Arthroscopic Lateral Collateral Ligament Complex Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow, the Operative Technique.

ABSTRACT: Posterolateral rotatory instability is concerning pathology in patients with recalcitrant lateral elbow pain. An arthroscopic technique can be used to perform reconstruction of lateral collateral ligament for eradicating the instability and also to manage concomitant lesions in a simultaneous operation. Similar to the modified Brostrӧm procedure using an inferior extensor retinaculum to augment the lateral collateral ligament for lateral ankle instability, in our Technical Note, we use anconeus muscles and annular ligament to augment the lateral collateral ligament for elbow instability during the reconstruction, allowing all tissue to heal with the bone by using a knotless technique.

Arthroscopic Reinsertion of Lateral Collateral Ligament, Anterior Capsular Plication, and Coronoid Tunneling Technique for Chronic Elbow Posterolateral Rotatory Instability.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow is a chronic condition that results from lateral collateral ligament complex injury and presents with pain, clicking, and subluxation within the flexion and extension arcs of elbow motion. The primary cause involves a lesion of the lateral collateral ligament complex and its avulsion from the lateral epicondyle. In most cases, it is the result of trauma such as a fall on an outstretched hand or any other mechanism that imparts axial compression, valgus force, and supination. Several surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of PLRI, but there is no consensus regarding the ideal surgical treatment. The advantages of an arthroscopic approach for the treatment of PLRI are first diagnostic. Arthroscopy allows for visualization and diagnosis of every compartment of the elbow. The main steps of the surgical procedure consist of reinsertion of the lateral collateral ligament, anterior capsular plication, and coronoid tunneling. By use of this technique, it is possible to perform an anatomic repair and provide stability of the elbow.

Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow.

Project description:Reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is the primary treatment for recurrent symptomatic posterolateral rotatory instability. Although a number of lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction techniques have been described, the docking technique has received general acceptance. In this technique, the graft is passed through a tunnel on the ulnar side and the 2 free limbs are docked into the humerus at the isometric point on the lateral condyle. Advantages of this method of reconstruction include reduced bone removal, decreased soft tissue damage, and precise control of graft tensioning. When precise surgical steps are followed, this technique can be performed in a reliable, efficient, and reproducible manner for patients with posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction for Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow: A Technical Note.

Project description:The lateral collateral ligament complex of the elbow is pivotal for maintaining the stability of the elbow joint. The open technique for reconstructing the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) is a standard procedure to treat elbow instability caused by LUCL deficiency. Nevertheless, as arthroscopy procedures in the elbow have advanced, we describe an arthroscopic technique to reconstruct the LUCL with suture anchors and bone tunnel techniques.

Arthroscopic Modified Elbow Lateral Collateral Ligament Imbrication: An Operative Technique.

Project description:When the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) complex fails to support the radiocapitellar and ulnohumeral joints in advanced stages of insufficiency, the patient experiences posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI). Open lateral ulnar collateral ligament repair with a ligamentous graft has been the standard treatment for PLRI. Despite producing good clinical stability rates, this method is associated with significant lateral soft-tissue dissection and a lengthy recovery period. By fastening the LCL to its humeral insertion, arthroscopic imbrication of the LCL can increase stability. The senior author modified this technique. With the aid of a passer, the LCL complex, lateral capsule, and anconeus may be weaved with a single (doubled) suture, secured with a Nice knot. LCL complex imbrication may be used to restore stability and improve pain and function in patients with grade I and II PLRI.

Arthroscopic Diagnosis of Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most common form of symptomatic acute and chronic elbow instability. Diagnosis is usually made using a combination of clinical tests and imaging modalities; however, in more subtle forms of instability, these measures may be equivocal. Arthroscopy is a valuable adjunct for diagnosis and treatment of PLRI. It allows direct appreciation of the instability process, quantification of the degree of instability, and identification of concurrent associated pathology. The aim of this technique article is to report a series of reproducible arthroscopic tests used for diagnosis of PLRI with examples of normal and pathologic arthroscopic findings.

