Arthroscopic Suture-to-Loop Fixation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture.

ABSTRACT: Avulsion fracture of the tibial insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) receives constant concern. Arthroscopic procedures have long been attempted because of their minimally invasive nature, and various related techniques have been reported. However, the best arthroscopic method is still being pursued. In this article, we introduce an arthroscopic suture ligation and backup adjustable-loop fixation technique for PCL tibial avulsion fracture. The critical points of this technique are proper ligation of the PCL, proper location of the 2 tibial tunnels to create pulleys for posterior-inferior reduction of the bone fragment, and additional backup suture loop fixation. Our experience indicates that this technique is efficient and relatively simple. We consider that the introduction of this technique will provide a reasonable choice in the treatment of PCL tibial avulsion fracture.

Arthroscopic Suture-to-Adjustable Loop Fixation of Adult Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture.

Project description:Adult tibial avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) occurs not as frequently as ACL tear but still is concerning. There are many methods of arthroscopic fixation of this special fracture. However, a simple and effective method is still being pursued. We would like to introduce an arthroscopic suture-to-adjustable loop fixation technique, which features are a reduction of lateral displacement of the fragment by special suture configuration and tensioning, and a final reduction of residual displacement by tensioning the adjustable loop. We consider the introduction of this technique will provide additional choice in the treatment of adult ACL tibial avulsion fracture.

Dual Posteromedial Portal Technique: Arthroscopic Loop Suspensory Fixation-Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture injuries have been associated with an increased risk of meniscal tears and premature patellofemoral/medial compartment osteoarthritis. Sports-related trauma is a common cause of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. Surgical management is recommended for displaced bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament to stabilize the knee and prevent knee pain, nonunion, and osteoarthritis progression. This article discusses our preferred treatment using a loop suspensory fixation device through a dual posteromedial portal technique.

Suture Bridge Fixation for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture in Children.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures in children are extremely rare. Due to the rarity of these injuries, careful attention to the specific physical examination and imaging findings is necessary for a proper diagnosis. PCL avulsion fractures can be missed on plain radiography in skeletally immature patients. Magnetic resonance imaging should be considered if sagging or posterior drawer sign is positive after a strong hit to the anterior aspect of the lower leg. With this knowledge, clinicians can formulate treatment plans that can return patients to their original functionality while avoiding potential morbidity from misdiagnoses. We treated these patients using the suture bridge method. In children, ossification is incomplete, and they possess a lot of cartilage, so screw fixation easily destroys avulsed fragment. The suture bridge method can firmly fix the avulsed fragments, reducing the risk of damage to the bone fragment; therefore, a secondary surgery for implant removal is not needed. Arthroscopic surgery also was expected to be technically difficult in children due to the limited scope of the operation. We used open fixation because the outcome was unaffected by open surgery and arthroscopic surgery, and all patients returned to full sporting activity postoperatively.

Arthroscopic 4-point suture fixation of anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures.

Project description:Tibial eminence avulsion fractures are rare injuries occurring mainly in adolescents and young adults. When necessary, regardless of patient age, anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation are mandatory for fracture healing and accurate restoration of normal knee biomechanics. Various arthroscopically assisted fixation methods with sutures, anchors, wires, or screws have been described but can be technically demanding, thus elongating operative times. The purpose of this article is to present a technical variation of arthroscopic suture fixation of anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. Using thoracic drain needles over 2.4-mm anterior cruciate ligament tibial guidewires, we recommend the safe and easy creation of four 2.9-mm tibial tunnels at different angles and at specific points. This technique uses thoracic drain needles as suture passage cannulas and offers 4-point fixation stability, avoiding potential complications of bony bridge fracture and tunnel connection.

Arthroscopic Transosseous Suture-bridge Fixation for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fractures.

Project description:Few cases of tibial spine avulsion injuries occur in adolescents. An open or arthroscopic surgical approach is indicated for displaced and nonreducible fractures, but evidence for a gold standard is insufficient. Various arthroscopic techniques are available. Suture fixation is popular and shows good results. The proposed technique is a modified suture-bridge fixation using 2 high-strength sutures tied through 2 transosseous tunnels. This simple and low-cost technique avoids the potential complications of hardware fixation within a joint. It represents an arthroscopic treatment option for anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion injuries.

Arthroscopic Suture Fixation in Femoral-Sided Avulsion Fracture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

Project description:A femoral-sided avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a rare and challenging condition. Most reported cases have occurred in childhood or adolescence. Many techniques of ACL repair have been reported, and in recent years, techniques in arthroscopic surgery have been developed and have become ever more popular with orthopaedic surgeons. We created a technique of arthroscopic ACL repair with suture anchor fixation for a femoral-sided ACL avulsion fracture. This technique saves the natural ACL stump. It is available for cases in which creation of a tibial tunnel is not allowed. Moreover, it does not require a skin incision for fixation on the far femoral cortex and, therefore, does not require a second operation to remove the fixation device. The arthroscopic technique also has a good cosmetic outcome.

Arthroscopic Fixation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Using FiberWire Suture With Suture Disc.

Project description:Controversy still exists regarding how to reduce and fix a displaced tibial avulsion fracture. Open reduction and internal fixation may lead to morbidity due to soft-tissue injury and arthrotomy. As a result, arthroscopic techniques are increasing in popularity. In the literature, sutures, K wires, and screws are suggested to be used as the fixation devices. Screws cannot be used in small or comminuted fractures, whereas K wires and sutures may not provide strong stability. Recently, with the advent of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene sutures like FiberWire, it has become possible to use it as the fixation device in even comminuted avulsion fractures with acceptable reduction stability. In this paper, we describe a simple arthroscopic technique using a FiberWire to manage the displaced tibial eminence avulsion fracture.

Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Using an Adjustable-Length Loop Device.

Project description:A displaced avulsion fracture at the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament is considered an indication for surgical reduction and internal fixation because nonunion and remaining posterior instability of the knee are common consequences of conservative treatment. The problems with standard open surgical techniques are that they are relatively invasive despite the limited operative field and it is impossible to explore intra-articular lesions by the posterior approach. An arthroscopic procedure has the advantage of being minimally invasive and allowing the surgeon to detect and treat associated intra-articular injuries. We present an arthroscopic reduction-internal fixation technique using an adjustable-length loop device. A trans-septal portal is created to visualize the fracture fragment directly, and the fragment is reduced and penetrated with a cannulated drill under fluoroscopic guidance. An adjustable-length loop device is relayed from the posteromedial portal and pulled out through the fragment in an anterograde fashion, placing a button on top of the fragment. By tightening the loop, downward compression can be applied to the fragment. Overall, this technique provides good reduction and bone union, and excellent clinical outcomes, including posterior knee stability, can be achieved.

Arthroscopic Nontransosseous Suture Fixation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fractures.

Project description:Few cases of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial avulsion injuries occur in adolescents. Bony ACL avulsion from the tibial side has been treated by various methods ranging from conservative management to a wide range of operative procedures. Various arthroscopic operative procedures are available to reduce and fix these fractures. We describe a technique of arthroscopic "8" knotted fixation without any tibial tunnels for tibial-sided ACL avulsion. This simple technique avoids the potential complications of hardware fixation within a joint. It represents an arthroscopic treatment option for ACL tibial avulsion injuries.
