Arthrex offers a comprehensive selection of fixation devices for a variety of bone-patella 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 simplifies ACL reconstruction and facilitates advanced techniques such as the GraftLink® technique. FastThread™ BioComposite interference screws allow for faster screw insertion, better graft protection, and are made of time-tested material with more than a decade of clinical success and implantation.2

ACL BTB Graft Fixation

Child (D)

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

Once the minimally invasive or open incision is made and proper soft-tissue windows are established, use the fibular, tibial, and/or femoral collateral marking hooks for anatomic precision and osseous measurements when drilling the appropriate reconstruction tunnels. Using the femoral collateral marking hook with the parallel drill guide will increase anatomic femoral drilling efficiency by significantly reducing convergent tunnels and allowing for accurate guide pin placement at multiple incremental distances. During tunnel creation, use the spooned ends of the collateral ligament retractor to protect the neurovascular structures and the collateral ligament rasp to chamfer the aperture of the completed reconstruction tunnels. Then use FiberWire® or FiberStick™ suture to pass the prepared grafts and tension to the desired position prior to graft fixation.

Anatomic Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Set

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.

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

BioComposite FastThread interference screws are designed with a prominent leading and large thread pitch to facilitate screw engagement and advancement. Optimized screw threads improve pullout strength vs longer screws of the same diameter.1 Vented sidewalls and screw geometry decrease material by 22% without losing insertion or fixation strength.2,3 Arthrex’s proprietary biocomposite material has withstood the test of time with more than a decade of clinical use and millions of implantations.4 Rounded thread and head design may reduce damage to graft on insertion and cycling. Fewer screw heads reduce turns, twisting, and possible graft abrasion. The 20 mm screws are packaged with an insertion sheath.
PEEK FastThread screws offer a nonmetallic fixation option that can be placed without a tap, have a similar modulus as bone and will not affect future visualization with MRI.1,2 PEEK FastThread screws are available in 20 mm and 30 mm lengths.

FastThread™ Interference Screws

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.
