RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To describe rates of conversion to unicompartmental or total knee arthroplasty (KA) in patients over the age of 40 years (at initial surgery) after partial meniscectomy (ME) or meniscal repair (MR). METHODS: Patients over the age of 40 undergoing isolated ME or MR between 2016 and 2018 were extracted from a single healthcare provider database. Data on patient characteristics, type of initial surgery, number of returns to the operating room, as well as performed procedures, including conversion to KA, were recorded. Comparative group statistics as well as a Kaplan-Meier survival rate analysis were performed. RESULTS: A total of 3638 patients (47.8% female) were included, with 3520 (96.8%) undergoing ME and 118 (3.2%) MR. Overall, 378 (10.4%) patients returned to the OR at an average of 22.7 ± 17.3 months postoperatively. Conversion to KA was performed more frequently in patients after primary ME (n = 270, 7.7%) compared to those with MR (2.5%, n = 3, odds ratio [OR]: 3.2, p = 0.03). Compared to ME (2.3%, n = 82), two times as many patients undergoing MR returned for subsequent meniscus surgery (MR: 5.9%, n = 7, OR: 2.6, p = 0.02). Time from primary surgery to KA (ME: 22 ± 17 months, MR: 25 ± 15 months, p = 0.96) did not differ between the treatment groups. Survivorship was 95% for ME and 98.2% for MR after 24 months (p = 0.76) and 92.5% and 98.2% after 60 months (p = 0.07), respectively. CONCLUSION: The overall reoperation rate after meniscal surgery was 10.4% in patients over the age of 40 years. Patients treated with primary ME have over three times higher odds to undergo subsequent KA compared to those treated with MR. However, patients with primary MR have a higher rate of subsequent meniscus surgery compared to those undergoing primary ME. This information is important when considering and treating a patient over the age of 40 and meniscal injury. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III study.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the rate of stiffness after multi-ligament knee injury (MLKI) surgery and identify potential risk factors associated with postoperative stiffness. METHODS: This study was conducted in accordance with the 2020 PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Registration was done on the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42022321849). A literature search of PubMed, Ovid, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted in October 2022 for clinical studies reporting postoperative stiffness after MLKI surgery. A quality assessment was performed using the Methodological Index of Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) grading system. The following variables were extracted from studies for correlation to postoperative stiffness: study characteristics, cohort demographics, Schenk classification, neurovascular injury, mechanism of injury, external fixator placement, timing of surgery, and concomitant knee injuries. RESULTS: Thirty-six studies comprising 4,159 patients who underwent MLKI surgery met the inclusion criteria, including two Level-II, fourteen Level-III, and twenty Level-IV studies. The average MINOR score of the studies was 14. The stiffness rate after MLKI was found to be 9.8% (95% CI 0.07-0.13; p < 0.01; I2 = 87%), and the risk of postoperative stiffness was significantly lower for patients with two ligaments injured compared to patients with ≥ 3 ligaments injured (OR = 0.45, 95% CI (0.26-0.79), p = 0.005; I2 = 0%). The results of the pooled analysis showed early surgery (< 3 weeks) resulted in significantly increased odds of postoperative stiffness compared with delayed surgery (≥ 3 weeks) (OR = 2.18; 95% CI 1.11-4.25; p = 0.02; I2 = 0%). However, age, gender, body mass index, energy of injury, and neurovascular injury were not associated with an increased risk of postoperative stiffness (n.s.). CONCLUSION: Performing surgery within the first 3 weeks following MLKI, or concomitant injury of ≥ 3 ligaments, are significantly associated with increased risk of postoperative stiffness. These findings can be utilized by surgeons to decide the timing of surgery for MLKI surgeries especially in which ≥ 3 ligaments are injured. