Soft-tissue meniscal allograft transplantation techniques continue to evolve with the advancement of fixation devices. Using common meniscal repair devices allows for greater flexibility while ensuring anatomic graft placement. Soft–tissue-only meniscal allograft surgical techniques and clinical outcomes are well documented and have good clinical efficacy.1-4

Knee

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

The TightRope attachable button system (ABS) revolutionized minimally invasive, adjustable-loop suspensory fixation grafts used in knee ligament surgery. Suitable for all graft types, TightRope II ABS implant loops can be attached to a variety of button configurations for fixation over sockets created with a FlipCutter® drill or full tunnels with concave buttons.&nbsp;
The flat-tape TightRope II ABS implant loop improves handling characteristics and can reduce graft abrasion.1 Able to easily pass through narrow bone tunnels, the two-piece TightRope II ABS implant allows increased cortical fixation with the assembly of a large button over the cortical bone. During all-inside ACL reconstruction, use the TightRope II ABS implant for tibial fixation in QuadLink™ and GraftLink® techniques or graft fixation over small bone tunnels created during transtibial ACL reconstruction.
