Single-Stage Arthroscopy-Assisted Reduction and Internal Fixation (ARIF) of Tibial Rim Fracture With Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Repair of Posterolateral Complex and Meniscal Injury

ABSTRACT: Multiligament knee injury with periarticular fractures are high-velocity injuries and generally require a staged treatment approach that involves multiple hospitalizations and results in delayed return to activity. We report a single-stage management technique for these injuries with arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation of a depressed tibial rim fracture with concomitant posterolateral complex repair, medial meniscal repair, and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Technique Video Video 1 This video demonstrates single stage arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation of tibial rim fracture with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction and repair of posterolateral complex and meniscal injury. Examination under anaesthesia revealed a grade III PCL and posterolateral complex injury confirmed on imaging along with a depressed fracture of the anteromedial tibial rim. The first step in our technique is to address the depressed fracture with elevation and bone grafting under arthroscopy assistance and also to fix the fibular head avulsion using a cannulated cancellous screw and tension band wiring. In the second step, the medial meniscal tear is addressed using all-inside technique and inside-out technique and the PCL is reconstructed using hamstring graft. The third step is to stabilize the elevated tibial rim using a buttress plate.

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

Project description: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 Treatment of Acute Tibial Avulsion Fracture of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament Using the TightRope Fixation Device.

Project description:Avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament from its tibial insertion is a rare condition. Early surgical treatment has been regarded as necessary, but the optimal surgical technique remains unclear. The purpose of this technical note is to present a novel all-inside arthroscopic reconstruction technique for bony tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament using the TightRope device (Arthrex, Naples, FL).

Suspensory Anterior Tibial Fixation in the Anatomic Transtibial Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:The transtibial technique is the most relevant among many surgical techniques for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and many types of fixation devices are used for tibial fixation according to the technique and the length of the graft. However, bone density in the fixation areas should be taken into consideration when choosing the fixation device to achieve rigid and stable fixation. However, density is not a substantial issue for anteromedial cortical fixation using a cortical suspension device. We describe tibial fixation with a TightRope RT (Arthrex, Naples, FL), which is a cortical suspension device, in anatomic transtibial posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Dual Postero-Medial Portal Technique for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture Fixations.

Project description:The posterior cruciate ligament surgery invariably demands adequate posterior compartment visualisation and instrumentation. The addition of posteromedial (PM) portal during posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) surgeries remains essential. The further addition of one more proximal posteromedial (PM) portal further enhances the instrumentation including suture passage in the substance of PCL or screws insertion and more so obviates the need for trans-septal and posterolateral (PL) portals. This additional PM portal is created in the safe zone under direct visualisation utilising outside-in technique and is spaced to prevent crowding of instrument with arthroscope. The proximal higher PM portal serves as instrument portal and provides optimal trajectory for even arthroscopic screw fixation of PCL avulsion fractures.

Multiple Looping Technique for Tibial Fixation in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction of the Knee.

Project description:The outcomes of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may be negatively affected by insufficient tibial tunnel fixation due to relatively lower bone density of the proximal tibia. We introduce a new technique of tibial fixation for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using free tendon Achilles allograft that is less affected by the bone density of the tibial metaphysis.

An Arthroscopic Procedure for Restoration of Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Slope in Tibial Plateau Fracture Associated With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries.

Project description:High-energy anterior cruciate ligament (high-energy ACL) injury, occurring in high-energy rotatory trauma of the knee, can accompany a unique fracture pattern that involves depression of the slope of the posterolateral tibial plateau (PLTP). These injuries are challenging to manage due to the lack of a gold-standard arthroscopic procedure that addresses both ACL deficiency and depressed PLTP slope. In such injuries, a one-stage approach may be used to (1) reconstruct the ACL or (2) reduce and fix the avulsed tibial spine, while concomitantly performing an arthroscopy-assisted reduction of a PLTP fracture that restores the anatomic slope of the tibial plateau. To summarize, using combined arthroscopic and fluoroscopic visualization, a tibial tunnel reaching 1 cm distal to the depressed plateau fragment is created using a cannulated drill. The drill is used to punch up the depressed fragment to its anatomic location, restoring the original slope of the PLTP. The corrected slope is then fixed in situ using a press-fit fibular allograft to stabilize the corrected PLTP slope. Use of this minimally invasive arthroscopic technique to restore the PLTP slope may help prevent graft failure of the reconstructed ACL and improve patient outcomes.

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.

Stay Ipsilateral: An Analysis of Tibial Tunnel Distance Between Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Posterior Meniscal Root Repair.

Project description:PurposeTo establish mean distance or identify intersection between tibial tunnels for posterior meniscal root repair in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction.MethodsTwelve cadaver knees and 12 solid foam synthetic tibiae were used. ACL and PCL tunnels were drilled for single-bundle reconstruction, and both medial and lateral posterior root repair tunnels were drilled. Specimens underwent computed tomography scanning and shortest distances between tunnels in all planes were measured by 2 readers. Distances were compared between groups using a t-test.ResultsIn ACL reconstruction, the medial meniscal root tunnel was not significantly closer to the cruciate tunnel when drilled from either medial or lateral side (P = .333). The lateral meniscal root tunnel was significantly closer when drilled from medial compared to lateral side (P < .001). In PCL reconstruction, both medial (P = .037) and lateral (P = .028) meniscal root tunnels were significantly closer to the PCL tunnel when drilled from the contralateral side of the tibia.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that posterior meniscal root repair tunnels are often placed within a few millimeters and can even intersect cruciate ligament reconstruction tunnels in the proximal tibia.Clinical relevanceThe information in this study may assist surgeons in planning for cruciate ligament reconstruction with concomitant posterior meniscal root repair.

Arthroscopic Fixation Technique for Avulsion Fracture of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament From the Tibia.

Project description:This study describes an arthroscopic pullout fixation technique for small and comminuted avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament from the tibia. Intra-articular surgery required 3 arthroscopic portals, the anterolateral, anteromedial, and posteromedial portals. To simplify surgery, the posterolateral portal was omitted. A 2.4-mm K-wire was inserted through the anterior incision to the center of the bone fragment. This central guidewire was subsequently overdrilled with a 4.0-mm cannulated drill. The fixation material consisted of Pass Telos artificial ligaments inserted through the fiber loop of a fixed suspensory device such as RIGIDLOOP. The leading end of the thread of the RIGIDLOOP was pulled out through the anteromedial portal. The button of RIGIDLOOP was gradually advanced through the bone tunnel. The button was pulled out and flipped over the bony fragment. The artificial ligament was pulled distally to reduce the bony fragment, and fixed onto the tibia using a ligament button while applying anterior drawer force to the proximal tibia with the knee flexed at 90°. This minimally invasive procedure was successful in treating small and comminuted avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament.
