Open Repair of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Femoral Peel-Off Lesion in Multiligamentous Knee Injuries Results in Good Outcomes

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) peel-off lesions, to separate these lesions from more common midsubstance tears, and to evaluate patient outcomes after primary open repair.

Methods

Patients with acute femoral-side “peel off”–type lesions associated with multiligamentous injuries who underwent PCL repair were identified. Patients with chronic PCL injuries, midsubstance PCL tears, or PCL tibial avulsions were excluded from the study. A total of 11 patients were included in this study. All patients underwent open repair using a suture pullout technique.

Results

The mean follow-up period was 18 months. The mean Lysholm score at 12 months was 87. Mean knee range of motion (flexion) achieved at 12 months was 121°. No patient had grade 3 laxity on posterior stress testing at final follow-up.

Conclusions

Our study showed good outcomes after primary repair of femoral PCL peel-off lesions.

Level of Evidence

Level IV, therapeutic case series.

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.

Suture Augmentation: An Alternative to Reconstruction for Incomplete Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in the Multiple Ligament-Injured Knee.

Project description:Treatment of posterior cruciate ligament injuries remains controversial, particularly in the case of partial or incomplete tears in the context of a multiple ligament-injured knee. Suture augmentation, or internal bracing, has been shown in other ligament and tendon repairs or reconstructions to provide stable biomechanics and facilitate early return to activity. In the knee, suture augmentation has previously been used for the treatment of medial collateral ligament tears and in the support of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. We describe our arthroscopic technique for suture augmentation of incomplete posterior cruciate ligament injuries.

Simultaneous Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Posterior Cruciate Ligament, Posteromedial Corner, and Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction of the Knee.

Project description:Concomitant injuries of the 4 groups of ligaments of the knee are a serious condition and challenge the orthopaedic surgeon when reconstruction of all ligaments is needed. Staged reconstruction can be chosen owing to the complexity of the combined procedures; however, simultaneous reconstruction is favored to facilitate recovery. We describe a simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), posteromedial corner (PMC), and posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction technique, in which autografts are used and both cruciate ligaments are reconstructed in a single-bundle manner. We believe the introduction of this technique will familiarize surgeons with the principle of simultaneous 4-ligament reconstruction of the knee and the method of cruciate ligament balancing during bicruciate ligament reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Confirmation of Femoral Button Deployment During Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) ruptures are uncommonly seen in knee ligament injuries. Cconservative treatment is often suitable for isolated tears with mild-to-moderate posterior knee laxity (grades I or II). However, surgical intervention is indicated for symptomatic grade III or multiligament knee injuries. PCL reconstruction has experienced continuous development due to the progress made in arthroscopic techniques and instruments. Abnormal positioning and tensioning of the femoral button result in multiple complications such as residual laxity, loss of quadriceps muscle strength, and joint stiffness. In this Technical Note, we describe direct arthroscopic visualization of the femoral button deployment in PCL reconstruction technique, and we discuss its importance to prevent complications related to button malposition.

Epidemiology of surgically treated posterior cruciate ligament injuries in Scandinavia.

Project description:The main purpose of the study was to provide an overview of injury mechanisms, concomitant injuries, and other relevant epidemiological data for patients treated in Scandinavia with posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) following a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury.A total number of 1287 patients who underwent PCLR from 2004 to 2013 in the Scandinavian counties were included from the national ligament registries. The variables such as age, sex, activity, and graft used for reconstruction were collected. Then, injuries were sorted based on concomitant injuries. Finally, data from the different registries were compared.Average age of the treated patients was 32.7 years. Sex distribution ratio of male to female was 858:429 (66.7 %:33.3 %). Depending on definition, 26-37 % of the injuries treated were isolated PCL injuries. PCL injuries were most commonly encountered in sports with 35.4 % of the total number of PCL injuries in the study population. Soccer was the sport with the highest number of injuries (13.1 %). Cartilage lesions occurred in 26.1 % of PCL injuries and meniscal lesions in 21.0 %. Minimum one other additional ligament was injured in 62.2 %.Isolated PCL injuries are common, although the injury is most commonly associated with other ligament injuries. There is a high prevalence of cartilage injuries and meniscal lesions associated with PCL injuries. Sports are the leading cause of PCL injuries treated operatively. Epidemiological data are a necessary part of the basis for injury prevention in the future. The prevalence of concomitant injuries is also relevant and clinically important for the choice of surgical procedure and for the expected outcomes following surgery.II.

Arthroscopic Repair of Proximal Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Pediatric Patients.

