Arthroscopic Fixation of Os Acetabuli Technique: When to Resect and When to Fix.

ABSTRACT: Acetabular rim fractures, or os acetabuli, are hypothesized to occur as a result of an unfused ossification center or a stress fracture from repetitive impingement of an abnormally shaped femoral neck against the acetabular rim. When treated surgically, these fragments are typically excised as part of the correction for femoroacetabular impingement. However, in some patients, removal of these fragments can create symptoms of gross instability or microinstability of the hip. In these cases, internal fixation of the fragment is necessary. The purpose of this technical note is to describe indications, the arthroscopic technique, and postoperative care for fixation of acetabular rim fractures.

Screw Fixation of Os Acetabuli: An Arthroscopic Technique.

Project description:An os acetabuli (OA) increases the contact area and surface area of the acetabulum and is important to maintain congruity of the hip joint. Thus preservation of this ossicle is important to prevent loss of contact area and ensure containment of the femoral head. We describe an all-arthroscopic approach to the fixation of OA with a compression screw. Initially, the fibrous tissue is debrided between the acetabular rim and the OA, a guidewire is placed through the OA up to the acetabular rim, and a screw is inserted over the wire. Compression of the OA is achieved with bone-to-bone contact. This technique prevents loss of femoral head coverage, reducing the risk of subluxation and subsequent osteoarthritis.

Arthroscopic Fixation of Os Acetabuli and Labral Repair: Suture-on-Screw Technique.

Project description:Os acetabuli is thought to be the result of an unfused ossification center or an acetabular rim fracture in the setting of femoral-sided femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Historically, patients with symptomatic hips have been treated with resection alone; however, in patients with large bone fragments or with reduced acetabular coverage prior to surgical intervention, iatrogenic dysplasia and structural instability may develop after resection. Therefore, for patients with an acetabular os, labral tearing, and cam-type femoroacetabular impingement, internal fixation of the os acetabuli, femoral osteochondroplasty, and labral repair have been described. We propose a "suture-on-screw" arthroscopic technique to simultaneously address both the labral tear and os acetabuli, thereby reducing the number of suture anchors required for labral fixation, leading to an efficient and cost-effective approach for the treatment of these patients.

Arthroscopic Suture Fixation of Os Acetabuli With Absorbable Suture Anchors-A Double-Pulley Technique.

Project description:Os acetabuli is a bone fragment with unknown origin and isolated at the acetabular rim that may be associated with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. If this bone fragment is too large and threatens the stability of the hip joint after resection, fixation would be recommended. However, conventional rigid fixation with metal screws has some disadvantages. We describe an arthroscopic suture fixation of the Os acetabulum with absorbable anchors penetrating the bone fragment and secured by tying knots in a double-pulley fashion simultaneously. This technique provides a new feasible solution for the fixation of Os acetabuli, avoiding any metal implants and potential damage to the joint.

Arthroscopic Screw Fixation Technique for Transverse Glenoid Fractures.

Project description:Transverse glenoid fractures with a cranial coracoglenoidal fragment (Ideberg type III) can lead to detrimental post-traumatic sequelae. Open surgery requires an extensive surgical approach. Arthroscopic procedures are highly challenging with respect to both fracture reduction and screw osteosynthesis. We present a reproducible arthroscopic technique for a dislocated transverse glenoid fracture using 5 standard portals. Grasping the coracoid with a small, serrated reduction clamp through the anterior portal allows simple and sufficient reduction. Safe screw osteosynthesis can then be performed from cranially without the need to create a Neviaser portal.

Suture-on-Screw Technique for Os Acetabuli Fixation and Labral Repair.

Project description:The os acetabuli is thought to arise from unfused secondary ossification centers or as rim fractures in the setting of dysplastic hips or hips with femoroacetabular impingement. Resection of a large os acetabuli can lead to structural instability of the joint, and in these cases, osteoplasty of the impingement, reduction and internal fixation of the osseous fragment, and labral repair have been described in the literature. Anchor fixation for labral repair in the surrounding zone of the osteosynthesis might bring some technical problems. We aim to describe a technical modification improving labral lesion treatment while addressing the rim fracture. The addition of a suture to the screw addresses both lesions because it simultaneously has the function of a screw and an anchor. A suture-on-screw technique for os acetabuli fixation helps surgeons to gain versatility and is more cost-effective for the patients and health services.

Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Fixation Technique Using Multiple All-Suture Anchors.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common injury, particularly among active young individuals. Numerous surgical procedures for treating acute, high-grade AC joint dislocation have been reported. However, no standard surgical procedure that restores the normal kinematics of the AC joint is available. Among the available coracoclavicular (CC) fixation techniques, cortical button fixation was recently introduced, and it has had successful outcomes. Moreover, it is advantageous because it can be used in arthroscopic procedures. However, because of the limited number of fixation tools, a fundamental problem in terms of horizontal instability and gradual subsidence of cortical buttons has been observed, eventually leading to a threat to vertical stability. Therefore, we developed a unique CC fixation technique with multiple small tunnels using all-suture anchors, which may overcome potential complications caused by cortical buttons that require bone tunnels with relatively large diameters. This arthroscopic CC fixation technique was designed to achieve the ideal horizontal and vertical stability that may restore native AC kinematics.

Arthroscopic Internal Fixation of Coracoid Fractures: Surgical Technique Guide.

Project description:Fractures of the coracoid process are uncommon injuries and are usually the result of high-energy trauma or avulsion-type injuries. Typically coracoid fractures treated with nonoperative management have yielded good results. Operative treatment of coracoid fractures is reserved for a subset of clinical situations, including fracture nonunion. We detail our technique for arthroscopic debridement of a Type II coracoid fracture nonunion, as well as the use of arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation for a Type II coracoid fracture.

Arthroscopic Acromioclavicular Fixation With Suture Tape Augmentation After Coracoclavicular Fixation With Dog Bone Button: Surgical Technique.

Project description:An arthroscopic technique for the surgical treatment of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries is presented in this study. This procedure aims to achieve both vertical and horizontal stability through the healing of both coracoclavicular (CC) and AC ligaments. As a routine maneuver, arthroscopic CC stabilization was applied using the dog bone button to obtain only vertical stability. Additional arthroscopic AC joint fixation with suture tape augmentation is simple and easy and provides a safe technique to achieve horizontal stability of the joint and to increase the vertical stability to minimize the complications of standard CC reconstruction techniques.
