Crochet Hook Technique for Arthroscopic Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair: Technique Note.

ABSTRACT: Ankle sprains can lead to chronic lateral ankle instability caused by an injured anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), and surgery is often required when conservative treatments fail. BROSTROM surgery is considered the gold standard and has a definite curative effect. Advancements in arthroscopic surgery and improvements in implanted anchors have led to an increase in ATFL repairs using arthroscopic surgery. Arthroscopic AFTL repair is less invasive, and patients could experience faster recovery compared to open AFTL repair. To simplify the complicated suture-passing processes in arthroscopic AFTL repair, we developed a crochet hook and loop wire technique, which is described in this paper.

Arthroscopic Anatomic Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair for Anterolateral Ankle Instability.

Project description:Ankle instability is due to repetitive inversion injuries and is usually treated conservatively; however, after repeated sprains, chronic instability occurs and usually requires a surgical procedure. Recently, arthroscopic repair of a torn anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) has become more popular owing to its minimal invasiveness and high efficacy. An all-inside technique allows for anatomic restoration of the injured ATFL, provides stability to the ankle joint, prevents a limitation of ankle range of motion, and may prevent arthritic development. We present an all-inside arthroscopic ATFL repair technique.

Anatomical Arthroscopic Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair and Reconstruction Using a Free Tendon.

Project description:Arthroscopic techniques for anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair and reconstruction have been developed in recent years. We simultaneously performed anatomical arthroscopic ATFL repair and reconstruction using a free tendon graft. The ATFL remnant is carefully dissected only at the footprint of the superior limb of the ATFL, and a bone tunnel is created on each side of the fibula and talus. A soft suture anchor with 2 sets of threads is inserted into the fibular tunnel. One set of threads is used to grab the ATFL remnant via a lasso-loop technique, whereas the other set of threads is used to introduce the ATFL graft. The graft is first fixed with a screw in the talar tunnel. Subsequently, the ATFL remnant and the graft are tightened simultaneously by pulling the 2 sets of suture anchor threads at the fibular tunnel and are fixed with a screw. This technique provides the possible advantages of remnant preservation and promotion of load sharing by the repaired ATFL remnant and the reconstructed ATFL graft.

Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:The most common injury sustained to the ankle ligaments is a result of inversion of the foot. This mechanism results in injury to the anterior talofibular ligament alone or in conjunction with the calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament. Patients experiencing recurrent ankle sprains despite nonoperative measures often require surgical management. Recent focus has been on augmentation procedures to improve the stability of a lateral ankle ligament repair by protecting it during the healing phase and supporting early mobilization. This article describes, with video illustration, anterior talofibular ligament repair with suture tape augmentation.

Arthroscopically Assisted Tape Augmentation for Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair.

Project description:In this Technical Note, we describe arthroscopically assisted tape augmentation of a modified Broström repair for chronic lateral ankle instability. Specifically, this technique involves talar anchor placement under direct arthroscopic visualization combined with a minimally invasive approach for anatomic anterior talofibular ligament repair and FiberTape (Arthrex, Naples, FL) augmentation. The primary advantage of our technique compared with open InternalBrace (Arthrex) techniques is that only a 2-cm incision is made and no subcutaneous suture passing and knot tying are required, which bear the danger of superficial peroneal nerve damage. In addition, the risk of nonanatomic anchor placement is diminished owing to direct arthroscopic visualization and preparation of the anterior talofibular ligament remnants.

Clinical outcomes of arthroscopic all-inside anterior talofibular ligament suture augmentation repair versus modified suture augmentation repair for chronic ankle instability patients.

Project description:BackgroundTo compare the clinical efficacies of arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament suture augmentation repair and modified suture augmentation repair in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI).MethodsFrom October 2019 to August 2020, 100 patients with CAI were enrolled after propensity score matching analysis and observed for two years. Among them, 50 underwent modified suture augmentation repair and the other 50 underwent suture augmentation repair. The clinical efficacies of CAI treatments were evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) clinical rating scale, visual analog scale (VAS), and anterior drawer test scores.ResultsThe postoperative AOFAS score of the modified suture augmentation repair group (83.8 ± 11.3) was significantly higher than that of the suture augmentation repair group (76.3 ± 11.3; P = 0.001). The VAS (P = 0.863) and anterior drawer test (P = 0.617) scores were not significantly different between the two treatment groups.ConclusionBoth the modified suture augmentation repair and suture augmentation repair demonstrated good clinical efficacies. The AOFAS score of the modified suture augmentation repair group was superior to that of the conventional suture augmentation repair group. Thus, modified suture augmentation repair is a feasible and practical surgical technique for CAI treatment.

