Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow.

ABSTRACT: Reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is the primary treatment for recurrent symptomatic posterolateral rotatory instability. Although a number of lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction techniques have been described, the docking technique has received general acceptance. In this technique, the graft is passed through a tunnel on the ulnar side and the 2 free limbs are docked into the humerus at the isometric point on the lateral condyle. Advantages of this method of reconstruction include reduced bone removal, decreased soft tissue damage, and precise control of graft tensioning. When precise surgical steps are followed, this technique can be performed in a reliable, efficient, and reproducible manner for patients with posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow.

Anconeus-Sparing Minimally Invasive Approach for Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Posterolateral Elbow Instability.

Project description:Posterolateral elbow instability with an insufficiency of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament commonly results from elbow trauma. However, other etiologies such as iatrogenic injuries after primary surgical treatment for lateral epicondylitis or repetitive corticosteroid injections also may lead to a lateral ulnar collateral ligament insufficiency. In these cases, surgical treatment can help to restore posterolateral stability of the elbow. Besides the stabilizing effect of the ligamentous structures, the anconeus muscle is the most import active stabilizer against posterolateral elbow instability. Therefore, the aim of the present technique is to present an anconeus-sparing, minimally invasive approach to restore posterolateral stability. This technique may serve as an alternative for typically used all open access.

Arthroscopic Lateral Collateral Ligament Complex Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow, the Operative Technique.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability is concerning pathology in patients with recalcitrant lateral elbow pain. An arthroscopic technique can be used to perform reconstruction of lateral collateral ligament for eradicating the instability and also to manage concomitant lesions in a simultaneous operation. Similar to the modified Brostrӧm procedure using an inferior extensor retinaculum to augment the lateral collateral ligament for lateral ankle instability, in our Technical Note, we use anconeus muscles and annular ligament to augment the lateral collateral ligament for elbow instability during the reconstruction, allowing all tissue to heal with the bone by using a knotless technique.

Arthroscopic Reinsertion of Lateral Collateral Ligament, Anterior Capsular Plication, and Coronoid Tunneling Technique for Chronic Elbow Posterolateral Rotatory Instability.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow is a chronic condition that results from lateral collateral ligament complex injury and presents with pain, clicking, and subluxation within the flexion and extension arcs of elbow motion. The primary cause involves a lesion of the lateral collateral ligament complex and its avulsion from the lateral epicondyle. In most cases, it is the result of trauma such as a fall on an outstretched hand or any other mechanism that imparts axial compression, valgus force, and supination. Several surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of PLRI, but there is no consensus regarding the ideal surgical treatment. The advantages of an arthroscopic approach for the treatment of PLRI are first diagnostic. Arthroscopy allows for visualization and diagnosis of every compartment of the elbow. The main steps of the surgical procedure consist of reinsertion of the lateral collateral ligament, anterior capsular plication, and coronoid tunneling. By use of this technique, it is possible to perform an anatomic repair and provide stability of the elbow.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Elbow: The Docking Technique.

Project description:Reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in overhead throwing athletes. Since its initial description, the procedure has undergone a number of technical modifications and advancements. This has resulted in multiple described techniques for UCL reconstruction. One of the most commonly performed UCL reconstruction methods is the docking technique. It has the advantages of minimizing injury to the flexor-pronator mass, avoiding the ulnar nerve, allowing robust graft tensioning, and reducing the amount of bone removed from the medial epicondyle compared with previously described techniques. This article provides a detailed description and video demonstration of how to perform this technique. When precise surgical steps are followed and postoperative rehabilitation appropriately progresses, this procedure has a well-documented history of reliably returning athletes to competitive throwing.

Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Shoelace Repair with Internal Bracing for Treating Throwing Athletes Who Have Ulnar Collateral Ligament Instability.

