We describe a simple technique of combined anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a pedicled hamstring graft of case-specific diameter and lateral extra-articular tenodesis with limited hardware. “PARLET” stands for pedicled anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral extra-articular tenodesis without additional implants. Three options of graft preparation (3, 4, or 6 strands) enable diameter versatility and optimization during surgery. Preserving the hamstring pedicle and limiting its interference with tibial fixation due to the use of an ACL adjustable cortical button might improve graft healing potential. Fixation of lateral tenodesis with a femoral ACL cortical button solves the problem of tunnel or implant interference.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47827,"journal":{"name":"Arthroscopy Techniques","volume":"14 12","pages":"Article 103989"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145814458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technical note describes a reproducible technique for thumb ulnar collateral ligament repair using suture tape augmentation. The procedure involves primary repair with a 1.3-mm Suturetape (Arthrex, Naples, FL) followed by internal bracing using FiberTape (Arthrex) secured with dual 3.5-mm SwiveLock anchors (Arthrex) spanning the joint. The metacarpophalangeal joint is positioned at 30° of flexion during repair to achieve optimal tension. Suture tape augmentation provides significantly higher maximum load and load at clinical failure than repair alone, with improved resistance to gap formation under cyclic loading. This enhanced construct allows for accelerated rehabilitation protocols with potentially faster return to sport and work activities in 5 to 6 weeks.

We present a technique of arthroscopically assisted ACJ stabilization using an autologous, rerouted long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon transfer, augmented with a suture button pulley construct for the treatment of symptomatic bidirectional ACJ instability. The LHB tendon is tenodesed to the humerus near the musculotendinous junction and tenotomized just proximal to the fixation point. The proximal attachment of the LHB tendon is preserved. The distal free end of the LHB tendon is rerouted transarticularly and passed anterior to the glenoid, proximally through the lateral end of the clavicle. Intraosseous fixation is achieved using an interference screw. The distal LHB tendon portion spans the superior aspect of the ACJ, providing horizontal stabilization.