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Variations in femoral and tibial bony morphology have been associated with higher clinical grading and increased quantitative tibial translation, but not tibial acceleration, during the pivot shift test following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of femoral and tibial bony morphology, including a measurement influenced by both parameters (the Lateral Tibiofemoral Articular Distance (LTAD)), on the degree of quantitative tibial acceleration during the pivot shift test and rates of future ACL injury. METHODS: All patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction from 2014 to 2019 by a senior orthopedic surgeon with available quantitative tibial acceleration data were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent a pivot shift examination under anesthesia with a triaxial accelerometer. Measurements of femoral and tibial bony morphology were performed by two fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and lateral radiographs. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients were included at a mean follow-up of 4.4 years. The mean quantitative tibial acceleration during the pivot shift was 13.8 m/s2 (range: 4.9-52.0 m/s2). A larger Posterior Condylar Offset Ratio (r = 0.30, p = 0.045), smaller medial-to-lateral width of the medial tibial plateau (r = - 0.29, p = 0.041), lateral tibial plateau (r = - 0.28, p = 0.042), and lateral femoral condyle (r = - 0.29, p = 0.037), and a decreased LTAD (r = - 0.53, p < 0.001) significantly correlated with increased tibial acceleration during the pivot shift. Linear regression analysis demonstrated an increase in tibial acceleration of 1.24 m/s2 for every 1 mm decrease in LTAD. Nine patients (17.6%) sustained ipsilateral graft rupture and 10 patients (19.6%) sustained contralateral ACL rupture. No morphologic measurements were associated with rates of future ACL injury. CONCLUSION: Increased convexity and smaller bony morphology of the lateral femur and tibia were significantly associated with increased tibial acceleration during the pivot shift. Additionally, a measurement, termed the LTAD, was found to have the strongest association with increased tibial acceleration. Based on the results of this study, surgeons can utilize these measurements to preoperatively identify patients at risk of increased rotatory knee instability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence and risk factors associated with loss of motion after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19). METHODS: A retrospective review of patients undergoing primary ACLR between March 2017 and November 2022 by a senior high-volume orthopaedic surgeon was performed. Exclusion criteria included revision ACLR, multiligamentous knee surgery, and age <14 years. The COVID-19 group was categorized according to the United States Centers for Disease Control Public Health Emergency declaration dates (January 31, 2020-May 11, 2023). To minimize confounding variables associated with the early stages of COVID-19, patients who underwent ACLR between December 1, 2019 and February 29, 2020 were excluded. Loss of motion was defined using the International Knee Documentation Committee criteria for loss of motion of the knee (i.e. an extension deficit >5° or flexion deficit >15° compared to the contralateral knee) 3-12 months after ACLR or as requiring surgery to restore motion within 12 months of ACLR. RESULTS: A total of 336 individuals who underwent 352 primary ACLRs (164 pre-COVID-19, 188 during COVID-19) were included (mean age: 25.2 â€‹± â€‹10.6 years, 44% female). The overall rate of postoperative loss of motion was 15% (n = 53), and 9% (n = 31) required surgery to restore motion within 12 months of ACLR. More patients underwent surgery for loss of motion during COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19, which was statistically significant (12% (n = 23) vs 5% (n = 8), respectively, P = 0.02). However, a statistically significant difference in the rate of loss of motion was not detected (18% (n = 33) vs 12% (n = 20), respectively, P = 0.16). A statistically significant increased median time from injury to ACLR was observed during COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19 (55 vs 37 days, P <0.01). More patients were unable to achieve terminal extension (0°) at minimum 9 months postoperatively during COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19 (10% vs 3%, P = 0.04) and motion was worse at this interval (0°-136° vs -2°-138°, P <0.01). CONCLUSION: Surgery for loss of motion following ACLR was more common during COVID-19. Decreased access to elective medical care, changed activity level, psychological effects, or COVID-19 itself may explain the increased rate of surgery for loss of motion during COVID-19. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Case series; level IV.