How to Succeed in Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Primary Repair? Step-by-Step Technique.

Project description:Historically, poor results of open primary repair of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been reported. It has recently been recognized that favorable outcomes of primary ACL repair are possible when selectively performed in patients with proximal tears and good tissue quality. Moreover, with arthroscopic technological advances, primary repair can be a valuable treatment option for patients with proximal tears. Preserving the native ACL has several advantages, including maintenance of native proprioceptive function and biology. The procedure is also minimally invasive and reduces the inflammatory reaction often seen in ACL reconstruction. Recently, it has been suggested that additional suture augmentation of the primary repair technique may be beneficial for protecting ligament healing during early range of motion. In this Technical Note, we present the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic primary repair using a femoral suspensory device with suture augmentation.

All-Inside Arthroscopic Anatomic Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair for Anterolateral Ankle Instability Using a Knotless Suture Anchor, Allowing for Tension Adjustment.

Project description:In recent years, arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair techniques have been increasingly used for chronic ankle instability. Besides permitting the treatment of several comorbidities, arthroscopic techniques are applied to minimize the need for aggressive surgery and improve the assessment of anatomic structures. We describe our surgical technique for all-arthroscopic anatomic ATFL repair using a knotless anchor, which can adjust suture tension under direct visualization using a self-locking mechanism. Thus, this technique diminishes the chance of repaired ligament separation from its attachment by obtaining the desired tension. Moreover, its knotless property allows the avoidance of some complications such as neuritis and pain related to bulky knots.

Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Anterior Talofibular Ligament, Lateral Talocalcaneal Ligament, and Calcaneofibular Ligament Using a Triangle-Shaped Tendon Graft (ALC-Triangle).

Project description:The lateral talocalcaneal ligament (LTCL) connects the talus and calcaneus on the lateral side of the hindfoot. Although its function remains has not yet been clearly elucidated, the LTCL is thought to be important for the stabilization of the subtalar joint. Ankle sprains often include not only the talocrural joint but also the subtalar joint; therefore, LTCL injuries occur at a certain rate. Moreover, surgeons often encounter and reluctantly dissect the LTCL during arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) reconstruction because the LTCL connects to the ATFL at the talus in 42% of people and connects to the CFL at the calcaneus in 18% of people. As a result, LTCL reconstruction might be necessary for those patients. We describe the arthroscopic reconstruction technique of the ATFL, LTCL, and CFL using a triangle-shaped tendon graft (ALC-triangle). This technique provides a possible advantage of an anatomical and stable talocrural joint and subtalar joint.

Anatomical Arthroscopic Anterior Talofibular Ligament and Calcaneofibular Ligament Reconstruction Using an Autogenic Hamstring Tendon: Safe Creation of Anatomical Fibular Tunnel.

Project description:Ankle sprains are the most common lower extremity injuries associated with sports activity. Although ligament repair techniques are popular, reconstruction methods using free tendons are considered when the ligament remnant is insufficiently strong, when high-demand athletes sustain repeat ankle sprains, or in revision cases after repair. Recently, some arthroscopic reconstruction techniques have been reported. The distal fibular end is thin; therefore, surgeons must be careful while drilling the fibular tunnel. This report indicates the safe creation method of an anatomical fibular tunnel during anatomical arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament. This also provides a stronger reconstruction using a 2-strand tendon graft for the anterior talofibular ligament substitute, which is thought to have less risk for postoperative graft failure.

Arthroscopic Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Suture Augmentation.

Project description:Historically, poor results of open primary repair of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been reported. In hindsight, however, appropriate patient selection (i.e. proximal tears and good tissue quality) was not performed, because it has recently been recognized that good outcomes of primary ACL repair are possible when selectively performed in patients with proximal tears and good tissue quality. Moreover, with modern-day advances, arthroscopic primary repair can be an excellent treatment option for patients with proximal tears. Preserving the native ACL has several advantages, including maintaining native proprioceptive function and biology. The procedure is also minimally invasive and prevents the need for formal ACL reconstruction. Recently, it has been suggested that additional suture augmentation of the primary repair technique may be beneficial for protecting ligament healing during early range of motion. In this Technical Note, we present the surgical technique of arthroscopic primary repair with suture augmentation for patients with proximal ACL tears.
