ArthroButton with Adjustable Loop
n
nThe 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.
n
n🔹 Key Features:
n
nButton Fixation: A small titanium button sits on the outer femoral cortex, securing the graft.
n
nAdjustable 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.
n
nFlexibility: Unlike fixed-loop devices, it allows adjustment of graft position without requiring exact tunnel length measurement.
n
nMinimally Invasive: Provides stable fixation while requiring a smaller incision.
n
nApplications:
n
nACL reconstruction (most common)
n
nPCL reconstruction
n
nOther ligament or tendon reconstructions needing cortical fixation

n
n🔹 Advantages over Fixed Loop:
n
nNo need for precise pre-measurement of tunnel length.
n
nReduces risk of graft-tunnel mismatch.
n
nProvides better control during tensioning.
