- Combined Reconstruction of the Anterolateral Ligament in Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Ligamentous Hyperlaxity Leads to Better Clinical Stability and a Lower Failure Rate Than Isolated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction(2019) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraPurpose: To compare functional outcomes, residual instability, and rupture rates in patients with ligamentous hyperlaxity undergoing isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction or combined ACL and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction. Methods: Two groups of patients were evaluated and compared retrospectively. Both groups consisted of patients with ACL injuries and associated ligamentous hyperlaxity, defined based on the modified Beighton scale with a minimum score of 5. Group 1 patients underwent anatomical ACL reconstruction, and group 2 patients underwent anatomical ACL reconstruction combined with ALL reconstruction. Group 1 consisted of historical controls. The presence of associated meniscal injury, subjective International Knee Documentation Committee and Lysholm functional scores, KT-1000 measurements, the presence of a residual pivot-shift, and the graft rupture rate were evaluated. The study was performed at University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Results: Ninety patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with ligamentous hyperlaxity were evaluated. The mean follow up was 29.6 +/- 6.2 months for group 1 and 28.1 +/- 4.2 months for group 2 (P = .51). No significant differences were found between the groups regarding Beighton scale, gender, the duration of injury before reconstruction, follow-up time, preoperative instability, or associated meniscal injuries. The mean age was 29.9 +/- 8.1 years in group 1 and 27.0 +/- 9.1 years in group 2 (P = .017). In the final evaluation, group 2 patients showed better anteroposterior clinical stability as evaluated by KT-1000 arthrometry (P = .02), better rotational stability as evaluated by the pivot-shift test (P = .03) and a lower reconstruction failure rate (21.7% [group 1] vs 3.3% [group 2]; P = .03). Clinical evaluations of postoperative functional scales showed no differences between the 2 groups (P = .27 for International Knee Documentation Committee; P = .41 for Lysholm). Conclusions: Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction in patients with ligamentous hyperlaxity resulted in a lower failure rate and improved knee stability parameters compared to isolated ACL reconstruction. No differences were found in the functional scales.
- Why Do Authors Differ With Regard to the Femoral and Meniscal Anatomic Parameters of the Knee Anterolateral Ligament? Dissection by Layers and a Description of Its Superficial and Deep Layers(2016) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; AMARAL JR., Carlos do; NAKAMICHI, Yuri da Cunha; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; NATALINO, Renato Jose Mendonca; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CARDOSO, Tulio Pereira; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraBackground: No consensus exists regarding the anatomic characteristics of the knee anterolateral ligament (ALL). A critical analysis of the dissections described in previous studies allows the division of the ALL into 2 groups with similar characteristics. The presence of considerable variability suggests that the authors may not be referring to the same structure. Purpose/Hypothesis: To perform a lateral anatomic dissection, by layers, seeking to characterize the 2 variants described for the ALL on the same knee. We hypothesized that we would identify the 2 variants described for the ALL and that these variants would have distinct characteristics. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Thirteen unpaired cadaveric knees were used in this study. The dissection protocol followed the parameters described in previous studies. Immediately below the iliotibial tract, we isolated a structure designated as the superficial ALL, whereas between this structure and the articular capsule, we isolated a structure designated as the deep ALL. The 2 structures were measured for length at full extension and at 90 degrees of flexion and for distance from the tibial insertion relative to the Gerdy tubercle. Potential contact with the lateral meniscus was also evaluated. After measurements were obtained, the 2 dissected structures underwent histologic analysis. Results: The superficial ALL presented a posterior and proximal origin to the center of the lateral epicondyle, its length increased on knee extension, and it exhibited no contact with the lateral meniscus. The deep ALL was located in the center of the lateral epicondyle, its length increased on knee flexion, and it presented a meniscal insertion. Both structures had a similar tibial insertion site; however, the insertion site of the deep ALL was located more posteriorly. The analysis of the histological sections for both structures indicated the presence of dense and well-organized collagen fibers. Conclusion: This anatomic study clearly identified 2 structures, described as the superficial and deep ALL, which were consistent with previous but conflicting descriptions of the ALL. Clinical Relevance: This study clarifies numerous controversies encountered in anatomic studies of the ALL. Knowledge regarding the existence of 2 distinct structures in the anterolateral knee will allow more accurate evaluation of their functions and characteristics.
- Regarding ""Intra-articular Injection of Tranexamic Acid Reduced Postoperative Hemarthrosis in Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Randomized Study""(2019) GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; PECORA, Jose Ricardo
- Combined reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament using a single femoral tunnel(2017) BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; FONI, Noel Oizerovici; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonLesions of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) are the most common knee ligament injuries, and lesions associated with the anterior cruciate ligament or the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in knee dislocations should be reconstructed to prevent failure of the central pivot reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of combined PCL/MCL reconstruction using a single femoral tunnel with a minimum 2-year follow-up. A retrospective study of thirteen patients with combined PCL/MCL injuries was conducted. The patients underwent PCL and MCL reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft with a single tunnel in the medial femoral condyle, thereby avoiding tunnel conversion. All patients achieved a range of motion of at least 100A degrees. The mean loss of extension and flexion values compared to the contralateral side was 1A degrees A +/- 2A degrees and 9A degrees A +/- 10A degrees, respectively. Our results included 26 reconstructions with three (11.5 %) failures, two in the PCL (15.3 %) and one in the MCL (7.6 %), in three different patients. In the final evaluation, the mean IKDC subjective score was 71.63 +/- 16.23, the mean Lysholm score was 80.08 +/- 13.87, and the median Tegner score was 6 (range = 2-7). The PCL/MCL reconstruction technique using a single femoral tunnel and an Achilles tendon allograft is safe, avoids the convergence of tunnels in the medial femoral condyle, has excellent results, and is reproducible.

