Arthroscopic Transosseous Suture-bridge Fixation for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fractures.

ABSTRACT: Few cases of tibial spine avulsion injuries occur in adolescents. An open or arthroscopic surgical approach is indicated for displaced and nonreducible fractures, but evidence for a gold standard is insufficient. Various arthroscopic techniques are available. Suture fixation is popular and shows good results. The proposed technique is a modified suture-bridge fixation using 2 high-strength sutures tied through 2 transosseous tunnels. This simple and low-cost technique avoids the potential complications of hardware fixation within a joint. It represents an arthroscopic treatment option for anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion injuries.

Arthroscopic 4-point suture fixation of anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures.

Project description:Tibial eminence avulsion fractures are rare injuries occurring mainly in adolescents and young adults. When necessary, regardless of patient age, anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation are mandatory for fracture healing and accurate restoration of normal knee biomechanics. Various arthroscopically assisted fixation methods with sutures, anchors, wires, or screws have been described but can be technically demanding, thus elongating operative times. The purpose of this article is to present a technical variation of arthroscopic suture fixation of anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. Using thoracic drain needles over 2.4-mm anterior cruciate ligament tibial guidewires, we recommend the safe and easy creation of four 2.9-mm tibial tunnels at different angles and at specific points. This technique uses thoracic drain needles as suture passage cannulas and offers 4-point fixation stability, avoiding potential complications of bony bridge fracture and tunnel connection.

Arthroscopic Nontransosseous Suture Fixation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fractures.

Project description:Few cases of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial avulsion injuries occur in adolescents. Bony ACL avulsion from the tibial side has been treated by various methods ranging from conservative management to a wide range of operative procedures. Various arthroscopic operative procedures are available to reduce and fix these fractures. We describe a technique of arthroscopic "8" knotted fixation without any tibial tunnels for tibial-sided ACL avulsion. This simple technique avoids the potential complications of hardware fixation within a joint. It represents an arthroscopic treatment option for ACL tibial avulsion injuries.

Suture Bridge Fixation for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture in Children.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures in children are extremely rare. Due to the rarity of these injuries, careful attention to the specific physical examination and imaging findings is necessary for a proper diagnosis. PCL avulsion fractures can be missed on plain radiography in skeletally immature patients. Magnetic resonance imaging should be considered if sagging or posterior drawer sign is positive after a strong hit to the anterior aspect of the lower leg. With this knowledge, clinicians can formulate treatment plans that can return patients to their original functionality while avoiding potential morbidity from misdiagnoses. We treated these patients using the suture bridge method. In children, ossification is incomplete, and they possess a lot of cartilage, so screw fixation easily destroys avulsed fragment. The suture bridge method can firmly fix the avulsed fragments, reducing the risk of damage to the bone fragment; therefore, a secondary surgery for implant removal is not needed. Arthroscopic surgery also was expected to be technically difficult in children due to the limited scope of the operation. We used open fixation because the outcome was unaffected by open surgery and arthroscopic surgery, and all patients returned to full sporting activity postoperatively.

Arthroscopic Suture-to-Loop Fixation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture.

Project description:Avulsion fracture of the tibial insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) receives constant concern. Arthroscopic procedures have long been attempted because of their minimally invasive nature, and various related techniques have been reported. However, the best arthroscopic method is still being pursued. In this article, we introduce an arthroscopic suture ligation and backup adjustable-loop fixation technique for PCL tibial avulsion fracture. The critical points of this technique are proper ligation of the PCL, proper location of the 2 tibial tunnels to create pulleys for posterior-inferior reduction of the bone fragment, and additional backup suture loop fixation. Our experience indicates that this technique is efficient and relatively simple. We consider that the introduction of this technique will provide a reasonable choice in the treatment of PCL tibial avulsion fracture.

Arthroscopic Suture-to-Adjustable Loop Fixation of Adult Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Avulsion Fracture.

