Knotless Suture Anchor Fixation of a Traumatic Osteochondral Lesion of the Lateral Femoral Condyle.

ABSTRACT: Osteochondral injuries commonly occur after lateral patellar instability events. Recognition and early intervention of displaced fragments is key to maintaining the viability of the fragment and congruency of the articular surface. Multiple fixation techniques exist for achieving stable fixation of displaced osteochondral lesions, including metal or bioabsorbable screws and all suture techniques. In this Technical Note, we describe a technique for internal fixation of a displaced osteochondral fragment of the lateral femoral condyle using knotless suture anchors. This technique affords minimally invasive restoration of the native anatomy with excellent stability of the fracture fragment, allowing early range of motion and ambulation.

Suture bridge fixation of a femoral condyle traumatic osteochondral defect.

Project description:Internal fixation of a traumatic osteochondral defect presents a challenge in terms of obtaining anatomic reduction, fixation, and adequate compression for healing. Fixation with countersunk intraarticular screws, Herbert screws, bioabsorbable screws and pins, mini-cancellous screws, and glue tissue adhesive have been reported with varying results. We present an alternative fixation method used in two patients for femoral condylar defects that achieved anatomic reduction with compression via a cruciate-shaped suture bridge construct tied down over a bony bridge. This fixation method allowed early passive range of motion and permitted high-quality MRI for followup of fracture healing and articular cartilage integrity. Arthroscopic examination of one of two patients at 6 months followup showed the gross appearance of a healed, anatomically reduced fracture. With 1 year followup for one patient and 2 years for the other, the patients have resumed activity as tolerated with full, painless range of motion at the knee. Longer-term outcomes are unknown. However, the suture bridge is an alternative means of fixation with encouraging early results for treatment of traumatic osteochondral fragments in the knee.Level IV, therapeutic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis with Iliotibial Band Using Knotless All-Suture Anchor Femoral Fixation.

Project description:Common injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, can result in both anterior and rotational instability of the knee. An arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) method has been shown to be effective in restoring anterior translational stability, but this could be followed by persistent rotational instability by means of residual pivot shifts or repeat instability episodes. Alternative techniques, such as a lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET), has been proposed as a technique for preventing persistent rotational instability following ACLR. This article presents a case of a LET using an autologous central slip of iliotibial (IT) band with fixation to the femur using a 1.8-mm knotless all-suture anchor.

Modified Lemaire Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis Using an Inlay Technique and All-Suture Knotless Anchor Fixation.

Project description:Appreciation of persistent anterolateral rotatory instability and graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures has led surgeons to adopt the addition of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) in both the revision and primary setting. Multiple techniques have been shown to eliminate anterolateral rotatory instability and reduce forces on the ACL graft, which has translated to lower re-rupture rates and improved patient outcomes. The risk of ACL/LET tunnel convergence can potentially compromise the fixation of one or both graft reconstructions. This article describes a technique for LET fixation which minimizes the depth of the LET femoral bone socket and utilizes low-profile implants thus mitigating this risk.

Lateral Epicondylitis Debridement and Repair Using Knotless Suture Anchor.

Project description:Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, involves degeneration of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon and is often self-limiting, with surgery reserved for recalcitrant cases. Surgical management of tennis elbow consists primarily of either debridement alone or debridement with repair. Surgical repair is often performed using either a suture or a suture anchor. Good outcomes have been reported using standard repair methods; however, complications exist. Complications include potential loss of grip strength with debridement alone, as well as soft-tissue irritation caused by a prominent suture or knot stack after suture repair and suture anchor techniques. We describe a technique for debridement and repair of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus using a knotless suture anchor, allowing for a watertight anatomic repair, maximum preservation of grip strength, and absence of a knot stack and resultant suture prominence.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Lateral Femoral Condyle and Distal Femoral Osteotomy in the Setting of Failed Osteochondritis Dissecans Fixation.

