A Modified LaPrade Technique in Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction of the Knee.

ABSTRACT: Posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries represent a complex injury pattern whose repair is essential for varus and rotational stability of the knee. Several surgical techniques have been described for PLC injuries, which can be divided into 2 main groups: anatomical and nonanatomical. Due to insufficiency of posterior stabilization of nonanatomic procedure, LaPrade represented an anatomical reconstruction. In this Technical Note, we describe and illustrate some modifications in the anatomic reconstruction of the PLC and lateral collateral ligament.

Knee Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction with a Single Tendon.

Project description:Knee posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries are troublesome conditions and are always involved in complicated knee-ligament injuries. Various surgical techniques have been reported to address these conditions, in either an open or an arthroscopic manner. However, a simple and effective method is still being pursued. We introduce a mini-invasive PLC reconstruction technique in which a single tendon is used to reconstruct the lateral collateral ligament, the popliteofibular ligament and the popliteal tendon simultaneously. The critical points of this technique are proper location and creation of the tibial, fibular and femoral tunnels, proper passing and setting of the tendon graft, as well as protection of the peroneal nerve. Our clinical experience indicates that this technique is easy to perform and effective. We consider that the introduction of this technique will provide more reasonable options when PLC reconstruction is indicated.

An All-Arthroscopic Technique for Complex Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction.

Project description:Injuries to the posterolateral corner (PLC) often result in lateral, rotational, and dorsal instability, which need appropriate and differentiated treatment. Besides posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction for posterior instability, the technique according to LaPrade et al. efficiently stabilizes posterolateral rotational and lateral instability as described in Fanelli type B or C injuries. This technique has been exclusively used as an open procedure. In this article, we present an all-arthroscopic technique for the posterolateral stabilization procedure. To achieve this, 5 different arthroscopic portals are needed. The PLC is visualized by a trans-septal approach. Directly posterior to the popliteal tendon, arthroscopic preparation is started and the medial part of the fibular head is exposed. Two anatomic drill channels are placed in the lateral femoral condyle, with one tibial channel in the distal third of the sulcus popliteus and one channel in the fibular head. The popliteal tendon, popliteofibular ligament, and lateral collateral ligament are reconstructed with autologous hamstring tendons. The advantages of an all-arthroscopic anatomic PLC reconstruction are the protection of the soft tissues and the precise anatomic tunnel placement under direct visualization. The described procedure is a safe and anatomic method for posterolateral stabilization.

Anatomic Reconstruction of the Posterolateral Corner: An All-Arthroscopic Technique.

Project description:Injuries of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee lead to chronic lateral and external rotational instability. Successful treatment of PLC injuries requires an understanding of the complex anatomy and biomechanics of the PLC. Several open PLC reconstruction techniques have been published. It is understood that anatomic reconstruction is superior to extra-anatomic techniques, leading to better clinical results. An open, anatomic, fibula-based technique for reconstruction to address lateral and rotational instability has been described. However, when an open technique is used, surgeon and patient are faced with disadvantages, such as soft tissue damage or exposure of vulnerable structures. Few arthroscopic techniques for tibia- or fibula-based reconstruction of rotational posterolateral instability have been described. A complete arthroscopic stabilization of the combined lateral and posterolateral rotational instability of the knee has not yet been described. We therefore present the first all-arthroscopic technique for complete PLC reconstruction, based on an open technique described previously. All relevant landmarks of the PLC can be arthroscopically visualized in detail, allowing safe and effective treatment of PLC injuries.

Open Anatomic Reconstruction of the Posterolateral Corner: The Arciero Technique.

