ACL TightRope® RT - LS0178

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses advancements in ACL TightRope RT fixation, focusing on new techniques for graft advancement and fixation, particularly in ACL reconstruction surgeries.
Specifications
The ACL TightRope RT facilitates graft advancement and fixation in the same direction, offering a new tibial fixation option. It allows for femoral graft fixation with lateral cinching sutures through the guide pin hole, eliminating the need for secondary drilling.
Procedures
The ACL TightRope RT simplifies All-Inside ACL Reconstruction by enabling graft tensioning in full extension with distal button fixation over cortical bone. The femoral graft fixation allows an in-line pull of cinching sutures for complete graft advancement into the femoral socket.
Norms and Recommendations
The use of the ACL TightRope Button through a guide pin hole preserves bone for cortical fixation, avoiding the need to over ream. Cinching sutures are pulled laterally in line with the graft to facilitate advancement and allow femoral tensioning after tibial fixation if desired.
Key Features
The ACL TightRope RT for tibial fixation allows adjustable, cortical tibial fixation and simplifies All-Inside ACL Reconstruction when used with the GraftLink looped graft construct. After femoral fixation, the ACL TightRope RT is passed through the anterior cortex, and the graft is passed into the socket. Distal traction on cinching sutures allows tensioning of the graft at any angle of knee flexion, with the ACL TightRope Button ensuring consistent fixation on the tibial side.
Conclusion
The document highlights the innovative approach of the ACL TightRope RT in ACL reconstruction, emphasizing its efficiency in graft advancement and fixation, preserving bone integrity, and simplifying surgical procedures.
