Endoscopic Loose Body Removal From Zone 2 Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Sheath.

ABSTRACT: Tenosynovial chondromatosis can occur in the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath. Complete synovectomy and removal of the loose bodies comprise the treatment of choice. An open procedure requires extensive soft-tissue dissection because the flexor hallucis longus tendon is a deep structure except at the hallux. A tendoscopy approach to synovectomy and removal of loose bodies has the advantage of minimally invasive surgery. This technical note outlines pearls and pitfalls and provides a step-by-step guide to performing this procedure.

Endoscopic-Assisted Flexor Hallucis Longus Transfer: Harvest of the Tendon at Zone 2 or Zone 3.

Project description:Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is indicated for reconstruction of the Achilles tendon with a gap larger than 5 cm. The tendon can be harvested at zone 2 or zone 3 by minimally invasive techniques with the advantage of minimal soft-tissue dissection. The tendon can be harvested under the sustentaculum tali by zone 2 FHL tendoscopy. It is adequate for FHL transfer to the posterior calcaneal tubercle. If a double-thickness reconstruction of a huge gap of the Achilles tendon is indicated, the tendon can be harvested at the level of the hallux by means of a tendon stripper. However, the interconnection tendon of the master knot of Henry can be split together with the FHL or flexor digitorum longus tendon instead of being cut. Zone 2 FHL tendoscopy can be used to release the split tendon to complete the FHL harvest.

Endoscopic Tenolysis of Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Flexor hallucis longus tendon release for surgical treatment of functional hallux limitus-associated conditions is described. This release is obtained by arthroscopic correction of the tendon's blockage, which is located at the retrotalar pulley. The procedure restores the ability for dorsiflexion of the first toe in ankle dorsiflexion (positive stretch test result). Such movement was not possible before, causing a modified gait pattern and affecting the biomechanics of the foot and leg. This explains why the procedure creates favorable changes concerning foot dynamics by restoration not only of the normal tendon glide but also of the normal mobility of the subtalar joint.

Endoscopic Removal of Loose Bodies of the Posterior Ankle Extra-articular Space Arising From Flexor Hallucis Longus Tenosynovial Osteochondromatosis.

Project description:Loose bodies of the posterior ankle can occur either at the posterior recess of the ankle or subtalar joint or at the posterior ankle extra-articular space. Loose bodies at the extra-articular space can be a result of tenosynovial chondromatosis of the tendons of the posterior ankle, especially the flexor hallucis longus tendon. Endoscopic removal of loose bodies of the posterior ankle extra-articular space is indicated for symptomatic cases that are not improved by conservative treatment. It is contraindicated if there is active infection at the planned portal sites or the surgeon is not familiar with the technique of posterior ankle endoscopy. Systematic assessment of the different parts of the posterior ankle will minimize the risk of loose body retention.

Flexor pollicis longus zone 2 tendon repair under WALANT with ultrasound assistance.

Project description:A feature of the flexor pollicis longus tendon injury is the frequency of palmar retraction so that a wrist approach is needed for retrieval of the proximal stump. We are reporting on our first outpatient zone T2 flexor pollicis longus tendon repair under WALANT with ultrasound guidance. In the event of zone T2 flexor pollicis rupture, ultrasound location of tendon extremities is used to plan surgical WALANT strategy and to guide the injection of lidocaine with epinephrine whilst limiting the injected volume to what is strictly necessary.

Endoscopic All-inside Repair of the Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon in Posterior Ankle Impingement Patients.

Project description:Longitudinal flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon tears are sometimes complicated by posterior ankle impingement syndrome (PAIS), especially in ballet dancers. In recent years, PAIS has been treated endoscopically, but it is difficult to suture FHL tendon tears endoscopically. In this report, we describe how to suture the FHL tendon endoscopically with the Meniscal Viper Repair system (Arthrex, Naples, FL). Without our endoscopic technique, when a patient is found to have a longitudinal tear of the FHL under endoscopy, we must choose to either neglect the tear or convert to an open repair. Open tendon suture techniques have reportedly had relatively good results but require a longer skin incision than endoscopic surgery for PAIS. Compared with the open repair, the advantages of our technique include earlier recovery, less pain, a lower rate of soft tissue complications, and improved healing through better preservation of the blood supply. This technique is an attractive and useful option because it is an easy and safe method for longitudinal FHL tendon tears.

Endoscopic Adhesiolysis of Flexor Hallucis Longus Muscle.

