A case of compression fracture of medial tibial plateau and medial femoral condyle combined with posterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner injury

We report a case of compression fracture of anterior margin of medial tibial plateau and medial femoral condyle combined with the posterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner disruption. A thirty-seven-year old male had undergone the left knee injury 6 months before. The physical examination revealed positive posterior drawer test and tibial dial test, which evidenced the posterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner insufficiency. The plain lateral knee radiographs showed a marginal fracture of the anteromedial tibial plateau and a dimpling on the adjacent part of the medial femoral condyle. On arthroscopy, there were no gross tear of the cruciates, but the posterolateral capsule disclosed stigmata of stretching injury with multiple petechiae and scarring. The compression fracture on the anteromedial side and the stretching injury on the posterolateral side altogether support the mechanism of hyperextension pivoting on the anteromedial side of the knee joint. A small bony lesion around the knee joint should be inspected rigorously with an assumed mechanism of injury for it may herald major ligamentous injury.     

保留前后交叉韧带人工全膝关节假体的胫骨近端解剖测量

背景：目前使用的保留前后叉韧带的假体仍存在诸多问题。改良和设计保留前后交叉韧带膝关节假体相关的形态测量,特别是胫骨近端未曾见到过详细的报道和研究。 目的：通过对正常膝关节三维数字化模型进行相关的胫骨近端形态学的分析,从而为改良和设计保留前后交叉韧带人工全膝关节假体提供参考。 方法：40例正常志愿者进行膝关节的CT及MRI扫描,然后将膝关节CT、MRI断层影像数据导入Mimics 10.01进行图像分割与三维重建,重建出完整的膝关节三维实体数字化模型后再导入Geomagic Studio 11,在膝关节模型上测量前后交叉韧带在胫骨近端解剖参数,模拟截骨后测量胫骨近端截骨面的解剖参数。 结果与结论：前后交叉韧带总的宽度为(14.94±2.56) mm,性别间比较提示男性需适当增加横向的截骨宽度以避免损伤前后交叉韧带。胫骨髁间棘顶部的长度为(8.02±1.03) mm,底部的长度为(15.19± 1.71) mm,截骨后高度(9.13±0.88) mm,而且此梯形结构位于前后径48%-82%。胫骨截骨面内侧的内外径短于外侧的内外径,内侧前后径大于外侧的前后径,因而保留前后交叉韧带的假体更需要非对称性的设计。     

Development of the human knee joint ligaments

ABSTRACT Background: Many studies have been published on the development of the human knee joint, but scant attention has been given to the development of the knee joint ligaments. The only elements that have received much attention are the cruciate ligaments and their relationships with the synovial membrane. Methods: We summarize our observations on the development of the knee joint ligaments in 50 serially sectioned human embryonic and fetal lower limbs (26 embryos and 24 fetuses). Results: The patellar ligament begins to form in O'Rahilly stage 20, with the muscle fibers of the quadriceps muscle being attached inferiorly to the tibial tuberosity. The cruciate ligaments (beginning with the posterior) arise from the articular interzone in O'Rahilly stage 21. Subsequently, with the organization of the Wrisberg's meniscofemoral ligament, in week 10 of development, the cruciate ligament system is completed. The lateral collateral ligament begins to form in O'Rahilly stage 23, and from its first appearance it is independent of the knee joint capsule. At this time, development of the tendon of the popliteus muscle begins. The medial collateral ligament begins to develop in week 9 of development as a condensation of the joint capsule. Two weeks later, the intra-articular pad of fat begins to form from mesenchymal tissue below the patella and between the cruciate and the patellar ligaments. With the organization of the suprapatellar bursa in week 14 of development, knee joint development is complete. Conclusions: The morphogenetic time table of the knee joint ligaments was established.

An initial qualitative study of dual-energy CT in the knee ligaments

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical application of dual-energy CT (DECT) in the knee ligaments. METHODS: Twelve cases (24 knees) were scanned using dual-energy CT for the knee. Two- and three-dimensional images were used for display in all cases by means of multi-planar reformation (MPR) and volume rendering technique (VRT). All images were ranked by two radiologists according to the grade of knee ligament displayed, the definition of edge and attachment points of the knee ligament. RESULTS: The partial ligaments of 24 knees, such as the patellar ligament, fibular collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) were clearly displayed; the tibial collateral ligament was not satisfactorily displayed. The transversal ligaments, such as lateral patellar retinaculum and medial patellar retinaculum, and the posterior ligament, such as oblique popliteal ligament could not be shown clearly. CONCLUSION: The dual-energy CT is a new and valuable tool to qualitatively display the main ligaments of the knee.     