Project description:This Technical Note aimed to present a surgical technique of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) shoelace repair using suture anchors and double suture tapes in combination with internal bracing to correct UCL instability along with epiphyseal avulsion of the medial epicondyle in throwing athletes Skeletally immature throwing athletes playing baseball and softball are at a risk of sustaining medial epicondyle epiphyseal separation that can result in UCL instability, predisposing to elbow UCL disruption later. There are several surgical techniques that can restore elbow UCL function and stability. In cases where large fragments of the medial epicondyle are present in skeletally immature athletes, the residual bony fragment and the shortened, chronically injured UCL make surgical treatment quite challenging. Recent studies have shown that UCL repair with internal bracing can effectively treat acute UCL injury. However, this procedure is not ideal for restoring large disruption of the UCL such as fragmentation. Here, we present a surgical technique of UCL shoelace repair using suture anchors with double suture tapes in combination with internal bracing for correcting UCL instability concurrent with epiphyseal fragmentation of medial epicondyle in throwing athletes.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Elbow With Double Suspensory Fixation.

Project description:Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction of the elbow has evolved substantially since its introduction in 1974. Numerous variations of the surgery have been introduced, including modifications in tunnel creation, graft tensioning, and fixation. These changes have aimed to improve overall quality of the reconstruction; however, even the most commonly used techniques still present many challenges. We describe a technique for ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction using bisuspensory button fixation and a single tunnel on both the ulnar and humeral sides. This technique avoids many of the most common complications and methods of failure of UCL reconstruction, provides immediate strong graft fixation, and offers the surgeon a technically less demanding procedure.

Arthroscopic Diagnosis of Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most common form of symptomatic acute and chronic elbow instability. Diagnosis is usually made using a combination of clinical tests and imaging modalities; however, in more subtle forms of instability, these measures may be equivocal. Arthroscopy is a valuable adjunct for diagnosis and treatment of PLRI. It allows direct appreciation of the instability process, quantification of the degree of instability, and identification of concurrent associated pathology. The aim of this technique article is to report a series of reproducible arthroscopic tests used for diagnosis of PLRI with examples of normal and pathologic arthroscopic findings.

Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a 4-Strand Docking Plus Technique.

Project description:The "Docking Plus" technique for elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) surgery is described in the following text and video. Depite the general success of UCL surgery, significant rates of retear and failure of return to competition persist. Hypothesized reasons for UCL surgery failure include insufficient graft strength (midsubstance tears), insufficient graft tensioning (functional UCL insufficiency, valgus extension overload), and insufficient healing of graft to bone (proximal avulsions). This technique is meant to incorporate the best aspects of the previously described techniques for UCL reconstruction to create a larger, stronger, better-tensioned graft with a larger healing surface area to bone, a lower retear rate, and a lower risk of complications. The Docking Plus technique has been used since 2012.

Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow: Part I. Mechanism of Injury and the Posterolateral Rotatory Drawer Test.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most commonly encountered pattern of elbow instability. It is the result of disruption of the lateral collateral ligament complex leading to a posterolateral rotatory subluxation of the ulna and radial head. A number of examination maneuvers have been described to assist in clinical identification of PLRI. Despite this, some inconsistency in the description of these techniques remains in the orthopaedic literature. This Technical Note details the mechanism of injury and patient presentation, and emphasizes the primacy of the posterolateral rotatory drawer test in the assessment of PLRI while providing video instruction on how it should be performed.

Arthroscopic Repair of the Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament of the Elbow Using a Knotless Suture Anchor.

Project description:The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) complex of the elbow plays a crucial role in the stability of the elbow joint, especially to varus loads. Deficiency of particularly the lateral ulnar collateral component of the LCL can lead to chronic posterolateral rotatory instability, which can be functionally debilitating and can lead to a rapid onset of early degenerative arthritis. Commonly, in the setting of acute rupture of the LCL, the ligament is repaired using an open technique with suture anchor fixation to the lateral epicondyle insertion point. However, with advancing arthroscopic techniques, it has become possible to repair the LCL arthroscopically. We present a relatively simple method for an all-arthroscopic repair of the LCL to the humerus using a knotless suture anchor technique.
