Achilles Tendon Allograft Preparation Technique for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Technical Note.

ABSTRACT: Several factors associated with graft preparation for the surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) like the wrong thawed, prophylaxis, bone cuts, excessive bone removal as well as positioning problems like a tunnels-graft mismatch, insufficient harvesting of the donor's tendon, size graft limitations (length and diameter), uncontrolled rotation of graft in their longitudinal axis, over or under tensioned graft, fixation mistakes, bone defects, secondary arthrofibrosis or morbidity of the donor site, and others factors importantly affect the outcomes of the ACL surgery. In this sense, the Achilles tendon Allograft is an advantageous technique where many of the previous limitation factors described can be controlled during an appropriate preparation. However, to obtain the maximum potentialities of the graft a detailed knowledge of the preparation is required. Hence, we aimed to describe how to prepare the Achilles tendon Allograft to control the graft's length and diameter, bone removal, and fixation requirements.

Complex Anterior Cruciate Ligament Revision and Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis With Achilles Tendon Allograft: The "Monoloop" Technique.

Project description:Revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) presents many challenges that are not encountered in the primary setting and, therefore, requires thorough preoperative planning. Recently, there has been growing evidence showing that combining the anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction with ACL-R revision reduces the risk of postoperative ACL rupture and meniscal tears, and therefore, the ALL reconstruction becomes essential to a complex ACL revision. The technique that we describe is mainly used in the setting of complex ACL revision with extensive tunnel osteolysis associated with rotational instability of the knee. This article presents a technique for a one-stage complex ACL-R revision combined with ALL reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft with a bone plug.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Achilles Tendon Allograft.

Project description:Approaches to management of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and high-grade medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries remain controversial. Some studies suggest that with grade III MCL injuries, patients may benefit from concurrent MCL reconstruction to restore stability and prevent increased stress on the ACL graft. We present a technique for simultaneous ACL/MCL reconstructions using a single Achilles tendon allograft.

A novel graft preparation technique of the quadriceps tendon for arthroscopic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Project description:Surgical reconstruction is a general approach for an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Techniques have evolved from single-bundle to double-bundle reconstruction to restore the 2 anatomically and functionally different bundles as much as possible. However, there is controversy regarding which method yields superior clinical outcomes. The purpose of this article is to introduce our new graft preparation method, which will potentially address the limitations of currently available double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction procedures using the quadriceps tendon. The proximal portion of the graft is preserved in our method, instead of completely being split into 2 distinct graft bundles as previously suggested. We believe that the preserved portion can act as a biofunctional "safety circuit" in case of overloading and also help some synergistic actions of the 2 bundles.

Technique for Arthroscopic-Assisted Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Doubled Tibialis Anterior Tendon.

Project description:Advances in surgical technique and our knowledge of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) anatomy have resulted in a marked increase in options for ACL reconstruction. Currently, patient age and activity level, surgeon preference and experience, and cost are factors influencing the type of reconstruction recommended to address knee instability. We present a simplified transtibial method of ACL reconstruction using a single-bundle, doubled tibialis anterior allograft. This method uses fixation with a suspensory device on the femur and a bio-composite interference screw on the tibia. We recommend this simplified technique for primary ACL reconstruction because it minimizes total steps, thus limiting variance, maximizing efficiency, and reducing potential technical error.

Patellar Tendon Graft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Technique With Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:Suture tape augmentation for repair and in combination with reconstruction with grafts has been described for multiple procedures. To date, no description of a patellar tendon graft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an augmented graft has been published. This Technical Note details a technique we developed to incorporate a cross-linked suture tape into a patellar tendon graft.

Bone-Tendon-Autograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A New Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft Option.

Project description:The bone-tendon-bone (BTB) autograft is widely used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, the primary disadvantages of this technique include postoperative kneeling pain, the risk of perioperative patellar fracture, and graft-tunnel mismatch. Therefore, a single bone plug technique for ACL reconstructions was developed to mitigate the disadvantages of the BTB technique. To differentiate this graft, we have coined the term BTA, for bone-tendon-autograft. The middle third of the patellar tendon is used with a typical width of 10 to 11 mm. A standard tibial tubercle bone plug is harvested. The length of the patellar tendon and graft construct is then measured. If the tendon is >45 mm and the construct at least 70 mm, then we proceed with the BTA technique. At the inferior pole of the patella, electrocautery is used to harvest the tendon from the patella. The advantages of this technique include faster graft harvest and preparation. Obviating the patellar bone plug harvest should eliminate the risk of perioperative patellar fracture and theoretically will mitigate donor site morbidity and kneeling pain, 2 of the most commonly cited complications of the use of BTB autografts for ACL reconstruction. In conclusion, the BTA technique is a reliable technique for ACL reconstruction.

All-inside anterior cruciate ligament graft link: graft preparation technique.

Project description:The anatomic single-bundle, all-inside anterior cruciate ligament graft-link technique requires meticulous graft preparation. The graft choice is no-incision allograft or gracilis-sparing, posterior semitendinosus autograft. The graft is linked, like a chain, to femoral and tibial TightRope cortical suspensory fixation devices with adjustable-length graft loops (Arthrex, Naples, FL) in the following manner: the graft is quadrupled, and the free ends are first whip-stitched and then sutured with a buried-knot technique, 4 times through each strand in a loop. The graft is placed on a tensioning station under approximately 20 lb of tension during arthroscopic preparation of the knee and then removed from the tensioner and inserted into all-inside femoral and tibial sockets through the anteromedial arthroscopic portal.

Graft Preparation Technique to Optimize Hamstring Graft Diameter for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Hamstring autografts are frequently used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The inherent variability in graft diameter has been stated as a disadvantage in its use because the presence of smaller graft diameters has been correlated with increased risk of re-rupture. Several techniques have been described to address this concern. Modifications of the basic Graftlink technique allows for increased control over final graft diameter using a standard harvest of the semitendinosus tendon with or without the gracilis tendon, and results in a graft of adequate length and diameter in all patients with rigid cortical fixation on the femur and tibia.

Anteromedial Portal Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Tibialis Anterior Allograft.

Project description:In an effort to better restore normal joint function and kinematics, recent emphasis has been placed on surgical techniques that provide a more anatomic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). With femoral tunnel placement shown to play a vital role in the biomechanics, stability, and clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction, approaches that better approximate the ACL's native femoral origin have been adopted. The independent anteromedial portal technique is thought to better position the femoral tunnel within the native ACL footprint and leave the graft more posteroinferior on the wall of the lateral femoral condyle than the more traditional transtibial approach. This article outlines the surgical technique for an anteromedial portal ACL reconstruction with a tibialis anterior allograft fixed with the Mitek Femoral and Tibial Intrafix sheath and screw system (DePuy Synthes, Raynham, MA).
