- Alternative Techniques for Lateral and Medial Posterior Root Meniscus Repair Without Special Instruments(2020) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; MELO, Lucas da Ponte; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; HELITO, Paulo Victor Partezani; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo GomesImproved understanding and treatment of posterior medial and lateral meniscus root tears have attracted increasing interest. These lesions significantly compromise meniscal function, which can result in an outcome resembling total meniscectomy, and are also a potential cause of knee instability. Despite facilitating repair procedures and reducing the operative time for these lesions, all-inside meniscal repair devices are not available in all circumstances or registered for use in all countries worldwide. Furthermore, all-inside arthroscopic devices can be expensive. Therefore, low-cost alternatives for the treatment of these lesions must be identified. We present 2 efficient and safe techniques: an outside-in technique for repairing medial meniscus root tears and a technique using a simple needle inserted through the transtibial tunnel for lateral meniscal root repairs, neither of which requires the use of specific instruments, thus enabling appropriate treatment of posterior medial and lateral meniscus root tears.
- 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.
- Clinical outcomes of combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis(2021) LIMA, Diego Ariel de; LIMA, Lana Lacerda de; SOUZA, Nayara Gomes Reis de; PEREZ, Rodrigo Amorim de Moraes; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; HELITO, Camilo PartezaniObjectives To compare the clinical outcomes of isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with combined reconstruction of the ACL and anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee. Methods A search was conducted on the PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Cochrane library databases, in line with the PRISMA protocol. The indexation terms used were ""anterior cruciate ligament"" OR ""acl"" AND ""anterolateral ligament"" AND ""reconstruction."" Articles that compared patients submitted to combined ACL and ALL reconstruction with those submitted to isolated reconstruction of the ACL, with levels of evidence I, II, and III, were included. Studies with follow-up of less than 2 years and articles that did not use ""anatomical"" techniques for ALL reconstruction, such as extraarticular tenodesis, were excluded. A meta-analysis with R software was conducted, with a random effects model, presented as risk ratio (RR) or mean difference (MD), with a 95% confidence level (CI) and statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results Ten articles were selected, with a total of 1495 patients, most of whom were men, of whom 674 submitted to ACL and ALL reconstruction and 821 to isolated ACL reconstruction. Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction exhibited a statistically significant advantage in residual pivot shift (RR 0.34, 95% CI 0.24-0.47, I-2 = 0%, p < 0.01), rerupture rate (RR 0.34, 95% CI 0.19-0.62, I-2 = 0%, p < 0.01), Lachman test (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.40-0.86, I-2 = 21%, p < 0.01), and postoperative Lysholm score (MD 2.28, CI 95% 0.75-3.81, I-2 = 73%, p < 0.01). Conclusions Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction obtained better postoperative clinical outcomes when compared with isolated ACL reconstruction, especially in reducing residual pivot shift and rerupture rate.
- Functional results of multiple revision anterior cruciate ligament with anterolateral tibial tunnel associated with anterolateral ligament reconstruction(2022) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisBackground Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are usually complex owing to previous tunnels. The objective of this study is to report the results of a revision ACL reconstruction technique with a tibial tunnel performed from the anterolateral plateau associated with an anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction. Methods Patients with at least two ACL reconstructions that failed and who had significant enlargement and confluence of tunnels in the medial tibial plateau and underwent revision ACL reconstruction associated with ALL reconstruction with the tibial tunnel for the ACL performed from the lateral plateau between 2017 and 2019 were evaluated. All patients were evaluated by physical examination, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Lysholm functional scales. Results Six patients who underwent this surgical procedure were evaluated. All patients were sports practitioners and presented a grade 3 pivot shift. The mean age was 28.5 +/- 8.2 years, and the mean follow-up time was 34.1 +/- 12.8 months. No patient had a new graft rupture, but three (50%) had grade 1 pivot shift. Four patients had minor complications with no clinical impact on the final result. All except one patient were able to return to pre-injury type of sports, at a mean time of 14.6 +/- 2.3 months after surgery. Conclusion The anterolateral tibial tunnel technique using an Achilles tendon allograft for revision ACL reconstruction after multiple failures associated with an ALL reconstruction showed good results and no major complications. The anterolateral tunnel can be considered a good alternative in cases of medial tibial confluence or significant enlargement of the medial tunnels in re-revision procedures.
