Concurrent Needle and Standard Arthroscopy for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

ABSTRACT: Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a technically demanding procedure, particularly with respect to tibial footprint debridement and tibial tunnel placement, where iatrogenic damage to anatomic structures is a well reported complication and incorrect tunnel placement can have functional implications. Preparation of the tibial component often involves switching between 30° and 70° arthroscopes and frequent portal swapping and reorientation, which can be inefficient and time-consuming. As the technology and picture resolution of needle arthroscopy has improved, its clinical application has widened. This manuscript describes the use of needle arthroscopy-assisted arthroscopic PCL reconstruction for optimal visualization of the PCL tibial footprint using an accessory posterolateral portal, while obviating the need of both 30° and 70° arthroscopes. Technique Video Video 1 This video demonstrates the technique of needle arthroscopy-assisted arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction employing an accessory posterolateral portal on a patient in the supine position with a left knee grade III PCL injury, as performed by the senior author.

Nanoscopic-Assisted Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Knee arthroscopy has allowed us to continue performing surgeries that are minimally invasive and allow patients to have a quick recovery. Multiligamentous knee reconstruction with regards to the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament can be done in a minimally invasive matter. Visualization is an issue during this surgery, especially looking in the posterior compartment of the knee. The NanoScope (Arthrex, Naples, FL) continues to provide increased possibilities for orthopaedic surgeons. Our technique provides a less-invasive way to observe the posterior compartment to assist the drilling of the tibial tunnel during the posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This technique provides distinct advantages over other treatments.

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.

Percutaneous Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Needle Arthroscopy and Biological Augmentation.

Project description:Recent advancements in orthopaedic devices have instilled a renewed interest in repair of the anterior cruciate ligament. Biological augmentation of the repair has also recently been investigated with the hopes of improving repair outcomes and improving biological healing. The advent of needle arthroscopy allows for potentially decreased recovery times and potentially reduced complication rates compared with traditional arthroscopy. The purpose of this article is to present a percutaneous technique to repair the anterior cruciate ligament with suture tape augmentation while also augmenting with the biological byproducts from the native effusion using needle arthroscopy.

Posterior Oblique Ligament Repair Concomitant to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:The associated lesion of the posterior oblique ligament (POL) in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament rupture is quite frequent due to the same rotational mechanism. The diagnosis of POL lesions is challenging, and physical examination is delicate; moreover, they can be easily missed on magnetic resonance imaging. Once recognized, POL lesions must be repaired to restore posteromedial corner kinematics. The aim of this Technical Note is to present a safe and effective method for POL repair in the set of an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Transmedial All-inside TriLink Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries usually constitute part of a multiligament injury. Isolated PCL injuries account for only approximately 3% of all ligament injuries. No consensus on optimal surgical reconstruction exists. The PCL is a double-bundle structure that functions in an anisometric manner. Biomechanical studies have shown that re-creating the PCL femoral double-bundle configuration provides greater stability. We present a 3-socket approach for an anatomic "all-inside" double-bundle PCL reconstruction using our preferred option of a FiberTape (Arthrex, Naples, FL)-reinforced peroneus longus allograft fashioned to create a trifurcate graft: the TriLink technique. Cortical suspensory fixation devices are used, allowing differential tensioning of the anterolateral and posteromedial bundles. This enables more accurate replication of the native PCL and its biomechanical properties.

Postless Tape Augmentation for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Many techniques have been described for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, but residual laxity remains an ongoing challenge. Suture or tape augmentation during ligament reconstruction has become a popular option to prevent graft elongation but comes at the expense of additional costs due to implants for augment fixation, and concern for stress shielding of the graft if the augment and graft are not equally tensioned. We introduce a technique for postless tape augmentation during allograft PCL reconstruction that allows for equal tensioning of graft and augment through the use of a sheath and screw construct without the need for additional implants for augment fixation.

Global variation in isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Project description:PurposeIn the setting of persistent instability or failed non-operative management, surgical reconstruction is commonly recommended for isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears. The purpose of this study was to systematically review published studies to evaluate regional variation in the epidemiology of and surgical approaches to primary, isolated PCL reconstruction.MethodsA systematic review was performed in June 2022 to identify studies examining operative techniques during primary, isolated PCL reconstruction. Collected variables consisted of reconstruction technique, graft type, graft source, tibial reconstruction technique, femoral and tibial drilling and fixation methods, and whether the remnant PCL was preserved or debrided. Studies were classified into four global regions: Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.ResultsForty-five studies, consisting of 1461 total patients, were identified. Most of the included studies were from Asia (69%, n = 31/45). Single bundle reconstruction was more commonly reported in studies out of Asia, Europe, and North America. Hamstring autografts were utilized in 51.7% (n = 611/1181) of patients from Asia and 60.8% (n = 124/204) of patients from Europe. Trans-tibial drilling and outside-in femoral drilling were commonly reported in all global regions. The PCL remnant was generally debrided, while remnant preservation was commonly reported in studies from Asia.ConclusionSurgical treatment of isolated PCL injuries varies by region, with the majority of published studies coming from Asia. Single-bundle reconstruction with hamstring autograft through a trans-tibial approach is the most commonly reported technique in the literature, with males reported to undergo isolated reconstruction more often than females.Level of evidenceSystematic review, Level IV.

All-Inside Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: GraftLink Technique.

Project description:Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries account for nearly 20% of knee ligament injuries. PCL injuries can occur in isolation or, more commonly, in the setting of multiligamentous knee injuries. Isolated PCL disruptions are commonly treated nonoperatively; however, symptomatic grade III injuries, as well as PCL injuries found in multiligamentous injuries, are frequently treated surgically. Several reconstructive techniques exist for the treatment of PCL deficiency without a clear optimal approach. We describe our preferred operative technique to reconstruct the PCL using an all-inside arthroscopic approach with a quadrupled tibialis anterior or peroneus longus allograft with both tibial and femoral suspensory fixation.

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.
