Description of the attachment geometry of the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of the ACL from arthroscopic perspective for anatomical tunnel placement.

ABSTRACT: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) consists of an anteromedial bundle (AMB) and a posterolateral bundle (PLB). A reconstruction restoring the functional two-bundled nature should be able to approximate normal ACL function better than the most commonly used single-bundle reconstructions. Accurate tunnel positioning is important, but difficult. The purpose of this study was to provide a geometric description of the centre of the attachments relative to arthroscopically visible landmarks. The AMB and PLB attachment sites in 35 dissected cadaver knees were measured with a 3D system, as were anatomical landmarks of femur and tibia. At the femur, the mean ACL centre is positioned 7.9 +/- 1.4 mm (mean +/- 1 SD) shallow, along the notch roof, from the most lateral over-the-top position at the posterior edge of the intercondylar notch and from that point 4.0 +/- 1.3 mm from the notch roof, low on the surface of the lateral condyle wall. The mean AMB centre is at 7.2 +/- 1.8 and 1.4 +/- 1.7 mm, and the mean PLB centre at 8.8 +/- 1.6 and 6.7 +/- 2.0 mm. At the tibia, the mean ACL centre is positioned 5.1 +/- 1.7 mm lateral of the medial tibial spine and from that point 9.8 +/- 2.1 mm anterior. The mean AMB centre is at 3.0 +/- 1.6 and 9.4 +/- 2.2 mm, and the mean PLB centre at 7.2 +/- 1.8 and 10.1 +/- 2.1 mm. The ACL attachment geometry is well defined relative to arthroscopically visible landmarks with respect to the AMB and PLB. With simple guidelines for the surgeon, the attachments centres can be found during arthroscopic single-bundle or double-bundle reconstructions.

Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction After Failed ACL Repair.

Project description:For some authors, repair of the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in selected patients can be considered a valuable surgical treatment option. One of the main advantages is that it leaves all grafts available for any type of reconstruction in case the repair fails. This Technical Note describes arthroscopic ACL reconstruction after failure of an ACL repair.

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.

A Surgical Technique for Posterolateral Placement of Interference Screw Accurately in Tibial Tunnel in Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Anatomic orientation of the graft in anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the key to improved knee stability, restoration of normal knee kinematics, and the prevention of long-term joint degeneration. The graft position and orientation in the joint depend on the position of the tibial and femoral tunnels. Graft displacement in the tibial tunnel due to the position of the interference screw when the screw has proximal fixation also has an effect on the orientation of the graft. We have developed a technique for adjusting guidewire placement for the interference screw posterolaterally in the tibial tunnel in anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This technique helps to push the graft medially and anteriorly in the tibial tunnel, avoids impingement of the graft with the lateral femoral condyle, and helps to maintain the orientation of the graft in a more anatomic way.

Arthroscopic Identification of the Knee Posterolateral Corner Structures and Anatomic Arthroscopic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction: Technical Note - Part 2.

Project description:Posterolateral corner injuries are complex injuries, and their therapeutic management varies from one individual to another. Biomechanical studies demonstrate that anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction restores knee kinematics better than nonanatomic reconstruction. The purpose of this report is to describe an all-arthroscopic procedure for anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Identification of the Knee Posterolateral Corner Structures and Anatomic Arthroscopic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction: Technical Note - Part 1.

Project description:Arthroscopic assessment of posterior compartments of the knee and the posterior aspect of the proximal tibial and fibula is challenging because of the relative proximity of the neurovascular bundle. This Technical Note describes a reproducible arthroscopic surgical approach in a cadaveric model that aims to identify and expose the popliteus tendon, posterior fibular head, fibular collateral ligament popliteal fibular ligament, biceps femoris tendon, and peroneal nerve.

Arthroscopic Posterolateral Corner Stabilization With Popliteus Tenodesis.

Project description:The injuries of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee often remain misdiagnosed. Because most structures in this anatomical region have low potential to heal, the posterolateral rotational instability results in a deterioration in patient quality of life, impaired biomechanics of the knee, and increased tension on other ligaments and the meniscus. Many open and a few arthroscopic techniques have been developed to repair or reconstruct the damaged structures of the PLC. Creating an additional midlateral arthroscopic portal on the lateral side of the knee was the key to developing the technique to recreate a static stabilizer against external rotational instability of the PLC by fixing the popliteus tendon as a native, vascularized material to the tibia.

Anatomical Description and Technical Considerations of the Portal of Willingboro for All-Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:The portal of Willingboro is a unique portal designed as a means of all arthroscopic biceps tenodesis for biceps tendinopathy. The portal allows for tenodesis to be efficiently and effectively performed in the subgroove space with low technical demand. This Technical Note provides detailed descriptions of the anatomical structures and standard shoulder arthroscopy portals relevant to the location of the portal of Willingboro. The structures discussed include the standard anterior, posterior, and lateral shoulder arthroscopy portals along with the axillary and musculocutaneous nerves, subscapularis and pectoralis major tendons, axillary artery, and major bony anatomic landmarks of the shoulder region. These descriptions may be used as a guideline or reference for safe creation of the portal of Willingboro.

Minimally Invasive, Arthroscopic-Assisted, Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction.

Project description:As the anatomy and biomechanics of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee have become better understood, the importance of the PLC's proper function has become a more frequently raised subject. Misdiagnosed chronic posterolateral instability may lead to serious consequences, including cruciate ligament reconstruction graft failure. It has been proved that high-grade PLC injuries need to be treated operatively. Surgical approaches vary, and techniques are still developing. Considering avoidance of an extended surgical approach and minimizing the risk of common peroneal nerve or popliteal artery injuries, we developed the minimally invasive, arthroscopic-assisted, anatomic PLC reconstruction.

Intraoperative arthroscopic classification tool for posterolateral elbow instability.

Project description:Introducing and implementing an arthroscopic classification tool for posterolateral elbow instability. Thirty arthroscopies were performed on 30 patients, and all recordings were collected, blinded, and labeled. Three orthopedic surgeons reviewed and scored all 30 recordings three times with a period of at least seven days in between to analyze the intraobserver and interobserver reliability. The classification consisted of five different grades. Indications for elbow arthroscopy included impingement (n = 7), osteochondritis dissecans (n = 5), pain (n = 7), osteoarthritis (n = 6), and other (n = 5). The kappa value for intrarater reliability was 0.71, indicating good reliability, while the kappa value for inter-rater reliability was 0.38 indicating fair reliability. This new classification is a tool for an arthroscopic assessment of PLRI and can be used as a standardized grading system for further research and communication between orthopedic surgeons. We demonstrated good intrarater reliability (k = 0.71) with fair inter-rater reliability (k = 0.38). However, further research is necessary to study the clinical significance.

A Femoral Tunnel View Test During ACL Reconstruction.

Project description:Despite technologic advances in the surgical techniques for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, some patients continue to have violation of the femoral cortex, commonly referred to as wall blowout. These posterior or lateral cortical breaches lead to loss of graft containment and subsequent difficulty with graft fixation. If this intraoperative error is not promptly recognized and treated, the graft is at an increased risk of premature failure. Thus, in these situations, recognizing the complication and knowing strategies for alternative or salvage fixation are of importance. This article details a simple tunnel view test realized during ACL reconstruction that would enable determining the integrity and depth of the femoral tunnel. The femoral tunnel view test is a technically straightforward and quick test able to obtain a superior view of patient anatomy to facilitate accurate tunnel integrity evaluation during ACL reconstruction.
