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

FiberWire suture is constructed of a multi-strand, long chain ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) core with a braided jacket of polyester that provides strength, soft feel and abrasion resistance that is unequaled in orthopedic surgery. FiberWire suture represents a major advancement in orthopedic surgery.

The Arthrex AC Reconstruction line of products consists of the AC Reconstruction Set, a unique set of instruments developed to perform procedures and techniques associated with Dog Bone Button, AC TightRope®, the TwinTail TightRope System, Chronic AC Joint Reconstruction and the AC Joint Master Set.

AC Reconstruction Set

FiberWire® can be used for open Achilles repair. The superior strength allows tighter loop security during knot tying and increasing knot integrity while reducing the knot profile compared to standard polyester suture.

FiberWire® Suture Technique for Achilles Rupture

The Humeral SuturePlate™ is an anatomically designed polyaxial locking plate and screw system designed for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures. These low profile plates with polyaxial bushings provide freedom to direct the locking screws within the anatomical template, based on the fracture pattern and bone quality for better fixation. Multiple chamfered suture eyelets along the margin of the plate allow the surgeon to pass FiberWire® suture after the plate is fixed to bone. FiberWire® Suture Kits which contain color-coded #2 or #5 FiberWire® sutures, with needles on each end, are available to facilitate suturing the soft tissue to the plate after it is in place.

Humeral SuturePlate™ Repair

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>

The SCR technique was pioneered by Dr. Teruhisa Mihata in 2007 for patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears. In the SCR study, a 24- to 51-month follow-up on 23 patients shows outstanding outcomes in pain, ASES scores, and acromiohumeral distance measurements.1 The SCR technique reinforces the superior capsule, keeping the humeral head centered in the glenoid by attaching tissue from the glenoid to the greater tuberosity.

Univers Revers™ Total Shoulder System

Reconstruction of proximal humerus fractures is often complicated by the loss of anatomic orientation features and the inability to adequately reduce and securely fix the displaced tuberosity fragments. With its uniquely designed implant and instrumentation, the Univers Shoulder Fracture System addresses issues relating to stabilizing the humeral prosthesis and accurately positioning the humeral head. Accurately reduce and fix the tuberosities with this system's straightforward, reproducible protocol.
The system includes:
<ul>
 <li>An intraoperative adjustable humeral head prosthesis for secondary correction of the implant head height in situ.</li>
 <li>A preoperative and intraoperative measure guide to accurately set the humeral head height without need for technically demanding and complicated fracture jigs.</li>
 <li>Lateral fin positions with suture eyelets for anatomic reconstruction of the tuberosities.</li>
 <li>Multiple suture eyelets on the trunnion to prevent secondary displacement of the tuberosities.</li>
 <li>Smooth chamfered dimples in the medial aspect of the humeral stem to allow suture fixation of the tuberosity fragments without causing suture fraying and breakage.</li>
 <li>Variable eccentric adjustment of the humeral head for anatomic reconstruction.</li>
</ul>

Univers™ Fracture Stems and Hemi Systems

The Univers fracture prosthesis is used to treat comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus, humeral head fractures, displaced 3- or 4-part proximal humerus fractures, avascular necrosis of the humeral head, and fractures of the anatomic neck. This prosthesis is designed for cemented or cementless use. The unique design of the implant and instrumentation, in combination with a straightforward, reproducible protocol for accurately reducing and repairing the tuberosity, helps address issues relating to stabilization of the humeral prosthesis and accurate positioning of the humeral head.

Univers™ Fracture Technique

The Univers II humeral component was designed to account for anatomical variations of the proximal humerus commonly encountered by the surgeon. Variable adjustment with respect to the inclination angle, version and head offset are features critical to reconstruction of the proximal humerus. The simplified design of the Univers II humeral component allows for the adaptation of the humeral stem and articular surface to the position that best represents the patient’s normal anatomy. All of the adjustments can be made intraoperatively with the implant in the humeral canal. This unique feature allows the surgeon to more accurately recreate the normal anatomical relationships of the shoulder joint.
