An Arthroscopic-Assisted Radial Meniscal Tear Repair Using Reinforced Suture Tape Rebars and Suture Tapes.

ABSTRACT: A radial tear of the meniscus can lead to significant loss of meniscus function, resulting in deleterious cartilage changes. Repair of radial meniscus tears has several challenges, including suture pull-out, which can reduce healing success. We present an arthroscopic repair technique in a complete radial lateral meniscus tear using vertical reinforced bars (rebar) of suture tapes to reduce suture pull-out and approximate the radial tear.

Continuous Meniscal Suture in Radial Meniscal Tear: The Hourglass Technique.

Project description:The key to preventing early knee osteoarthritis is meniscal preservation. The main functions of the meniscus are impact absorption, mechanical load transmission, lubrication, joint stability, and proprioception. Radial lesions that extend to the joint capsule are called complete radial tears. This type of injury compromises 2 of the main meniscal functions, which are impact absorption and load distribution, which is equivalent, from a biomechanical perspective, to a total meniscectomy. In the recent past, the treatment of choice for this type of injury was partial meniscectomy. However, several studies have observed progressive joint degeneration after this type of treatment. Recently, different types of meniscal sutures involving radial lesions of the meniscus have been developed. It is believed that such repairs may bring a decrease in future osteoarthritis in this patient profile. The purpose of this article is to describe the steps of continuous meniscal suture for the treatment of radial tears of the medial and lateral menisci.

All-inside Techniques for Meniscal Radial Root Tear Repair.

Project description:Meniscal radial root tears can disrupt the load-bearing function of the meniscus and worsen instability in anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knees. Paracentral radial tears adjacent to the root (types 1, 2, and 4) repaired with a transtibial pullout suture technique can lead to over-medialization of the meniscal root and a high-tension nonanatomic repair. We propose 2 all-inside techniques for anatomic repair of medial and lateral meniscal radial root tears with (1) an all-inside meniscal repair device and (2) an antegrade suture passer. We present the technical requirements and tips for these techniques. For lateral meniscal radial root repair with an all-inside meniscal repair device, ideal viewing is from an anterolateral portal with device entry from an anteromedial portal to reduce the risk of vascular injury. We recommend at least 2 stitches across the tear, with the depth setting limited to 18 to 20 mm for a central stitch and 16 mm or less for a peripherally placed stitch. For root repair with an antegrade suture passer, viewing should be from an anteromedial portal with the passer entering from an anterolateral portal. At least 2 stitches should be placed across the tear, with 1 central and 1 peripheral or 1 superior and 1 inferior.

Arthroscopic Saucerization and Repair of Discoid Lateral Meniscal Tear.

Project description:Meniscal tears are among the most commonly diagnosed knee injuries and often require surgical intervention. Understanding the types of meniscal tears and treatment options is paramount to caring for the young athlete. Sports medicine and arthroscopic physicians now recognize that meniscal preservation in the young athlete is essential to the long-term health and function of the knee. Although uncommon, the discoid lateral meniscus is more prone to injury because of its increased thickness and lack of blood supply. Because of the abnormal development, the peripheral attachments are frequently absent and instability often persists after a partial meniscectomy. If the instability is unrecognized during the initial treatment, a recurrence of pain and mechanical symptoms is likely and a subsequent subtotal meniscectomy may be the only treatment option. With increased awareness, arthroscopic saucerization accompanied by arthroscopically assisted inside-out meniscal repair is a preferable treatment option with an excellent outcome.

Arthroscopic Meniscal Root Repair Using a Ceterix NovoStitch Suture Passer.

Project description:Meniscal root injuries can compromise knee function and lead to early degenerative changes if not appropriately treated. Numerous techniques have been described; however, the technical difficulties in performing these repairs are well known. Furthermore, the relative strengths of various repair techniques have been examined. This article describes a single-working portal meniscal root repair technique using a double-locking loop suture configuration with a novel suture-passing device that offers a strong, reproducible repair construct.

Arthroscopic Low-Profile Knotless Repair of SLAP Tears With Suture Tape.

Project description:SLAP tears have been a controversial topic in shoulder surgery for decades. The indications for repair of SLAP tears, as well as the methods of repair, have undergone a recent evolution. The use of intra-articular knots for SLAP repair has fallen out of favor because of potential abrasive damage to the rotator cuff and glenohumeral articular cartilage due to knot migration and prominence. In response to this potential iatrogenic injury, arthroscopic techniques have undergone an evolution using advanced techniques with low-profile knotless repairs. We describe our preferred low-profile knotless technique for SLAP repair using LabralTape (Arthrex) in a horizontal mattress configuration.

Arthroscopic Double-Pulley Suture-Bridge Repair of Supraspinatus Tendon Tear.

Project description:At present, the suture bridge is a widely used surgical pattern in the treatment of supraspinatus tendon tear, but the shortcomings of a suture bridge, including expensive lateral-row anchor and increased type 2 retear rate, is obvious. The double-pulley suture-bridge described in this Technical Note uses a double-loaded suture anchor (medial-row anchor) as lateral-row anchor instead of traditional lateral-row anchor, combined with double-pulley technology forming suture-bridge in treatment of supraspinatus tendon tears. The surgical technique is described in pearls, pitfalls, advantages, and disadvantages.

Arthroscopic procedure for revision of failed isolated bucket-handle meniscal tear repair.

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.

A Technique for Arthroscopic-Assisted Ligamentum Teres Augmentation Using a Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:Ligamentum teres (LT) tears are a pathologic condition being identified at increasing frequency because of growing use of hip arthroscopy. The exact role of the LT is not well understood, but it has been shown in recent biomechanical studies to contribute to hip stability. Patients with hip pain, instability, and/or mechanical symptoms with advanced imaging findings showing LT pathology may benefit from an LT augmentation. We present an arthroscopic-assisted LT augmentation technique, which can be performed as an isolated procedure or in conjunction with an arthroscopic labral repair and/or debridement, chondroplasty, and femoroplasty.

Full-Thickness Radial Medial Meniscal Tear: Fixation With Inside-Out Technique With Tibial Knotless Suture Anchors.

Project description:Complete radial tears of the meniscus render the entirety of the meniscus functionally incompetent (known as an ameniscal state); therefore, attempts at repair are essential. Although various techniques have been described, repair failures continue to frequently occur, especially with the medial meniscus. Inside-out repair and anchoring of the preserved meniscus to both the capsule and tibia may offer the advantage of a more robust repair. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe a method of repair for complete radial tears of the medial meniscus using a combination of inside-out sutures and secondary reinforcement to the tibia using all-suture knotless anchors.
