Paediatric conjoint bicondylar Hoffa fracture with patellar tendon injury: An unusual pattern of injury.

ABSTRACT: Epiphyseal injuries of distal femur are rare with an incidence of 1%-6% among all physeal injuries. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment is crucial to achieve satisfactory functional outcomes. A conjoint bicondylar coronal split (Hoffa) fracture with complete transaction of ipsilateral patellar tendon has been reported in a 12 year old child. The injury was managed by open reduction and internal fixation and bone to tendon repair. This case emphasizes the need of accurate intraepiphyseal fixation for the management of these fractures in skeletally immature patients.

Patella Baja Revisited: Interposition of a Pedunculated Flap of the Hoffa Fat Pad to Treat Adhesions Between the Tibia and Patellar Tendon and Restore the Functional Length of the Patellar Tendon.

Project description:Adhesions in the deep infrapatellar region may occur as iatrogenic complications (e.g., after bone-patellar tendon-bone grafting), as part of arthrofibrosis or infrapatellar contracture syndrome, or owing to specific diseases such as Osgood-Schlatter disease. Described adhesions may limit the length of the functional portion of the patellar tendon and lead to patella baja with subsequent decreased range of motion and patellofemoral joint overload, with a risk of osteoarthritis development. The patellar tendon length is commonly within normal limits; however, only the free part of the patellar tendon is functionally active. The purpose of this article is to present a quick, simple, and cost-effective technique for the treatment of patella baja due to adhesions in the deep infrapatellar region. This technique consists of the removal of adhesions to free the whole length of the patellar tendon and the interposition of a Hoffa fat pad pedunculated flap between the patellar tendon and tibia to avoid the recurrent formation of adhesions. Only local tissues are used, allowing for the avoidance of donor-site morbidity. The technique restores the functional length of the patellar tendon and thus normalizes patellofemoral kinematics, increases range of motion, alleviates anterior knee pain, and decreases the risk of osteoarthritis development.

Bifocal Patellar Tendon Avulsion Fractures in Children and Adolescents: Diagnosis and Treatment Considerations for a Unique Injury Pattern.

Project description:PurposeTo highlight important diagnostic and treatment considerations in patients who present with bifocal patellar tendon avulsion fractures from the tibial tubercle and inferior patellar pole.MethodsRadiographic presentation, surgical technique, and complications of 5 children who sustained bifocal patellar tendon avulsion fractures with ≥6 months postoperative follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Brief Functional Activity Scale (HSS Pedi-FABS), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pain interference, PROMIS mobility, and Pediatric International Knee Documentation Committee Scale (Pedi-IKDC) were assessed at most recent follow-up.ResultsFive children (4 boys, 1 girl) presented with bifocal patellar tendon avulsion fractures with a median follow-up of 12.8 months (range 7.7 to 26.4). In 1 case, advanced imaging was not pursued, and the bifocal nature of injury was subsequently discovered intraoperatively. In all other cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correctly characterized the bifocal injuries and revealed the full extent of fractures and soft tissue injury. Surgical management involved suture anchor repair with heavy nonabsorbable sutures. Postoperative functional and patient-reported outcomes were within the range of population healthy/normative values (for those that were available for comparison, e.g., Pedi-IKDC), and clinically relevant improvement was noted when comparing preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures of both pain and mobility.ConclusionsAdvanced imaging (e.g., MRI) is required to understand the full extent of injury and should be obtained in the setting of traumatic patella alta to evaluate for the presence of a bifocal lesion and plan surgical intervention accordingly. These patients demonstrate satisfactory functional and patient-reported outcomes after operative repair.Level of evidenceIV, therapeutic case series.

Trimalleolar fracture and associated Achilles tendon rupture: Ten year follow up of an unusual water-skiing injury.

Project description:A 49 year old professional fitness instructor sustained a high velocity rotational injury to his right ankle while waterski-ing. The ski bindings did not release, exacerbating the injury. This resulted in a trimalleolar fracture and a rupture of his Achilles tendon. A trimalleolar fracture in association with a rupture of the Achilles tendon has not been previously reported. This combination of injuries posed a dilemma in treatment options and postoperative management. The authors felt that ensuring that the Achilles tendon healed with no shortening was the priority for future function in this professional athlete. It was decided to treat the Achilles tendon rupture by open repair and to place the ankle in equinus postoperatively. It was also decided to openly reduce and internally fix the medial and lateral malleolar fractures before immobilising the ankle in equinus. Any residual stiffness in the ankle, subtalar and midtarsal joints would be treated with aggressive physiotherapy. It was felt that the rotational forces may have resulted in a degree of degloving around the ankle. Care was therefore taken in the choice and placement of the surgical incisions. In spite of this, the lateral surgical wound broke down postoperatively, needing treatment with a fasciocutaneous flap. When reviewed at ten years following the injury, the patient was continuing to work as a fitness instructor with a view to continuing to retirement in five years at the age of 65. There was a slight decrease in dorsiflexion of the right ankle but flexion was full and movement of the subtalar and midtarsal joints were also full. There remained 1 cm of wasting of the right calf. Radiology of the ankle showed no joint space narrowing or evidence of degenerative change at ten years following the injury.

