Portal Placement

Objectives The purpose of this study was to describe an arthroscopic surgical approach to identify and expose the popliteus tendon (PT), posterior fibular head, Fibular collateral ligament (FCL), popliteal fibular ligament (PFL), biceps femoris tendon, and the peroneal nerve. Methods 10 fresh human cadaveric knees were examined arthroscopically using standard anterior and posterior portals. The use of a transeptal approach with both posteromedial and posterolateral portals was required using a standard 30 degrees arthroscope. Optimal portal placement and specific technique and sequence for appropriate visualization of the PLC structures were tested and documented. Results In all specimens, all the PLC structures that we attempted to identify were successfully visualized. These included the PT, posterior fibular head, the FCL, the PFL, biceps femoris tendon, peroneal nerve, PT and FCL femoral attachments. Conclusion This study demonstrated that the identification and exposure of the PLC structures using an all arthroscopic approach can be successfully performed with precise portal placement. This technique may serve as a basis for arthroscopic treatment of PLC injuries.

Optimal Visualization

Chapter 124 discusses US scanning of the knee, which is commonly performed for assessment of superficial knee structures, such as the extensor mechanism tendons and collateral ligaments, as well as identification of Baker cysts or prepatellar bursae. Dynamic US evaluation, such as flexion/extension of the knee or varus/valgus stress maneuvers, may improve diagnostic performance and further characterize severity of tendon or ligamentous injury and ligament incompetence. US examination may be comprehensive or focused, with constant modification of patient and probe positioning to allow for optimal visualization of the knee structures. Common US artifacts, such as anisotropy of the extensor tendons or heterogeneous appearance of the distal joined attachment of the lateral collateral ligament proper and the distal biceps femoris tendon, should not be mistaken for pathology. Although parameniscal cysts can be readily identified by US, there is ongoing controversy regarding the role of US in evaluation of meniscal tears.

Bone/lateral collateral ligament/bone preparations were tested and structural mechanical properties compared to properties of cranial cruciate ligament in 15 dogs. The lateral collateral ligament has sufficient stiffness to provide stifle joint stability and strength to resist acute overload following fibular head transposition.

Biceps Femoris Tendon

Chronic menstrual dysfunction and low female sex hormones adversely affect muscular performance in women but studies in college athletes are scarce. A cohort of 18 Japanese, female college athletes at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, were recruited and studied over 3 weeks under 2 conditions. One group had normal menstrual cycling (CYC, 9 athletes) while the other had irregular cycles (DYS, 9 athletes). Hormones and creatine kinase (CK) were measured from blood under both rest (RE) and exercise (EX) conditions. Biceps femoris tendon stiffness was measured by myometry. No differences in age, height, weight, menarche age, or one-repetition maximum weight existed between the groups. The DYS group had persistently low levels of estrogen and progesterone. In the CYC group, the CK level significantly increased at each point immediately post-exercise and 24 h post-exercise compared to pre-exercise in Weeks 1 and 2, and significantly increased at 24 h post-exercise compared to pre-exercise status in Week 3. The DYS group was significantly different only between pre-exercise and 24 h post-exercise over all 3 weeks. The DYS group also suffered from higher biceps femoris tendon stiffness at 24 h post-exercise. Chronic menstrual irregularities in Japanese college athletes increase muscle damage markers in the bloodstream and muscle stiffness after acute strength training.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to report the outcome in a 6-year-old male English Setter dog that suffered a combination of divergent elbow dislocation and open distal ulnar fracture. This study is a case report. After surgical reduction in the elbow luxation, the dog was treated with the TightRope fixation system used as replacement of the lateral collateral ligament, a radioulnar positional screw, and external skeletal fixation. Removal of all implants was performed 3 months postoperatively. The 6-month follow-up visit found the dog without lameness, displaying normal activity, and with normal elbow range of motion and normal Campbell's test. Successful surgical management was achieved with good long-term results using TightRope, a positional screw, and an external skeletal fixator.

The Right

A 24-year-old right-handed man suffered right olecranon and lateral epicondylar fracture from high energy trauma. Fixation of olecranon was performed by a previous doctor. Three months after operation, he presented with limited range of motion (ROM) of the right elbow caused by malunion of the lateral epicondylar fracture and subluxation of the radiohumeral joint. Preoperative ROM of the right elbow was flexion 110° and extension −75°. Forearm rotation was pronation 85° and supination 65°. Fragment excision of the lateral epicondyle, which was 27 mm in length, and lateral collateral ligament repair using anchors were performed. Fourteen months postoperatively, contracture release of the elbow was performed. Twenty-four months postoperatively, radiograph of the elbow showed normal congruence without osteoarthritic changes and the ROM of the right elbow was flexion 120° and extension −35°. Forearm rotation was pronation 90° and supination 70°. In the surgical setting, in case of the size of the lateral epicondylar fragment is relatively large, the fragment should be fixed or lateral collateral ligament should be repaired when the instability of the elbow is found.
