Common peroneal nerve neuropraxia after arthroscopic inside-out lateral meniscus repair.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Common peroneal nerve injury caused by suture entrapment is a complication of arthroscopic inside-out lateral meniscus repair. In the literature, the treatment of this complication has been described as immediate reexploration. We present a case of recovery after late neurolysis performed 7 months postoperatively for a common peroneal nerve neuropraxia. In addition to describing return of function after late exploration, we discuss the management and prevention of this complication.

Arthroscopic repair of meniscal tears with inside-out technique.
OBJECTIVE To review the clinical results of arthroscopic meniscal repair and to identify factors that may affect the outcome. METHODS A total of 15 arthroscopic meniscal repairs with inside-out in 14 patients over a 7-year period were evaluated retrospectively. The mean age was 41.2 +/- 11.5 years with a range of 26-64 years. Eleven patients underwent repair for medial meniscal tear, two pati...
متن کاملTransient Common Peroneal and Tibial Nerve Palsy Following Knee Arthroscopy for the Treatment of Discoid Lateral Meniscus
The number of knee arthroscopies has increased rapidly since the 1980s and are among the most common orthopedic procedures today. It is generally considered a minimally invasive surgery with relatively low morbidity, but it is not without risk of complications. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy who developed a lesion of common peroneal nerve and tibial nerve after knee arthroscopy for a t...
متن کاملA novel technique for modified all-inside repair of bucket-handle meniscus tears using standard arthroscopic portals
BACKGROUND Bucket-handle meniscus tears (BHMT) are often displaced and unstable. The inside-out technique of repairing such tears is currently the gold standard. All-inside repair with meniscal fixators is getting increasingly popular. Shortcomings of the inside-out technique include neurovascular complications, especially saphenous nerve palsy, and retention of a non-resorbable suture which ca...
متن کاملArthroscopic repair of chronic lateral ankle instability.
BACKGROUND The current "gold standard'' for treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability is the Broström-Gould procedure. Most authors recommend this type of operation even after an arthroscopic inspection of the joint. We review our results with an arthroscopic method of lateral ankle ligament repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS A method of arthroscopic lateral ligament repair with an anchor pla...
متن کاملCyclic Testing of Flexible All-Inside Meniscus Suture Anchors
Arthroscopic inside-out and outside-in meniscus repair techniques are technically demanding. The need for additional incisions with the risk of iatrogenic neurovascular damage can lead to prolonged intraoperative and tourniquet time and can thereby increase morbidity and anesthesia costs. To overcome these disadvantages, all-inside repair devices were developed. Simple insertion of these rigid ...