- Small Hamstring Tendon Graft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Combined With Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Results in the Same Failure Rate as Larger Hamstring Tendon Graft Reconstruction Alone(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose RicardoPurpose: To compare patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring grafts 7 mm or less in diameter combined with anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction versus isolated ACL reconstruction with grafts greater than 7 mm in diameter. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the descriptive data and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts from June 2013 to January 2020 and had a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. Patients with quadrupled or quintupled semitendinosus and gracilis autograft 7 mm or less in diameter combined with single-strand ALL reconstruction (ACL-ALL group) were matched in a 1:2 propensity ratio to patients who underwent isolated single-bundle ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts greater than 7 mm (ACL group). Results: We identified 30 patients in our database who met the criteria for the ACL-ALL group. The patients in this group were matched to 60 patients comprising the ACL group. Both groups were similar regarding all preoperative matched and unmatched variables. The mean ACL graft diameter was 6.8 & PLUSMN; 0.4 mm in the ACL-ALL group and 8.6 & PLUSMN; 0.6 mm in the ACL group (P < .001). The ACL-ALL group presented 1 failure (3.3%), and the ACL group presented 3 failures (5%) (P = .717). Postoperative KT-1000 measurements were similar between the groups (2.1 & PLUSMN; 1.1 mm vs 1.9 & PLUSMN; 1.2 mm, P = .114), as were postoperative pivot-shift grades (P = .652). Subjective International Knee Documentation Committee scores and Lysholm scores did not present any differences between the groups (P = .058 and P = .280, respectively). Conclusions: Patients who undergo combined ACL-ALL reconstruction with an ACL graft diameter of 7 mm or less can achieve similar results to patients who undergo isolated ACL reconstruction with a graft diameter greater than 7 mm. An associated ALL reconstruction can be performed to increase knee stability in patients with small-diameter hamstring grafts.
- Outcomes After Isolated Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Are Inferior in Patients With an Associated Anterolateral Ligament Injury(2020) SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; HELITO, Paulo Victor Partezani; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; HELITO, Camilo PartezaniBackground: Isolated reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) does not reestablish the normal knee biomechanics in cases of associated injuries to the anterolateral structures. Studies evaluating the potential clinical effect of anterolateral ligament (ALL) injury on the treatment of ACL injuries are necessary to validate the findings of biomechanical studies. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and failure rate of ACL reconstruction in patients with and without ALL injury diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A prospective cohort of patients with acute ACL injury was divided into 2 groups based on the presence (ALL group) or absence (no-ALL group) of ALL injury on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scans. Both groups underwent anatomic reconstruction of the ACL with autologous hamstring tendon grafts. The Lysholm and subjective IKDC scores (International Knee Documentation Committee), KT-1000 arthrometer and pivot-shift test results, reconstruction failure rate, incidence of contralateral ACL injury, presence of associated meniscal injury, and presence of knee hyperextension were evaluated. Results: A total of 182 patients were evaluated. Postoperative mean +/- SD follow-up was 33.6 +/- 7.1 and 36.1 +/- 8.1 months for the ALL and no-ALL groups, respectively. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of age, sex, knee hyperextension, duration of injury before reconstruction, follow-up time, or associated meniscal injuries. In the preoperative evaluation, the pivot-shift grade was similar, and the ALL group had worse KT-1000 arthrometer values (7.9 +/- 1.2 mm vs 7.2 +/- 1.1 mm; P < .001). In the postoperative evaluation, patients in the no-ALL group had a lower reconstruction failure rate (10.2% vs 1.4%; P = .029) and better clinical outcomes according to the IKDC subjective (85.5 +/- 10.7 vs 89.1 +/- 6.6; P = .035) and Lysholm scores (85.9 +/- 10.1 vs 92.0 +/- 6.3; P < .001). There was no postoperative difference in the KT-1000 or pivot-shift results. Conclusion: Combined ACL and ALL injuries were associated with significantly less favorable outcomes than were isolated ACL injuries at a minimum follow-up of 2 years after ACL reconstruction. Patients with concomitant ALL injury showed a higher rerupture rate and worse functional scores.
