Technical pitfalls of collateral ligament surgery.

Jacobson KE. Clin Sports Med 1999 Oct;18(4):847-82.

The technical pitfalls of collateral ligament surgery include: Failure to properly diagnose and appropriately recommend surgery; posterolateral instability is the most commonly missed acute associated instability pattern Failure to correct all components of the injury (see Table 1): lateral meniscus, arcuate ligament, and popliteus, lateral gastrocnemius, and biceps muscles Failure to properly reattach and repair the damaged structures Peroneal nerve damage during the surgical approach and repair Wound problems: breakdown, hematoma Loss of motion This article presented a concise introduction to the anatomy of the collateral and capsular ligaments of the knee. This information should prove valuable in avoiding pitfalls in the diagnostic and surgical approach to the knee. To fully appreciate the anatomy, one must study it in the anatomy laboratory by performing repeated dissections. Only then can one appreciate how beautifully all of the structures function in unison. Application of this knowledge will help surgeons continue to improve and refine their approach to knee injuries.

UDSPÆNDING
(5 min)

Lie on your back. Draw the injured leg up towards your head so that the muscles in the back of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Perform the exercise with outstretched as well as bent knee. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be performed standing with the injured leg outstretched on a chair while the upper body is bent slightly forwards.

Stand with support from the back of a chair or the wall. Using your hand, bend the knee and draw the foot up and your knee slightly backwards so that the muscles in the front of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be done lying down. If you lie on your stomach you can draw the foot up by using a towel.

Lie on your side on a table. Bend one leg up under your body and let the other hang over the edge of the table so that the muscles in the outer side of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be done standing by placing the outstretched injured leg behind the good leg at the same time as bending over the injured leg.

Stand with one leg outstretched and the other slightly bent. Thrust your weight to the side over the bent leg so that the inner side of the opposite thigh becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

KOORDINATION
(10 min)

Seesaw. Balance on two legs, possibly using a hand as support against the wall, balancing subsequently on one leg without support. Look straight ahead and keep knees bent.

Stand on the injured leg with your upper body bent forwards at 90 degrees. Lift the good leg in a straight line behind you. When you feel comfortable with the exercise, it can be made more difficult by closing your eyes.

STYRKE
(45 min)

Sit on a chair with elastic around the ankle, facing the elastic. Lift the leg and slowly bend and stretch the knee.

Stand on the healthy leg with the elastic around the inside of the injured leg. Move the injured leg from side to side in a slow smooth movement. Moving the position of the elastic lower down the leg can increase the load.

Stand on the healthy leg with the elastic around the outside of the injured leg. Move the injured leg from side to side in a slow smooth movement. Moving the position of the elastic lower down the leg can increase the load.

Lie on your side on a mattress or bench. Stretch the lower leg whilst the upper leg is slightly bent. Lift the lower leg stretched upwards. Gradually increase the load by attaching a sandbag to the ankle.

Stand with elastic around the hip. Step forward over one knee and hold the front foot firmly against the floor. Bend the rear leg and go forward onto your toes. Remember to change leg.

Stand with your back to the wall with your weight on both feet. Slowly go down and bend the knee to 90 degrees, and slowly rise again.

Lie on your back with a ball or firm round cushion under the injured leg. Lift your backside up from the floor and stretch the healthy leg. Hold the position for a few seconds.

Lie on your back with a ball or firm round cushion under both feet. Roll the ball backwards and forwards in a steady pace while lifting your backside.

Lie on your back with legs bent and a ball between your knees. Squeeze your knees together for 25 seconds, and rest for 10 seconds before repeating.

Stretching is carried out in the following way: stretch the muscle group for 3-5 seconds. Relax for 3-5 seconds. The muscle group should subsequently be stretched for 20 seconds. The muscle is allowed to be tender, but must not hurt. Relax for 20 seconds, after which the procedure can be repeated.

The time consumed for stretching, coordination and strength training can be altered depending on the training opportunities available and individual requirements.

Ligament lesions of the knee joint in childhood

Ritter G, Neugebauer H. Z Kinderchir 1989 Apr;44(2):94-6. Z Kinderchir 1989 Apr;44(2):94-6
As a matter of principle, all lesions of the knee associated with haemarthrosis must be examined for internal injuries. Ligament ruptures are rare; usually, there are bony ligament tears that show up on x-ray film. Examination of ligament stability in children is useful only if the x-ray is negative and after the knee joint has been punctured under anaesthesia, and can be justified only in that case. Diagnosis is possible only by means of x-ray films taken in forced extreme joint position in two planes, with lateral comparison. Treatment of all non-dislocated ligament tears is conservative; slight dislocations can be tolerated in cruciate and capsular ligaments, since the epiphyseal cartilage is not affected. Surgery should be performed only if tears are considerably dislocated. Proximal tears of collateral ligaments are epiphyseal fractures that can be treated conservatively only if there is no dislocation; if they are dislocated, surgery is absolutely mandatory.

Operative versus non-operative treatment of recent injuries to the ligaments of the knee. A prospective randomized study.

Sandberg R, Balkfors B, Nilsson B, Westlin N. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1987 Oct;69(8):1120-6.

Two hundred consecutively seen patients who had an injury to either the anterior cruciate ligament or the medial collateral ligament, or both, were randomly allocated to treatment by either conservative or a surgical regimen. Injuries to the medial collateral ligament could not be demonstrated to benefit from surgical treatment in any respect–with or without surgery the results were excellent. With injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament, recovery was more rapid without surgery but otherwise the results differed between the groups in only one respect: the pivot-shift test was more often positive after conservative treatment. The results were good in both treatment groups even though most of the patients who had an injury of the anterior cruciate ligament were somewhat less pleased with the outcome after a period of time.
