ACROLIG®

Product catalog summary

Indications for ACROLIG^TM Plasty:
ACROLIG^TM plasty is indicated for both new and chronic acromioclavicular lesions. In new lesions, it maintains reduction during ligament healing and provides secondary reinforcement. In chronic lesions, it guides collagen colonization and reconstruction of ligaments.

Surgical Technique:
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia with the patient in a semi-reclining position. An anteroposterior approach is used, and the delto-trapezial fascia is opened in a 'J' shape. The ACROLIG^TM is threaded under the coracoid and tightened to reduce subluxation. In chronic cases, distal clavicle resection may be necessary. Fixation is achieved using a titanium staple and locking screw.

Post-Operative Protocol:
Post-surgery, the elbow is immobilized for three weeks. Pendular arm movements are prohibited during this period, followed by a rehabilitation protocol. Most sports activities can be resumed by the third post-operative month.

Implants and Instruments:
The ACROLIG^TM is a 20 x 160 mm polyethylene terephthalate strip, designed for ligament repair. It complies with ISO 13485 and CE standards. The fixation system includes a titanium staple and locking screw. Instruments required include a drill guide, impactor screwdriver, and hexagonal screwdriver.

Objectives Fulfilled by ACROLIG^TM:
The ACROLIG^TM aims to reduce dislocation, repair ligaments, avoid anterior subluxation, and eliminate the need for additional pins. It ensures a perfect anatomical fit, reinforced healing, and early functional recovery.

ACROLIG Acromioclavicular stabilization plasty ACROLIG PLASTY IS INDICATED 1. In new lesions where it will maintain reduction during the period of ligament healing and assure secondary reinforcement. 2. In chronic lesions where its role of “tutor” will guide the colonisation of collagen and the reconstruction of new coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligaments

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE 1 1. Note that the patient is under general anaesthetic in a semi-reclining position releasing the shoulder. The approach used is an anteroposterior approach to the “epaulette” between the coracoid process at the front and the acromion at the back. The delto-trapezial fascia is opened in “J” following the curve of the acromion by adapting itself to possible associated musculo-aponeurotic lesions. 2. In the event of disinsertion of the delto-pectoral yoke, the coracoid is easily approached from the front of the clavicle. In other cases, the fibres of the anterior deltoid can...

4. The first flat section of the ACROLIG “knots” round the clavicle from front to back, reducing the coracoidoclavicular subluxation, a stop point allowing for fixing this first time of reduction. It is pulled back using the second flat section. It reduces both anterior and posterior subluxation while strengthening acromioclavicular ligament repair. In old lesions: A resection of the distal cm of the clavicle is often associated with this. 5. Fixation of the tensioned ligament on the acromion using the fixation staple and the locking screw perpendicular to the posterior edge of the clavicle (thickest...

The ACROLIG is a flat reinforcing strip of 20 X 160 mm made from Polyethylene Terephtalate, a material that is widely proven in ligament repair and reconstructive surgery. The fiber is the result of the best manufacturing processes in compliance with current standards - ISO 13485 and CE marking - and requirements for perfect biocompatibility for implants: tests . available on request. This ligament has been specially designed for articular triplasty, hence its unique design in three sections to suit the anatomical imperatives of the coracoid, acromion and clavicle. FIXATION SYSTEM: Titanium TA6V...
