Although higher-level studies are needed to fully elucidate the benefits, recent literature has provided supporting preliminary evidence for the utilization of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in patients with moderate cartilage damage and full-thickness chondral flaps undergoing acetabular labral repair&lt;sup&gt;7,8&lt;/sup&gt;. Thus, as the incorporation of orthobiologics continues to advance, there is a clinical demand for an efficient and reliable BMAC-harvesting technique that utilizes an anatomical location with a substantial concentration of connective tissue progenitor (CTP) cells, while avoiding donor-site morbidity and minimizing additional operative time. Thus, we present a safe and technically feasible approach for harvesting bone marrow aspirate from the body of the ilium, followed by centrifugation and application during hip arthroscopy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;After induction of anesthesia and appropriate patient positioning, a quadrilateral arrangement of arthroscopic portals is established to perform puncture capsulotomy&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;. Upon arthroscopic visualization of cartilage/chondrolabral junction injury, 52 mL of whole venous blood is promptly obtained from an intravenous access site and combined with 8 mL of anticoagulant citrate dextrose solution A (ACD-A). The mixture is centrifuged to yield approximately 2 to 3 mL of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and 17 to 18 mL of platelet-poor plasma (PPP). Then, approaching along the coronal plane and aiming toward the anterior-superior iliac spine under fluoroscopic guidance, a heparin-rinsed Jamshidi bone marrow biopsy needle is driven through the lateral cortex of the ilium just proximal to the sourcil. Under a relative negative-pressure vacuum, bone marrow is aspirated into 3 separate heparin-rinsed 50 mL syringes, each containing 5 mL of ACD-A. Slow and steady negative pressure should be used to pull back on the syringe plunger to aspirate a total volume of 40 mL into each syringe. To avoid pelvic cavity compromise and minimize the risk of mobilizing marrow-space contents, care should be taken to ensure that no forward force or positive pressure is applied during the aspiration process. A total combined bone marrow aspirate/ACD-A mixture of approximately 120 mL is consistently harvested and subsequently centrifuged to yield roughly 4 to 6 mL of BMAC. The final mixture containing BMAC, PRP, and PPP is combined with thrombin to generate a megaclot, which is then applied to the central compartment of the hip.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alternatives: &lt;/strong&gt;Currently, strategies to address acetabular cartilage lesions may include microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation, matrix-induced autologous ch","PeriodicalId":44676,"journal":{"name":"JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10807885/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67754752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our technique includes clearance of debris, lavage of the medullary canal, pressurized filling of the medullary canal with antibiotic-laden cement for its mechanical and antimicrobial properties, and insertion of cancellous autograft at the allograft-host junctional ends prior to dual-plate compression to fix the allograft into the defect&lt;sup&gt;1-3&lt;/sup&gt;. Our experience with large intercalary allograft reconstruction has demonstrated high rates of long-term success and addresses the most common causes of large allograft failure (infection, fracture, and nonunion)&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, as shown in our long-term outcome study&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;Once the tumor is resected, it is used as a template for cutting and shaping the allograft to fit the bone defect and to restore length and anatomy. The frozen allograft is thawed in a container with povidone iodine and bacitracin saline solution until it reaches room temperature. The allograft is size-matched, and clearance of its intramedullary marrow contents is performed with use of curets and intramedullary reamers&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;. If 1 end of the allograft includes the metaphysis and is covered by dense cancellous bone, we try not to ream through this end because maintaining this metaphyseal cancellous surface will expedite bone healing. The segment is then thoroughly lavaged with \"triple wash\" solutions to clear out any remaining marrow contents and to ensure sterilization of the allograft. This serial-wash technique involves the use of 3 discrete antiseptic modalities and has been utilized at our institution with low rates of allograft infection. These antiseptic modalities include 10% weight-per-volume povidone iodine diluted 1:1 with normal saline solution, 3% weight-per-volume hydrogen peroxide diluted 1:1 with normal saline solution, and 50,000 units of sterile bacitracin lyophilized powder dissolved in 500 mL of normal saline solution. Following the triple wash, the medullary canal is filled with antibiotic-laden methylmethacrylate bone cement. If both ends are open, the far end of the segment is first plugged with the surgeon's finger or with gauze, or if 1 end is covered with cancellous bone, then retrograde filling of the canal with cement is performed from the open end. The cement is then pressurized to ensure complete filling of the intramedullary space. Before it sets, 1 cm of cement is removed from each open end of the allograft to allow for packing of autograft bone cancellous chips and to ensure that cement does not impede anatomic reduction of the allograft-host bone junction. For this step, cancellous autograft from the iliac crest is harvested with use of a separate sterile surgical setup in order to prevent contamination of the autograft site by instruments ","PeriodicalId":44676,"journal":{"name":"JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10807901/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67754798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MIS-TLIF technique often results in less soft-tissue injury compared with the open TLIF technique, reducing postoperative pain and recovery time&lt;sup&gt;1-3&lt;/sup&gt;. However, the narrow surgical aperture of this minimally invasive technique has increased the difficulty of interbody cage placement. Expandable cages were designed to improve ease of insertion, improve visualization around the cage on insertion, reduce neurological retraction and injury by passing the nerve root with the implant in a collapsed state, and enable better disc-height and lordosis restoration on expansion&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;This procedure is performed with the patient under general anesthesia and in a prone position. The appropriate spinal level is identified with use of fluoroscopy, and bilateral paramidline approaches are made utilizing the Wiltse intermuscular approach. Pedicle screws are placed bilaterally. A pedicle-based retractor or tubular retractor is passed along the Wiltse plane, and bilateral inferior facetectomies are performed. A foraminotomy is performed, including a superior facetectomy on the side with compression of the exiting nerve root. A thorough discectomy with end-plate preparation is performed. The disc space is sized with use of trial components. The cage is then implanted with a pre-expansion height less than the trialed height and is expanded under fluoroscopy. After expansion, the cage is backfilled with allograft and local autograft. Finally, the rods are contoured and reduced bilaterally, followed by closure in a multilayered approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alternatives: &lt;/strong&gt;Nonoperative alternatives to the minimally invasive TLIF technique include physical therapy or epidural corticosteroid injections.

