Procedure

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.

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.
