FiberStick suture is #2 FiberWire suture&nbsp;with the first 12 inches stiffened to allow convenient and easy advancement through most cannulated instruments, eliminating the need for a monofilament suture or wire suture shuttle. FiberStick sutures come with a thin plastic tube that protects the stiffened suture until use. TigerStick sutures are similar to FiberStick sutures, but they are white with a black stripe to make suture identification easier.

Procedure

Once the minimally invasive or open incision is made and proper soft-tissue windows are established, use the fibular, tibial, and/or femoral collateral marking hooks for anatomic precision and osseous measurements when drilling the appropriate reconstruction tunnels. Using the femoral collateral marking hook with the parallel drill guide will increase anatomic femoral drilling efficiency by significantly reducing convergent tunnels and allowing for accurate guide pin placement at multiple incremental distances. During tunnel creation, use the spooned ends of the collateral ligament retractor to retract the neurovascular structures and the collateral ligament rasp to chamfer the aperture of the completed reconstruction tunnels. Then use FiberWire® or FiberStick™ suture to pass the prepared grafts and tension to the desired position prior to graft fixation.

Anatomic Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Set

Multiple collateral ligament reconstruction techniques are available and range from aperture fixation using the BioComposite SwiveLock® tenodesis system with biocomposite interference screws to suspensory fixation using TightRope® technology. 
 
For primary or hybrid collateral ligament repair techniques, choose from a comprehensive line of anchor fixation devices, including FiberTak® soft anchors or biocomposite suture anchors, which come preloaded with needles.

For meniscal allograft transplant, the double bone plug technique involves medially implanting the meniscal allograft with rigid fixation at both horn attachments. The technique can also correct meniscal deficiency using bone plugs and minimally invasive suspensory fixation and allows the meniscal allograft to maintain functional hoop stress.

The Double Bone Plug technique for meniscal tear/deficiency utilizes bone plugs that can either be prepared freehand or by using a coring reamer. The freehand technique is performed using rongeurs and a high speed burr. For detailed information about this technique and/or Arthrex products utilized in this technique, visit the educational resources tab or products tab below. The double bone plug technique for meniscal allograft reconstruction provides a method for implanting the meniscal allograft medially with rigid fixation at both horn attachments. It has been demonstrated that bony fixation and bony healing at the attachment site allows for the maintenance of functional hoop stress by the meniscal allograft.

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.

The PushLock anchor is designed for simple and secure arthroscopic glenohumeral joint instability repair. The knotless technique saves valuable time and eliminates the possibility of knot impingement. This suture-first technique allows surgeons to independently pass suture through a desired amount of tissue prior to anchor implantation. Multiple suture configurations, including simple cinch and mattress stitches, can be accomplished with FiberWire®, FiberLink® SutureTape, FiberStick™, SutureTape, or LabralTape™ sutures using the Labral Scorpion™ or QuickPass™ SutureLasso™ suture passers. Tissue tension can be visualized and adjusted, if necessary, prior to final anchor implantation.
Please note that certain bio (PLLA) anchors and screws are not available for sale in EMEA.

PushLock® Anchor Instability Technique

The screw-in, knotless Labral SwiveLock anchor is specially designed for treating shoulder instability and is used similar to a Labral PushLock® anchor. Offering the same knotless advantages as the Labral PushLock anchor (eg, low profile, quick, suture-first technique with multiple stitch configuration options), this anchor provides the added benefits of higher pullout strength and vents that may allow bony ingrowth. The anchor is available in biocomposite or PEEK material.

The Micro SutureLasso™&nbsp;replaces 18-gauge needles for arthroscopic suture passing. Sterile, disposable, stainless steel needles are 20-gauge at the tip and taper to 16-gauge at the handle to provide the added stiffness needed for percutaneous placement for arthroscopic suture passing in upper and lower extremities. The ergonomic plastic handle facilitates accurate placement and control. Advancement of a pre-loaded fine nitinol wire loop shuttles any suture through tissue. A selection of straight and curved shafts provides accessibility to dif­ficult to reach structures. &nbsp;
Micro SutureLassos also ac­commodate 2-0 and #2 FiberSticks for single step passing of FiberWire suture and are especially suited for outside/in meniscal repair, rotator cuff repair and TFCC repair of the wrist.

The streamlined PCL ToolBox contains all the necessary instruments for performing a variety of modern PCL reconstruction techniques. The set includes the RetroConstruction™ Drill Guide System with drill sleeves for use with the FlipCutter® reamer, RetroDrill® reamer, and standard 2.4 mm guide pins.
 
 
Femoral and tibial RetroConstruction marking hooks allow safe, reproducible placement of pins and drills into the anatomic footprints. Also included in the set are double-bundle femoral drill guides, curved instruments for tibial preparation, a knee obturator for safe and easy posterior portal placement, tunnel plugs, drills, screwdrivers, notchers, and other accessories. This toolbox facilitates standard transtibial PCL reconstruction as well as modern techniques such as the arthroscopic inlay and GraftLink® all-inside PCL technique.

PCL ToolBox

Designed for arthroscopic instability or rotator cuff repair, the knotless PushLock suture anchor uniquely allows surgeons to adjust tension on the tissue intraoperatively, ensuring precise tissue reduction and fixation.
PushLock anchors are available in 2.4 mm, 2.9 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.5 mm sizes. The 2.4 mm and 2.9 mm PushLock anchors are optimized for labral repair. Use the 4.5 mm PushLock anchor for rotator cuff repair using the SutureBridge™ technique and the 3.5 mm PushLock anchor during rotator cuff or instability procedures.
The anchor bodies – available in bioabsorbable biocomposite or PLLA and nonabsorbable PEEK materials – are strong, revisable, and radioluscent implants with no MRI artifact. Each anchor has a PEEK eyelet for superior strength during insertion to allow firm tissue tensioning and shifting.1

Suture passing is made easy with the wide variety of instruments from Arthrex, including SwiftStitch™, SutureLasso™, BirdBeak®, Penetrator™, Hip Labral Scorpion™ and CapsuleClose Scorpion™ suture passers.

Suture Passing

The SwiveLock® is a knotless suture anchor designed for arthroscopic glenohumeral joint instability repair. It is sized and used similarly as the 2.9 mm PushLock®, except that the threaded and vented anchor body "twists-in" instead of "taps-in". The anchor provides the ability to independently pass the suture through a desired amount of tissue prior to anchor implantation. This feature allows the surgeon to properly capture the amount of capsule or labrum required for the pathology being treated. The surgeon can visualize and adjust tissue tension prior to final implant installation. The anchor is twisted into its final position and the sutures are cut flush. 

The body of the anchor is available in a BioComposite material that combines PLLA with ß-TCP, or a nonabsorbable thermoplastic material, polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Both are strong, revisable and radiolucent implants. Both versions use a PEEK eyelet for superior strength during insertion to allow firm tissue tensioning and shifting.
