Journal Article
Does pes anserinus tenotomy affect surgical site infection rate in operative tibial plateau fractures?
2024
Overview
Purpose
To assess if pes anserinus tenotomy (PAT) during definitive open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of tibial plateau fractures is associated with a decreased risk of surgical site infection (SSI) and other postoperative complications.
Methods
A retrospective review of all adults who underwent ORIF for tibial plateau fractures from April 2005 to February 2022 at single level 1 trauma center was performed. Patients who had a medial approach to the plateau with minimum three-month follow-up were required for inclusion. All patients with fasciotomy for compartment syndrome or with traumatically avulsed or damaged pes anserinus prior to ORIF were excluded. Two groups were created: those who received a pes anserinus tenotomy with repair (PAT group) and those whose pes anserinus were spared and left intact (control group). Patient demographics, injury and operative characteristics, and surgical outcomes were compared. The primary outcomes were rates of deep and superficial SSI.
Results
The PAT group had significantly lower rates of deep SSI (9.2% vs. 19.7%,
P
= 0.009), superficial SSI (14.2% vs. 26.5%),
P
= 0.007), and any SSI (15.8% vs. 28.9%,
P
= 0.005). Multiple logistic regression showed that heart failure (aOR = 7.215, 95% CI 2.291–22.719,
P
< 0.001), and presence of open fracture (aOR = 4.046, 95% CI 2.074–7.895,
P
< 0.001) were independently associated with increased odds of deep SSI, while PAT was associated with a decreased odds of deep SSI (aOR = 0.481, 95% CI 0.231–0.992,
P
= 0.048). PAT had significantly lower rates of unplanned return to the operating room (20.8% vs. 33.7%,
P
= 0.010) and implant removal (10.0% vs. 18.0%,
P
= 0.042).
Conclusion
While these data do not allow for discussion of functional recovery or strength, pes anserinus tenotomy was independently associated with significantly lower rates of infection, unplanned operation, and implant removal.
