Arthroscopic Management of a Posterior Femoral Condyle (Hoffa) Fracture: Surgical Technique.

ABSTRACT: Unicondylar fractures of the lower end of the femur are uncommon injuries that usually occur in the sagittal plane. A coronal (tangential) plane fracture, first described by Hoffa in 1904, is unusual. It is an intrinsically unstable type of intra-articular fracture that warrants operative fixation, usually by an open technique. A simple method for the treatment of lateral femoral condyle coronal fractures with arthroscopic-assisted reduction and internal fixation by cannulated screws is reported. Managing fractures of the posterior femoral condyle with arthroscopic reduction and fixation with cannulated screws is simple and effective and could be reproducible with good results and a good prognosis.

Arthroscopic Posterior Subtalar Arthrodesis: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Surgical fusion of the subtalar joint is a procedure indicated to alleviate pain of subtalar origin, such as in post-traumatic osteoarthritis, adult-acquired flatfoot deformity, and other disorders. Open subtalar arthrodesis has been performed with predictable results, but concerns exist regarding injury to proprioception and local vascularity due to wide surgical dissection. Minimally invasive techniques try to improve results by avoiding these issues but have a reputation for being technically demanding. We describe the surgical technique for arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis, which has proved to be a safe and reliable technique in our experience, with consistent improvements in American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society scores.

Anterolateral Arthroscopic Posterior Subtalar Arthrodesis: The Surgical Technique.

Project description:The effectiveness of subtalar arthrodesis has been well documented in treating degenerative subtalar joint disease. The arthroscopic subtalar approach for arthrodesis has also been proved to give excellent results in terms of bone fusion rates and reduction of wound-related pain and complications. To date, the main concerns about arthroscopy have regarded incision-related neurologic complications such as lesions of the tibial, fibular, and sural nerves. In this context, we present a 2-portal lateral (anterior and middle) approach to arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis, recently documented in the literature, that provides similar excellent access to the joint with a lower risk of nerve damage.

Arthroscopic Technique for Treating Patella and Femoral Condyle Lesions With DeNovo Natural Tissue Allograft.

Project description:Use of juvenile particulate cartilage allograft has been previously described for the treatment of full-thickness chondral lesions of the knee. Although this procedure has traditionally been performed with an open approach, it can be performed using arthroscopic techniques with the potential for less morbidity and accelerated rehabilitation. This article describes an all-arthroscopic technique for treating patella and femoral condyle lesions with DeNovo Natural Tissue allograft, including clinical indications and a rehabilitation protocol.

Arthroscopic repair of "peel-off" lesion of the posterior cruciate ligament at the femoral condyle.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are uncommon, and most occur in association with other lesions. The treatment of PCL injuries remains controversial; in addition, PCL injuries have been documented to have a propensity to heal. In the literature several different patterns of PCL injury have been described including midsubstance tears/injuries, tibial bony avulsions, femoral bony avulsions, and femoral "peel-off" injuries. A peel-off injury is a complete or incomplete soft-tissue disruption of the PCL at its femoral attachment site without associated bony avulsion. In recent years arthroscopic repair of femoral avulsion and peel-off lesions of the PCL has been reported. In most of these articles, a transosseous repair with sutures passed through 2 bone tunnels into the medial femoral condyle has been described. We present a case of a femoral PCL avulsion in a 20-year-old collegiate football player with an associated medial collateral ligament injury, and we report about a novel technique for PCL repair using 2 No. 2 FiberWire sutures and two 2.9-mm PushLock anchors (Arthrex) to secure tensioning the ligament at its footprint.

Technique for Treatment of Subchondral Compression Fracture of the Lateral Femoral Condyle Associated With ACL Tear.

Project description:Excessive knee pivoting that causes a complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear may result in a subchondral compression fracture on the lateral femoral condyle after impacting the lateral tibial condyle. Because this mechanism is similar to the humeral head that has an impact on the glenoid during an anterior shoulder dislocation, such an osteochondral fracture can be considered equivalent to a "Hill-Sachs lesion of the knee." Restoring the native anatomy of the lateral femoral condyle articular surface is crucial, because its depression alters knee biomechanics, leading to bony knee instability, potentially greatly elevating the risk of ACL reconstruction failure and meniscal tears. In addition, bony knee instability increases the forces acting on the cartilage, which may impair one's quality of life and lead to the development of osteoarthritis. The fact that many patients with complete ACL tears are relatively young emphasizes the key role of osteoarthritis prevention. The aim of this report is to present a minimally invasive procedure to treat the "Hill-Sachs-like" knee lesion, a tricky enemy of knee stability.

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.

Arthroscopic Radioscapholunate Fusion: Surgical Technique.

Project description:The development of radioscapholunar osteoarthritis after a distal radius joint fracture is a challenge, especially when it is addressed to young patients who want to maintain some wrist mobility. Classically, radioscapholunar arthrodesis is performed by an open longitudinal approach of more than 10 cm on the dorsal surface, largely exposing the midcarpal level. Wrist arthroscopy has already shown its effectiveness in preserving joint mobility compared to open procedures. Performing this arthroscopic procedure minimizes the "aggression" of the joint and hypothetically provides better mobility. This article details the surgical technique for performing radioscapholunar arthrodesis arthroscopically.

Hip Arthroscopic Management for Femoral Head Fractures and Posterior Acetabular Wall Fractures (Pipkin Type IV).

Project description:Femoral head fractures associated with acetabular fractures are usually treated by an open method. After a closed reduction of a hip dislocation, open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures usually depend on the type of acetabular fracture. Acetabular fractures associated with femoral head fractures, torn labrums, or osteochondral fractures are often managed simultaneously by a posterior approach. The patient in this study was referred to us because of pain and limited motion after open reduction and internal fixation of an acetabular fracture. Postoperative computed tomography showed remnant osteochondral fragments located in the cotyloid fossa. Using hip arthroscopy, we found a torn labrum and multiple osteochondral fragments in the cotyloid fossa. The avulsed torn labrum was reattached with 2 anchors through the midanterior portal. Osteochondral fragments were curetted and removed. This article reviews the treatment of the torn labrum and multiple fragments after acetabular fracture reduction. The patient recovered immediately and had a satisfactory outcome. We conclude that hip arthroscopy is a valuable option for treating femoral head fracture dislocations associated with acetabular fractures.

Atraumatic Fracture of the Medial Femoral Condyle of a Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Project description:The fracture of the femoral component is a rare complication of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This article presents a case in which a 70-year-old man underwent a left press-fit Advance Medial-Pivot Knee System TKA (MicroPort Orthopedics, Arlington, TN) in 2000. Twenty years later, he experienced a nontraumatic onset of knee pain after standing up from a lunge position. Radiographs and CT scans revealed a complete fracture of the medial condyle of the femoral component. Revision surgery was performed confirming the broken component. A cemented Triathlon Total Stabilizer (Stryker Orthopedics, Kalamazoo, MI) prosthesis was used for the revision. The authors recommend that surgeons maintain a high level of suspicion of component fracture when patients present with persistent severe knee pain and instability after a TKA.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer for Massive Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tears: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Tendon transfer options to reconstruct a massive irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear include latissimus dorsi, teres major, or lower trapezius transfer. We previously described the lower trapezius transfer using a 2-incision approach, which includes a medial incision to harvest the lower trapezius and lateral transacromial incision to expose the rotator cuff and then perform the transfer through a deep tunnel connecting these 2 sites. In this report, we describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique of lower trapezius transfer augmented with an Achilles tendon allograft to reconstruct an irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear.
