ACL Avulsion Re-Attachment - Suture Bridge Technique With Two 4.5 mm Bone Tunnels

Description

Dr. Sharath K.R. welcomes viewers to his channel as he demonstrates the arthroscopic technique for reattaching a tibial spine avulsion injury alongside the ACL. He details the surgical process, beginning with the examination of the injury site, where fragments and clots are identified. Utilizing a shoulder scorpion instrument, he retrieves a thread to cinch around the ACL, with specific techniques for securing it through the anteromedial and anterolateral portals.



Dr. Sharath emphasizes the importance of carefully handling the bony fragments during the procedure to ensure proper reattachment and prevent avulsion. He describes his use of a bony bridge technique, which separates two holes created through the patellar tendon, facilitating compression of the fracture site while also securing the ACL. Throughout the video, he explains the surgical considerations needed to avoid complications and ensure the stability of the reattached structures.



By the end of the demonstration, viewers are informed about the completion of the surgery and are encouraged to like, share, and subscribe for more educational content related to arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and robotic surgeries, rounding off with gratitude for their viewership.
