Arthroscopic Management of Synovial Osteochondromatosis of the Elbow.

ABSTRACT: Primary synovial chondromatosis is characterized by newly formed chondral or osteochondral nodules in the synovial membrane, which may detach and form loose bodies. The loose bodies can be calcified or ossified, and the condition is termed synovial osteochondromatosis. Three distinct stages can be identified in primary synovial chondromatosis : phase I is active synovitis without loose bodies, phase II shows nodular synovitis along with loose bodies, and phase III is characterized by the presence of loose bodies with the resolution of synovitis. Surgical treatment has been recommended as the first choice of therapy in phases II and III disease. Complete synovectomy and removal of all loose bodies is advisable for prevention of recurrence of the disease. In this technical note, the technical details of arthroscopic removal of loose bodies and synovectomy for the management of synovial osteochondromatosis of the elbow is described. Compared with open procedures, the arthroscopic approach has many advantages, including a shorter rehabilitation period and higher patient satisfaction.

Arthroscopic Elbow Osteocapsular Arthroplasty.

Project description:Treatment of primary elbow osteoarthritis in the young active patient less than 50 years old presents a treatment challenge to the practicing orthopaedic surgeon. Following failure of nonoperative management, surgical goals are aimed at reducing pain and improving joint mobility from bony impingement. Arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty is a viable treatment option with few post-operative limitations. In contrast, total elbow arthroplasty is considered a salvage option in this patient population given the activity restrictions imposed. Osteocapsular arthroplasty combines soft tissue and bony debridement, osteophyte/loose body removal, synovectomy, capsular release, and bony contouring of the humerus and ulna to allow impingement-free range of motion.

Arthroscopic Arthrolysis of Stiff Elbow.

Project description:Elbow stiffness is defined as an arc of flexion-extension motion of less than 100° and/or a contracture of more than 30° in flexion. Stiff elbow is common and can be very disabling, preventing individuals from carrying out the basic activities of daily living. The most common cause of stiff elbow is the sequela of an injury, but osteoarthritis can also produce limitations of mobility, which can benefit from surgical treatment The treatment of stiff elbow is initially orthopedic. If the patient still has functional limitations of the elbow after 6 months of suitable rehabilitation treatment , the option of surgical treatment must be considered. Surgical arthrolysis of the elbow can be performed with open surgery as well as with arthroscopic surgery. Good results can be obtained with both techniques achieving a functional arc of at least -30° extension to 130° of flexion. Arthroscopic surgery enables results comparable with those of open surgery but with a lower percentage of complications.

Handheld Osteotomes Facilitate Arthroscopic Elbow Osteophyte Removal.

Project description:Arthroscopic elbow surgery is a challenging procedure in part because of the limited intra-articular volume of the joint, the congruence of the elbow articulation, and the close proximity of the neurovascular structures. Arthritic conditions that result in the development of bony prominences and osteophytes are usually amenable to arthroscopic management and include diagnoses such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and valgus extension overload syndrome. Safe and efficient removal of these osteophytes can be problematic, however, because of technical difficulties often encountered while using arthroscopic burrs and shavers as well as the risks of inadvertent, iatrogenic injury to adjacent articular cartilage and other structures. A valuable and effective technique using small handheld osteotomes to facilitate the arthroscopic removal of intra-articular osteophytes and other bony prominences is described and shown.

Arthroscopic Elbow Debridement Using Anterocentral Transbrachialis Portal.

Project description:Arthroscopic debridement for elbow osteoarthritis has been widely used as a minimally invasive treatment; however, in some cases, it can be a technically demanding procedure, such as in patients with severe osteoarthritis with large spur formation and severe synovitis. The anterocentral transbrachialis portal is a recently developed portal for elbow arthroscopy, which allows easy and convenient access to the anterior compartment for sufficient debridement. This report describes in detail the anterocentral transbrachialis portal and its usefulness for debridement of the elbow joint in osteoarthritis.

Arthroscopic Excision of Osteoid Osteoma of the Elbow.

Project description:Osteoid osteoma has been reported infrequently around the elbow joint, and is usually treated with radiofrequency ablation or open excision. Elbow arthroscopy is useful for excision of accessible lesions, and the accompanying elbow stiffness can be treated concurrently. This report describes an arthroscopic excision of an osteoid osteoma located in the juxta-articular distal humeral bone. An initial adhesiolysis and capsulectomy is performed to gain access to the region above the capitellar articular margin. A 70° arthroscope is necessary to visualize this region via the anteromedial portal. An accessory lateral portal is used to detach the capsule from the distal humerus; the scar tissue overlying the lesion is debrided and the circumferential lesion is visualized and probed for identification of its extent. A biopsy is performed, and thereafter the lesion is excised piecemeal. The sclerotic margins are curetted, and radiofrequency ablation is performed. The technique is cosmetic and minimally invasive, and can be performed in revision scenarios involving recurrences after open surgery or needle radiofrequency thermal ablation. Early rehabilitation restores range of motion and strength. Technical tips for identification and curettage of the lesion are presented.

