Tibial Spine Avulsion Repair

Relatively uncommon knee injuries, tibial spine avulsion fractures typically occur in children and adolescents.¹ Despite the low incidence of tibial spine avulsion fractures, they deserve ample attention to ensure knee function and stability are correctly restored.

Innovative FiberRing™ sutures provide a simple and reproducible technique for securing the distal remnant to achieve anatomic reduction. The ACL Repair TightRope® implant offers titratable knotless fixation to ensure ACL length is appropriately restored and maintained.

Finally, the ACL InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation button accommodates the InternalBrace technique to help prevent excess range of motion during the healing phase and potentially reduce the chances of secondary injury.^2,3