Pediatric conjoint Hoffa's fracture: An uncommon injury and review of literature.

Project description:Coronal plane fracture of femoral condyles was first elaborated by Hoffa. These are difficult articular injuries, often described in adult skeleton and very rarely in pediatric age group. Conjoint variety with intact bone bridge between condyles in intercondylar notch area is rare. We report a conjoint variety of bicondylar Hoffa's fracture in a child which was surgically treated using headless compression screws along with a brief review of literature about fracture entity and complexities associated with it.

Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Augmentation With Gracilis Tendon: The Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Plus Technique.

Project description:The bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft or allograft is a well-established option for primary or revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, although the length and width of the graft are relatively consistent, its thickness is unpredictable and can impact the biomechanical properties of the ACL graft. This technical note describes a technique for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction called the "BPTB-plus" technique, which consists of a BPTB graft augmented by the gracilis tendon.

Avulsion Fracture of Bicruciate Ligament and Patellar Tendon in Bicruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty

Project description:Tibial intercondylar fracture with anterior cruciate ligament avulsion is a unique but rare complication of bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. Here, we describe an even rarer condition that the tibial intercondylar fracture involved bicruciate ligament and partial patellar tendon avulsion fracture resulting in significant clinical instability in a 70-year-old woman, a combination not yet reported in the literature. Dual-energy computed tomography helped characterize the fracture. During revision surgery, the bicruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty was revised to posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty and the patellar tendon was repaired with a suture anchor. She recovered well progressively, and at 6 months, she could walk with the use of an assisted walking device.

Patellar Tendon Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation for Proximal Patellar Tendon Rupture.

Project description:Patellar tendon ruptures are severe but uncommon injuries that require surgical treatment. Primary repair for acute patellar tendon ruptures using augmentation techniques has shown good results in terms of biomechanical and clinical outcomes. This Technical Note details patellar tendon repair with suture tape augmentation for proximal patellar tendon rupture. Because this surgical technique does not require harvesting of the hamstring tendon and hardware removal, it is minimally invasive. In addition, it is simple and quick to perform.

Multifragmentary patellar fracture has a distinct fracture pattern which makes coronal split, inferior pole, or satellite fragments.

Project description:The present study aimed to map the location and frequency of fracture lines on the coronal articular and sagittal planes in multifragmentary patellar fractures. 66 multifragmentary patellar fractures were digitally reconstructed using the 3D CT mapping technique. The coronal articular surface and midsagittal fracture maps were produced by superimposing each case over a single template. Each fracture line was classified based on the initial displacement and orientation. We evaluated the frequency and direction of the fracture line, coronal split fragment area, and satellite and inferior pole fragment presence. Coronal articular surface fracture mapping identified primary horizontal fracture lines between the middle and inferior one-third of the articular surface in 63 patients (95.4%). Secondary horizontal fracture lines running on the inferior border of the articular facet were confirmed (83.3%). Secondary vertical fracture lines creating satellite fragments were mostly located on the periphery of the bilateral facet. Midsagittal fracture mapping of primary and secondary horizontal fracture lines with the main coronal fracture line revealed a predominantly X-shaped fracture map. The consequent coronal split fragment and inferior pole fracture were combined in most cases. In conclusion, the multifragmentary patellar fracture has a distinct pattern which makes coronal split, inferior pole, or satellite fragments.

Patellar Tendon Revision Reconstruction With Hamstring Tendon Autografts.

Project description:Patellar tendon rupture is an infrequent cause of disability in patients younger than 40 years, with chronic injury and repeat procedures creating difficulty in facilitating healing. Use of hamstring autograft to reinforce the repair has been reported to strengthen the repair construct in patients with previous failure or chronic injury. This technique describes utilization of gracilis and semitendinosus tendon autografts to reconstruct the patellar tendon in a case of primary repair failure.

Extensor mechanism reconstruction with peroneus longus tendon autograft for neglected patellar fracture, report of 2 cases.

Project description:Extensor mechanism deficiency in the knee may occur due to neglected patellar and quadriceps tendons rupture or may be caused by chronic fractures of the patella. Older patients can tolerate nonunion with impaired function including extension limitation or persistent muscle weakness. In young patients, performing rigid internal fixation with reoperation should be considered when a nonunion occurs. However, delayed and neglected nonunion in patella fractures require performing different surgical procedures. We report two cases, operated for a patella fracture, in whom nonunion occurred and accompanied by patellar migration and retraction of quadriceps tendon because of a fixation failure. We reconstructed the extensor mechanism with peroneus longus tendon autograft and, owing to this method, we achieved excellent functional results during a 2-year follow-up period.
