Proximal tibiofibular stabilization by anatomical ligamentoplasty and diaphyseal osteotomy of the fibula.

ABSTRACT: Proximal tibiofibular instability is a rare condition for which treatment is poorly codified. A 21-year-old patient, a leisure sportswoman, presented a post-traumatic anterolateral instability of the proximal tibiofibular articulation without cartilage lesion. We propose an original surgical technique based on a review of the literature that combines an anatomical ligamentoplasty of the proximal tibiofibular joint and a proximal fibular diaphyseal osteotomy to reduce the distal tibiofibular mechanical stresses. This original technique allows a favorable evolution with recovery of professional and sports activities at 6 months.

Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Stabilization With Concurrent Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction in Multiligamentous Knee Injury.

Project description:Proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) instability is a rare knee injury, accounting for less than 1% of knee injuries. It causes significant lateral sided knee pain and functional deficits and can be associated with up to 9% of multiligament knee injuries. Concurrent surgical treatment of posterolateral corner (PLC) and PTFJ instability poses technical challenges due to the limited working space of the fibula head and inherent risk of collision between grafts, bone tunnels, and implants. In this Technical Note, we detail our senior author's technique for PTFJ reconstruction without the use of additional bone tunnels or implants in the fibula head, to reduce the risk of overcrowding and tunnel collision.ClassificationsLevel I: knee; Level II: other, proximal tibiofibular joint.

Proximal Tibiofibular Reconstruction in Adolescent Patients.

Project description:Instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) can present as frank dislocations, vague symptoms of lateral knee pain, discomfort during activity, or symptoms related to irritation of the common peroneal nerve. An accurate preoperative diagnosis is imperative and should include a trial of taping of the PTFJ for a 4- to 6-week time frame before surgical reconstruction is indicated. In the adolescent population, surgical planning can be complicated by the presence of open physes; therefore, caution must be taken to avoid drilling through or placing screw fixation across the physes. Potential complications include growth arrest and limb length discrepancy. Therefore, the purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the surgical technique for addressing PTFJ instability in adolescent patients.

Anatomic Reconstruction of the Proximal Tibiofibular Joint.

Project description:Proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) instability can be easily missed or confused for other, more common lateral knee pathologies such as meniscal tears, fibular collateral ligament injury, biceps femoris pathology, or iliotibial band syndrome. Because of this confusion, some authors believe that PTFJ instability is more common than initially appreciated. Patients with PTFJ subluxation may have no history of inciting trauma or injury, and it is not uncommon for these patients to have bilateral symptoms and generalized ligamentous laxity. Currently, the optimal surgical treatment for patients with chronic PTFJ instability is unknown. Historically, a variety of surgical treatments have been reported. Initially, joint arthrodesis and fibular head resection were recommended. More recently, temporary screw fixation, nonanatomic reconstruction with strips of the biceps femoris tendon or iliotibial band, and reconstruction with free hamstring autograft have been described. The purpose of this report is to present our surgical technique for treatment of chronic PTFJ instability using an anatomic reconstruction of the posterior ligamentous structures of the PTFJ with a semitendinosus autograft.

Opening-Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Varus knee malalignment caused by medial compartment arthritis results in progressive asymmetric wear of the tibiofemoral joint. This wear can cause progressively painful gonarthrosis. Surgical methods to address varus knee malalignment include lateral closing-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy, medial opening-wedge osteotomy, and arthroplasty. Medial opening-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy is an effective procedure for restoring proper coronal alignment and reducing knee pain. In this technical note, we present a reproducible technique for proximal tibial osteotomy.

Cortical Button Fixation for Proximal Tibiofibular Instability: A Technical Report.

Project description:Instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) is a rare injury pattern than can affect high-demand athletes involved in twisting or pivoting movements on a flexed knee. Instability may produce painful subluxations during provocative activity and occasional neuritic symptoms from tethering of the common peroneal nerve at the fibular neck. There are several reports of reconstruction for symptomatic PTFJ instability; however, no optimal treatment has been elucidated in the literature. Use of a cortical button suspensory device for fixation of the PTFJ offers the advantage of stabilizing the joint without need for free graft harvest or rigid screw fixation. The present technical report illustrates the operative technique and the advantages, disadvantages, pearls, and pitfalls associated with this operation.

Use of Fibula Nails With Proximal and Distal Fixation.

