“…Suspensory fixation has been reported to result in a higher incidence of tunnel widening13). On the other hand, it is increasingly used with the popularity of outside-in femoral drilling for better replication of the anatomy of the native ACL and the development of new strong devices3–5). However, using these devices, some difficulties could be encountered during the operation such as incomplete seating, flipping failure, jamming inside the femoral canal or iliotibial band, and pulling to the outside of the skin or to the joint.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of our technique that allows direct visualization of seating of suspensory devices in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Materials and MethodsThree different suspensory devices (TightRope RT, RetroButton, and EndoButton) were used in ACL reconstruction using 3 different techniques (outside-in, anteromedial [AM] portal, and transtibial techniques). Positioning of a guiding material and seating pattern of the suspensory devices were evaluated according to the surgical technique and suspensory device used.ResultsOn the transtibial technique, 21 of total 26 cases (81%) of single bundle reconstructions and 22 of total 22 cases (100%) of double bundle reconstructions required superolateral capsulotomy where buttons were found in 21 of total 21 cases (100%) and 17 of 22 cases (77%), respectively. On the AM portal technique, all patients required capsulotomy and the button was found in only 18 of total 32 cases (56%) even after capsulotomy. On the outside-in technique, all patients required capsulotomy and the button was found in 86 of total 86 cases (100%).ConclusionsOur technique for direct visualization of seating of the suspensory devices was more effective in outside-in and single bundle transtibial ACL reconstruction. However, it was less effective in double bundle transtibial and AM portal ACL reconstructions.

“…Although it achieves a rapid and secure fixation, button style extra-cortical fixation device can slide into the tunnel (Fig. 11) (31). Possible interpositioning of tissue between extra-cortical devices and the cortex has no effect on the long-term outcome (Fig.…”

Reconstruction of a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a well-established procedure for repair of ACL injury. Despite improvement of surgical and rehabilitation techniques over the past decades, up to 25% of patients still fail to regain satisfactory function after an ACL reconstruction. With development of CT imaging techniques for reducing metal artifacts, multi-planar reconstruction, and three-dimensional reconstruction, early post-operative imaging is increasingly being used to provide immediate feedback to surgeons regarding tunnel positioning, fixation, and device placement. Early post-operative radiography and CT imaging are easy to perform and serve as the baseline examinations for future reference.

“…9-11 Button devices connected to suture, similar to the ones used in this technique, show rare tendency to migration but may occur over time with breakage of the attached suture. 12 The authors were unable to find reference to migration of a button device used around the thorax. This technique has proven effective in both acute and chronic settings and has been successful in returning patients to high levels of activity and military service.…”
