Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction Using Biologic and Suture Fixation

Presented in this report is a modified arthroscopic approach to acromioclavicular joint reconstruction via suture and allograft fixation. An arthroscopic approach is used to expose the base of the coracoid by use of electrocautery. After an open distal clavicle excision is performed, clavicular and coracoid tunnels are created under arthroscopic visualization as previously described by Wolf and Pennington. The myotendinous end of a semitendinosus allograft is sutured to a Spider plate (Kinetikos Medical, San Diego, CA). The tendinous end of the graft is prepared with a running baseball stitch. A Nitinol wire with a loop end (Arthrex, Naples, FL) is used to pass 2 free FiberTape sutures (Arthrex) and the leading sutures from the tendinous end of the graft through the clavicular and coracoid tunnels, exiting out the anterior portal. One of the FiberTape sutures is retrieved with a grasper and passed over the anterior aspect of the distal clavicle. The second FiberTape suture and the allograft are passed over the distal end of the resected clavicle. While the acromioclavicular joint is held reduced, the FiberTape sutures are tied to the plate and the allograft is tensioned medially until the plate is embedded against the superior surface of the clavicle. The tendinous end of the graft is secured to the superior surface of the clavicle with a Bio-tenodesis screw (Arthrex) medial to the clavicular tunnel.     

Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction Using Peroneus Brevis Tendon Allograft

We describe the use of a double-strand peroneus brevis allograft to reconstruct the coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular (AC) joint ligaments. Through sharp dissection, the distal clavicle, the AC joint, and the torn superior AC and coracoacromial ligaments are identified. The coracoid process and injured coracoclavicular ligaments are identified with blunt dissection. A 1-cm segment of the lateral clavicle is resected. Vertical and connecting horizontal tunnels are created (4.5 mm) in the lateral clavicle and in the medial acromion process. The 5.5- to 6.0-mm-diameter allograft is looped around the coracoid process, and both strands are passed through the vertical clavicle tunnel with a nitinol wire loop. One strand passes through the vertical clavicle tunnel, and the other strand passes through the horizontal tunnel, exiting through the lateral end. The allograft strand passed through the vertical clavicle tunnel is then passed inferiorly through the superior vertical acromion tunnel, and the strand passed completely through the horizontal clavicle tunnel is passed laterally through the medial horizontal acromion tunnel. After both strands exit inferiorly through the vertical acromion tunnel, they are tensioned and sutured with AC joint reduction. Soft tissue closure uses No. 0 and No. 2-0 absorbable sutures with No. 3-0 nylon sutures at the skin.

微创内固定系统在膝关节周围复杂骨折治疗中的应用

目的探讨AO微创内固定系统(less invasive stab ilization system,LISS)治疗膝关节周围复杂骨折的效果。方法2004年4月~2005年6月对15例干骺端闭合性膝关节周围复杂骨折(左侧9例,右侧6例),分别应用股骨远端LISS或胫骨近端LISS行内固定治疗。结果15例随访5~26个月,平均13.2月。完全负重时间为12~26周,X线骨愈合时间11~24周,无延迟愈合及骨不连。浅表感染1例,皮肤水疱2例,经换药后愈合。无深部感染及皮肤坏死,无骨筋膜室综合征。Johner-W ruhs方法评价功能优11例、良3例、中1例,以优良为满意标准,本组满意率为93.3%(14/15)。1例C3型胫骨平台骨折在术后2周出现胫骨内侧骨块明显移位伴髁间分离,二次手术在胫骨平台内侧加以支撑钢板固定,术后20周骨折愈合,功能评价为良;1例C3型胫骨平台骨折在术后8周出现膝内翻(胫骨平台内翻角为82°),术后20周骨折愈合,功能评价为中。结论LISS适用于单处股骨远端、胫骨近端骨折及骨质疏松性股骨干远端骨折的治疗;对于胫骨平台C3型骨折内侧平台粉碎严重时,不能过分依赖LISS系统,或将接骨板置于内侧,而应该考虑在内侧辅助支撑钢板。     

微创固定系统治疗膝关节周围复杂骨折

目的应用微创固定系统(less invasive stabilizing system,LISS)治疗膝关节周围复杂骨折,探讨其手术适应证及疗效。方法2003年12月至2004年6月应用LISS技术治疗膝关节周围复杂骨折41例,男29例,女12例;年龄24￣67岁,平均40.6岁。胫骨近端骨折28例,股骨远端骨折13例。多发伤22例(53.7%),陈旧性骨折6例(14.6%),翻修手术1例。新鲜骨折均采用关节面切开复位、干骺端闭合复位及经皮钢板固定技术;陈旧性骨折及翻修手术采用有限切开及经皮钢板固定技术。结果单侧LISS手术时间平均87.2min。全部病例随访13～21个月,平均16个月。3例股骨远端骨缺损患者平均于术后21.3周(19～24周)行植骨术,植骨术后22.3周(18～24周)骨折愈合。其余患者愈合时间平均15.1周(11～23周),完全负重时间平均16.8周(12～25周)。术中发生螺钉脱落1例,提拉复位装置断裂1例,工具断裂1例,螺钉未能按计划置入2例。术后发生关节面复位丢失1例,无感染、内固定松动、断裂及失败病例。按照Rasmussen骨折复位评分标准,优31例、良10例。术后1年关节活动范围2.4°～95.6°。术后1年HSS评分平均88.4分(58～98分),其中优27例、良10例、中3例、差1例,优良率90.2%。结论LISS为膝关节周围复杂骨折提供了一种新的治疗方法,特别是对常规方法难以处理的骨折。但其手术理念及手术技术与传统手术不同,还需要一定病例与随访的积累才能确定其疗效。     

针刀配合膝关节间断主动活动治疗膝关节强直

膝关节强直是膝关节及关节周围创伤、关节炎晚期及手术后的严重并发症,同时伴有髌骨活动度严重减少甚至消失.病理多为髌上囊及两侧沟的广泛粘连,部分患者伴有关节外结构的挛缩.物理治疗几乎无效、开放性手术切开松解及关节镜下松解创伤大,出血多,存在再粘连的可能性,手术并发症多,一次手术失败,没有再次松解的机会.我院自1997年8月-2002年3月,应用针刀闭合松解加关节间断主动活动治疗严重膝关节粘连52例疗效满意.……     

手术治疗外展外旋力所致踝关节骨折

手术治疗外展外旋力引起的踝关节骨折３５例，平均随访２年半，满意率为８８．６％。效果不佳者与软组织损伤严重和关节软骨受损有关。恢复腓骨的长度对防止距骨移位与倾斜十分重要。用钢板固定外踝时要使其下端适应腓骨下段的外翻角。下胫腓联合不论是完全还是不全分离，都应用螺钉固定，以增加踝关节稳定性，早期练习活动。三角韧带断裂时，只要腓骨解剖复位与坚强固定，三角韧带可不予修复。对小于胫骨远端关节面２５％的后踝骨折可不予处理。