We perform arthroscopic AIIS decompression to alleviate this source of extra-articular impingement and eliminate a potential cause of persistent pain following primary hip arthroscopy&lt;sup&gt;5-7&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;After identifying abnormal AIIS morphology on preoperative false-profile radiographs and/or 3D computed tomography, we utilize a beaver blade to make a small incision in the proximal capsule and rectus femoris tendon. This peri-capsulotomy window grants access to the subspine region. We then shuttle an arthroscopic burr into place within this window and begin debriding the subspine deformity under direct visualization. Fluoroscopy is utilized intraoperatively to ensure adequate resection, using intraoperative false-profile views achieved by canting the C-arm approximately 40°. Resection is considered adequate when the AIIS deformity is no longer readily apparent on false-profile views and when intraoperative range-of-motion testing confirms no further impingement with hip hyperflexion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alternatives: &lt;/strong&gt;Femoroacetabular impingement can be treated nonoperatively with use of physical therapy and activity modification&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt;; however, outcomes following nonoperative treatment are inferior to those following hip arthroscopy, according to various studies&lt;sup&gt;9-12&lt;/sup&gt;.

A customized total talar implant is designed with use of computed tomography scans of the healthy opposite side and made of alumina ceramic. The use of such an implant is potentially recommended, with a guarded prognosis, for the treatment of traumatic, steroidal, alcoholic, systemic lupus erythematous, hemophilic, and idiopathic pathologies. The talus is surrounded by the tibia, fibula, calcaneus, and navicular bones, which account for a large portion of the articular surface area. Yoshinaga&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt; reported that alumina ceramic prostheses were superior in terms of congruency and durability of articular cartilage compared with 316L stainless steel in an in vivo test in dogs. Therefore, alumina ceramic is an ideal material for replacement of the talus to preserve postoperative hindfoot mobility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;Total talar replacement is performed with the patient in a supine position. The anterior ankle approach is utilized to exteriorize the talus, facilitating dissection of the ligaments and joint capsule attached to talus. The first osteotomy is performed around the talar neck, perpendicular to the plantar surface of the foot. The talar head fragment is then removed. Subsequent talar osteotomies are performed parallel to the first cutting line, at approximately 2-cm intervals. The attaching articular capsule and ligaments are dissected in each step. The removal of the posterior talar bone fragments is succeeded by careful dissection of the ligament and joint capsule under the periosteum. After dissecting the remaining interosseous talocalcaneal ligament, the foot is distally retracted and a customized talar implant is inserted. After testing and confirming the stability and mobility of the implant, the wound is irrigated with use of normal saline solution. A suction drain is placed anterior to the implant, and the skin is closed after repairing the extensor retinaculum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alternatives: &lt;/strong&gt;In cases with a limited area of necrosis, symptoms may improve with a patellar tendon-bearing brace.

Within the wrist, 60% to 70% of ganglion cysts occur on the dorsal side and 20% to 30% occur on the volar side&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;. Although ganglia arise from multiple sites over the dorsal wrist, dorsal ganglia most commonly originate at the scapholunate joint&lt;sup&gt;2,3&lt;/sup&gt;. Open excision is the standard surgical treatment for dorsal wrist ganglia. This procedure is considered when symptoms such as pain and range-of-motion deficits begin to impact activities of daily living.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;Open excision of a dorsal wrist ganglion is commonly performed with the patient under general anesthesia or a regional block. The patient is placed in the supine position, and a tourniquet is applied on the affected upper limb. After outlining the periphery of the palpable ganglion, the surgeon makes a transverse or longitudinal incision over the ganglion. The surgeon then begins a deep dissection, dissecting through the subcutaneous tissue and isolating the ganglion while avoiding any rupture, if possible. Once the cyst has been identified, extensor tendons surrounding the cyst are retracted and the cyst and stalk are mobilized. The cyst and stalk are subsequently excised, and the wound is closed&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alternatives: &lt;/strong&gt;Alternative treatments for dorsal wrist ganglia include nonoperative interventions such as observation, aspiration, controlled rupture, and injection.

