An alternate repair technique is the use of whip stitches for the tendon that are passed through two small transosseous tunnels. internal DerivedFrom TECHNIQUE. GTS_PDFXConformance The donor graft is then passed through the tibial tunnel and into the femoral tunnel and fixed using a variety of fixation methods including screws, suspensory apparatus … endstream The sutures are then tightened and tied deep to the quadriceps tendon, with the knee in full extension. Full weight bearing with the knee in full extension is theoretically possible immediately. It is common for the tendons to be folded over each other in order to increase the thickness of the donor graft. http://springernature.com/ns/xmpExtensions/2.0/ Text Fig. Bag AuthorInformation Then a hinged knee brace with an arc of motion of 0-90 degrees would then be used for 4-6 weeks and would be slowly increased. ResourceRef 1 0 obj name A transverse tunnel is drilled in the midportion of the patella, the hamstring graft is passed through the patella, and firmly secured to the patellar tunnel openings with sutures. An image intensifier should always be available so that the final result can be checked in the AP and lateral planes. Hold the opposite. internal During tendon autograft harvest, either a grasping suture or traditional whip stitch can be used to grasp tendon prior to definitive bone fixation. Font internal editor 2017-11-06T14:27:56+01:00 URI Although the whip-stitch technique provides additional points of fixation along the biceps tendon, we hypothesize that the simple suture technique is an appropriate alternative to provide equivalent strength and integrity in maintaining the bone-screw-tendon interface in suprapectoral intraosseous biceps tenodesis with interference screw fixation. 3).

This procedure is normally performed with the patient in a supine position with the knee flexed 30°. Corporate . internal At the time of surgery, the surgeon determines how much flexion the repaired knee can tolerate. Using a suture passer from proximal to distal, pull the free ends of the sutures through the proximal segment. 2 Gives the ORCID of an author.

Tendon rupture Tendon split lengthening technique for flexor hallucis longus tendon rupture This article presents a single anterior incision suture anchor technique using a locking "whip" stitch to repair distal biceps tendon injuries. editorInfo To protect this suture repair during the healing process, a protective cerclage wire can be passed around the upper pole of the patella and through a transverse drill hole at the tibial tubercle.
