The "Under, Over" Technique for Repair of a Peripheral Bucket-Handle Meniscus Tear With Circumferential Compression Stitches.

ABSTRACT: The benefits of preserving the meniscus are well-established. Several arthroscopic meniscal repair techniques have been described, such as the inside-out, outside-in, and all-inside. All-inside self-retrieving suture devices can be used to repair vertical, horizontal, and radial tears. However, this technique becomes difficult with large tears, as the jaw of the device cannot reach the peripheral edge of the meniscal tear. We present an all-inside technique using circumferential compression stitches to address large peripheral meniscus tears.

Horizontal Cleavage Meniscus Tear Treated With All-inside Circumferential Compression Stitches.

Project description:Horizontal cleavage meniscus tears are a common orthopedic injury often treated with partial or total meniscectomy versus repair. This Technical Note presents a technique for all-inside repair with uniform compression of the superior and inferior leaflets by placement of multiple circumferential compression stitches using an all-inside self-retrieving suture passing device. The currently described technique provides several advantages for all-inside repair of a horizontal cleavage tear: (1) eliminates the need for a posterior incision, (2) minimizes the risk of neurovascular injury, (3) uses standard arthroscopy portals (or small modifications), and (4) requires only a single suture deployment with a self-retrieving device for each circumferential compression stitch. The resulting circumferential stitch provides uniform compression to the superior and inferior leaflets, promoting meniscal healing. This configuration has been shown to have the highest load to failure of all repair patterns.

Repair of a Horizontal Cleavage Tear of the Lateral Meniscus with Circumferential Compression Stitches and Marrow Venting Augmentation

Project description:Horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs) are challenging meniscal tear patterns, as they split the meniscus into inferior and superior leaflets, while also involving the central, less vascular portions of the meniscus. Circumferential compression sutures using an all-inside self-retrieving suture passing device like the Novostitch Pro (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA) have demonstrated the ability to create stable repair constructs with uniform compression across both leaflets in the setting of HCTs. Additionally, biological augmentation of meniscal repairs using a marrow venting procedure (MVP) has demonstrated superior clinical outcomes relative to isolated meniscal repairs. Thus, the purpose of this technical note is to outline our procedure for implementing circumferential compression sutures and biologic augmentation using an MVP for repairing an HCT of the lateral meniscus. Technique Video Video 1 In this technical note, we describe our procedure for implementing a right knee circumferential compression suture configuration and biologic augmentation using a marrow venting procedure for repairing a horizontal cleavage tear of the lateral meniscus.

Technique for All-Inside Repair of Bucket-Handle Meniscus Tears.

Project description:Bucket-handle meniscal tears (BHMT) remain a challenge to treat due to their complex pathology and technical difficulty. Subtotal meniscectomy has shown to improve symptoms early but leads to accelerated osteoarthritis in the affected compartment and poor long-term outcomes. BHMT repair and meniscal preservation is the preferred option. This can be performed with inside-out, all-inside, or hybrid meniscus repair techniques. All-inside meniscus repair avoids the need for additional safety incisions, trained assistants for suture passing, and reduce concerns of soft-tissue and neurovascular complications. In this Technical Note, we detail our all-inside technique for BHMT technique and share tips for a successful repair.

The double ACL sign: An aberrant bucket-handle tear of lateral meniscus.

Project description:IntroductionMeniscal injuries are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries around the knee affecting patients of different genders, ages and activity levels. These injuries could be acute or chronic tears that cause pain and mechanical symptoms based on the injury severity and whether it is displaced and entrapped in an abnormal location within the knee or not. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed us to have a better understanding of multiple bucket handle meniscal tear patterns with its specific MRI signs which have been reported in the literature.Case presentationThis report presents a rare case of a 16-year-old boy with atypical bucket-handle tear of lateral meniscus and MRI showed a bucket-handle tear of lateral meniscus with a fragment entrapped behind and parallel to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) appearing as another ACL in sagittal views. Meniscus was repaired arthroscopically.ConclusionIn our case, the unique and infrequent mechanism led to a bucket-handle tear involving lateral meniscus with a meniscal fragment entrapped in an unusual place intra-articularly behind ACL giving the appearance of a rare MRI sign "double ACL sign". However, double ACL sign secondary to lateral meniscal tear has been reported only once previously up to the authors' knowledge.

Clinics in diagnostic imaging (177). Medical meniscus bucket-handle tear with medial oblique meniscomeniscal ligament.

