Transcription

1 Exposure Aaron G Rosenberg MD Professor of Orthopedic Surgery Rush Medical College Chicago, Illinois Exposure - Incision Single incision can be used or modified Multiple longitudinal incisions favor the more lateral Transverse or oblique? create crossing at widest angle to minimize wound complications EXPOSURE Extend old incision proximally Expose virgin quadriceps tendon Dissect into virgin territory proximally Find a healthy fascial layer Keep skin and fat together Blood supply is sub-dermal

2 Things to worry about! Diabetes Steroids Smokers Vascularity Plastic Surgery & Flaps may help Be prepared for complications Preoperative Sham (delayed) Incision Skin Expansion Postoperative Gastroc Flap Free Flap Myo-cutaneous Rotation Flap Principles of Exposure 1) Take your time 2) Keep your eye on the patellar tendon 3) Protect the patellar tendon 4) Remove intra-articular scar 5) Free supra-patellar pouch 6) Sublux patella 7) Attack the gutters medially and laterally PROTECT THE PATELLAR TENDON

3 4 Leashes Quad Medial Retinaculum Patella Lateral Retinaculum Patellar Tendon Patellar Eversion Requires 180 o Rotation About the Long Axis Patella Medial Tendon Lateral Tubercle Clear medial gutter Attempt patellar eversion Externally rotate the tibia

4 Scar Lateral to the Tendon Inferolateral patellar tendon scar must be debrided as needed

5 Principles of Exposure Patellar subluxation is usually adequate eversion not needed Place pin in tendon if in doubt Obtain more release if needed Snip V/Y Tubercle Osteotomy The Quad Snip Takes tension off quadriceps tendon proximal leash Requires no modification of postop therapy Can be made more extensile Extending the Snip V/Y Turndown Much more exposure Allows quadriceps lengthening Requires rehab modification 10% patellar osteonecrosis

6 Turndown?? Even without lengthening Quads can be weak Lags are frequent Lengthening makes this worse Reserve for combined quad + flexion contracture Quad Lengthening?

7 Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy Widest exposure Good for repeat debridement Heals reliably Allows extensor lengthening Exposes IM canal Stress riser may lead to fracture Requires rehab modification Primum non nocere Don t Disrupt The Extensor Obtain Excellent Exposure Access the fixation interface accurately Disrupt interface without damaging surrounding structures Use minimum force Maximize Remaining Bone Stock

36 Goals for Rx of Segmental Bone Defects in Total Knee Replacement Tibia Provide stable support for implant Stabilize knee with correct polyethylene All Tibial Cavitary Defects, Of Any Size, Can Be Treated With Impacted Cancellous Graft Bone grafts, not metal augments, are the treatment of choice in all CAVITARY defects Small Tibial Segmental Defects Can Be Treated With Bone Grafts Cavitary Small segmental <25% peripheral rim <10mm deep Does Not Support Implant! <25% 2

37 Drawbacks of Bone Grafts for Rx of Femoral Bone Defects Preparation of desired graft shape is imprecise (free-hand): Joint Line establishment difficult Allografts of correct size/shape may be difficult to obtain Large allografts are expensive Attachment of graft to host bone is technically demanding and dependent upon host bone quality (less reliable in osteoporotic bone) Drawbacks of Bone Grafts for Rx of Femoral Bone Defects Graft union to host bone is unpredictable Large allografts may weaken with time resulting in loss of implant support (esp. if deformity/instability) Incorporation of large allografts is incomplete/unpredictable Advantages of Metal Augments for Rx of Femoral Bone Loss Preparation of bone for augment is done using instruments which increases accuracy and reproducibility of procedure Precise posterior augment cut Resection for posterior augment 3

38 Advantages of Metal Augments for Rx of Femoral Bone Loss Placed on firm, viable host bone, assuring stable fixation Advantages of Metal Augments for Rx of Femoral Bone Loss It is important to have available femoral stems of appropriate size and offset when using metal augments: Provides Implant: 1) Stability 2) Orientation Goals for Rx of Bone Defects in Total Knee Replacement Femur: Establish correct joint line distally and posteriorly Provide stable support for implant Posterior joint line Distal joint line 4

39 Outline of Surgical Technique 1) Measure distal Jt.
