Bone-Tendon-Bone ACL Reconstruction Surgical Technique

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

Self-Notching

• The tapered nose of the EZStart™ Interference Screw allows for easy initial placement and guidance of the screw between the bone graft and the tunnel.

Self -Tapping

• The innovative dual-start thread design allows EZStart™ Interference Screws to advance when turned, while creating its own thread pattern.
• 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.

The Infinity™ Modular Guide System

Infinity™ Guide Arms

• The Infinity Modular Guide System features five guide arms that accommodate both ACL & PCL procedures.

Infinity™ Guide Body

• For maximum ease-of-use, the Infinity Guide Bodies are designed for single-hand use – allowing surgeons to easily adjust the guide arm with their thumb. The guide arm’s centering feature is designed to prevent off-target drilling and enable tunnel placement. For convenience, the quick latch feature makes switching between and removing guide sleeves fast and easy.
