Achilles SpeedBridge™

The Achilles SpeedBridge is a novel concept for Achilles reattachment. Following debridement of insertional Achilles tendinosis, a skin incision is made posteriorly. The incision is carried down to the calcaneus and Achilles tendon insertion. The tendon is split at the line. Incision full thickness from posterior to anterior. The haglund's prominence is removed. Prepare the bone for insertion of the 24.7 five millimeters SwiveLock by drilling down to the laser line or to the shoulder stop. When using the drill guide, the hole is created one centimeter proximal to the distal insertion of the Achilles tendon. Use the tap and insert to the laser line. The 4.75mm SwiveLock loaded with FiberTape is inserted into the proximal hole. The eyelet should be placed completely in the drill hole until the anchor body makes contact with the bone. Hold the thumb pad steady and rotate the driver handle in a clockwise direction until the anchor body is flush with the bone. Repeat for the other side. Pass the needle attached to the FiberTape through the Achilles tendon on each side. Prepare the calcaneus distal to the Achilles tendon insertion. After cutting the swaged portion on each proximal anchor, retrieve one FiberTape tail from each proximal anchor one blue and one white black and preload them through the distal SwiveLock eyelet. Adjust tension of the FiberTape and insert the SwiveLock into the prepared distal bone socket until the anchor body contacts bone. Repeat for the other side. Cut the tails on the distal row flush to the anchor, resulting in the final knotless repair.