Project description:Adhesion of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle to the distal tibia can occur after distal tibial fracture, distal fibular fracture, low tibial osteotomy, soft-tissue injury at the posterior ankle, subclinical compartment syndrome of the distal deep posterior compartment of the leg, or Volkmann contracture after deep posterior compartment syndrome of the leg. The purpose of this Technical Note is to report the endoscopic approach of FHL muscle adhesiolysis. It is indicated in patients with symptomatic adhesion of the FHL muscle and contraindicated if there is entrapment of the FHL muscle or tendon in the fracture callus or if there is extensive fibrosis and contracture of the FHL muscle as a result of Volkmann contracture after deep posterior compartment syndrome of the leg.

Arthroscopic Synovectomy for Zone 2 Flexor Hallucis Longus Tenosynovitis.

Project description:Tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus tendon is a condition typically found in ballet dancers and sometimes in soccer players and is related to chronic overuse. It mostly involves the portion of the tendon behind the ankle joint. However, the portion of the tendon under the sustentaculum tali can also be involved. Open synovectomy requires extensive dissection. We report the technique of arthroscopic synovectomy of the deep portion of the flexor hallucis longus.

Zone II Flexor Pollicis Longus Repair: Thumb Flexion and Complications.

Project description:Background: The aim of flexor pollicis longus (FPL) repair is to create a construct that is strong enough to withstand forces encountered during rehabilitation and to achieve an optimal active range of motion. The aim of this study was to: (1) assess factors influencing active thumb interphalangeal (IP) joint flexion; and (2) assess the factors associated with reoperation. Methods: Retrospectively, 104 patients with primary repair of a Zone II FPL laceration from 2000 to 2016 were identified. A medical chart review was performed to collect patient-, injury-, and surgery characteristics as well as the degree of postoperative active IP-flexion and occurrence of reoperation. Bivariate analyses were performed to identify factors influencing active IP-flexion and factors associated with reoperation. Results: The reoperation rate was 17% (n = 18) at a median of 3.4 months (range: 2.3-4.4). Indications for reoperation mainly included adhesion formation (n = 10, 56%) and re-rupture (n = 5, 28%). The median range of active IP-flexion was 30° (interquartile range [IQR]: 20-45) at a median of 12.4 weeks (IQR: 8.1-16.7). Solitary injury to the thumb (β = 17.9, P = .022) and the use of epitendinous suture (β = 10.0, P = .031) were associated with increased active IP-joint flexion. No factors were statistically associated with reoperation. Conclusions: About 1 in 5 patients undergo reoperation following primary repair of a Zone II FPL laceration, mostly within 6 months of initial surgery. The use of epitendinous suture is associated with greater active IP-flexion. Patients with multiple digits injured accompanying a Zone II FPL laceration have inferior IP-joint motion.

Arthroscopic Release of Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Sheath in Female Ballet Dancers: Dynamic Pathology, Surgical Technique, and Return to Dancing Performance.

Project description:Stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon is known as a major overuse lesion in female dancers. We describe arthroscopic surgical techniques in relation to the dynamic pathology of the disease. Crepitus and pain on moving the great toe with the ankle in plantar flexion on preoperative examination confirm the diagnosis of FHL stenosing tenosynovitis even if the os trigonum is not evident. The ankle is approached through standard posterolateral and posteromedial portals. A 4.0-mm-diameter 30° arthroscope is used. Soft tissues around the talus are cleared with a motorized shaver and a radiofrequency device. The posterior aspects of the talus, os trigonum, and FHL tendon surrounded by the tendon sheath are visualized. The dynamic pathology of the FHL tendon is well observed on passive motion of the great toe. The prominent bone fragment of the talus is removed and the tendon sheath is cut with a retrograde knife and a motorized shaver from the superior border down to the entrance of the fibro-osseous tunnel. Arthroscopic release of the FHL tendon sheath is a useful and easy method to directly approach the dynamic pathology of FHL tenosynovitis in female ballet dancers.

Flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon hypoplasia: A case report and literature review.

Project description:An 18-year-old female presented with long-standing inability to flex her left thumb. MRI of the left thumb revealed flexor pollicus longus (FPL) tendon hypoplasia, and subsequent ultrasound of the bilateral thumbs confirmed a left-sided hypoplastic FPL tendon. Structural integrity of the left FPL tendon was confirmed during surgical examination under anesthesia. Multiple congenital anomalies of the FPL have been described, but FPL tendon hypoplasia and its appearance on imaging are rarely reported. This case demonstrates the diagnosis of FPL tendon hypoplasia on MRI, ultrasound, and surgical examination under anesthesia; and demonstrates the importance of including this entity in the differential diagnosis for impaired thumb flexion.
