SOAP Note S: 19 year old female collegiate gymnast was doing giants on the pit bar and hands slipped off mid swing. Landed into the pit below with more weight on the right leg, felt knee buckle bad, and heard a pop. She had to be pulled out of the pit because of how unstable her knee felt. She reports an initial pain of 9/10 when the fall happened there was sharp pain. She has a history of hyperextending her knees. She has not done anything for the injury, it just occurred O: Major deformity of the knee, tibia and femur misaligned. Inflammation and heat over area, severe muscle guarding. Athlete is not able to perform any range of motion or manual muscles test. Neurovascular is intact but slightly diminished on affected leg; pulse can be felt in the posterior distal tibia region and the dorsal pedal region. A: Knee dislocation with possible multi-ligament injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL) P: Athlete was immediately taken to the hospital for further tests and attempted reduction of dislocation; referred by team physician on site. Further plans will be made when diagnosis is final; most likely surgery will occur to repair damage done followed by treatment to return to gymnastics. Surgical Procedure The surgical procedure for multi-ligament reconstruction is used to provide a functional and stable joint. Typically the ACL and PCL are reconstructed in the standard way and the MCL, depending on the severity, is seen to heal on its own with functional bracing1. A combined PCL and ACL reconstruction surgery begins with the decision of what type of graft to use. It is recommended an Achilles allograft is used for the PCL and a hamstring autograft is used for the ACL1. The tissue is prepared and arthroscopic instruments are placed in the correct position. To resect the hamstring graft the surgeon will make an incision along the anterior tibia where the hamstring attaches. The tendons are arranged into three or four strips, which will increase the strength of the graft, then the surgeon stiches the strips together to hold them in place1.Arthroscopic instruments are placed in the superior lateral portal, inferior lateral patellar portal, inferior medial patellar portal, and the superior medial portal1. An accessory extracapsular extra-articular posteromedial safety incision is used to protect the neurovascular structures1. Notch preparation is performed and removal of any debris of the torn ligaments is removed. The arm of the PCL/ACL guide is inserted to make the tibial tunnel for the PCL graft; the tunnel is drilled to the posterior cortex of the tibia2. The surgeon will insert their finger into the safety incision to confirm the placement of the guide wire and graft. The femoral tunnel can be made from the inside out; the right size guide wire is drilled through the aimer, through the bone, and out through a small skin incision2. The aimer is removed and an acorn reamer is used to finish the tunnel for the PCL graft. It will be anchored with a bioabsorbable interference screw and spiked ligament washer back-up fixation2. The ACL tunnels can be made with a single-incision technique2. The tibial tunnel begins externally and comes through the stump of the previous ACL footprint. The femoral tunnel is positioned on the medial wall of the lateral condyle2. The ACL graft is then put in position and anchored, by a bioabsorbable interference screw and spiked ligament washer back-up fixation, on the femoral side followed by tensioning and fixation on the tibial side2. Tension is placed on each of the grafts and the knee is put through a full range of motion as well as all the corresponding special tests (i.e. anterior drawer, lachmans, etc)1. The arthroscopic incisions as well as the hamstring incision from where the graft was taken from are stitch closed and the patient is bandaged and braced to be sent to recovery.