RESUMEN

IMPORTANCE: Anterolateral augmentation during primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) may lower rates of ACL graft failure. However, differences in costs between two techniques, lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR), are unclear. OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review and subsequent cost-effectiveness analysis comparing LET versus ALLR in the setting of primary ACLR. The hypothesis was that LET is more cost-effective than ALLR. EVIDENCE REVIEW: A systematic review was conducted on studies in which patients underwent primary ACLR with a concomitant LET or ALLR with minimum 24 months follow-up published between January 2013 and July 2023. Primary outcomes included ACL graft failure rates and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Survey-Quality of Life (KOOS-QoL) subscale scores, which were used to determine health utilities measured by quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained. A decision tree model with one-way and two-way sensitivity analyses compared the cost of primary ACLR with a concomitant LET, independent autograft ALLR, or independent allograft ALLR. Costs were estimated using a combination of QALYs, institution prices, literature references, and a survey sent to 49 internationally recognized high-volume knee surgeons. FINDINGS: A total of 2505 knees undergoing primary ACLR with concomitant LET (n=1162) or ALLR (n=1343) were identified from 22 studies. There were 77 total ACL graft failures with comparable failure rates between patients receiving LET versus ALLR (2.9% vs. 3.2%, P=0.690). The average QALYs gained was slightly higher for those who received LET (0.77) compared to ALLR (0.75). Survey results revealed a 5 minute longer median self-reported operative time for ALLR (20 â€‹min) than LET (15 â€‹min). The estimated costs for LET, autograft ALLR, and allograft ALLR were $1,015, $1,295, and $3,068, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Anterolateral augmentation during primary ACLR with LET is more cost-effective than independent autograft and allograft ALLR given the lower costs and comparable clinical outcomes. Surgeons may utilize this information when determining the optimal approach to anterolateral augmentation during primary ACLR, although differences in preferred technique and health care systems may influence operative efficiency and material costs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Systematic review; Level of evidence, IV.

RESUMEN

Meniscus tears are prevalent in isolation and in combination with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Meniscus lesions can be difficult to access and often display complex tear patterns, which result in technical challenges for the operating surgeon during surgical treatment. The aim of this video article is to demonstrate technical tips and tricks for performing all-inside repair of challenging meniscus tears. The presented techniques are indicated in young, physically active patients with symptomatic tears of the lateral and medial menisci, with or without concomitant ACL injury. The procedure is performed using standard anterolateral and anteromedial arthroscopic portals for direct visualization of complex meniscus tear patterns and all-inside instrument access. A suture passing device is used for the placement of suture loops for meniscus root repair. All-inside repair devices are used to repair the radial meniscal tears along the native circumferential fibers using a horizontal mattress suture configuration, with curved devices to achieve optimal access to challenging tears affecting the anterior and posterior aspects at the mid-body of the meniscus. Repair of radial tears at the avascular zone of the meniscus may be augmented with an autologous fibrin clot delivered using an arthroscopic cannula.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Peroneal tendon subluxation is a rare pathology, generally associated with sport-induced trauma, that occurs due to the rupture of the superior peroneal retinaculum. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, but the use of imaging techniques, such as dynamic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, may contribute to its clarification. Treatment may be conservative or surgical, although there is no consensus on the most appropriate technique to be employed. We report a case of subluxation of the peroneus brevis tendon, with no apparent traumatic cause, in which there was a need for a surgical approach after the failure of conservative treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 25-year-old White woman presented pain and locking of the lateral side of the left foot 2 years earlier, with no history of trauma. The patient felt pain upon palpation and presented snapping during flexion-extension of the left ankle. On dynamic ultrasonography, an anterior subluxation of the peroneus brevis tendon occurred when the ankle was in dorsiflexion, suggesting superior peroneal retinaculum injury. Surgical correction was recommended after 2 months of conservative treatment with no improvement. The chosen surgical technique was isolated reattachment of the superior peroneal retinaculum, which proved successful. CONCLUSIONS: Peroneal tendon subluxation has no established preferred surgical technique. This case demonstrates superior peroneal retinaculum repair as an efficient surgical approach for this condition. Furthermore, the atraumatic mechanism of injury in this case, along with the unknown true incidence of peroneal tendon subluxation, highlights the need to consider this pathology in cases of ankle injuries.
