Shoulder

Procedure

Biologic tuberoplasty harnesses the power of the ArthroFlex dermal allograft to provide a permanent spacer between the acromion and the tuberosity that can prevent bone-on-bone contact due to an irreparable rotator cuff tear.&nbsp;&nbsp;Self-punching tensionable knotless anchor technology allows the ArthroFlex graft to be placed in a quick, effective, and&nbsp; reproducible technique preventing shoulder with impingement syndrome, often associated with shoulder pain.&nbsp;

Biologic Tuberoplasty Technique

Child (D)

Knee

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

Collateral Ligament Graft Fixation

The goal of lateral extra-articular augmentation or reconstruction is to eliminate residual laxity and reduce the risk of ACL graft rupture. Two common techniques include iliotibial band (ITB) tenodesis and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction. These procedures play a role in augmenting rotational stability in the ACL-reconstructed knee. Patients who see the greatest benefit include hyperlax patients, revision cases, pivoting athletes, and those with IKDC grade III pivot shifts.
There are several distinct advantages of using adjustable, tensionable implant technology, such as the Knotless FiberTak® or FiberTag® TightRope®, when compared to traditional techniques using staples or interference screws. These advantages include:
<ul>
 <li>Simple: Quick, easy, and reproducible techniques.</li>
 <li>Safe: Reduced risk of ACL femoral tunnel convergence as Knotless FiberTak anchor sets just below the cortex. The self-punching anchor technique is designed to reduce the risk of damaging ACL graft as seen with traditional techniques that require drilling. No risk of graft laceration as described with interference screw techniques.1</li>
 <li>Low Profile: Techniques using additional hardware, such as staples, may lead to pain or discomfort, warranting hardware removal. There is no prominent hardware when using an anchor or TightRope implant.1</li>
 <li>Preserves Anatomy: The Knotless FiberTak onlay technique avoids drilling a socket. The FiberTag TightRope Implant minimizes the length of graft required for harvest.</li>
 <li>Titratable Graft Tensioning: With these techniques, a surgeon can provisionally tension and incrementally retension the graft after checking for isometry and overconstraint</li>
</ul>

Iliotibial Band Tenodesis

Product

Knotless FiberTak soft anchors combine the benefits of all-suture anchors with knotless soft-tissue fixation. A tensionable, suture-locking mechanism allows users to control the repair tension under direct visualization.

Knotless FiberTak® Soft Anchor

The 2.6 FiberTak soft anchors are available double- and triple-loaded with SutureTape, complemented by a guided delivery system and 2.6 mm drill or punch to help minimize bone removal. These anchors offer the benefits, clinical experience, and product support surgeons have come to appreciate from Arthrex.
The Knotless 2.6 FiberTak anchor offers a tensionable knotless mechanism, allowing suture tension to be controlled and adjusted under direct visualization.

2.6 FiberTak® Soft Anchor Technique

The PASTA bridge technique allows for the transtendon repair of partial, articular-sided supraspinatus tendon avulsions. This technique simplifies PASTA repair, while providing a secure construct technique that enhances footprint compression to maximize contact between tendon and bone.
The technique can be performed in a knotted or knotless fashion through percutaneous transtendon anchor insertion with no arthroscopic suture passing or knot tying, creating a simple, reproducible technique.
