Description

ArthroButton with Adjustable Loop

The ArthroButton adjustable loop is an implant commonly used in ACL and PCL reconstruction surgeries. It is designed to provide strong femoral fixation while allowing the surgeon flexibility in graft tensioning and positioning.

🔹 Key Features:

Button Fixation: A small titanium button sits on the outer femoral cortex, securing the graft.

Adjustable Loop: Made of high-strength suture material, the loop length can be shortened after graft passage, ensuring the graft is pulled snugly into the femoral tunnel.

Flexibility: Unlike fixed-loop devices, it allows adjustment of graft position without requiring exact tunnel length measurement.

Minimally Invasive: Provides stable fixation while requiring a smaller incision.

Applications:

ACL reconstruction (most common)

PCL reconstruction

Other ligament or tendon reconstructions needing cortical fixation

🔹 Advantages over Fixed Loop:

No need for precise pre-measurement of tunnel length.

Reduces risk of graft-tunnel mismatch.

Provides better control during tensioning.