Project description:BackgroundAnkle fractures are a frequent injury in the adult population and a quarter of all ankle fractures are classified as unstable, requiring surgical intervention. Plate-and-screw construct is the traditionally used fixation method for fibula fractures. The use of an intramedullary nail is an alternative fixation method, with current literature supporting very low complication rates and hardware removal surgeries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes, including complication rates and implant removal rates, using a fibula nail with both proximal and distal fixation capabilities by an experienced surgeon.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 203 consecutive fibula nail cases from a single surgeon using a mini-open technique for anatomic reduction. Demographic, operative, clinical, and radiographic outcome data were analyzed, specifically examining complication rates and need for implant removal.ResultsThe average follow-up was 18.8 months (6-54 months). All fractures healed. We identified 2 cases of superficial wound infection, 1 superficial peroneal nerve irritation, and 1 case of implant removal. In the first 110 cases, 2 fractures were converted to a plate intraoperatively prior to a technique modification which has prevented this occurrence. No deep infection, delayed union, or nonunion occurred.ConclusionOur data support that fibula nails with proximal and distal locking capabilities offer an alternative to plating with the potential for lower complication rates and lower need for implant removal.Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series.

Anterior Proximal-to-Posterior Distal Oblique Proximal Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:High tibial osteotomy is a common procedure to address unicompartment knee osteoarthritis and other conditions. Regarding the specific surgical methods, medial open wedge osteotomy and lateral close wedge osteotomy are the most used. Both methods have a common disadvantage in that they are not so suitable to correct a severe deformity. Thus, we would like to introduce an anterior proximal-to-posterior distal oblique proximal tibial osteotomy technique, which is especially suitable to correct severe tibial deformity. The most critical point of this technique is to create an osteotomy plane from the most proximal posterior site of the tibial tubercle posteriorly and distally to the posterior cortex of the tibia, with each horizontal osteotomy maneuver in the coronal plane. Combined fibular osteotomy is always needed, and better results can be obtained when it is combined with arthroscopic debridement of the knee. We consider the introduction of this technique will provide a useful option when tibial osteotomy is needed to preserve the knee, especially for a great deformity correction.

Focal Dome Osteotomy for the Treatment of Diaphyseal Malunion of the Lower Extremity.

Project description:The treatment of malunion of the lower extremity diaphysis is challenging. Diaphyseal osteotomies require extra care to promote bone healing. This may be enhanced through osteotomies, which do not produce bone gaps and allow for compression. The focal dome osteotomy allows for rotation around an axis to correct angular deformity. The production of a successful arcuate or focal dome osteotomy requires a suitable soft tissue host. The deformity analysis is not complex but essential to assess the feasibility of correction and is required for perfect execution of the osteotomy. This tutorial explains the technique for focal dome osteotomy to correct angular deformities of the lower extremities, specifically in the diaphysis. Surgical correction for malunion, infected malunion, and infected mal-nonunion case examples are discussed. With meticulous planning and surgical technique, the focal dome osteotomy is a viable option for correcting diaphyseal malunions with compression techniques that allow a stable construct for early weight-bearing.

An Acute Oblique Osteotomy and Suture Ligation Procedure to Shorten the Fibula in Lateral Closing-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:The purpose of this description is to report an "acute oblique osteotomy and ligation" (AOOL) procedure to shorten the fibula in high tibial osteotomy (HTO). A 4-cm longitudinal skin incision is made at the lateral aspect of the leg. After the central portion of the fibula is circumferentially isolated from all the periosteal tissues, a simple osteotomy is performed at the mid-portion of the fibular diaphysis in the quasi-frontal plane, which is inclined by 25 to 30° to the long axis of the fibula. Two thin holes are created beside the osteotomy line on the lateral surface of the fibula. A polyester thread is passed through the 2 holes. After the HTO is completed, the surgeon easily reduces the displaced fibular ends using this thread. This thread is securely tied to keep the contact between the 2 osteotomized surfaces. The AOOL procedure is technically easy and safely performed. We believe that the AOOL procedure is clinically useful to shorten the fibular shaft in HTO.

Medial Opening Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Genu varus malalignment can lead to medial compartment overload and progression of ipsilateral compartment osteoarthritis. To slow this process, a medial opening wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) can be performed. This type of PTO is indicated in patients with genu varus malalignment and isolated medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee, prior to or concurrent with medial compartment cartilage procedures or meniscal transplants, chronic posterolateral corner deficiency, or chronic anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. When treating ligamentous instability, a PTO can be performed in isolation, with simultaneous ligament reconstruction, or as a staged procedure with the osteotomy first, followed by ligament reconstruction if instability persists. Failure to address malalignment in cases of concurrent ligament reconstruction leads to increased stress on the graft and potential graft failure. One distinct advantage of this procedure is the ability to correct deformities in the sagittal and coronal planes. The purpose of this article was to describe our technique used to perform a medial opening wedge PTO.
