“…Local sensitivity is such that even small endobutton plates (Smith and Nephew, Andover, MA, USA) used for ACL reconstruction may cause pain in the region, as reported by Taketomi et al [26]. Helito et al, in a case series with PLC femoral fixation using screws with toothed washers, encountered lateral pain in 50 % of patients [12].…”

“…Both advantages and complications have been described with aperture and suspensory fixation methods. Interference screws are subject to failure, fracture, and intra-articular migration 11 - 14 , whereas suspensory buttons have been associated with iliotibial band and extensor tendon irritation, detachment, migration, and tunnel widening 15 - 18 .…”

“…There have been several case reports documenting the potential complications of utilizing cortical suspensory fixation for ACL surgery, in particular device malpositioning or soft tissue interposition between the device and the femoral cortex during fixation. [24][25][26][27] Simonian et al noted a case where the device was fixed 10 mm off of the lateral femoral cortex, with soft tissue interposition between the device and the cortex. 24 Muneta et al reported a case where the device was away from the lateral femoral cortex and was "flipped" within the popliteal space.…”

Increased laxity within the graft construct system can lead to graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Suboptimal cortical device positioning could lead to increased laxity within the system, which could influence the mechanics and function of the graft reconstruction. This study evaluates the benefit of intraoperative fluoroscopy to confirm device position on the femur during ACL reconstruction using cortical suspensory fixation. One hundred consecutive patients who underwent soft tissue ACL reconstruction using a suspensory cortical device for femoral fixation were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were split into two groups: Group A utilized anteromedial portal visualization and had intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging performed at the time of ACL graft fixation to confirm femoral device placement on the lateral femoral metaphyseal cortex. Group B utilized anteromedial portal visualization alone. Both groups had radiographic X-rays performed at the first postoperative visit to evaluate device location and all images were independently evaluated by three fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeons. Device position was classified as optimal if there was complete apposition of the entire device against the femoral cortex and suboptimal if it was > 2 mm off the cortex. Fisher's exact test, analysis of variance, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to compare the groups for statistical significance. The results showed 0/60 (0%) patients in group A had suboptimal device position at postoperative follow-up, while 4/40 (10%) patients in group B had suboptimal device position (p = 0.013). There were no graft failures in group A and one graft failure in group B. There was a significant difference in cortical device position in patients who had intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging versus patients who had no intraoperative imaging. The use of confirmatory intraoperative imaging may be beneficial to confirm appropriate device location when using a femoral cortical suspensory fixation technique for ACL reconstruction.