Traditionally, this operation utilizes an intramedullary nail to obtain fusion of the tibiotalocalcaneal joint.

Our surgical technique yields union rates of approximately 80% and provides surgeons with a viable surgical technique for patients with complex hindfoot pathologies or fusion failure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;The patient is placed in the supine position, and a 10-cm curvilinear incision is made including the distal 6 to 8 cm of the fibula. The incision is centered directly lateral on the fibula proximally and transitions to the posterolateral aspect of the fibula distally. As the incision continues distally, it extends inferiorly and anteriorly over the sinus tarsi and toward the base of the 4th metatarsal, using an internervous plane between the superficial peroneal nerve anteriorly and the sural nerve posteriorly. Exposure of the periosteum is carried out through development of full-thickness skin flaps. The periosteum is stripped, and a sagittal saw is used to make a beveled cut on the fibula at a 45° angle, approximately 6 to 8 cm proximal to the ankle. The fibular strut is decorticated, drilled, and stripped of the cartilage on the distal end. Preparation of the tibiotalar and subtalar joints for arthrodesis are completed through the lateral incision. The foot is placed in 0° of dorsiflexion, 5° of external rotation in relation to the tibial crest, and 5° of hindfoot valgus while maintaining a plantigrade foot. This placement can be temporarily maintained with Kirschner wires if needed. Next, the plantar surface overlying the heel pad is incised, and a guidewire is passed through the center of the calcaneus and into the medullary cavity of the tibia. Correct alignment of the guidewire is then confirmed on fluoroscopy. The fibular strut autograft is prepared for insertion while the tibiotalocalcaneal canal is reamed to 1 to 2 mm larger than the graft. The graft is tapped into position, followed by placement of two 6.5-mm cancellous screws to immobilize the join","PeriodicalId":44676,"journal":{"name":"JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10807890/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139565054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Fixation of Lisfranc Injury Using Suspensory Fixation.","authors":"Miraj N Desai, Kevin D Martin","doi":"10.2106/JBJS.ST.21.00066","DOIUrl":"10.2106/JBJS.ST.21.00066","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background: &lt;/strong&gt;This closed reduction and percutaneous fixation (CRPF) technique utilizing suspensory fixation is indicated for the treatment of Lisfranc injuries with displacement or instability of the tarsometatarsal joint complex-and typically only for low-energy, purely ligamentous Lisfranc injuries. The goal of this procedure is to restore joint stability and prevent common complications of Lisfranc injuries (e.g., midfoot arch collapse and posttraumatic arthritis) while avoiding the complications and risks associated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and primary arthrodesis. We recommend performing the procedure within 10 to 14 days of the injury; otherwise, an open debridement may be necessary to address scar tissue formation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description: &lt;/strong&gt;We start with the patient in the supine position and perform a fluoroscopic stress examination of the joint. Next, the Lisfranc joint undergoes closed reduction, which is held in place with a clamp. Following reduction, a guidewire is drilled from the lateral border of the base of the 2nd metatarsal medially through the medial cuneiform, followed by a medial-to-lateral cannulated drill. The suspensory fixation is then passed lateral-to-medial, placing the suture button on the lateral cortex of the 2nd metatarsal base. The tape is then tensioned while a bioabsorbable interference screw is inserted to maintain tension.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alternatives: &lt;/strong&gt;Prior studies have assessed both operative and nonoperative alternatives to CRPF with suspensory fixation for the treatment of Lisfranc injuries. Nonoperative treatment with closed reduction and cast immobilization of Lisfranc injuries is typically reserved for nondisplaced injuries; however, a number of studies have shown poor outcomes with use of this technique&lt;sup&gt;1-3&lt;/sup&gt;. The 2 most common operative alternatives are ORIF and primary arthrodesis&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rationale: &lt;/strong&gt;CRPF with suspensory fixation offers several benefits over both traditional surgical techniques such as ORIF and primary arthrodesis, as well as over percutaneous reduction and internal fixation (PRIF) with a screw. Compared with ORIF and primary arthrodesis, a number of studies have shown that percutaneous treatment of Lisfranc injuries minimizes soft-tissue trauma and reduces the risk of postoperative complications such as wound breakdown, infection, and complex regional pain syndrome, while allowing for earlier participation in rehabilitation&lt;sup&gt;5-10&lt;/sup&gt;. A systematic review of outcomes following PRIF with screw fixation also showed that percutaneous treatment of Lisfranc injuries is a safe and effective technique with good functional outcomes&lt;sup&gt;11&lt;/sup&gt;. When comparing PRIF with a screw to our technique of CRPF with suspensory fixation, CRPF has the added benefit of creating a nonrigid fixation in the Lisfranc joint, which allows for increased range of motion of the medial column and improved return t","PeriodicalId":44676,"journal":{"name":"JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10807883/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67754552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
