2 Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release Surgical Technique Surgical technique developed by: Amol Saxena, D.P.M., FACFAS Clinical Instructor Department of Sports Medicine Palo Alto Medical Foundation 759 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA USA Indications Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release (EGR) is indicated in the treatment of posterior heel cord contracture (equinus) in those patients who fail to respond to a full course of conservative management. Appropriate patients include those undergoing reconstruction of foot deformity and those with potential for neuropathic ulceration (i.e., diabetics). A patent has been applied for. Training For safe and effective use, surgeons must have thorough knowledge of leg anatomy, open procedures for the gastrocnemius release/recession and surgical technique using this instrumentation (Figure 1). Instructional video tapes and cadaver workshops are strongly recommended. Warning If, while performing this technique, any problems should arise (such as anatomical anomalies, inadequate visualizations, inability to identify anatomy, or questions concerning technique or instrumentation), the surgeon should abandon the endoscopic gastrocnemius release and convert to an open procedure. Acknowledgements We would like to thank: Dan Bareither, Ph.D., for access to the cadaver lab at the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. Arthur Widtfeldt, D.P.M., for contributing his patients and ideas. Proper surgical procedures and techniques are the responsibility of the medical professional. The following guidelines are furnished for informational purposes only. Each surgeon must evaluate the appropriateness of the procedures based on his or her personal medical training and experience. Prior to use of the system, the surgeon should refer to the product package insert for complete warnings, precautions, indications, contraindications and adverse effects. Package inserts are also available by contacting Wright Medical Technology, Inc. 2 EGR Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release
3 Headline Surgical Headline Technique Appendix Locking Device Introduction There are advantages to the Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release (EGR). They include smaller incision(s) with less loss of function in the early postoperative period and the ability to regain propulsion. Concerns with endoscopic surgical techniques include potential complications (such as neurovascular injury), as well as a learning curve. Scope-Mounting Blade Elevator Obturator Rasp Positioning the Patient The heel may be placed on a sterile bulky towel roll if the patient is supine. This allows the instruments to pass freely. The surgeon must take care, however, not to allow the knee to be in recurvatum when assessing ankle dorsiflexion. Alternatively, as an isolated procedure, the EGR may be performed with the patient in the prone position. Anesthesia General anesthesia is preferred. Incision Palpate the Achilles tendon. Identify a region 10 cm 15 cm proximal to the medial malleolus. Make a 1 cm 2 cm vertical incision medially, posterior to the neurovascular structures and 2 cm 3 cm below the medial gastrocnemius muscle belly (Figure 2 and Figure 3). Cannula 1-2cm Figure 1 EGR Instrumentation Figure cm Vertical Incision Figure 3 Elevator PROFEMUR RAZ Total Hip System 3 EGR Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release
4 Creating the Pathway Using the Fascial Elevator, bluntly dissect down to the fascia. Separate the subcutaneous tissue (which contains the neurovascular structures including the greater saphenous vein, medial sural cutaneous, sural, and saphenous nerves) from the gastrocnemius fascia. Remove the Fascial Elevator and introduce the Cannula/Obturator assembly into the same pathway. Remove the Obturator from the Cannula and insert a 4 mm, 30 endoscope. The neurovascular structures are completely protected in this manner. Identification of the Gastrocnemius Fascia Insert the endoscope into the Cannula to visualize the gastrocnemius fascia (Figure 4). The fascia is well visualized and looks similar to endoscopic visualization of the plantar fascia. If the fibers of the gastrocnemius fascia are not clearly defined, the Rasp may be passed through the Cannula several times to remove soft tissue adhering to the gastrocnemius fascia. Note: Throughout the procedure, whenever necessary, sterile absorbent swabs may be used to remove fluid from within the Cannula. With the endoscope reintroduced into the Cannula, rotate 180 to view the sural nerve laterally. Identification of the nerve will aid in avoidance. Once identified, rotate the Cannula back 180 to protect the neurovascular structures. Figure 4 Visualize the Gastrocnemius Fascia Lateral Port In order to improve visualization, an optional lateral port may be created by first transluminating laterally from the medial approach. This should help reveal any potential branches from the sural nerve. Also, the Cannula may be angled upward slightly since the lateral gastrocnemius muscle belly does not extend as far inferiorly as it does medially. Carefully make a cut down incision over the protruding Cannula laterally. Introduce a Fraser suction tip irrigation device into the Cannula through the lateral portal, thus improving visualization throughout the procedure. Division of Gastrocnemius Fascia Temporarily remove the endoscope and affix the patent-pending Scope-Mounting Blade onto the endoscope using the locking device (as shown on page 6). Introduce the Scope-Mounted Blade into the Cannula and, as you observe the monitor, divide the gastrocnemius fascia in a medial-to-lateral direction by advancing the Scope-Mounted Blade through the Cannula (Figure 5). Follow the curvature of the gastrocnemius fascia while making your release. Dorsiflexion while cutting, as well as pushing against the Cannula from below, are two technical maneuvers that will increase the depth of the gastrocnemius transection. Figure 5 Divide the Gastrocnemius Fascia If inadequate release is obtained from the medial approach, a lateral portal can be created. After transluminating, carefully make an incision, avoiding neurovascular structures laterally over the Cannula with a slight angle. Angling superoposteriorally may improve visualization, as the lateral gastrocnemius aponeurosis extends more superior. Remove all instrumentation and reinsert laterally to perform an additional lateral-to-medial release. 4 EGR Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release
5 Confirming Adequate Release Remove the Scope-Mounted Blade from the endoscope and introduce the endoscope into the Cannula to visualize the divided fascia. A complete division is accomplished when the overlying muscle is seen without any intervening fibers of the gastrocnemius fascia (Figure 6). Additionally, rotate your view to ensure the neurovascular structures are intact. If at least 10 of dorsiflexion is not noted, explore the medial incision and extend as necessary. This is in order to transect, under direct visualization, any remaining medial fibers of the gastrocnemius aponeurosis and the plantaris tendon. Figure 6 Overlying Muscle Warning: The disposable Scope-Mounting Blade is designed for one-time use only. Resterilization may result in blade detachment, potentially causing harm to the patient. Skin Closure/Dressings Remove the Cannula from the foot using the Obturator and flush the area with normal saline. Close the incision with horizontal suture(s). Infiltrate the surgical area with 5 cc of 0.5% marcaine plain. Apply a sterile compressive gauze dressing and release the tourniquet. Apply a 4-inch elastic bandage, along with a posterior splint or below-the-knee cast, at 90. Postoperative Care Allow patients to be fully weight-bearing if no other procedure is performed. An additional reconstructive procedure determines weight-bearing and immobilization status. Re-evaluate the patient at the 2nd or 3rd week for suture removal and at two or three months, with a one-year postoperative follow-up. Encourage weight-bearing to the patient s own tolerances. Depending on the patient s occupation, return-to-work intervals can vary from 3 days to 4 weeks (Saxena). EGR Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release 5
