AI Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous repair is an effective and safe approach for treating acute Achilles tendon ruptures, showing fewer wound complications than traditional open surgery.
- The novel technique involves five small skin incisions that strategically minimize nerve injury risk and uses 16 suture threads with an external knot to enhance strength and reduce re-rupture chances.
- Further clinical studies are needed to determine if this new cruciate suture method leads to improved outcomes compared to existing percutaneous repair methods.
Article Abstract
Percutaneous repair is a safe and reliable method to restore continuity after acute Achilles tendon ruptures, with a lower incidence of wound complications compared to open techniques. We describe a novel percutaneous cruciate suture performed through 5 stab skin incisions, four of which are longitudinal and parallel to the course of the sural nerve to minimize the risk of injury and one transverse incision at the site of rupture, with a total of 16 suture threads and the knot outside the tendon body, increasing the tensile strength of the suture and minimizing the risk of re-rupture. Clinical studies are necessary to ascertain whether the theoretical advantages of the cruciate suture technique translate into better clinical outcomes compared to established percutaneous techniques.

Article Synopsis
- Popliteal artery injury is a rare but significant complication of knee arthroscopic surgery, highlighting a need for more research due to a lack of data and guidelines.
- The study analyzed 17,000 procedures and found a 0.059% incidence of popliteal artery injury among 10 patients, detailing the types of surgeries performed and various treatment methods used.
- After an average follow-up of over 43 months, patients showed no reported complications and exhibited positive recovery in joint function and vascular health.
Over the past 15 years, there has been a shift toward meniscus preservation even for previously believed irreparable patterns like bucket handle, radial, meniscus root, vertical, and horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs). HCTs are a common tear pattern, especially as we age, and are estimated to occur in 23% to 32% of meniscus tears. They occur in both males and females, are more common on the medial than the lateral side, and most often occur with minor to normal trauma in an anterior cruciate ligament intact knee.

Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate the precise procedure and effectiveness of percutaneous minimally invasive fixation assisted by TiRobot in managing AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture to provide an alternative solution for clinical application.
Methods: In total, 10 participants with AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fractures diagnosed by preoperative imaging examinations were enrolled in this study between May 2019 and May 2022. They were 5 males and 5 females, with an average age of 45.
Outcome of percutaneous reconstruction of chronic lateral collateral ligament rupture.

January 2024
Department of Surgery, Bayero University Kano, Nigeria.
Purpose: Many techniques have been described for the reconstruction of chronic lateral collateral ligament (LCL) rupture with different autograft options. The advantages of percutaneous LCL reconstruction include small incisions, minimal soft tissue disruption, less postoperative pain, and speedy rehabilitation and recovery. The aim of this study was to report the functional outcome of percutaneous LCL reconstruction and overall patient satisfaction in Africans.
