Procedure

Arthrex offers a comprehensive selection of fixation devices for a variety of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) graft techniques. These options include adjustable, continuous-loop suspensory fixation, and interference screws in a variety of materials. The TightRope® implant, which has been used in 2 million procedures globally,1 was designed to simplify ACL reconstruction and facilitate advanced techniques, such as the GraftLink® technique. BioComposite FastThread™ interference screws, which are composed of time-tested material with more than a decade of clinical success and implantation, allow for faster screw insertion and better graft protection.2

ACL BTB Graft Fixation

Child (D)

Replicate the anatomical footprint advantage of outside-in guide pin placement without transosseous tunnels. The ACL RetroConstruction system and FlipCutter III drill enable anatomic drill placement of ACL and PCL sockets or tunnels.
Create minimally invasive inside-out sockets with the FlipCutter III drill, an innovative variable-size, all-in-one guide pin and reamer. The FlipCutter III drill provides a whole new level of freedom in socket positioning and is ideal for hard-to-reach areas such as tibial socket creation for PCLR, anatomic femoral socket creation for ACLR, socket creation for meniscal allograft, meniscal root avulsion repair, and retrograde OATS® procedures of the patella.

ACL RetroConstruction™ System / FlipCutter® III Drill

Arthrex offers a comprehensive selection of soft-tissue fixation devices for a variety of techniques. Innovative designs and cutting-edge materials allow surgeons to achieve strong, less invasive anatomic ACL reconstructions with soft-tissue grafts.

ACL Soft-Tissue Graft Fixation

Product

As the first adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation implant to use a flat SutureTape design, the ACL TightRope II implant offers better handling characteristics and is more resistant to graft abrasion or tissue pull-through than traditional round sutures.1&nbsp;
Engineered for precise graft tensioning, the adjustable-loop mechanism allows for incremental retensioning of the graft construct after the implants have been secured on the cortex. The redesigned cortical button now incorporates a proprietary knotless fifth locking mechanism, increasing strength and resistance to cyclic displacement.2 To accommodate various graft types and techniques, TightRope II implants are available in RT and BTB configurations loaded with an additional flipping suture or preloaded with a FiberTape® suture for the InternalBrace™ technique. Available options for the ABS implant include standard or open.

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.

ACL TightRope® II Implant

The GraftLink® technique provides the ultimate in anatomic, minimally invasive, and reproducible ACL reconstruction. Used in combination with anatomic guides, the FlipCutter III drill allows independent femoral and tibial "retrodrilling" to create sockets while maintaining the cortices to potentially maximize fixation. ACL TightRope® II implants feature an exclusive flat SutureTape design and a new proprietary fifth locking point used for fixation, making the GraftLink technique the most reproducible ACL reconstruction system available.
 
• Anatomic: Independent tibial and femoral socket preparation with the FlipCutter III reamer and/or low-profile reamers facilitate unconstrained placement of the ACL graft.
• Minimally Invasive: The FlipCutter III reamer is designed to limit soft-tissue dissection and help preserve bone and periosteum during socket preparation.
• Reproducible: The GraftLink technique workstation simplifies graft preparation. The tapered graft and adjustable ACL TightRope buttons facilitate graft passing, fine tuning of graft depth, and graft tensioning from the femoral and tibial sides.

All-Inside ACL Reconstruction / FlipCutter® III Reamer

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.

Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Set

The new, innovative FlipCutter III drill is an adjustable, variable-size, all-in-one guide pin and reamer that allows minimally invasive socket creation from the inside out. Proprietary technology gives the FlipCutter drill unconstrained freedom of socket positioning and is ideal for difficult-to-reach applications such as tibial socket creation for PCL reconstruction, anatomic femoral socket creation for ACL reconstruction, and socket creation for meniscal allograft transplantation or meniscal root repair. With an adjustable design, the FlipCutter III drill can accommodate sizes 6 mm to 12 mm, including half sizes.

FlipCutter® III Drill

The GraftLink technique provides the ultimate in anatomic, minimally invasive, and reproducible ACL reconstruction. Used in combination with anatomic guides, the FlipCutter® III drill allows independent femoral and tibial "retrodrilling" to create sockets while maintaining the cortices to maximize fixation. Femoral and tibial TightRope® II implants, with a proprietary 5-point locking system, make the GraftLink technique the most reproducible ACL reconstruction available.
<ul>
 <li>Anatomic:&nbsp;Independent tibial and femoral socket preparation with FlipCutter III reamer and/or low-profile reamers facilitate unconstrained placement of the ACL graft.</li>
 <li>Minimally Invasive:&nbsp;Socket preparation with the FlipCutter III reamer limits soft-tissue dissection and helps preserve bone and periosteum.&nbsp;</li>
 <li>Reproducible:&nbsp;The GraftPro® graft prep system simplifies graft preparation; the tapered graft and adjustable ACL TightRope II buttons facilitate graft passing, fine tuning of graft depth, and graft tensioning from the femoral and tibial sides.</li>

GraftLink® Technique

For use with bone-tendon ACL grafts, the TightRope II BTB implant combines the simplicity and strength of the ACL TightRope RT implant. The BTB TightRope implant features the same adjustable, four-point locking system as the ACL TightRope RT but allows graft placement through a small drill hole in the cortical bone block.&nbsp;&nbsp;
BTB TightRope II implant advantages:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
 <li>Simplified BTB graft fixation with anatomically placed sockets created with the FlipCutter® drill</li>
 <li>Dependable cortical fixation regardless of bone tunnel quality</li>
 <li>Graft adjustability within the femoral socket; ideal for graft-tunnel length mismatch</li>
 <li>360° of graft contact to the socket and improved ACL footprint filling vs internal fixation screws</li>
 <li>No tying knots or cinching suture against the bone block</li>
</ul>
