1 9/19/2013 Vumedi Webinar 2013 Tibial Inlay Is My Preferred PCL Reconstruction Technique Daniel E. Cooper, M.D. The Carrell Clinic Dallas, Texas USA DISCLOSURE: I, Daniel E. Cooper MD, have no financial interest related to this topic. Consultant and Royalties Stryker Endoscopy However. I prefer to not have to reconstruct I look for the opportunity to repair certain acute PCL injuries ie. Peel-off lesions 1
2 9/19/2013 Arthroscopic PCL Primary Repair Rationale for Tibial Inlay Fixation Technique Marginal results of tibial tunnel techniques - open or arthroscopic Early rigid fixation - close to anatomic Approach - Burks CORR 1990 Early experience - Berg Arthros Current Problems with 2 Tunnel Technique Difficult arthroscopic technique Vascular injury when reaming? Fixation slippage or creep / fixation issues Killer turn? long-term results 2
3 9/19/2013 Potential Advantages of Tibial Inlay Fixation Eliminates potential for anterior placement No killer turn Jung et al ISAKOS 99 (observed fraying) No tunnel erosion Ideal for revisions Allows large graft size Graft passage Secure initial fixation Biomechanical Studies Inlay vs. Tunnel *Initial stability 4.4mm 72 cycles Bergfeld AJSM 01 *Less graft elongation - 318% straight vs. 90 degree turn Raasch AAOS 99 *Improved failure, thinning and elongation 2000 cyc 3.9 mm Markolf JBJS 2002 Clinical Studies Early clinical report Berg Arthros 95 2 Year Min f/u 7 cases (compared to 13 cases) Isolated cases only 5.5mm SSD (57% / 38%) MacGillivray AOSSM Year f/u 44 cases Cooper AJSM
4 9/19/2013 Tibial Inlay PCL Reconstruction Technique Supine Positioning - The more unstable the knee, the easier the positioning. - Not well suited for the obese patient. Graft Selection BTB Autograft BTB contralat Auto. BTB Allograft Achilles Allograft Quad Autograft Currently prefer Allograft BTB X = mm for each inch over 5 0 tall 6 0 = X-57 4
5 9/19/2013 Graft Preparation BTB Allograft: Plan for appropriate length 1 or 2 grafts from whole construct (prefer male donor) 11mm femoral tunnel 12mm width inlay plug soft tissue width Single Bundle Femoral Tunnel Single Bundle Femoral Tunnel 5

10 9/19/2013 Double Bundle Femoral Tunnel Double Bundle Femoral Tunnel 10
11 9/19/2013 Revision PCL Case Inlay, not onlay Screw - may create stress riser in bone plug leading to plug fractrure Example Cases Inlay Revision - Telos 2 yr.. postop Control Study 11
12 9/19/2013 Revision PCL Case Inlay PCL after Prior ACL + PCL primary repair 2 yr po Telos Control Preop Postop Final Telos Case Examples 12
13 9/19/2013 Tibial Inlay Case: 2 yr f/u Tibial Inlay Case: 2 yr f/u PCL Reconstruction Using Single Bundle B-PT-B Graft with Tibial Inlay Fixation: 2-10 Year Follow-up of 44 cases 35 Preop all 3+ or 4+ Postop ave. improvement of PDS by 2 grades PDS Preop EUA (Mean 3.2) PDS Final (Mean.95) 40 of 41 had solid endpoint on PDS Cooper et al AJSM March
14 9/19/2013 PCL Reconstruction Using Single Bundle B-PT-B Graft with Tibial Inlay Fixation: 2-10 Year Follow-up of 44 cases Final Telos Ave. 4.1 mm whole study group (-2-10mm) Ave. roughly 1+ PDS 20% - 8/41 cases had 8-10 mm Final Telos 8 (Mean 4.11 mm) Cooper et al AJSM March 2004 PCL Reconstruction Using Double Bundle B-PT-B Graft with Tibial Inlay Fixation: 1 Year Follow-up of 15 cases Ave. 4.3 mm whole study group (0-8 mm) Ave. roughly 1+ PDS 20% - 3/15 cases had 8 mm PD Cooper, unpublished 2007 Conclusion Tibial Inlay Technique: My initial experience with revision PCL reconstruction using inlay fixation technique led me to further use. Better endpoint to posterior translation Average SSD 4.2 mm - equates to average of < 1+ posterior drawer (Series with 70% combined ligament reconstruction) 14
15 9/19/2013 Conclusion Tibial Inlay Technique: Has advantages and disadvantages (positioning) Useful in revision cases I think it is worth the hassle Need to compare 1 vs. 2 bundle techniques with inlay not tibial tunnel! Is 2 bundle worth the hassle? THANK YOU Daniel E. Cooper, M.D. W.B. Carrell Memorial Clinic Dallas, Texas 15