An inconstant ligament in the popliteal region associated to the superior genicular arteries: surgical importance

Materials and methods In the dissection of 60 knees of 30 cadavers (13 women and 17 men), a ligament was located in the posterior femur face above the lateral or medial condyle.Results This ligamentous structure was found in 12 (20%) out of 60 knees studied (38% of the women and 35% of the men). It had a vertical arrangement and a constant direct relation to the superior (lateral or medial) genicular artery, and in no case it appeared as a posterior reinforcement of the capsule. The superior vessels were fixed by this ligament.Discussion This fixation may provide stability to the vascular tree but it could be a cause of post-surgical hemarthrosis in arthroscopy of the posterior knee area or in posterior or lateral knee approaches or it could be even implicated in vascular injury of the popliteal artery during knee dislocation.Conclusion The objective was to describe this inconstant ligament and to study its clinical relevance for surgical procedures, and particularly for those using the posterior approach to the knee joint.     

髌韧带血供及其在重建膝交叉韧带中的意义

目的：探讨髌韧带血供的特点,为临床交叉韧带移植重建提供应用解剖学资料。方法：通过对成人和胎儿下肢标本经股动脉红色乳胶灌注并解剖观察,以及胎儿墨汁灌注组织透明和组织切片等方法,观察髌韧带的动脉来源、分布特点,并测量胎儿韧带内微血管密度。结果：髌韧带的动脉来自膝下外动脉、胫前返动脉、膝降动脉和膝下内侧动脉的分支;胎儿髌韧带不同区域微血管密度不同,以韧带中心部位密度最低。结论：髌韧带中心部为相对乏血管区,对以髌韧带为替代物行交叉韧带重建有重要的临床意义。     

The transverse genicular ligament: anatomical study and review of the literature

There is scant information in the literature regarding the transverse genicular ligament. In order to elucidate further the anatomy and controversial function of this structure, we dissected 28 cadavers. This ligament was identified in 55% of knee joints. Morphometrically, we found a mean length and width of this ligament of 35.4 and 2.5 mm, respectively. Two (3.7%) specimens were found to have a duplicated ligament. The mean distance between the anterior attachment site of the anterior cruciate ligament onto the tibia to the transverse genicular ligament was 2.5 mm and the mean distance to this ligament to a midpoint of the tibial tuberosity was 40.5 mm The transverse genicular ligament was found to be slightly taut in extension and lax in flexion of the knee joint. Lateral and medial forces applied manually to the knee had no effect on this ligament. No tension was noted of the transverse genicular ligament with rotation of the knee. With transection of the ligament, no discernable difference in the integrity of the knee joint was observed. The mean tensile strength of this ligament was 67 N. Based on our study, the transverse genicular ligament plays a minimal part in the proper function of the knee joint. Moreover, with only approximately one-half of the knees in our study harboring this structure, one would expect a significant portion of the population to exhibit signs of biomechanical dysfunction of the knee joint which is not the case. This structure may represent a vestigal/insular part of the mesenchyme forming the menisci.     

The proximal attachments of the popliteus muscle: a quantitative study and clinical significance

Controversies about the existence of accessory proximal popliteus muscle attachments can be found in the literature. The aim of this study was to verify the occurrence and width of popliteus attachments on the articular and periarticular structures of the knee joint. The relation of these attachments to tibiofemoral cartilage and meniscus degeneration was also investigated. Forty-two anatomical specimens were dissected. The incidence of accessory proximal attachments was determined and their width measured using a caliper. The fibular attachment of the popliteus was observed in 98% of cases; its mean width was 11 (SD 3) mm. At least one attachment on the lateral meniscus was found in 95% of the specimens, with a mean width of 6 (SD 2) mm. Three types of meniscal attachments of the popliteus could be identified. The severity of meniscus and tibiofemoral cartilage alterations was significantly related to the number of meniscopopliteal fascicles: more severe alterations were seen in knees with fewer meniscopopliteal fascicles. Popliteus attachments on the posterior knee joint capsule (57%), arcuate (90%) and oblique popliteal (79%) ligaments were also observed in most specimens. Popliteus muscle relationships with the posterior cruciate (5%) and meniscofemoral (33%) ligament were less common. In conclusion, accessory popliteus attachments on the fibula, lateral meniscus and arcuate popliteal ligament can be considered constant characteristics. The results of this study suggest a role of the popliteus in the protection of knee menisci and tibiofemoral cartilage.     

