Bone-tendon-bone Acl Reconstruction Surgical Technique-orthopaedic Solutions – Knee – Specialties – Knee Procedures-medical-equipment-south-africa

ACL Reconstruction using a bone-tendon-bone graft has become increasingly popular especially among the younger, active patient population. BTB grafts are often harvested from the patient’s central third of the patellar tendon, or a surgeon may prefer an BTB allograft from a donor. Benefits of BTB grafts include faster healing rates from bone to bone integration and aperture fixation of the graft against the bone tunnels.

EZStart™ Interference Screws

• Designed to eliminate the need for traditional taps.

GENESYS™ Matryx^® Interference Screw

• Provide an optimal combination of biologic healing* and mechanical integrity.
• These interference screws deliver strong initial fixation during the critical healing period and provide a scaffold to enable bone in-growth during the subsequent resorption period.
• This process allows restoration of the patient’s natural anatomy both biologically and mechanically.