- The Addition of Either an Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction or an Iliotibial Band Tenodesis Is Associated With a Lower Failure Rate After Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Retrospective Comparative Trial(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; PADUA, Vitor Barion Castro de; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisPurpose: To compare the failure rate in patients who underwent revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) recon-struction alone or associated with an extra-articular procedure. Secondary objectives were to compare ACL laxity, patient -reported outcome measures, and complication rates in these patients and, subsequently, to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent revision ACL reconstruction associated with anatomical anterolateral ligament (ALL) recon-struction or lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study. Patients were classified into 2 groups, according to whether (group 2) or not (group 1) an extra-articular reconstruction was performed. Patients who underwent an extra-articular procedure were further divided into ALL reconstruction (group 2A) and LET (group 2B). Baseline demographic variables, operative data and postoperative data were evaluated. Results: The groups with (86 patients) and without (88 patients) an associated extra-articular reconstruction had similar preoperative data. Group 2 had a lower failure rate (4.6% vs 14.7%; P 1/4 .038), better KT-1000, better pivot -shift, and better Lysholm. There was no difference regarding complications, except more lateral pain in group 2. Regarding the groups who underwent ALL reconstruction (41 patients) and LET (46 patients), group 2A showed better Lysholm scores. Both groups had similar failure rates and complications. Conclusions: Patients who underwent revision ACL reconstruction with a laterally based augmentation procedure had a lower failure rate than patients who underwent isolated revision ACL reconstruction. KT-1000 and pivot -shift examination were also significantly better when a lateral augmentation was performed. Com-plications were similar except for an increase in lateral pain in the augmented group. No clinically important differences were found when comparing the LET group to the ALL group other than a statistical improvement in the Lysholm functional scale, likely not clinically meaningful, favoring the ALL group and an increased duration of post-operative lateral pain in the LET group. Level of Evidence: III, retrospective comparative therapeutic trial.
- Knee Hyperextension Greater Than 5 degrees Is a Risk Factor for Failure in ACL Reconstruction Using Hamstring Graft(2021) GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; HELITO, Camilo PartezaniBackground: The degree of knee hyperextension in isolation has not been studied in detail as a risk factor that could lead to increased looseness or graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Purpose: To analyze whether more than 5 degrees of passive knee hyperextension is associated with worse functional outcomes and greater risk of graft failure after primary ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A cohort of patients who had primary ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts was divided into 2 groups based on passive contralateral knee hyperextension greater than 5 degrees (hyperextension group) and less than 5 degrees (control group) of hyperextension. Groups were matched by age, sex, and associated meniscal tears. The following data were collected and compared between the groups: patient data (age and sex), time from injury to surgery, passive knee hyperextension, KT-1000 arthrometer laxity, pivot shift, associated meniscal injury and treatment (meniscectomy or repair), contralateral knee ligament injury, intra-articular graft size, follow-up time, occurrence of graft failure, and postoperative Lysholm knee scale and International Knee Documentation Committee subjective form scores. Results: Data from 358 patients initially included in the study were analyzed; 22 were excluded because the time from injury to surgery was greater than 24 months, and 22 were lost to follow-up. From the cohort of 314 patients, 102 had more than 5 degrees of knee hyperextension. A control group of the same size (n = 102) was selected by matching among the other 212 patients. Significant differences in the incidence of graft failure (14.7% vs 2.9%; P = .005) and Lysholm knee scale score (86.4 +/- 9.8 vs 89.6 +/- 6.1; P = .018) were found between the 2 groups. Conclusion: Patients with more than 5 degrees of contralateral knee hyperextension submitted to single-bundle ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendons have a higher failure rate than patients with less than 5 degrees of knee hyperextension.
