MIS Midvastus Approach
Make a medial parapatellar incision
into the capsule, preserving
approximately 1cm of peritenon and
capsule medial to the patellar tendon.
This is important to facilitate complete
capsular closure.
Split the superficial enveloping
fascia of the quadriceps muscle
percutaneously in a proximal direction
over a length of approximately 6cm.
This will mobilize the quadriceps
and allow for significantly greater
lateral translation of the muscle while
minimizing tension on the patellar
tendon insertion.
Split the vastus medialis obliquis
approximately 1.5cm-2cm (Fig. 2).
Use blunt dissection to undermine the
skin incision approximately 1cm-2cm
around the patella.
Slightly flex the knee and remove the
deep third of the fat pad.
The patella can be either everted
or subluxed. If everting the patella,
release the lateral patellofemoral
ligament to facilitate full eversion
and lateral translation of the patella.
Then use hand-held three-pronged or
two-pronged hooks to begin to gently
evert the patella. Be careful to avoid
disrupting the extensor insertion.
To help evert the patella, slowly flex
the joint and externally rotate the
tibia while applying gentle pressure.
Once the patella is everted, use a
standard-size Hohmann retractor or
two small Hohmann retractors along
the lateral flare of the tibial metaphysis
to maintain the eversion of the patella
and the extensor mechanism.
NOTE:
It is imperative to maintain
close observation of the patellar
tendon throughout the procedure to
ensure that tension on the tendon is
minimized, especially during eversion
of the patella and positioning of the
patient.
Remove any large patellar osteophytes.
Release the anterior cruciate ligament,
if present. Perform a subperiosteal
dissection along the proximal medial
and lateral tibia to the level of the
tibial tendon insertion. Then perform
a limited release of the lateral capsule
(less than 5mm) to help minimize
tension on the extensor mechanism.
