Description

ACL Screws (Titanium):
n
nTitanium ACL screws are implants used in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery to fix grafts (like hamstring or patellar tendon) inside the bone tunnels. They are preferred because titanium is biocompatible, strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant.
n
n🔹 Types of ACL Titanium Screws:
n
n1. Interference Screws
n
nUsed to secure the graft inside the femoral or tibial tunnel.
n
nDesigned with special threads for maximum fixation.
n
nCan be cannulated (hollow) or solid.
n
n 
n
n2. Cannulated Screws
n
nPlaced over a guide wire for accurate positioning.
n
n 
n
n3. Headless / Fully Threaded Screws
n
nReduce irritation to surrounding tissues.

n🔹 Features:
n
nMade of medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
n
nAvailable in multiple diameters (6 mm to 12 mm) and lengths (20 mm to 35 mm).
n
nRadiolucent with minimal MRI interference.
n
nHigh pull-out strength for secure graft fixation.
n
n🔹 Advantages:
n
nExcellent biocompatibility (less chance of rejection).
