The cancellous screw has an extremely low profile head to reduce soft tissue irritation. A step drill with laser depth marking countersinks the screw head flush to bone when used as a suture fixation post. The smooth shank with suture groove orients the sutures safely under the head during screw insertion. The optional, low profile spiked washer may be used in conjunction with the cancellous screw for fixation of soft tissue or tendons directly to bone. The 6.5 mm diameter screw and washer are manufactured using titanium ASTM F-136 alloy.

Low Profile Cancellous Screw and Washer

Child (D)

The ACL/PCL Cortical Fixation Case is a system that incorporates a variety of fixation options. The set includes low-profile 4.5 mm cortical, 6.5 mm cortical, and 6.5 mm cancellous screw options. It also includes low-profile spiked washers and ligament staples. The screws have extremely low profile heads to reduce soft tissue irritation. A step drill with laser depth marking countersinks the screw head flush to bone when used as a suture fixation post. The smooth shank with suture groove orients the sutures safely under the head during screw insertion. The optional, low profile spiked washer may be used in conjunction with the cancellous screw for fixation of soft tissue or tendons directly to bone. The instrumentation set includes a 2.5 mm Drill for Bi-Cortical Post to broach the cortical bone, while the depth device is used to obtain accurate sizing information. Although the post has a self-tapping feature, a tap is included for those who prefer the “drill-measure-tap” insertion technique. Ligament staples, with a low profile bridge, reduce the frequency of secondary removal due to patient discomfort caused by soft tissue irritation. The cobalt chrome spiked fixation staple has sharp leg points for easier penetration into cortical bone without predrilling. The Staple Driver with attachable impactor/extractor allows complete impaction since the staple driver tip is flush with the staple bridge. The Staple Seating Punch may be used for further impaction. All staples are 20 mm in length.

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

The 4.5 mm diameter Bi-Cortical Post has an extremely low profile head to reduce soft tissue irritation. A 2.5 mm Drill for Bi-Cortical Post is used to broach the cortical bone, while the Depth Device is used to obtain accurate sizing information. Although the post has a self-tapping feature, a tap is included for those who prefer the “drill-measure-tap” insertion technique. The optional low profile, spiked washer may be used in conjunction with the Bi-Cortical Post for fixation of soft tissue tendons directly to bone. The posts and washers are manufactured using titanium ASTM F-136 alloy. The smooth, concave-shaped washer option is used to securely trap attached sutures and bulky suture knots atraumatically under the low profile washer to eliminate potential soft tissue irritation. The spiked washer option facilitates direct soft tissue or ligament fixation to bone.

Bi-Cortical Post and Washer

Multiple collateral ligament reconstruction techniques, from aperture fixation using the BioComposite SwiveLock® tenodesis system with biocomposite interference screws to suspensory fixation using TightRope® technology, are available.
FiberTak® soft anchors and biocomposite suture anchors, which come preloaded with needles, are part of a comprehensive line of anchor fixation devices supporting primary or hybrid collateral ligament repair and reconstruction techniques.

Collateral Ligament Graft Fixation

Arthroscopic-assisted surgical reconstruction of the PCL using the FlipCutter® drill with RetroConstruction™ technology allows for more anatomic placement and safer drilling in the posterior aspect of the knee. Anterograde drilling can also be performed using low-profile reamers in a far lateral portal to avoid iatrogenic injury. Allograft fixation is accomplished with biocomposite, PEEK, or titanium interference screws. Either a single- or double-bundle allograft reconstruction can be performed using these techniques. Some surgeons may elect to use backup, extracortical fixation.
