Arthroscopic volar capsuloligamentous repair.

چکیده

Background The palmar aspect of the capsuloligamentous complex of the wrist is relatively inaccessible to surgery through an open approach. An all-inside arthroscopic suturing technique is presented that allows suturing of the palmar scapholunate or lunotriquetral ligaments or plication of the space of Poirier. Methods Eight palmar scapholunate ligaments and four major tears of the volar capsuloligamentous complex of the wrist due to a perilunate dislocation have been repaired. Results No complications occurred during or after the procedure. It was not possible to separate the effects of the palmar repair from the disparate treatment of the associated pathology. Conclusions The technique described allows one to suture the palmar aspects of the SL and LT ligaments safely and to repair the space of Poirier structures without need for any special equipment.

Volar ligament repair for radiocarpal fracture-dislocation.

Radiocarpal fracture-dislocations are uncommon injuries, comprising a spectrum of trauma to the capsuloligamentous complex and osseous structures of the radiocarpal joint along with the adjacent structures. Management guidelines are derived from limited case series and expert opinions. An understanding of the relevant anatomy suggests that restoration of an anatomically reduced joint in conjunc...

An all-inside technique for arthroscopic suturing of the volar scapholunate ligament.

Repair of the volar scapholunate ligament has not been performed arthroscopically. We present an all-inside technique that presents closure of the anterior scapholunate interval. A Tuohy needle and a resorbable suture are all that is required.

Arthroscopic Repair of Anterior Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligaments

Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation produces injury to the anterior glenohumeral ligament complex. Most commonly, this capsuloligamentous complex is torn off the anteroinferior glenoid neck (Bankart lesion). Creation of a humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligaments (HAGL lesion) is a much less common pathological result. Failure to identify and appropriately treat this entity frequently ...

Dorsal approach for open reduction of complex metacarpophalangeal joint dislocations.

The metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint is resistant to injury due to its strong capsuloligamentous structures, which include the volar plate and deep transverse metacarpal and collateral ligaments. Complex MP joint dislocations are, by definition, irreducible by closed means and require open reduction, as the volar plate becomes entrapped between the metacarpal head and proximal phalanx. The dorsal...

The Management of Dorsal Radiocarpal Ligament Tears

The dorsal radiocarpal ligament (DRCL) has been implicated in both volar and dorsal intercalated segmental instabilities and has a role in midcarpal instability. Tears of the DRCL are more common than previously suspected. They are best seen through a volar radial portal and are amenable to arthroscopic repair. DRCL tears appear to be part of a spectrum of radialand ulnar-sided carpal instabili...
