AI Article Synopsis
- Patella sleeve fractures are uncommon injuries typically seen in children, requiring different treatment approaches based on displacement.
- For minimally displaced fractures, conservative management through immobilization can be effective, while displaced fractures usually require surgical intervention.
- The described surgical method involves using intraosseous suture anchors along with suture cerclage to repair distal pole and patella sleeve avulsion fractures in pediatric patients.
Article Abstract
Patella sleeve fractures are rare injuries that occur in pediatric patients. For minimally displaced fractures, nonoperative treatment with immobilization is possible. When fractures are displaced, surgical repair is indicated. Previously described operative techniques include transosseous sutures and tension band wiring. We describe a surgical technique to repair distal pole and patella sleeve avulsion fractures in pediatric patients using intraosseous suture anchors with suture cerclage augmentation.

Mid- to Long-Term Clinical Outcomes and Failure Rates After ALPSA Lesion Repair.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesions are associated with recurrent shoulder instability and higher rates of failure after capsulolabral repair compared with similarly treated Bankart lesions. Although these lesions can portend poor outcomes, there are limited data on the associated conditions and postoperative course in a young, active population.
Purpose: To evaluate the mid- to long-term clinical course and failure rates after ALPSA repairs and assess features associated with these outcomes.
Repair of Acute Grade-3 Combined Posterolateral Corner Avulsion Injuries Using a Transosseous Krackow Suture Pull-Through Technique.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

There are a number of soft-tissue injuries or non-traditional fractures, frequently treated by sports medicine surgeons, which additionally require treatment in an expedited fashion in order to optimize healing and function. Sports medicine injuries of the lower extremity requiring acute treatment include, but are not limited to, multiligamentous knee injuries, proximal hamstring ruptures, quadriceps tendon ruptures, patellar sleeve avulsions, patellar tendon ruptures, tibial spine avulsions, posterior cruciate ligament avulsions, bucket handle meniscus tears, and achilles tendon ruptures.

Glenohumeral capsular injury rate in patients with glenohumeral instability: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University Hospital, Durham, NC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Glenohumeral instability involves complex issues related to bony, labral, and capsular tissues, with varying rates of capsular injuries, highlighted by unclear clinical significance.
- A systematic review of studies from 2008 to 2023 found that the inferior glenohumeral ligament injuries were the most common (34.1%), while humeral avulsions were the least common (6.2%).
- The conclusion indicates that while capsular injuries are prevalent in MRI scans of patients with shoulder instability, there's a need for more research to better understand their clinical impacts and rehabilitation methods.