Graft position at the femoral condyle affects knee mobility after posterior cruciate ligament replacement

BackgroundIn some cases posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears require surgical reconstruction. As the femoral footprint of the ligament is quite large, an ideal graft fixation position on the medial notch wall has not yet been identified. The aim of this study was to compare three different graft fixation positions within the anatomical footprint of the PCL and test it for posterior tibial translation at different knee flexion angles.MethodsIn six human knee specimens a drawer test was simulated on a material testing machine by applying load on the tibia. At three different knee flexion angles (0°, 45°, 90°) knee mobility was examined with respect to tibial posterior translation and stiffness for the following conditions: intact ligaments, detached PCL, three different graft fixation positions on the femoral condyle.ResultsReplacement of the PCL within its femoral footprint restored knee stability in terms of tibial posterior translation. Low graft position showed comparable drawer displacements to the intact condition for all knee flexion angles (p > 0.344). A higher graft position excessively reduced the posterior translation (p < 0.047) and resulted in a restricted knee mobility and a stiffer joint.ConclusionsGraft fixation positions on the femoral condyle play a crucial role in post-operative knee mobility and joint functionality after PCL replacement. Even though all graft fixation positions were placed within the femoral footprint of a native PCL, only the lower position on the medial notch wall showed comparable posterior tibial translation to an intact PCL.

人工韧带修复膝关节交叉韧带损伤

背景：以往治疗膝关节交叉韧带损伤的主要手段是移植重建,最常用的移植材料为自体的骨髌腱骨、半腱肌腱和股薄肌腱。但由于此类移植物存在取材区并发症及韧带化过程中的各种问题,近年来人工韧带的研究受到重视。 目的：认识膝关节交叉韧带的结构及血供特点,以及膝关节交叉韧带损伤后人工韧带重建治疗机制与临床应用特点。 方法：①分析膝关节前、后交叉韧带的组织结构,功能学特点以及血供差异。②分析膝关节前、后交叉韧带损伤的类型及生物力学机制。③分析修复膝关节交叉韧带损伤的材料学分类及特点。④分析人工韧带修复后影响关节稳定性的因素。 结果与结论：修复膝关节前、后交叉韧带损伤时,应首先考虑到前、后交叉韧带的功能及血供情况,选择合适的重建物,使重建时过程简化,操作简单,重建材料的组织相容性较好,达到修复后的解剖与功能的双重建。

Structure and vascularization of the cruciate ligaments of the human knee joint

The structure and vascularization of the human anterior and posterior cruciate ligament were investigated by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, injection techniques and by immunohistochemistry. The major part of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament is composed of bundles of type I collagen. Type III collagen-positive fibrils separate the bundles. The major cell type is the elongated fibroblast, lying solitarily between the parallel collagen fibrils. The histologic structure of the cruciate ligaments is not homogeneous. In both ligaments there is a zone where the tissue resembles fibrocartilage. In the anterior cruciate ligament the fibrocartilaginous zone is located 5–10 mm proximal of the tibial ligament insertion in the anterior portion of the ligament. In the posterior cruciate ligament the fibrocartilage is located in the central part of the middle third. Within those zones the cells are arranged in columns and the cell shape is round to ovoid. Transmission electron microscopy reveals typical features of chondrocytes. The chondrocytes are surrounded by a felt-like pericellular matrix, a high content of cellular organelles and short processes on the cell surface. The pericellular collagen is positive for type II collagen. The major blood supply of the cruciate ligaments arises from the middle geniculate artery. The distal part of both cruciate ligaments is vascularized by branches of the lateral and medial inferior geniculate artery. Both ligaments are surrounded by a synovial fold where the terminal branches of the middle and inferior arteries form a periligamentous network. From the synovial sheath blood vessels penetrate the ligament in a horizontal direction and anastomose with a longitudinally orientated intraligamentous vascular network. The density of blood vessels within the ligaments is not homogeneous. In the anterior cruciate ligament an avascular zone is located within the fibrocartilage of the anterior part where the ligament faces the anterior rim of the intercondylar fossa. The fibrocartilaginous zone of the middle third of the posterior cruciate ligament is also avascular. According to Pauwel’s theory of the ”causal histogenesis” (1960) the stimulus for the development of fibrocartilage within dense connective tissue is shearing and compressive stress. In the anterior cruciate ligament this biomechanical situation may occur when the ligament impinges on the anterior rim of the intercondylar fossa when the knee is fully extended. Compressive and shearing stress in the center of the middle third of the posterior cruciate ligament may result from twisting of the fiber bundles. Accepted: 12 March 1999
