Procedure

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 

Orthobiologics

The BioACL technique harnesses the power of next-generation biologics to provide the ultimate anatomic, minimally invasive, reproducible approach for taking patient outcomes to the next level.
By prefilling ACL bone tunnels with a powerful composite of concentrated platelet-rich plasma (cPRP) from bone marrow aspirate (BMA) or whole blood processed with the Angel® system, the patient’s own bone collected with the GraftNet™ device, and AlloSync® Pure demineralized bone matrix, the BioACL technique provides all the necessary healing components for an ACL reconstruction procedure.
In conjunction with the QuadLink™ with InternalBrace™ technique, the BioACL technique has been shown to result in earlier range of motion, improved limb symmetry, less bone-tunnel widening, and improved patient-reported outcomes as compared to nonaugmented ACL procedures.1&nbsp;

The&nbsp;InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The&nbsp;InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

BioACL™ Technique

Many products are available to assist the surgeon with bone-tendon-bone (BTB) graft harvesting and preparation. 

 
 
The parallel graft knife—with parallel blades to create a precise cut in a single pass—is designed for harvesting the patellar or quadriceps tendon during an ACL or a PCL reconstruction. 
 

 
Graft harvesting cutting guides and saw blades can harvest an ideal trapezoidal-shaped bone plug with predrilled suture holes from both the patella and the tibia; the cutting guides provide consistent, reproducible 
results during tendon harvest. 
 

 
Additional instrumentation for BTB graft preparation, including a graft harvesting osteotome and ACL graft shaper, are also available.&nbsp;

BTB Graft Harvest and Preparation Instruments

The FiberTag TightRope implant facilitates attachment of single-ended grafts, such as quad tendon grafts, to the ACL TightRope RT and ABS implants. FiberTag suture is integrated into the TightRope implant for a strong,1 consistent connection between the suture and TightRope loop. A simplified suturing technique, along with innovative packaging and the new GraftClamp graft preparation instrument, make preparing quadriceps tendon grafts faster and more reproducible than ever.

FiberTag® TightRope® Implant

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

Arthrex offers the most advanced techniques and instruments for hamstring harvesting and preparation. Harvesting can be accomplished safely and reproducibly both from the traditional anterior approach or through a posterior approach using the minimally invasive hamstring harvest technique and specialized tendon strippers. 
 

The Arthrex Graft Prep Station offers a variety of interchangeable clamps and posts to facilitate graft tensioning and suturing. 
 

Graft preparation has been revolutionized with the FiberLoop® line of suture and SpeedWhip™ technique. The continuous loops of #2 or #0 suture and free-floating straight or curved needles allow reproducible graft suturing in half the time of traditional straight sutures.

Hamstring Graft Harvest and Preparation Instruments

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.