Project description:Adult tibial avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) occurs not as frequently as ACL tear but still is concerning. There are many methods of arthroscopic fixation of this special fracture. However, a simple and effective method is still being pursued. We would like to introduce an arthroscopic suture-to-adjustable loop fixation technique, which features are a reduction of lateral displacement of the fragment by special suture configuration and tensioning, and a final reduction of residual displacement by tensioning the adjustable loop. We consider the introduction of this technique will provide additional choice in the treatment of adult ACL tibial avulsion fracture.

Arthroscopic suture bridge fixation of tibial intercondylar eminence fractures.

Project description:Tibial intercondylar eminence fractures that are displaced and non-reducible require open or arthroscopically assisted repair. Ideally, fracture reduction and fixation would be performed with a technique that has low morbidity, allows easy visualization and reduction, provides firm fixation, does not violate the proximal tibial physis, avoids metal hardware, and does not require a second procedure for implant removal. The suture bridge technique, used in the shoulder for rotator cuff tears and greater tuberosity fracture repair, has the ability to produce high contact pressures with rigid fixation. We describe an all-inside and all-epiphyseal arthroscopic suture bridge technique for tibial intercondylar eminence fracture repair performed with PushLock anchors (Arthrex, Naples, FL). One or 2 anchors preloaded with No. 2 FiberWire (Arthrex) are placed in the posterior fracture bed, followed by fracture reduction. The suture limbs are shuttled through and around the anterior cruciate ligament and over the fracture fragment in crossing fashion and are secured by use of additional anchors placed at the anteromedial and anterolateral fracture margin. The anchors are placed obliquely to avoid the proximal tibial physis in the pediatric population. Anatomic reduction and secure fixation allow more aggressive rehabilitation and faster restoration of joint function.

Arthroscopic mini tunnel suture bridge for ACL tibial avulsion fractures repair.

Project description:The study presents an arthroscopic transosseous suture bridge technique for repairing avulsion fractures of the tibial insertion of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), specifically tailored for adolescent patients. The technique utilizes two mini tunnels, integrating the principles of transosseous tunneling and suture bridging to ensure stable fixation while minimizing the impact on the bone bed. Over a seven-year period, 39 patients with Meyers-Mckeever types II, III, and IV tibial avulsion fractures underwent this procedure. The surgery had an average duration of 52.7 min and resulted in decreased swelling and pain within two months postoperatively. All patients achieved full knee extension and over 120° of flexion. X-rays confirmed complete fracture healing within six to 12 months, and negative anterior drawer test and Lachman test indicated stable fixation. Significant improvements were seen in Lysholm and IKDC scores. This technique offers several advantages: it is effective, stable, and particularly suitable for adolescents due to the reduced impact on the bone bed and successful avoidance of epiphyseal plate injury.

Arthroscopic Fixation of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Using FiberWire Suture With Suture Disc.

Project description:Controversy still exists regarding how to reduce and fix a displaced tibial avulsion fracture. Open reduction and internal fixation may lead to morbidity due to soft-tissue injury and arthrotomy. As a result, arthroscopic techniques are increasing in popularity. In the literature, sutures, K wires, and screws are suggested to be used as the fixation devices. Screws cannot be used in small or comminuted fractures, whereas K wires and sutures may not provide strong stability. Recently, with the advent of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene sutures like FiberWire, it has become possible to use it as the fixation device in even comminuted avulsion fractures with acceptable reduction stability. In this paper, we describe a simple arthroscopic technique using a FiberWire to manage the displaced tibial eminence avulsion fracture.

Arthroscopic Suture Fixation in Femoral-Sided Avulsion Fracture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

Project description:A femoral-sided avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a rare and challenging condition. Most reported cases have occurred in childhood or adolescence. Many techniques of ACL repair have been reported, and in recent years, techniques in arthroscopic surgery have been developed and have become ever more popular with orthopaedic surgeons. We created a technique of arthroscopic ACL repair with suture anchor fixation for a femoral-sided ACL avulsion fracture. This technique saves the natural ACL stump. It is available for cases in which creation of a tibial tunnel is not allowed. Moreover, it does not require a skin incision for fixation on the far femoral cortex and, therefore, does not require a second operation to remove the fixation device. The arthroscopic technique also has a good cosmetic outcome.