Project description:A 29-year-old man with a previous football injury to his left knee presented with pain of the same knee. The patient twisted it as he was turning a corner quickly while going up the stairs, leading to internal rotation of his femur on his tibia with his knee in flexion. MR imaging revealed a bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus, as well as a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament. However, image interpretation was complicated by the presence of a medial oblique meniscomeniscal ligament, a rare normal variant among intermeniscal ligaments of the knee. All four recognised variants of intermeniscal ligaments are discussed, with emphasis on their prevalence, imaging and anatomical features, and the way in which they may mimic meniscal tears.

Arthroscopic Inside-Out Repair of a Meniscus Bucket-Handle Tear Augmented With Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate.

Project description:Bucket-handle tears of the meniscus comprise nearly 10% of all meniscus tears and commonly affect the young male population. Displacement of the free segment can lead to significant pain and disability, necessitating reduction and surgical treatment. General contraindications include malalignment, severe arthritis, significant comorbidities, or chronic asymptomatic tears, but otherwise repair should almost always be performed. Options for surgical treatment include partial meniscectomy and arthroscopic repair using an all-inside, outside-in, or inside-out technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to detail our arthroscopic inside-out repair technique augmented with bone marrow aspirate concentrate.

Modified Outside-in Repair Technique for Chronic Retracted, Unstable Bucket-Handle Anterior Horn Lateral Meniscal Tear.

Project description:The meniscus plays a very important role in normal functioning of the knee joint. It acts as a shock absorber, gives stability to the knee joint, delays the onset of osteoarthritis, provides load sharing, and so on. It is a well-known fact that after meniscectomy, there is a significant increase in joint reaction forces leading to early osteoarthritis. Hence, in the past decade, meniscal repair has gain enormous importance and various techniques have been developed to repair the meniscus. Conventionally, posterior-third meniscal tears are repaired with all-inside and outside-in techniques whereas middle-third meniscal tears are repaired with all 3 methods: inside out, outside in, and all inside. For tears of the anterior horn of the meniscus, only the outside-in method is used. We have developed a method for repair of chronic unreduced, retracted bucket-handle anterior horn lateral meniscal tears, in which we combined the use of both the outside-in and all-inside methods of repair. Hence, this method is called modified outside-in meniscal repair for chronic retracted bucket-handle anterior horn lateral meniscal tears.

Arthroscopic treatment of bucket-handle labral tear and acetabular fracture.

Project description:Traumatic hip dislocations are associated with chondral and labral pathology as well as loose bodies that can be incarcerated in the joint. These types of injury often lead to traumatic arthritis. In some cases an osseo-labral fragment may become incarcerated in the joint that is not readily visualized preoperatively. In place of open surgery, hip arthroscopy permits a technique to remove loose bodies and repair labral tears to restore joint congruity and achieve fracture reduction and fixation.

The circumferential compression stitch for meniscus repair.

Project description:Over the past 30 years, many patients have benefited from arthroscopically assisted meniscus repair surgery and its ability to preserve a healthy knee. Although techniques have evolved, the basic premise of central-to-peripheral needle penetration across the tear with fixation into the capsular region immediately peripheral to the meniscus has remained. Suture repair techniques that involve encircling the tear have been discussed but have remained largely impractical because of the anatomic constraints of the arthroscopic knee. A suture-passing technology designed to function within these constraints was recently made available from Ceterix Orthopaedics (Menlo Park, CA). It allows surgeons to arthroscopically place circumferential sutures around meniscus tears to provide uniform, anatomic compression of the tear edges through an all-inside technique. This stitch is likely to improve healing rates and safety, as well as to enable repair of tears that were previously considered difficult or impossible to sew. The purposes of this note and accompanying video are to show the feasibility of placing all-inside circumferential compression stitches to treat tears of the knee meniscus and to discuss the potential benefits of such techniques.

An Approach to Chronic and Displaced Bucket Handle Meniscal Tear-Assessment, Repair (Push-and-Pull Technique), or Salvage.

Project description:Meniscal repairs are preferred to meniscectomies to preserve meniscal function and mitigate the risk of degeneration. However, repair of a chronic and displaced bucket handle tear of the meniscus can be technically challenging. We introduce a systematic method for assessment, reduction, repair, or salvage in this situation with an aim of reducing operating time and improving the chance of a favorable outcome. This technique describes repair of a bucket handle tear on the medial meniscus with displacement into the intercondylar notch. An arthroscopic probe is used for reduction and suture tension (push-and-pull technique) when using an all-inside suture device (FAST-FIX 360 repair system; Smith & Nephew) on the middle and posterior part of the tear. The anterior part of the tear is repaired with an outside-in method. If reduction is not possible, then a salvage reduction and hybrid repair is carried out instead. Postoperatively, patients will be nonweight-bearing on the operated limb, and range of motion restricted from 0 to 90° for 6 weeks, with the aim of resuming running by 6 months.
