 3.6°, CI [0.5;7.0]; ACL-IB > ACL-R). Compared to controls, ACL-IB (SPM: 0-3%GC, P = 0.015; 98-100%, P = 0.016; DP: -6.3 mm, CI [-11.7;-0.8]) and ACL-R (DP: -6.0 mm, CI [-11.4;-0.2]) had lower (maximum) anterior tibia position around heel strike. ACL-R also had lower maximum knee extension moment (DP: -0.13Nm/kg, CI [-0.23;-0.02]) and internal knee rotation moment (SPM: 34-41%GC, P < 0.001; DP: -0.03Nm/kg, CI [-0.06;-0.00]) during stance, and greater maximum semitendinosus activity before heel strike (DP: 11.2%maximum voluntary contraction, CI [0.1;21.3]) than controls.ConclusionOur results suggest comparable ambulatory knee function 2 years after ACL-IB and ACL-R, with ACL-IB showing only small differences between legs. However, the differences between both ACL groups and controls suggest that function in the involved leg is not fully recovered and that ACL tear is not only a mechanical disruption but also affects the sensorimotor integrity, which may not be restored after surgery. The trend toward fewer abnormalities in knee moments and semitendinosus muscle function during walking after ACL-IB warrants further investigation and may underscore the importance of preserving the hamstring muscles as ACL agonists.Level of evidenceLevel III, case-control study.Trial registrationclinicaltrials.gov, NCT04429165 (12/06/2020).

Project description:Recurrent instability after anterior shoulder stabilization surgery is not an uncommon complication, with variable rates of recurrences associated with different surgical procedures. The Latarjet procedure continues to be the gold standard in the management of anterior instability with significant glenoid bone loss, although a recent trend toward arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction (AAGR) with distal tibial allograft has been noted, with excellent short-term results and minimal complication rates. Arthroscopic revision stabilization for failed stabilization procedures is increasingly being performed, although it is technically more challenging than the primary stabilization procedure because of the anatomic rearrangements of the index surgery. In this article, we describe a revision arthroscopic technique for anatomic glenoid reconstruction using iliac crest autograft for a previous failed AAGR procedure secondary to nonunion of the graft. The graft is passed through the Halifax far-medial portal without splitting the subscapularis. Arthroscopic revision in the setting of a failed AAGR procedure is technically easier than after a Latarjet procedure, as the anatomy is relatively undisturbed in the former, facilitating easier identification of anatomic landmarks, accurate graft positioning, and decreased risk of neurovascular injuries. A Bankart capsulolabral repair is performed after graft fixation, making the graft extra-articular and providing additional stability.

Project description:This technical note presents the single–anteromedial bundle biological augmentation (SAMBBA)–plus technique, which is a combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair and ACL reconstruction. Preservation of the native ACL fibers improves vascularity by encircling the ACL graft with synovium that is abundant in vascular-derived stem cells. Retaining the proprioceptive fibers of the native ACL can improve the recovery of joint positioning.
