The BioACL technique harnesses the power of next-generation biologics to provide the ultimate anatomic, minimally invasive, reproducible approach for taking patient outcomes to the next level.
By prefilling ACL bone tunnels with a powerful composite of concentrated platelet-rich plasma (cPRP) from bone marrow aspirate (BMA) or whole blood processed with the Angel® system, the patient’s own bone collected with the GraftNet™ device, and AlloSync® Pure demineralized bone matrix, the BioACL technique provides all the necessary healing components for an ACL reconstruction procedure.
In conjunction with the QuadLink™ with InternalBrace™ technique, the BioACL technique has been shown to result in earlier range of motion, improved limb symmetry, less bone-tunnel widening, and improved patient-reported outcomes as compared to nonaugmented ACL procedures.1&nbsp;

The&nbsp;InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

For more than a decade, Arthrex has offered multiple collateral ligament reconstruction techniques, ranging from socket- and tunnel-based aperture fixation with FastThread™ interference screws to suspensory fixation using TightRope® technology.&nbsp;
 
 
The newest addition to our anchor portfolio, Knee FiberTak® anchors allow surgeons to perform minimally invasive collateral ligament reconstruction techniques to restore stability while preserving native anatomy. This versatile line supports both hybrid and all-onlay reconstruction, using both knotted and knotless SutureTape technology in conjunction with the InternalBrace™ technique.

Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) and Posterolateral Corner (PLC) Reconstruction 

MCL reconstruction is typically performed when the MCL is severely injured or in cases of chronic MCL laxity. During an MCL reconstruction, autograft or allograft tissue is used to reconstruct the injured ligament. Graft-fixation technology for MCL reconstruction has evolved from staples, posts and washers, and interference screws to less invasive and easier-to-use suspensory fixation, including the TightRope® implant, and 
all-suture anchor technology, such as the Knee FiberTak® anchor.&nbsp;
Adding the InternalBrace™ technique to an MCL repair may result in lower failure rates and less residual laxity post-op as well as shorter immobilization times and faster return to play.1 Additionally, FiberTape® suture has been used for more than 15 years in more than 4 million cases, including tendon and ligament-bridging repairs.
The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to support the primary repair and is not intended as a replacement for the standard of care using biologic augmentation in a primary repair.&nbsp;The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only for soft-tissue-to-bone fixation and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Reconstruction

PCL injuries occur during sports-related activities or high-velocity, traumatic accidents. Indications for operative treatment of PCL tears include acute injuries, active young patients, and either isolated grade 3 tears or combined injuries, such as a grade 2 injury with posterolateral corner instability. 

Arthrex has several techniques for isolated PCL injuries—including PCL inlay reconstruction, double-bundle PCL reconstruction, and the transtibial PCL RetroConstruction™ procedure—that can be combined with multiligament or posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction.
Additionally, a comprehensive line of PCL reconstruction instrumentation is available for a variety of PCL reconstruction techniques, as well as autografts and allografts and single- or double-bundle options.

Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction

Quadriceps tendon grafts offer unique benefits for cruciate ligament reconstruction, such as a predictably large diameter, low morbidity,1 and a preferable stiffness profile for knee ligament reconstruction.
The QuadPro™ tendon harvester is designed to harvest a quadriceps or patellar tendon graft using a minimally invasive technique.2-4 The sharp tip cores out an approximate cylindrical graft. The harvester's ergonomically designed handle features graduations on the clear shaft to allow visualization of approximate graft length during harvesting. Available in four sizes (8 mm to 11 mm), the QuadPro tendon harvester can accommodate each patient’s unique needs as well as the surgeon’s preference for graft diameter.
The FiberTag® TightRope® implant facilitates attachment of single-ended grafts, such as quadriceps tendon grafts, to the ACL TightRope® RT and ABS implants. FiberTag suture is integrated into the TightRope® implant for a strong, consistent connection between the suture and TightRope loop. A simplified suturing technique, along with innovative packaging and the GraftClamp graft preparation instrument, make preparing quadriceps tendon grafts faster and more reproducible than ever.
