Procedure

Ruptures of the quadriceps and patellar tendons are common in elite and recreational athletes. Most surgeons treat these injuries surgically to lessen the risk of long-term disability and morbidity. Historically, open techniques have been used for rupture repairs but may be complicated by wound-healing issues and infection. The minimally invasive Percutaneous Achilles Repair System (PARS) technique can be used to treat quadriceps, patellar, and Achilles tendon ruptures.

SutureTape, the upgraded version of FiberWire® suture, is the next generation in suture technology. Compared to FiberWire suture, flat-braided SutureTape is similar in strength and more resistant to tissue pull-through.1 It offers improved handling and knot security with smaller comparable knot stacks. SutureTape is available in 0.9 mm, 1.3 mm, and 1.7 mm sizes and in multiple colors and patterns.

SutureTape

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 offer 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 GraftLink technique provides the ultimate in anatomic, minimally invasive, and reproducible ACL reconstruction. Used in combination with anatomic guides, the FlipCutter® III drill allows independent femoral and tibial "retrodrilling" to create sockets while maintaining the cortices to maximize fixation. Femoral and tibial TightRope® II implants, with a proprietary 5-point locking system, make the GraftLink technique the most reproducible ACL reconstruction available.
<ul>
 <li>Anatomic:&nbsp;Independent tibial and femoral socket preparation with FlipCutter III reamer and/or low-profile reamers facilitate unconstrained placement of the ACL graft.</li>
 <li>Minimally Invasive:&nbsp;Socket preparation with the FlipCutter III reamer limits soft-tissue dissection and helps preserve bone and periosteum.&nbsp;</li>
 <li>Reproducible:&nbsp;The GraftPro® graft preparation system simplifies graft preparation; the tapered graft and adjustable ACL TightRope II buttons facilitate graft passing, fine tuning of graft depth, and graft tensioning from the femoral and tibial sides.</li>
</ul>

GraftLink® Technique

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>
