Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the A-Curve, a specialized instrument designed for accessing hard-to-reach ankle lesions. It highlights the benefits of using small subchondral drill holes to improve osteochondral repair, as supported by research findings.
Key Findings: The study by Eldracher et al. (2014) indicates that small subchondral drill holes significantly enhance marrow stimulation for articular cartilage defects. Improvements were noted in histological repair and collagen immunoreactivity.
Product Features: The A-Curve reduces surface skiving during off-axis channel preparation and enhances bone marrow access for cartilage repair. It includes a Thumble Handle Instrument and PluriStik Guide Wire.
Ordering Information: The document provides product codes for ordering the A-Curve and its accessories, including hand instruments and guide wires.
Procedure Steps: The procedure involves assembling and orienting the instrument on the lesion, gently tapping to the depth stop, and using the Thumble to extract the PluriStik, repeating as necessary.
Technical Specifications: The document compares open and closed trabecular channels using microCT images and provides specifications for NanoFx and Microfracture channels.
Contact Information: For more information, the document directs readers to visit the Arthrosurface website or contact them via phone or fax.

* “Significant enhancements were observed at the level of individual parameters and of overall histological articular cartilage repair, together with improved immunoreactivity to type II and type I collagen of the cartilaginous repair tissue. Second, the microarchitecture of both the subchondral bone plate and the subarticular spongiosa was better reconstituted.” Eldracher M, Orth P, Cucchiarini M, Pape D, Madry H.