Project description:Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a pathologic condition, most commonly affecting the knee joint in adolescents and young adults, although pathology can also be found at the elbow and ankle. Lesions to the medial femoral condyle are classically associated with varus alignment, while lesions to the lateral femoral condyle are seen in patients with valgus malalignment. Common risk factors for failed fixation of OCD lesions include unstable lesions to the lateral femoral condyle, screw breakage, older age, and closed physes. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the preoperative planning and step-by-step surgical approach for treatment of failed fixation of an OCD lesion of the posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle in young, active patients using an osteochondral allograft, a lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy to correct malalignment, and a tibial tubercle osteotomy to facilitate access to the lesion.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis With Knotless Anchor Fixation.

Project description:Recent studies have reported the biomechanical and clinical advantages of lateral extraarticular augmentation procedures including the modified lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. LET has been shown to significantly decrease re-rupture rates in high-risk patients and decrease anterior cruciate ligament graft forces during pivoting loads and instrumented anterior laxity testing. Many variations of the modified LET approaches have been described. However, concerns including lateral hematoma, wound-healing complications, and increased operative time exist. This minimally invasive, arthroscopic-assisted approach using a knotless, all-suture anchor allows for direct visualization through a 2-cm incision and inherently decreases the morbidity associated with traditional LET techniques.

Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fixation With a Knotless Suture Anchor: A Minimalistic Approach.

Project description:This technical note outlines a minimalist arthroscopic approach to anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture fixation using a bioabsorbable knotless suture anchor. This method represents a less invasive alternative to traditional techniques, catering specifically to fractures classified as Meyers and McKeever type II or III. The procedure is performed through standard anterolateral and anteromedial portals without the need for additional incisions or bone tunnel drilling, making it particularly suitable for children and adolescent patients with open physes. The technique involves the use of a suture hook to pass a double-stranded suture through the anterior cruciate ligament, anchored eccentrically to the anterior tibial incline with a knotless suture anchor. This approach allows for anatomic reduction with adjustable tension and without the potential risk of iatrogenic osteochondral injury. Nonetheless, it should be acknowledged that prospective biomechanical studies and larger patient samples are necessary to validate this technique compared with existing fixation methods.

Revision Lateral Femoral Condyle Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation With the Snowman Technique After Failed Previous Oblong Osteochondral Allograft.

Project description:Osteochondral allograft transplantation provides components of both cartilage and subchondral bone and can be used in large and multifocal defects where autologous procedures are limited by donor-site morbidity. Osteochondral allograft transplantation is particularly appealing in the management of failed cartilage repair, as larger defects and subchondral bone involvement are often present, and the use of multiple overlapping plugs might be considered. The described technique provides our preoperative workup and reproducible surgical approach for patients who have undergone previous osteochondral transplantation with graft failure and are young, active patients who would not be otherwise suited for a knee arthroplasty procedure.

Physeal-Sparing Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Anchor for Femoral Graft Fixation.

Project description:Patellar instability is a common problem in the active pediatric population. When nonoperative treatment of the instability fails, growth-respecting surgical stabilization techniques are required. As the incidence of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has increased, techniques have improved to avoid physeal injury to the distal femur. These techniques are technically demanding because of the small size of the distal femoral epiphysis in children, as well as the relatively large socket size (7-8 mm in diameter, >20 mm in length) required for sound fixation with a tenodesis screw as originally described. The size of the femoral tunnel for interference fixation puts the surrounding structures at risk of damage. We present a modification of the epiphyseal socket technique for anatomic growth-sparing MPFL reconstruction using a small soft anchor for femoral graft fixation. This has the proposed advantages of diminishing volumetric bony removal from the epiphysis; increasing the margin of safety with respect to notch, trochlear, and/or physeal damage; and reducing the risk of thermal damage to the physis during socket reaming. This technique is technically simple and can be easily learned by surgeons familiar with adult MPFL reconstruction techniques.

Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Primary Repair With Synthetic Augmentation and Fixation With the Knotless Suture Anchor.

Project description:An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common ligament injuries in athletes. The arthroscopic ACL reconstruction procedure is the gold standard for treatment. However, the improvement in injury classification and suture materials has subsequently made arthroscopic ACL primary repair an alternative surgical treatment option. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic ACL primary repair with synthetic augmentation made of several high-strength sutures and fixation with the knotless suture anchor. The reinforced synthetic material acts as a structural tie to support the ACL while it heals.
