Meniscal Fixation

Meniscal Fixation

Meniscal tears are one of the most common injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. The meniscus plays an important role in knee stability and the distribution of forces within the knee joint and therefore should be repaired whenever possible. Due to its poor blood supply and challenging tear patterns, repairing a torn meniscus can present quite a challenge. Arthrex provides a multitude of options—including all-inside, outside-in, and inside-out repair—to surgeons treating the various types of meniscal tears.

FiberStitch™ 1.5 Implant

FiberStitch™ 1.5 Implant

A product of relentless innovation, the FiberStitch 1.5 implant features a new, low-profile delivery needle, resulting in less tissue morbidity and smaller implants and providing stronger fixation compared to previous FiberStitch implants.¹ The proven superiority of FiberStitch all-suture anchors for all-inside meniscal repair is evident when compared to traditional PEEK implant systems.² Made with 2-0 coreless FiberWire® suture, soft anchors provide secure arthroscopic all-inside knotless meniscal repair.

ZoneNavigator™ System

ZoneNavigator™ System

The ZoneNavigator System revolutionizes inside-out meniscal repair with single-handed control of needle placement. 2-0 SutureTape with meniscal repair needles are advanced and retracted in 1 cm increments using the ergonomic handle. Cannulas attach to the handle to efficiently target specific zones of the meniscus.
Use the needle catcher to guide needles away from neurovascular structures. The concave, curved retractor efficiently retracts tissue and directs the needles for easy retrieval.

Knee Scorpion™ Suture Passer

Knee Scorpion™ Suture Passer

Pass 0 and 2-0 FiberWire^® sutures in tight recesses of the knee with the Knee Scorpion suture passer and retriever. With the lowest profile jaw available (3.2 mm), this one-handed, ergonomically designed suture passer eliminates extra steps for suture shuttling and retrieval with reliable FastPass technology. Pass and capture suture in one simple pass and apply multiple suture configurations with the Knee Scorpion suture passer.

Meniscal Cinch™ II Implant

Meniscal Cinch™ II Implant

The Meniscal Cinch II implant offers a linear deployment mechanism to provide ergonomic handling and simplicity. The low-profile cannula allows flexibility in tight locations in the knee and the crimped cannula supports active implant deployment. The 1 mm × 5 mm PEEK implants are secured by 2-0 coreless FiberWire^® suture with a pre-tied, modified Weston sliding knot that tensions easily and facilitates secure, low-profile vertical or horizontal suture repairs.

Meniscal Repair and Resection Instrument Set

Meniscal Repair and Resection Instrument Set

The Meniscus Repair and Resection Instrument Set contains Arthrex’s most popular instruments to address various meniscus procedures including meniscal root repair, all-suture meniscus repair, or meniscus contouring. For protection, the instruments are held securely within the slotted silicone pads. A removable shelf uncovers an open area for placement of additional instrumentation.

Meniscus Ramp Lesion

Meniscus Ramp Lesion

Ramp lesions, which are commonly associated with ACL injuries and are often misdiagnosed,¹ disrupt the meniscotibial ligament and the posteromedial meniscus in the meniscocapsular zone. Disruption of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus could lead to excessive forces within the knee joint and surrounding structures.
The QuickPass™ SutureLasso™ suture passer is preloaded with a #2-0 FiberStick™ suture and is available with a left or right 25° curve and 1.5 mm tip.

SutureLoc™ Implant

SutureLoc™ Implant

A knotless all-suture anchor, the SutureLoc implant is specifically designed for joint-line fixation of the meniscal root. This revolutionary anchor eliminates the need for a posterior medial portal, which is commonly used in direct tibial fixation techniques, making the repair more reproducible. The 2.4 mm cannulated drill pin leaves more bone intact while delivering the SutureLasso™ wire directly to the footprint of the meniscal root. Once the anchor has been passed, the 2 repair sutures can be passed through the tissue in a variety of stitch patterns. The knotless implant is retensionable, allowing surgeons to dial in their repair.
Features and Benefits
• Double-loaded knotless mechanism allows for 2 repair stitches with only 1 anchor pass, reducing steps from previous techniques
• Soft, all-suture implant
• Minimal bone removal with a smaller, 2.4 mm drill pin and no need to decorticate
• Simple, reproducible suture passing
• Suture tension can be controlled and adjusted under direct visualization
• Repair sutures are converted in line, eliminating the potential for the suture to cut into bone
• 236.8 N of pull-out strength and 0.34 mm of cyclic displacement¹
