ACROLIG® - 1

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

ACROLIG® - 2

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...

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...

ACROLIG® - 4

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...
