Early Surgical Treatment

Introduction: The Multiligament Knee Injury is a complex knee problem and mostly associated with subluxation or dislocation of knee joint. Failure to diagnose and treat them appropriately can leads to devastating outcome particularly high-grade injury (Schenck Type 3,4 and 5). We favor single stage early surgical treatment of high grade Multiligament knee injury which leads to good functional outcome and return to work. Hypotheses: Single stage early surgical treatment of high grade Multiligament knee injury will leads to good functional outcome with higher IKDC and Lysholm score and helps the patients to in return early to work with higher satisfaction rate. Methods: From June 2013 to January 2020, 42 patients with age from 18 years to 56 years with acute (< 6 weeks) Multiligament knee injury included in surgical treatment. Patients with neurovascular injury were not included in study. From 42 patients, 28 patients was type 3,8 patients was type 4 and 6 patients was type 5 in this study. In all 42 patients, single stage treatment first Intraarticular ligament (anterior cruciate ligament ACL, posterior cruciate ligament PCL or both) reconstruction done by arthroscopic method then Extraarticular ligament (medial collateral ligament MCL, lateral collateral ligament LCL, Posterolateral corner PLC) treated with repair/augmentation/reconstruction depending upon status of ligaments by open method. We used only autograft (hamstring and peroneal longus tendon) of same limb or contralateral limb. Patient evaluation done with IKDC and Lyshlom score both in preoperative and postoperative period. Patient limb was kept in full extention in brace and started with aggressive physiotherapy with passive ROM at 2 weeks in post operative period . Follow up done at 2 weeks then every 6 weeks interval till 6 months then every 3 months interval. Partial weight bearing started at 6 weeks and full weight bearing usually between 10 weeks to 12 weeks. Results: Road traffic accident was the most common cause of Multiligament knee injury. Average follow up was 4 years (range 2 to 6.5 years) .40 % has excellent ,40% has good and 20% has average result. There was a significant improvement in both outcome scores as compared with the preoperative scores. Postoperatively average IKDC was 78 and Lyshlom was 86. Terminal restriction of knee movement was in 19% patients particularly those associated with medial side injury was the major complication in our study. Manipulation under anaesthesia was done in 4 cases and implant removal in 1 case and arthroscopic synovectomy and long term antibiotic in 1 case who develop early infection. Gade 1 posterior laxity and grade 1 varus stress was observed in 10 patints.Recovery after surgery takes 9 to 12 months of rehabilitation prior to returning to full activities. Conclusion: Proper evaluation and full diagnosis is key in Multiligament injury of knee. Failure to treat all injured structure can lead to change in knee kinematics and poorer outcome and increased risk for graft failure.Operative treatment with proper rehabilitation yields good functional and clinical outcome with early return to work and sports activity.

Catastrophic Failures

Category: Sports Introduction/Purpose: The Achilles tendon is the most commonly injured tendon in the lower extremity. Whether these ruptures are acute or chronic, a surgical Achilles repair or reconstruction is often needed to restore tendon integrity and function. Risks from such surgeries include superficial or deep wound infections and/or dehiscence. To date, there is scant literature regarding the treatment of catastrophic failures of Achilles tendon repairs or reconstructions from deep wound infection and dehiscence. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively examine clinical outcomes from uniform single-stage surgical treatment of catastrophic failures of Achilles tendon repairs or reconstructions from deep wound complications. Methods: Between 2007 and 2016, 10 patients developed a deep wound infection and dehiscence after surgical treatment of an acute or chronic Achilles rupture. Medical co-morbidities included obesity in 4, diabetes in 3, and nicotine use in 2 patients. Six and 4 patients had a mid-substance and insertional Achilles rupture respectively. Three patients had an acute injury that received an end-to-end suture repair. Seven patients had a chronic injury with Achilles retraction, which necessitated proximal Achilles or gastrocnemius lengthening. These patients required surgery for their wound problem due to depth and involvement of their Achilles repair/reconstruction site. Surgery involved a single-stage wound irrigation and debridement, Achilles excisional debridement at the repair/reconstruction site, flexor hallucis longus transfer to the calcaneus to replace the compromised or failed Achilles repair/reconstruction, and primary or vacuum assisted wound closure. Patients were followed for 6 months after this surgery and invited for recent follow-up to collect data. Results: With uniform surgical treatment, full resolution of deep wound infection and dehiscence after Achilles repair/reconstruction was achieved in all 10 patients. No patients developed a recurrence of wound complications and/or infection to necessitate any further surgical debridements. All 10 patients presented for recent follow-up at a mean of 57.3 months. Mean Foot and Ankle Ability Measures increased from 36.3% at initial presentation before Achilles repair/reconstructive surgery to 84.2% at latest follow-up (P<0.05). Mean Visual Analog Scores of pain decreased from 6.6 of 10 before the Achilles repair/reconstruction to 1.5 of 10 at latest follow-up (P<0.05). All patients were able to return to normal gait and full activities at home, with 3 reporting difficulties with prolonged ankle activities at work. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that our method of single-stage surgical treatment of catastrophic failures of Achilles tendon repairs or reconstructions from deep wound complications can achieve a high rate of improved patient function and pain relief. Clinical outcomes of treating patients with this particular complication of Achilles repair/reconstruction in this manner have not been previously reported in the orthopaedic literature. As catastrophic failures of Achilles tendon repairs or reconstructions from deep wound complications are studied further, our method of surgical care should be strongly considered as treatment.

Portal Biliopathy

Portal hypertension, especially when it is caused by extrahepatic portal vein thrombosis, is commonly followed by the development of an abnormal periportal and pericholedochal variceal network, which form a portal cavernoma. This may exert extrinsic pressure on the adjacent biliary ducts and gallblader, causing morphologic abnormalities, termed portal biliopathy, which is usually leading to asymptomatic cholestasis, while less frequently it can be associated with obstructive jaundice, gallstone formation, and cholangitis. Endoscopic stone extraction can effectively treat portal biliopathy when cholangitis is associated with common bile duct stones. Portosystemic shunts are indicated in cases of disease recurrence as they can achieve regression of portal cavernoma and usually relieve symptomatic portal biliopathy. This case describes an alternative partial portosystemic shunt that utilizes the right ovarian vein as an autologous conduit for the surgical treatment of symptomatic portal biliopathy.
