Arthrex offers a comprehensive selection of fixation devices for a variety of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) graft techniques. These options include adjustable, continuous-loop suspensory fixation, and interference screws in a variety of materials. The TightRope® implant, which has been used in 2 million procedures globally,1 was designed to simplify ACL reconstruction and facilitate advanced techniques, such as the GraftLink® technique. BioComposite FastThread™ interference screws, which are composed of time-tested material with more than a decade of clinical success and implantation, allow for faster screw insertion and better graft protection.2

BTB Autograft ACL Reconstruction 

Child (D)

Shoulder

Subpectoral biceps tenodesis using cortical buttons and the tension-slide technique allows for reliable tensioning and a bicortical or unicortical repair of the long head of the biceps.
Featuring a locking jaw, the TensionTight™ button is used for performing knotless onlay biceps tenodesis with an arthroscopic suprapectoral or open subpectoral approach. Securing the biceps tendon with a Loop 'N' Tack™ stitch enables an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral tenodesis.
With the bicortical technique, use the BicepsButton™ implant to draw the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket. A tenodesis screw can be added to further support the repair. 
 
The unicortical technique requires the 8.5 mm long proximal tenodesis button, which has angled edges to promote a toggle effect when the button contacts the far cortex. The tension-slide technique reliably draws the tendon onto the humerus.

Product

Achieve a simple, reproducible repair of the distal biceps with the BicepsButton implant systems and associated tension-slide technique. Using a titanium BicepsButton implant, this technique reliably seats the tendon against the far cortex of the bone socket to maximize the surface area for tendon-to-bone healing. A tenodesis screw adds to the construct strength and helps place the tendon at the more anatomic crescent-shaped insertion. FiberLoop® suture, which is included, also reduces time spent whipstitching the tendon while the button inserter allows for a simplified, less traumatic single-incision repair.

Arthrex offers the most advanced techniques and instruments for hamstring harvesting and preparation for ACL reconstruction. A reproducible harvest can be performed through a traditional anterior or posterior approach using the minimally invasive hamstring harvest technique and specialized tendon strippers.
The GraftLink®&nbsp;technique provides an anatomic, minimally invasive, and reproducible ACL reconstruction procedure. When used in combination with anatomic guides, the FlipCutter® III drill allows independent femoral and tibial "retrodrilling" to create sockets while maintaining the cortices to maximize fixation. Femoral and tibial TightRope® II implants, with a proprietary 5-point locking system, make the GraftLink technique the most reproducible ACL reconstruction available.
Anatomic: Independent tibial and femoral socket preparation with FlipCutter III reamer and/or low-profile reamers facilitate unconstrained placement of the ACL graft.
Minimally Invasive: Socket preparation with the FlipCutter III reamer limits soft-tissue dissection and helps preserve bone and periosteum.
Reproducible: The GraftPro® graft prep system simplifies graft preparation; the tapered graft and adjustable ACL TightRope II buttons facilitate graft passing, fine tuning of graft depth, and graft tensioning from the femoral and tibial sides.

Hamstring Autograft ACL Reconstruction

Low-profile reamers facilitate femoral socket preparation through the medial portal and also allow greater flexibility in femoral socket placement for transtibial procedures. The reamer's extra thin shaft and “2-flute” design provide a flat profile that easily passes through the portal and avoids damaging the femoral condyle and PCL. The reduced length of the flutes allows the drill to spin without contacting PCL fibers. Low-profile reamers may be used with the Arthrex Transportal ACL Guides for anatomic guide pin placement through the medial portal.

Low Profile Reamers

MCL reconstruction is typically performed when the MCL is severely injured or in cases of chronic MCL laxity. During an MCL reconstruction, autograft or allograft tissue is used to reconstruct the injured ligament. Graft-fixation technology for MCL reconstruction has evolved from staples, posts and washers, and interference screws to less invasive and easier-to-use suspensory fixation, including the TightRope® implant, and 
all-suture anchor technology, such as the Knee FiberTak® anchor.&nbsp;
Adding the InternalBrace™ technique to an MCL repair may result in lower failure rates and less residual laxity post-op as well as shorter immobilization times and faster return to play.1 Additionally, FiberTape® suture has been used for more than 15 years in more than 4 million cases, including tendon and ligament-bridging repairs.
The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to support the primary repair and is not intended as a replacement for the standard of care using biologic augmentation in a primary repair.&nbsp;The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only for soft-tissue-to-bone fixation and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Reconstruction

PCL injuries occur during sports-related activities or high-velocity, traumatic accidents. Indications for operative treatment of PCL tears include acute injuries, active young patients, and either isolated grade 3 tears or combined injuries, such as a grade 2 injury with posterolateral corner instability. 

Arthrex developed several techniques for isolated PCL injuries—including PCL inlay reconstruction, double-bundle PCL reconstruction, and the transtibial PCL RetroConstruction™ procedure—that can be combined with multiligament or posterolateral corner reconstruction.
Additionally, a comprehensive line of PCL reconstruction instrumentation is available for a variety of PCL reconstruction techniques, as well as autografts and allografts and single- or double-bundle options.

Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction

Quadriceps tendon grafts offer unique benefits for cruciate ligament reconstruction, such as a predictably large diameter, low morbidity,1 and a preferable stiffness profile for knee ligament reconstruction.
The QuadPro™ tendon harvester is designed to harvest a quadriceps or patellar tendon graft using a minimally invasive technique.2-4 The sharp tip cores out an approximate cylindrical graft. The harvester's ergonomically designed handle features graduations on the clear shaft to allow visualization of approximate graft length during harvesting. Available in four sizes (8 mm to 11 mm), the QuadPro tendon harvester can accommodate each patient’s unique needs as well as the surgeon’s preference for graft diameter.
The FiberTag® TightRope® implant facilitates attachment of single-ended grafts, such as quadriceps tendon grafts, to the ACL TightRope RT and ABS implants. FiberTag suture is integrated into the TightRope implant for a strong, consistent connection between the suture and TightRope loop. A simplified suturing technique, along with innovative packaging and the GraftClamp graft preparation instrument, make preparing quadriceps tendon grafts faster and more reproducible than ever.

Quad Tendon Autograft ACL Reconstruction

As part of the distal biceps repair procedure, the tension-slide technique with the BicepsButton™ implant provides a simple, reproducible, and biomechanically stable repair. This tensioning technique reliably draws the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket. Adding a tenodesis screw improves the biomechanical strength and allows the tendon to be placed in a more anatomic position.
The all-suture FiberTak® button can be used in lieu of traditional metal buttons for both bicortical and unicortical tension-slide tenodesis techniques.
