Anterior Reconstruction of C2-C3 Bodies in a 6-Year-Old Patient with a Huge Osteoblastoma: A Novel Technique.

ABSTRACT: Study Design Case report. Objective We report the youngest child diagnosed with upper cervical osteoblastoma and the first case operated on with our novel surgical approach. Methods Our patient underwent a two-stage surgery. During the first operation via a posterior approach, a subtotal resection of a C2 bony mass was performed. C3 was also subtotally resected due to tumor extension. Posterior fixation of C1-C5 was performed by C1 sublaminar hooks and C4 and C5 lateral mass screws. Ten days later, a total resection of the residual bony mass was performed through an anterior approach (between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and carotid sheath). Reconstruction of C1-C3 was performed with C1 anterior sublaminar wiring and an expandable titanium cage. Results Successful reconstruction of C2-C3 vertebral bodies was achieved. At 2-year follow-up, the child was symptom-free. Imaging studies revealed no recurrence of tumor or instability. Conclusion A novel technique for reconstruction of C2-C3 vertebral bodies is demonstrated for the youngest case (a 6-year-old boy) of osteoblastoma in the literature. We recommend this approach for cervical spine reconstruction in patients who have an intact C1 arc and resected lower bodies.

Endovascular IVC Reconstruction in an 18 Year Old Patient with Subtotal IVC Atresia.

Project description:IntroductionInferior vena cava (IVC) atresia is an uncommon venous anomaly that is an under recognised cause of unprovoked acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in young adults. The purpose of this case report is to highlight endovascular IVC reconstruction as a feasible treatment option, particularly in challenging cases when other therapeutic modalities have failed.ReportThis is the report of an 18 year old patient with near complete IVC atresia and a longstanding history of exertional nausea of unknown aetiology, who presented with extensive acute DVT. He was treated successfully by endovascular IVC reconstruction after failing initial anticoagulation and thrombolysis. Symptom resolution and venous patency were maintained at 2.5 year follow up.DiscussionIVC atresia is an important aetiology to consider in a young patient presenting with unprovoked DVT. Endovascular stenting can restore venous patency and is feasible even when there is near complete IVC atresia. This case was uniquely challenging in the length of atretic IVC that was reconstructed and also highlights an atypical clinical presentation of IVC atresia.

Hamstring Braid Graft Technique for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Hamstring autograft is one of the most used grafts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, although there are several graft preparation techniques. It is extremely difficult to mimic the biomechanical properties of the native ACL; thus, it is important to achieve a proper graft configuration, diameter, and length. To avoid reruptures, an optimal and reproducible hamstring autograft is desired. Hamstring autograft has been traditionally devalued when compared with other options such as bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail a hamstring braid graft configuration that could potentially overcome the past disadvantages of ACL reconstruction.

Remnant-Preserving Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Remnant Envelope Technique.

Project description:The awareness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and their treatment is increasing among athletes and within the general population, so patients report early to orthopaedic surgeons. Because we encounter a thick ACL stump during arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, an attempt is made to preserve this stump. Remnant preservation-although promising in terms of graft healing because it enhances cell proliferation, revascularization, and regeneration of the proprioceptive organs in the reconstructed ACL-does not come without complications, such as cyclops lesions, impingement, and extension loss. These problems can be detrimental to an athlete's return to his or her preinjury level after ACL reconstruction. Therefore, we describe a technique in which the ACL is reconstructed using hamstring autograft and suture passes are made through the remnant with an antegrade suture-passing device. After anatomic tunnel drilling, the remnant is tensioned, along with the reconstructed ACL, at the femoral end without the use of an extra implant. Femoral-side fixation is achieved with an adjustable-loop button (Procinch; Stryker) and a bio-composite interference screw (Biosure Regenesorb; Smith & Nephew) on the tibial end. As the sutured remnant is tensioned and knots are made over the button, the remnant envelopes the graft in the orientation of the native ACL, which can be helpful for early and better ligamentization of the graft. The potential advantages of this technique are as follows: orientation of the remnant along the collagen of the ACL graft; no loose ACL stump in the notch, thus preventing cyclops lesions; retention of the proprioceptive organs in the ligament; and no extra implant.

Anterior Capsule Reconstruction Technique With an Acellular Dermal Allograft.

Project description:An irreparable subscapularis may have a debilitating influence on glenohumeral joint biomechanics. Traditional treatment approaches are focused on tendon transfers, among which the most popular are pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi transfers. However, these techniques present significant retear rates, possible nerve injuries, and altered biomechanics. Other techniques like tibialis anterior or iliotibial autograft grafting also have many reported failures. We describe an all-arthroscopic anterior capsule reconstruction technique with an acellular dermal graft.

A new anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction fixation technique (quadrupled semitendinosus anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with polyetheretherketone cage fixation).

Project description:Fixation of the graft during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery has been the subject of numerous technical innovations but still remains a challenge. This article describes a novel technique of graft fixation for hamstring tendon reconstruction: the Cage For One system (Sacimex, Aix-en-Provence, France). The technique uses only the semitendinosus tendon, which is looped to create a 4-strand graft. Leaving the gracilis tendon intact probably reduces the loss of knee flexion strength. The graft is indirectly anchored into both tunnels with polyetheretherketone cages by use of polyethylene terephthalate tape strips. Both cages and strips are magnetic resonance imaging compatible and do not create artifacts. The tunnels are drilled by an outside-in method with minimal incisions. This type of fixation creates a 360° bone contact at 1.5 cm in each tunnel and is compatible with double-bundle reconstruction. This easy-to-use novel technique of fixation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction produces a strong 4-strand graft while harvesting only the semitendinosus tendon and leaving the gracilis tendon intact to reduce flexion strength loss and preserve rotatory stability of the knee. It creates an immediate solid fixation that is independent of graft integration in the early postoperative period, allowing the patient to start immediate rehabilitation without the use of a brace.

Anterior Capsule Reconstruction of the Native Hip: A Technique Guide.

Project description:This is a technique guide for open anterior capsule reconstruction in unstable native hips due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a connective tissue disease that predisposes an individual to hypermobility of their soft tissues and recurrent subluxations and dislocations of their joints. This may lead to constant instability, guarding of the hip, and subsequent arthritic changes and poor quality of life. We demonstrate anterior capsule reconstruction of the hip using an Achilles tendon allograft performed through a direct anterior approach to the hip (Heuter's approach). This technique guide outlines in detail the surgical steps required to accomplish this reconstructive procedure. Furthermore, a narrated surgical video is provided that clearly depicts the anticipated result of the increased constrained provided to the hip from the anterior capsule reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft.

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.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape Augmentation: A Surgical Technique.

Project description:The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most common ligamentous knee injury and often is encountered in those participating in multidirectional sports. ACL reconstruction is the most commonly performed knee ligament reconstruction and employs a variety of surgical techniques but still is challenged by residual laxity and graft rupture. To help address and prevent future ACL failures, new repair and reconstruction techniques have been employed that incorporate suture augmentation (InternalBrace; Arthrex, Naples, FL), which protects the graft during healing and ligamentization. Our goal of this article is to provide a surgical technique of suture augmentation with ACL reconstruction.