- Radiographic Landmarks for Locating the Femoral Origin and Tibial Insertion of the Knee Anterolateral Ligament(2014) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passareli; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisBackground: Recent anatomic studies have confirmed the presence of a true ligament structure, the anterolateral ligament (ALL), in the anterolateral region of the knee. This structure is involved in the rotatory instability of the knee and might explain why some isolated reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament result in a residual pivot shift. Therefore, when considering the least invasive method for reconstruction of this structure, it is important to identify the corresponding bony landmarks on radiographic images. Purpose: To establish radiographic femoral and tibial landmarks for the ALL in frontal and lateral views. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Ten unpaired cadaver knees were dissected. The attachments of the ALL were isolated and its anatomic parameters were quantified. Its origin and insertion were marked with a 2-mm-diameter metallic sphere, and radiographs were taken from frontal and lateral views. The obtained images were analyzed and the ALL parameters established. Results: The origin of the ALL in the lateral view was found at a point an average SD of 47.5% 4.3% from the anterior edge of the femoral condyle and about 3.7 +/- 1.1 mm below the Blumensaat line. In the frontal view, the origin was about 15.8 +/- 1.9 mm from the distal condyle line. The ALL insertion was an average of 53.2% +/- 5.8% from the anterior edge of the lateral tibial plateau in the lateral view and 7.0 +/- 0.5 mm below the lateral tibial plateau in the frontal view. In anatomic dissections, the origin of the ALL was 1.9 +/- 1.4 mm anterior and 4.1 +/- 1.1 mm distal to the lateral collateral ligament, and the insertion was 4.4 +/- 0.8 mm below the lateral tibial plateau cartilage. Conclusion: The ALL origin on an absolute lateral radiograph of the knee is approximately 47% of the anterior-posterior size of the condyle and 3.7 mm caudal to the Blumensaat line. In a frontal radiograph, the ALL is 15.8 mm from the posterior bicondyle line. The ALL insertion is approximately 53.2% of the anterior-posterior size of the plateau in the lateral view and 7.0 mm below the articular line in the frontal view. Clinical Relevance: Knowledge of the anatomic landmarks of the ALL on radiography will permit minimally invasive surgical reconstruction with lower morbidity.
- Surgical Timing Does Not Interfere on Clinical Outcomes in Combined Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament: A Comparative Study With Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up(2021) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisPurpose: To compare the functional outcomes, knee stability, failure rate and complication rates of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction with hamstrings grafts between acute and chronic cases. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent combined ACL and ALL reconstruction with hamstrings grafts were evaluated. Patients operated on less than 8 weeks after injury were allocated to group 1, and the others were allocated to group 2. Demographic data, knee stability, and functional outcomes of the 2 groups were evaluated. Results: Thirty-four patients in the acute group and 96 in the chronic group were evaluated. The follow-up time was similar between the groups (28.7 +/- 5.2 [24-43] months vs 29.4 +/- 7.2 [24-58] months; P = 0.696). No differences were found between the groups in age, sex, trauma mechanism, presence of knee hyperextension, graft diameter, and meniscal injuries. There was no difference between the groups in the postoperative KT-1000 and in the pre- or postoperative pivot shift. The preoperative KT-1000 was higher in group 2 (7.9 +/- 1.1 vs 7.4 +/- 1.2; P = 0.031). There were no differences in the International Knee Documentation Committee or Lysholm. Three (2.3%) patients developed failure, 1 (2.9%) in group 1 and 2 (2.1%) in group 2. The total complication rate was 10% and did not differ between the groups. Conclusions: Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction has similar outcomes in patients undergoing surgery in the acute and chronic phases. Patients with chronic injury have similar knee stability, functional scores, and failure rates as acute-injury patients, and patients with acute injury have no more complications than chronic patients. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative therapeutic trial.
