Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

ABSTRACT: The clinical results of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCL) still leave much room for improvement. To get better knee stability, the double-bundle reconstruction, the use of strong grafts, and the preservation of the remnant have been applied. However, the combination of the 3 measures has seldom been reported. Thus I introduce a 4-tunnel double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique, in which I combine the use of strong grafts and preservation of the remnant. The critical point of this technique is manipulating skillfully across the femoral notch with the preservation, as well as the hindrance to operation of the PCL remnant. My clinical experience indicates this technique is somewhat complicated but most effective. I believe the introduction of this technique will provide an additional choice when PCL reconstruction is to be performed.

Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Without Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction has long been attempted to obtain better clinical results than single-bundle PCL reconstruction. In most previous reports regarding double-bundle PCL reconstruction, one tibial tunnel and various kinds of grafts were used. We introduce a two-tibial tunnel, double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique with ultra-strong grafts. The critical points of this technique are proper creation of the tibial tunnels and the protection of the posterior neurovascular structures. Our clinical experience indicates this technique can lead to satisfactory stable outcomes. We believe that this technique will provide a reasonable choice for PCL reconstruction without remnant preservation.

Single-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Remnant always exists following injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). To improve the clinical outcomes of PCL reconstruction, preservation of the remnant has long been a consideration. However, how to make the remnant-preservation technique simple and more effective is of concern. We describe a single-bundle anatomical PCL reconstruction technique with remnant preservation in which the posteromedial and posterolateral portals are used, the graft is placed at the lateral side of the remnant, and pulleys are used to facilitate graft passage at the 2 killer turns of the grafting routes. We consider introduction of this technique will provide reasonable choices in PCL reconstruction.

Sandwich-Style Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With In-Between Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Various degree of remnant tissues exists following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Making use of these tissues may be helpful for the reconstructed ACL from many aspects. There are many methods of remnant preservation and use, as well as many types of combined ACL reconstruction. However, the most effective methods of remnant reuse as well as ACL reconstruction are still being pursued. We introduce an anatomical double-bundle transtibial ACL reconstruction with in-between remnant preservation technique named sandwich-style ACL reconstruction. The indication of this technique is complete ACL tear with a large volume of connectable remnant. The main tricks of this technique are proper ligation of the remnant, proper location of the anteromedial-bundle tibial tunnels, and passing the anteromedial bundle through the shallow side of the remnant. We believe the introduction of this technique will provide more options for remnant preservation and ACL reconstruction.

Anatomic Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is known to be the main posterior stabilizer of the knee. Anatomic single-bundle PCL reconstruction, focusing on reconstruction of the larger anterolateral bundle, is the most commonly performed procedure. Because of the residual posterior and rotational tibial instability after the single-bundle procedure and the inability to restore the normal knee kinematics, an anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction has been proposed in an effort to re-create the native PCL footprint more closely and to restore normal knee kinematics. We detail our technique for an anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction using Achilles and anterior tibialis tendon allografts.

Double-bundle "all-inside" posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Project description:The procedure for repairing the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) has a steep learning curve and entails numerous difficult steps during surgery, because of the proximity of the neurovascular bundle, difficult passage of the graft through the posterior capsule, and risk of poor tibial fixation because of the long intramedullary trajectory of the graft. The use of instruments for retrograde reaming and a new device for adjustable cortical suspensory fixation allows for a safe, reproducible all-inside double-bundle PCL reconstruction by simplifying these difficult steps. We used anterior tibial allograft or hamstring autograft together with adjustable suspensory fixation devices that allow tensioning (after fixation) of the posterolateral bundle in extension and the anteromedial bundle in flexion.

Autograft Anatomic, Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:It is well known that the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the main stabilizer to posterior tibial translation in the knee. Anatomic double-bundle reconstruction has recently been proposed to best restore posterior and rotational tibial instability, especially compared with a single-bundle PCL reconstruction (PCLR). Most publications in the peer-reviewed literature on double-bundle PCLR have used allografts. However, in many countries, allografts are not available. This Technical Note describes an all-autograft arthroscopic technique for PCLR using the quadriceps and semitendinosus tendons.

All-Anterior Approach for Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:We describe the all-anterior approach for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation. In this technique, PCL is reconstructed through 3 anterior portals: anterolateral portal, anteromedial portal, and inferior anterolateral portal, whereas the PCL remnant is preserved with great possibility. With the PCL elevator and wire catcher (Smith & Nephew), a self-made wire loop is introduced into the joint through the tibial tunnel, and is used to pass the graft in an all-inside-out fashion. In the transtibial PCL reconstruction technique, posterior portals are routinely adopted and the PCL remnant is often removed for good vision and adequate operative space, which can prolong surgery time and increase the potential risk of iatrogenic injury. In comparison, this technique not only simplifies the surgical procedure and reduces surgical trauma, but also preserves the remnant for our patients.

All-Inside Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation: Anteromedial Portal Technique.

Project description:The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is an important restraint to posterior tibial translation. PCL reconstruction is one of the most challenging procedures, with the literature having described many techniques for reconstruction. Protecting the neurovascular structures, overcoming the "killer turn," preserving bone, and reducing morbidity and postoperative pain are a few of the technical challenges that surgeons often encounter during PCL reconstruction. We describe a technique using a graft-link construct through the anteromedial portal for all-inside PCL reconstruction with remnant preservation that protects the graft from the killer turn of the tibia by smooth passage of the graft over the remnant and improves proprioception, thereby reducing postoperative pain and morbidity and achieving excellent functional outcomes.

Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation Using a Posterior Trans-septal Portal.

Project description:We describe a surgical technique for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation of the original PCL fibers using a posterior trans-septal portal approach. Using the transtibial technique and the posterior trans-septal portal approach allows good visualization of the tibial tunnel preparation, easy access to the tibial tunnel without neurovascular injury, and preservation of remnant PCL fibers. In the preparation of the tibial tunnel, we expose the PCL tibial attachment site completely, detach the posterior capsule from the PCL, and preserve the distal stump of the PCL without neurovascular injury. PCL reconstruction is performed in a way that preserves the remnant PCL fibers. We report on our surgical technique for arthroscopic PCL reconstruction preserving the original PCL fibers.

Remnant Preservation Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Modified All-Inside Technique With Appendiceal Tibial Tunnel.

Project description:The number of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures treated arthroscopically has increased. In most cases, the rupture of the ligament occurs in the femoral attachment, leaving a robust stump attached to the tibia. ACL reconstruction with stump preservation might have some advantages: rapid reinnervation and revascularization of the graft. Most techniques have used an interference screw in tibial fixation, which could be more difficult to achieve the graft diameter within 8 to 10 mm in most situations. Therefore, we describe a technique for modified "all-inside" ACL reconstruction with remnant preservation using an appendiceal tibial tunnel to optimize the graft size. After tunnel drilling in anatomic positions, the ACL stump is bored centrally up to the diameter of the graft to be passed. After passing the graft from the tibial tunnel to the remnant to the femoral tunnel, adjustable loops are used to fix the femoral side and the tibial side by an appendiceal tibial tunnel.
