Knee

Professor Gordon MacKay (Glasgow, Scotland), presents the InternalBrace™ technique for the MCL.
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.

MCL Repair Using the InternalBrace™ Techinque

James P. Bradley, MD (Pittsburgh, PA), demonstrates the InternalBrace™ technique for a percutaneous MCL.

InternalBrace™ Technique for Percutaneous MCL

This animation demonstrates a patella fracture repair using the Patella Fracture System. During the procedure, FiberTape® suture on a 5-inch needle is passed through the cannulated, blunt-tipped 4.0 mm lag screws to create an anterior tension band. The screws compress the fracture, while their blunt tips ensure the suture will not be cut if the screws are left slightly long.

A general overview including the relevant steps of an Arthrex surgical technique. These animations always include a voice-over explaining the process.

Patella Fracture Set

Michael Bradley, MD, (Wakefield, RI) performs a quadriceps tendon repair with the PARS jig. He uses 2 locking, crossing FiberTape® sutures to repair the quadriceps tendon and anchors it to the patella using 4.75 mm SwiveLock® anchors.

Patella Fracture Repair

Todd M. Oliver, MD, (Columbia, MO) presents the Patella Fracture System. The set is designed to fix transverse patella fractures. It includes 4.0 mm blunt‐tipped cannulated screws that, when used in conjunction with FiberTape® suture as an anterior tension band, creates a construct stronger than the traditional cerclage wire tension band technique.1 Innovative instruments are included along with clamps, wire drivers, pliers, drills, and more, giving surgeons all the instruments needed in one convenient set.

The Arthrex Patella Fracture System

George F. Rick Hatch III, MD, (Los Angeles, CA) presents InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation repair for multiligament reconstruction. His case presentation covers a wide variety of highly complex reconstructions using TightRope® fixation systems, FiberTape® constructs, PushLock® anchors and button fixation.

InternalBrace™ for Multiligament Reconstruction

Professor Adrian Wilson, MBBS, BSc, FRCS, (Windsor, United Kingdom) presents cases using ligament reinforcement of grafts with FiberTape® suture and other repair options for ACL and PCL procedures.

ACL Repair with Augmentation

Todd M. Oliver, MD, (Columbia, MO) demonstrates patella fracture fixation using 4.0 mm blunt tipped cannulated screws along with a FiberTape® tension band. The cannulated screws compress the fracture and the blunt tips prevent lacerations to the FiberTape.

Patella Fracture Fixation Using Cannulated Screws with FiberTape® Tension Band Reinforcement

This in-vitro biomechanical study compares 105 Corkscrew® vs 100 SwiveLock® anchors (79 with FiberTape®). FiberTape knotless technology with the Arthrex SwiveLock led to statistically significantly highest ultimate load, stiffness and load at 3 mm displacement.

A scientific report from the Arthrex Orthopedic Research Department stating an objective, methods and materials, results, and discussion and conclusion.

Knotted with FiberWire® #2 versus Knotless with FiberWire® #2 and Knotless with FiberTape® - A Biomechanical Study

Patella fractures represent approximately 1% of all fractures. They present with a variety of fracture patterns, which can make osteosynthesis challenging. The amount of comminution, degree of osteoporosis, and the natural forces across the patella create obstacles to reduction and adequate stabilization. The Patella Fracture System was designed to facilitate fixation of these frequently challenging injuries.

Patella Fracture System

James Paci, MD, (Stony Brook, NY) demonstrates a new technique for quadriceps tendon repair using SwiveLock® anchors and FiberTape®. Using FiberTape in a locking Krakow stitch pattern and securing it to the patella with two SwiveLock anchors creates an exceptionally strong construct.