Project description:A renewed interest in arthroscopic knee ligament repair is emerging as a result of diagnostic and technical improvements. In pediatric patients with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury, surgical reconstruction is rarely considered as an option because of the risk of iatrogenic physeal injury. In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopic surgical repair technique of PCL proximal avulsions in pediatric patients. The main reasons to consider arthroscopic PCL repair in this population include minimal surgical morbidity, preservation of the complex biomechanical properties of the native ligament, the small diameter of the bone tunnels, the physeal respecting nature of the procedure, the absence of graft harvesting, and the absence of fixation devices. The indications for this technique are limited to patients with an acute proximal PCL avulsion. Investigation performed from at Centre Orthopédique Santy, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Lyon, France.

Posterior cruciate ligament removal contributes to abnormal knee motion during posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.

Project description:Abnormal anterior translation of the femur on the tibia has been observed in mid flexion (20-60 degrees ) following posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty. The underlying biomechanical causes of this abnormal motion remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to isolate the effects of posterior cruciate ligament removal on knee motion after total knee arthroplasty. We posed two questions: Does removing the posterior cruciate ligament introduce abnormal anterior femoral translation? Does implanting a posterior stabilized prosthesis change the kinematics from the cruciate deficient case? Using a navigation system, we measured passive knee kinematics of ten male osteoarthritic patients during surgery after initial exposure, after removing the anterior cruciate ligament, after removing the posterior cruciate ligament, and after implanting the prosthesis. Passively flexing and extending the knee, we calculated anterior femoral translation and the flexion angle at which femoral rollback began. Removing the posterior cruciate ligament doubled anterior translation (from 5.1 +/- 4.3 mm to 10.4 +/- 5.1 mm) and increased the flexion angle at which femoral rollback began (from 31.2 +/- 9.6 degrees to 49.3 +/- 7.3 degrees). Implanting the prosthesis increased the amount of anterior translation (to 16.1 +/- 4.4 mm), and did not change the flexion angle at which femoral rollback began. Abnormal anterior translation was observed in low and mid flexion (0-60 degrees) after removing the posterior cruciate ligament, and normal motion was not restored by the posterior stabilized prosthesis.

All-Autograft Multiligament Knee Reconstruction of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament, Anterior Cruciate Ligament, and Posterolateral Corner (KD-IIIL).

Project description:Multiligament knee reconstruction constitutes a challenging entity. While allograft use gained popularity in this scenario because it can reduce surgery time and the risk of donor-site morbidities, in some places high-quality allografts are not readily available. In addition, allografts are subjected to some disadvantages compared with autografts, including slower biological incorporation and risk of disease transmission. Choosing and using wisely autografts to address these cases becomes valuable for these reasons. In this manuscript a technique is described for performing all-autograft multiligament knee reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner.

Combined Posterior Cruciate Ligament and Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Knee Reconstruction: Avoiding Tunnel Convergence.

Project description:Combined posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries represent a complex pathology that requires a thorough clinical and radiographic examination to diagnose and identify all injured structures. Anatomic reconstruction of the injured ligaments is recommended, including double-bundle PCL reconstruction and superficial MCL augmentation. In the setting of this complex reconstruction, several technical aspects require consideration and preoperative planning, including the risk of femoral tunnel convergence on the medial aspect of the femoral condyle. This article details our technique for combined anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction and superficial MCL augmentation to avoid tunnel convergence. Level I (knee); level II (PCL).

Elongation Patterns of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament after Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Project description:This study aimed to understand the ability of fixed-bearing posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-retaining implants to maintain functionality of the PCL in vivo. To achieve this, elongation of the PCL was examined in six subjects with good clinical and functional outcomes using 3D kinematics reconstructed from video-fluoroscopy, together with multibody modelling of the knee. Here, length-change patterns of the ligament bundles were tracked throughout complete cycles of level walking and stair descent. Throughout both activities, elongation of the anterolateral bundle exhibited a flexion-dependent pattern with more stretching during swing than stance phase (e.g., at 40° flexion, anterolateral bundle experienced 3.9% strain during stance and 9.1% during swing phase of stair descent). The posteromedial bundle remained shorter than its reference length (defined at heel strike of the level gait cycle) during both activities. Compared with loading patterns of the healthy ligament, postoperative elongation patterns indicate a slackening of the ligament at early flexion followed by peak ligament lengths at considerably smaller flexion angles. The reported data provide a novel insight into in vivo PCL function during activities of daily living that has not been captured previously. The findings support previous investigations reporting difficulties in achieving a balanced tension in the retained PCL.
