Passage of the CMC Mini TightRope® Construct

The mini TightRope procedure allows surgeons to suspend the first metacarpal without harvesting a tendon. This small tip will allow you to pass your mini TightRope through the first and the second metacarpal more easily. Once you have passed the drilling portion of your K-wires through all four cortices of the first and second metacarpal, the swedge to end of your TightRope is ready to be loaded through the nitinol loop on the trailing end of the drilling K-wires only one centimeter or less of the swaged FiberWire should be passed through. This facilitates passage through the small 1.1mm drill hole. Passing more than one centimeter might cause resistance while passing the TightRope, causing undue stress on the nitinol loop. For more information on the CMC mini TightRope procedure, please refer to Arthrex or ask your Arthrex representative.
