Self-flip Technique of the TightRope RT Button for Soft-Tissue Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract: The TightRope RT (Arthrex, Naples, FL) is a suspensory device for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, there is a potential risk of the button being pulled too far off the lateral femoral cortex into the soft tissue because the adjustable loop is long. The purpose of this article is to present an easy and safe technique for self-flip. As to the preparation of the graft, we draw the first line in the loop of the TightRope RT at the same length as the femoral tunnel, and we draw the second line 7 … Show more

“…Then, the tibial tunnel was made with the use of an ACL tibial guide. Finally, the prepared graft was fixed by a bioabsorbable interference screw with a post tie for the tibial side and a TightRope ® RT (Arthrex, Naples, FL, US) for the femoral side [ 19 ]. The two surgeons performed all operations using the same technique.…”

“…КТ сразу после операции не выполняли, а сравнивали полученные результаты с известными диаметрами из протоколов операций всех пациентов. Связано это с доказанным соответствием диаметра сверла, используемого во время хирургического вмешательства, и результатов измерений по КТ, проведенных на следующий день после него [7,15].…”

“…Из-за расширения костных каналов могут возникнуть такие проблемы, как замедленная интеграция трансплантата с костной тканью и развитие вторичной нестабильности, что приводит к удорожанию и двухэтапности ревизионной реконструкции ПКС при ее необходимости [3,6,7]. На сегодня причина расширения костных каналов в послеоперационном периоде до конца не ясна.…”
