Procedure

Lateral ankle ligament reconstruction can be performed using a free tendon graft and a rigid interference screw with the BioComposite Tenodesis implants. This technique allows for anatomic reconstruction of the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments with simple tensioning and rigid fixation of the graft.

Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction

Child (D)

FHL tendon transfer is used for reinforcement of an Achilles repair. Arthrex has developed the Tenodesis Tension-Slide Technique for FHL tendon transfer. The flexor hallucis longus tendon is traced to the calcaneus and harvested. The Tenodesis Graft Sizing Kit is used to determine the tendon diameter and which size implant system to open. The FHL tendon is then transferred to the posterior calcaneus and stabilized with the DX button on the plantar cortex, as well as a Tenodesis screw for aperture fixation.

Tenodesis Screws™&nbsp;may be used in conjunction with #2 or 2-0 FiberWire®&nbsp;to facilitate intraoperative tissue tensioning and fixation in a predrilled socket. The predrilled socket minimizes incision length, dissection, and overall morbidity. BioComposite, PLLA, vented PEEK or titanium Tenodesis Screw insertion provides superior and immediate fixation for foot and ankle indications such as Achilles repair, FDL, FHL tendon transfers and lateral ligament stabilization. The system can also be used for applications in the hand and elbow (UCL, LRTI, distal biceps), shoulder (rotator cuff repair, proximal biceps), as well as collateral ligament repair, reconstruction and secondary graft or suture fixation for ACL, PCL reconstruction. This construct allows for direct tendon-to-bone healing, without hardware prominence. &nbsp;
The Tenodesis Screws are part of the Bio-Tenodesis Screw System which eliminates transosseous tunnels in tendon repairs and ligament reconstructions by simplifying tissue fixation in a bone socket while maintaining tension of the tissue throughout fixation.&nbsp; A specially designed, retracting screwdriver with extended tip tensions the graft near the base of the socket while a unique outer sleeve delivers the Tenodesis Screw as the extended driver retracts. This technique is ideally applicable for biceps tendon and collateral ligament repairs. The graft passing sutures through the screw cannulation can be used to provide backup fixation by incorporating anti-slippage mulberry knots at the distal end of the screw. The suture ends can be tied over the screw at the completion of the procedure as additional backup fixation, if desired.

The Tenodesis Screws are part of the Bio-Tenodesis Screw System which eliminates transosseous tunnels in tendon repairs and ligament reconstructions by simplifying tissue fixation in a bone socket while maintaining tension of the tissue throughout fixation. A specially designed, retracting screw driver with extended tip tensions the graft near the base of the socket while a unique outer sleeve delivers the Tenodesis Screw as the extended driver retracts. This technique is ideally applicable for biceps tendon and collateral ligament repairs. The graft passing sutures through the screw cannulation can be used to provide backup fixation by incorporating anti-slippage mulberry knots at the distal end of the screw. The suture ends can be tied over the screw at the completion of the procedure as additional backup fixation, if desired.

The Bio-Tenodesis Screw System was designed specifically for the reattachment of soft tissue, both ligament and tendon, to bone. The Bio-Tenodesis Driver facilitates accurate graft tensioning into a bony socket in a simple “push-in” method. The interference fit provided by the Tenodesis Screw and FiberWire virtually eliminates graft separation from the bone. Because of the strength of the repair achieved with the system, patients are generally allowed to begin postoperative rehab earlier than previously permitted. The Bio-Tenodesis Screws are composed of PLLA and are available in numerous sizes to fit all applications. There are also titanium and PEEK Tenodesis Screws available for use with the system, if desired. The system is ideal for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone in proximal/distal biceps tenodesis.
Please note that certain bio (PLLA) anchors and screws are not available for sale in EMEA.
