A Surgical Technique for Tibial Tubercle Avulsion Fractures Using Transpatellar Suture Tape Tension Band and De-tensioning Suture Anchors.

This article aims to present a comprehensive technical note detailing our preferred treatment approach for tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures in the adult and elderly populations, particularly in scenarios characterized by low tissue quality and limited bone stock. Existing literature on this fracture type is scarce, with many described techniques relying on optimal bone quality for effective screw fixation of the tibial tuberosity. Various methods for tibial tuberosity avulsion fixation include K-wires, cannulated screws, staples, tension bands, suture anchors, and in select cases, direct transosseous sutures.

Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis With Cortical Suspensory Femoral Fixation and Suture Tape Augmentation.

This article aims to provide a new surgical technique for rotational instability in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Two main groups of surgical procedures can be identified in the treatment of anterolateral knee instability: lateral extra-articular tenodesis and anterolateral ligament reconstruction. Although the importance of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in anterolateral complex injuries is well known, the superiority of lateral extra-articular tenodesis over anterolateral ligament reconstruction or vice versa has not yet been shown.

The pie-crust surgical technique for medial collateral ligament release: enhancing visualization of the medial compartment in knee arthroscopy.

This study presents a comprehensive surgical technique for performing a 'pie-crust' release of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) to enhance visualization of the medial compartment during arthroscopic knee procedures. The primary objective of this research is to improve the precision of diagnosis and treatment for injuries specifically affecting the posterior horn and posterior root of the medial meniscus. Arthroscopic knee procedures have become increasingly common in orthopedic surgery, offering the advantage of minimally invasive techniques for treating a wide range of knee conditions.