Project description:The posterolateral corner (PLC) is an important stabilizer of the knee. This complex of ligaments and tendons functions as the primary restraint to varus and posterolateral rotation of the knee. Injury to the PLC can result in chronic instability, a varus-thrust gait, and early arthrosis of the medial compartment of the knee if left untreated. Several techniques have been designed to address injuries of the PLC. Over the last 30 years, our understanding of the posterolateral corner as well as its operative reconstruction evolved. This evolution has attempted to refine what is an "anatomic" reconstruction. With more improved techniques and new, innovative fixation devices, we hope to make a more favorable repair for recreating the native stability of the posterolateral corner.

Arthroscopic Identification of the Knee Posterolateral Corner Structures and Anatomic Arthroscopic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction: Technical Note - Part 2.

Project description:Posterolateral corner injuries are complex injuries, and their therapeutic management varies from one individual to another. Biomechanical studies demonstrate that anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction restores knee kinematics better than nonanatomic reconstruction. The purpose of this report is to describe an all-arthroscopic procedure for anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Identification of the Knee Posterolateral Corner Structures and Anatomic Arthroscopic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction: Technical Note - Part 1.

Project description:Arthroscopic assessment of posterior compartments of the knee and the posterior aspect of the proximal tibial and fibula is challenging because of the relative proximity of the neurovascular bundle. This Technical Note describes a reproducible arthroscopic surgical approach in a cadaveric model that aims to identify and expose the popliteus tendon, posterior fibular head, fibular collateral ligament popliteal fibular ligament, biceps femoris tendon, and peroneal nerve.

Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction.

Project description:Posterolateral corner injuries represent a complex injury pattern, with damage to important coronal and rotatory stabilizers of the knee. These lesions commonly occur in association with other ligament injuries, making decisions regarding treatment challenging. Grade III posterolateral corner injuries result in significant instability and have poor outcomes when treated nonoperatively. As a result, reconstruction is advocated. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy is essential for surgical treatment of this pathology. The following technical note provides a diagnostic approach, postoperative management, and details of a technique for anatomic reconstruction of the 3 main static stabilizers of the posterolateral corner of the knee.

Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus and Gracilis Autografts: Surgical Technique.

Project description:An anatomically based posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction has emerged as a viable and clinically effective surgical technique for midsubstance ligamentous injuries in both the acute and chronic settings. There are several surgical techniques for PLC reconstruction; however, the classic anatomic reconstruction technique (LaPrade technique) is now considered the gold standard and was originally described using an Achilles tendon allograft. In this article, we describe a modified LaPrade autograft technique, in which the same tunnel position, graft passage, and fixation are used to reproduce the 3 primary stabilizers of the PLC. Instead of allografts, hamstring autografts are used while tunnel diameters and fixation devices are adapted to them. With the use of autograft tendons, difficulties related to graft length or asymmetry are encountered. We consider this technique a good alternative for an anatomically based PLC reconstruction, especially given the lower availability and higher cost of allograft tissues in several countries.

Double Vector: A Combined Biomechanical and Anatomical Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Technique.

Project description:Posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries are complex knee injuries that are becoming increasingly frequent. Often undiagnosed and underestimated, a systematic diagnostic workup is necessary to assess the severity of PLC injury in order to then be able to select the proper surgery approach. Anatomical and nonanatomical PLC-reconstruction techniques have been described. In this Technical Note, we describe our technique of biomechanical reconstruction of PLC in case of severe posterolateral rotational instability.

Simultaneous Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Posterior Cruciate Ligament, Posteromedial Corner, and Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction of the Knee.

Project description:Concomitant injuries of the 4 groups of ligaments of the knee are a serious condition and challenge the orthopaedic surgeon when reconstruction of all ligaments is needed. Staged reconstruction can be chosen owing to the complexity of the combined procedures; however, simultaneous reconstruction is favored to facilitate recovery. We describe a simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), posteromedial corner (PMC), and posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction technique, in which autografts are used and both cruciate ligaments are reconstructed in a single-bundle manner. We believe the introduction of this technique will familiarize surgeons with the principle of simultaneous 4-ligament reconstruction of the knee and the method of cruciate ligament balancing during bicruciate ligament reconstruction.