Arthroscopic ulnar nerve identification during posterior elbow arthroscopy.

Project description:Elbow arthroscopy has increased in popularity in the past 10 years for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A major limiting factor faced by the elbow arthroscopist is the close proximity of the neurovasculature to the working field, with the risk of iatrogenic injury. Many arthroscopic procedures are less extensive than their open equivalents because of an inability to consistently and safely eliminate the risk of neural and vascular injury. Many open procedures in the posterior compartment of the elbow joint are not routinely performed arthroscopically. The primary reason for this restriction in arthroscopic practice is the locality of the posteromedially positioned ulnar nerve in the posterior compartment. Experience and practice with elbow arthroscopic techniques allows surgeons to expand the indications for arthroscopic treatment of an increasing number of elbow pathologies. A philosophy that is routine in open surgery when dealing with pathology that is adjacent to neurovasculature is to identify the neurovasculature and hence reduce the risk of injury. Our aim is to translate this philosophy to arthroscopy by helping define a safe technique for identifying the ulnar nerve in the posteromedial elbow gutter and allowing for a safer performance of procedures in the posteromedial region of the elbow.

Intraoperative arthroscopic classification tool for posterolateral elbow instability.

Project description:Introducing and implementing an arthroscopic classification tool for posterolateral elbow instability. Thirty arthroscopies were performed on 30 patients, and all recordings were collected, blinded, and labeled. Three orthopedic surgeons reviewed and scored all 30 recordings three times with a period of at least seven days in between to analyze the intraobserver and interobserver reliability. The classification consisted of five different grades. Indications for elbow arthroscopy included impingement (n = 7), osteochondritis dissecans (n = 5), pain (n = 7), osteoarthritis (n = 6), and other (n = 5). The kappa value for intrarater reliability was 0.71, indicating good reliability, while the kappa value for inter-rater reliability was 0.38 indicating fair reliability. This new classification is a tool for an arthroscopic assessment of PLRI and can be used as a standardized grading system for further research and communication between orthopedic surgeons. We demonstrated good intrarater reliability (k = 0.71) with fair inter-rater reliability (k = 0.38). However, further research is necessary to study the clinical significance.

Arthroscopic Diagnosis of Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most common form of symptomatic acute and chronic elbow instability. Diagnosis is usually made using a combination of clinical tests and imaging modalities; however, in more subtle forms of instability, these measures may be equivocal. Arthroscopy is a valuable adjunct for diagnosis and treatment of PLRI. It allows direct appreciation of the instability process, quantification of the degree of instability, and identification of concurrent associated pathology. The aim of this technique article is to report a series of reproducible arthroscopic tests used for diagnosis of PLRI with examples of normal and pathologic arthroscopic findings.

Arthroscopic Anterior Elbow Capsular Release Initiated Using Metal Trocar.

Project description:Elbow stiffness occurs as a consequence of multifactorial etiologies and can be broadly classified into either extra-articular or intra-articular contracture. Although nonoperative treatment regimens may prove successful, recalcitrant cases may require operative management. Both open and arthroscopic procedures to address these contractures have been described. Open techniques have historically been the mainstay of surgical management prior to the advent and advancement of arthroscopy. Although often successful, open elbow contracture release introduces added iatrogenic insult to the soft tissue envelope and has the potential to compromise the intraoperatively obtained gains in motion. Arthroscopic contracture release, although not without its own inherent risks, has been shown to be an effective intervention for the release of elbow capsular contractures. Arthroscopic release of the elbow capsule can be challenging, however, because of its thickness and proximity to vital neurovascular structures. The authors describe an adjunctive technique for effectively and efficiently releasing the anterior and posterior capsule under arthroscopic visualization using a 4.5-mm large metal trocar.

Handheld Osteotomes Facilitate Arthroscopic Treatment of Elbow Valgus Extension Overload.

Project description:Arthroscopic elbow surgery can be difficult due to the highly congruent nature of the joint and the surrounding neurovascular and ligamentous structures at risk. In a patient with valgus extension overload, posterior medial olecranon osteophytes must be removed safely to restore range of motion and alleviate pain. Arthroscopic burrs and shavers create significant debris, therefore limiting visualization, and their use has inherent risks to the surrounding structures that need to be preserved. Small, handheld osteotomes can facilitate the safe and efficient removal of these posterior medial osteophytes while preserving normal bone and articular cartilage.