- Extensor mechanism injury, infection, and an extended time between trauma and surgical approach are related to the need for total knee arthroplasty removal after traumatic dehiscence(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; FRANCIOZI, Carlos Eduardo; TKA Traumatic Exposure Study GrpBackground: Surgical wound-related traumatic complications are rarely reported in the lit-erature. Traumatic dehiscence is unpredictable because of the trauma magnitude and the potential of associated injuries. This study aims to report the clinical outcomes and com-plications of a case series due to traumatic dehiscence after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and establish possible criteria for prognosis for maintaining the implant.Methods: Patients admitted to an emergency room due to traumatic dehiscence after TKA were retrospectively evaluated. Patient data was analyzed and patients who maintained or not the arthroplasty were compared to establish prognosis factors.Results: Thirty-two patients with traumatic dehiscence after TKA were evaluated. The trauma occurred on a mean of 14.3 +/-25.0 days after the surgical procedure, and debride-ment in the operating room was performed on a mean of 6.2 +/-4.9 hours after the trauma. Twenty patients maintained the arthroplasty until the end of follow-up and did not require revision. Factors related to arthroplasty removal were associated extensor mechanism injury (p = 0.026), time from trauma to surgical debridement (p = 0.035), and infection (p = 0.0001)Conclusion: Traumatic dehiscence after total knee arthroplasty is an event with a high rate of complications. Extensor mechanism Injury, infection, and extended time between trauma and surgical intervention were poor prognostic factors for arthroplasty maintenance.
- Degenerative Medial Meniscus Tear With a Displaced Flap Into the Meniscotibial Recess and Tibial Peripheral Reactive Bone Edema Presents Good Results With Arthroscopic Surgical Treatment(2021) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; HELITO, Paulo Victor Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; RODRIGUES, Marcelo Bordalo; BERG, Bruno VandePurpose: To report the arthroscopic treatment results of a degenerative medial meniscus tear with a displaced flap into the meniscotibial recess, tibial peripheral reactive bone edema, and focal knee medial pain. As a secondary objective, we propose to identify possible factors associated with a good or poor prognosis of the surgical treatment of this lesion. Methods: From 2012 to 2018, patients who had this specific meniscus pathology and underwent arthroscopic surgical treatment were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) classification greater than 2 were excluded. KL classification, the presence of an Outerbridge grade III/V chondral lesion of the medial compartment, limb alignment, body mass index, and smoking were evaluated. The subjective outcomes included the International Knee Documentation Committee score, improvement in the pain reported by patients, and the Global Perceived Effect (GPE) scale score. Results: A total of 69 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 58.6 +/- 7.1 years. The follow-up time was 48.7 +/- 20.8 months. Fifty-five (79.7%) patients reported pain improvement. The postoperative International Knee Documentation Committee was 62.6 +/- 15.4, and the mean GPE was 2.3 +/- 2.6. Fourteen patients (20.3%) showed no improvement in pain, and 7 patients (10.2%) presented complications. Groups that improved (GPE 0) and did not improve (GPE < 0) did not present differences regarding age, sex, follow-up time, chondral lesions, or body mass index. Patients without improvement had a greater incidence of smoking (P = .001), varus alignment (P = .008), and more advanced KL classification (P < .001). In the multivariate analysis based on the GPE score, KL classification (P = .038) and smoking (P = .003) were significant. Conclusions: Arthroscopic surgical treatment of degenerative medial meniscal tears with a meniscal flap displaced into the meniscotibial recess and adjacent focal bone edema in the tibia shows good results in approximately 80% of cases. Smoking and KL grade 2 were factors associated with poor prognosis of surgical treatment.
- Three-dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee: An Evaluation of Intact and Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Deficient Knees From the Scientific Anterior Cruciate Ligament Network International (SANTI) Study Group(2018) MURAMATSU, Koichi; SAITHNA, Adnan; WATANABE, Hiroki; SASAKI, Kana; YOKOSAWA, Kenta; HACHIYA, Yudo; BANNO, Tatsuo; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SONNERY-COTTET, BertrandPurpose: To determine the visualization rate of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in uninjured and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) edeficient knees using 3-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to characterize the spectrum of ALL injury observed in ACL-deficient knees, as well as determine the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of a 3D MRI classification of ALL injury. Methods: A total of 100 knees (60 ACL deficient and 40 uninjured) underwent 3D MRI. The ALL was evaluated by 2 blinded orthopaedic surgeons. The ALL was classified as follows: type A, continuous, clearly defined low-signal band; type B, warping, thinning, or iso-signal changes; and type C, without clear continuity. The comparison between imaging performed early after ACL injury (<1 month) and delayed imaging (>1 month) was evaluated, as was intraobserver and interobserver reliability. Results: Complete visualization of the ALL was achieved in all uninjured knees. In the ACL-deficient group, 24 knees underwent early imaging, with 87.5% showing evidence of ALL injury (3 normal, or type A, knees [12.5%], 18 type B [75.0%], and 3 type C [12.5%]). The remaining 36 knees underwent delayed imaging, with 55.6% showing evidence of injury (16 type A [44.4%], 18 type B [50.0%], and 2 type C [5.6%]). The difference in the rate of injury between the 2 groups was significant (P = .03). Multivariate analysis showed that the delay from ACL injury to MRI was the only factor (negatively) associated with the rate of injury to the ALL. Interobserver reliability and intraobserver reliability of the classification of ALL type were good (kappa = 0.86 and kappa = 0.93, respectively). Conclusions: Three-dimensional MRI allows full visualization of the ALL in all normal knees. The rate of injury to the ALL in acutely ACL-injured knees identified on 3D MRI is higher than previous reports using standard MRI techniques. This rate is significantly higher than the rate of injury to the ALL identified on delayed imaging of ACL-injured knees.
