Common peroneal nerve injury is present in 40% of knee dislocations, and foot drop is the principal complication. Posterior tibial tendon transfer is a viable solution to replace the function of the anterior tibial tendon (ATT) in the mid-foot. Several techniques for posterior tibial tendon transfer exist today, with variable results reported. However, adding augmentation with side-to-side tenorrhaphy of ATT to the transferred posterior tibial tendon (PTT) enhances anterior tissue balance and load sharing stress between native ATT enthesis and PTT tenodesis, allowing early rehabilitation and improving functional outcomes. Side-to-side tenorrhaphy is performed after PTT tenodesis in the lateral cuneiform to improve reliability in foot drop. This technique allows shorter immobilization time (from 6 to 2 weeks), earlier rehabilitation, sooner weight-bearing, and decreased risk of arthrofibrosis, scar formation, and muscle atrophy.

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations represent one of the most common lesions in the shoulder. Arthroscopic reduction and ACJ fixation with the button system is one of the most used techniques for displaced and unstable dislocations. Difficulties with placing the tunnels in the central and correct position of the clavicular and coracoid can occur with the use of a guide, which can result in fractures, eccentric tunnel position, cortical rupture, prolongation of surgical times with its complications as bleeding, tissue infiltration, difficult visualization, and increased risk of infection. Prior free hand central tunnel placement in the clavicle with a 3.2 mm drill helps to keep in place the pin guide over the superior cortical of coracoid with reduction of guide movement to enhance the correct position of tunnel in the coracoid process avoiding bone complications.