Posterolateral Elbow Dislocation: An All-Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament.

Project description:The elbow is one of the most commonly dislocated joints. Although simple dislocations of the elbow usually resolve with conservative management, certain patients can experience residual chronic instability. Posterolateral rotational instability accounts for approximately 80% of elbow chronic instability cases. We propose an all-arthroscopic reconstruction of the posterior, or ulnar, fascicle of the lateral ligament complex using an autograft or allograft, performed with a 5-mm-thick and 8-cm-long graft. The graft is first inserted distally into the supinator crest with an Arthrex 4.75-mm SwiveLock implant and, finally, at its origin in the epicondyle, also with a screw of the same characteristics. Arthroscopic techniques create fewer complications. This procedure allows the surgeon to address intra-articular elbow joint pathology with less chance of wound complications and the ability to use bone anchors if desired.

Lateral elbow ligament reconstruction for posterolateral rotatory instability: 10 years follow-up in 32 patients.

Project description:BackgroundPosterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most frequent form of both acute and chronic elbow instability. It is due to mechanical incompetence of the lateral collateral ligament. O'Driscoll et al described treatment of this instability by autologous reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament. The aim of our study was to evaluate the medium and long-term clinical, functional and radiological results of patients who were surgically treated for PLRI by this technique. We hypothesized that such ligament reconstruction restores a functional joint complex and durably stabilizes the elbow and limits the long-term risk of osteoarthritis.MethodsAll patients treated for symptomatic PLRI by ligament reconstruction since January 1995 and who had a minimum follow-up of 36 months were retrospectively included.ResultsThirty-two patients (32 elbows) underwent clinical and radiological evaluation with a mean follow-up of 112 months (range, 36-265 months). The success rate of the procedure was 97% with one patient requiring revision reconstruction. Twenty-four patients (75%) were free from pain. Pain was significantly greater in patients with associated lesions (P = .03) and those with morbid obesity (body mass index ≥40) (P = .03). Twenty-nine (91%) patients had resumed their previous activities. Twenty-eight patients (87%) were satisfied or very satisfied. The mean Mayo Clinic score was 96/100 and the QuickDash 14.7/100. Two patients (6%) with accompanying lesions developed severe osteoarthritis.ConclusionElbow ligament reconstruction by the technique of O'Driscoll et al effectively restores stability and limits progression to osteoarthritis in the long term. The only failure in our series was due to several technical errors. Patients who had dislocation with associated lesions or morbid obesity are at risk of poorer functional results.

Anconeus-Sparing Minimally Invasive Approach for Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Posterolateral Elbow Instability.

Project description:Posterolateral elbow instability with an insufficiency of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament commonly results from elbow trauma. However, other etiologies such as iatrogenic injuries after primary surgical treatment for lateral epicondylitis or repetitive corticosteroid injections also may lead to a lateral ulnar collateral ligament insufficiency. In these cases, surgical treatment can help to restore posterolateral stability of the elbow. Besides the stabilizing effect of the ligamentous structures, the anconeus muscle is the most import active stabilizer against posterolateral elbow instability. Therefore, the aim of the present technique is to present an anconeus-sparing, minimally invasive approach to restore posterolateral stability. This technique may serve as an alternative for typically used all open access.

Posterolateral Rotatory Instability of the Elbow: Part I. Mechanism of Injury and the Posterolateral Rotatory Drawer Test.

Project description:Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most commonly encountered pattern of elbow instability. It is the result of disruption of the lateral collateral ligament complex leading to a posterolateral rotatory subluxation of the ulna and radial head. A number of examination maneuvers have been described to assist in clinical identification of PLRI. Despite this, some inconsistency in the description of these techniques remains in the orthopaedic literature. This Technical Note details the mechanism of injury and patient presentation, and emphasizes the primacy of the posterolateral rotatory drawer test in the assessment of PLRI while providing video instruction on how it should be performed.
