Anatomic Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

Once the minimally invasive or open incision is made and proper soft tissue windows are established, the Fibular, Tibial, and/or Femoral Collateral Marking Hooks are used for anatomic precision and osseous measurements when drilling the appropriate reconstruction tunnels. Using the Femoral Collateral Marking Hook in conjunction with the Parallel Drill Guide will increase the efficiency of anatomic femoral drilling by significantly reducing convergent tunnels and allowing for accurate guide pin placement at multiple incremental distances. During tunnel creation the spooned ends of the Collateral Ligament Retractor are used to protect the neurovascular structures and the Collateral ligament rasp is used to chamfer the aperture of the completed reconstruction tunnels. The prepared grafts are then passed with the use of FiberWire or FiberSticks and tensioned into the desire position prior to graft fixation.

^{The 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 InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.}
