Novel technique for passing tendon grafts through bone tunnels.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anatomic reconstruction in orthopedic surgery often requires the passage of soft tissue through bone tunnels. Difficulties may arise due to anatomic constraints surrounding the bone tunnels or the graft size. The authors present a novel technique for passing tendon grafts through bone tunnels that is simple, readily available, effective, and comparatively inexpensive.

A reliable and reproducible method for establishing accurate patella drill holes for quadriceps tendon repair
BACKGROUND Various techniques for quadriceps tendon repair have been described with biomechanical studies suggesting greater failure threshold with longitudinally placed drill holes. 1 The current gold standard for repair uses 3–4 sutures 2 passed through parallel longitudinal transpatel-lar bone tunnels. We describe a simple and reproducible technique Figure 1 Acufex ® Director™ Drill Guide po...
متن کاملEffect of Calcium Phosphate–Hybridized Tendon Graft in Anatomic Single-Bundle ACL Reconstruction in Goats
BACKGROUND We previously developed a novel technique using an alternate soaking process that improves tendon-bone healing by hybridizing the tendon graft with calcium phosphate (CaP). However, the effects of the CaP-hybridized tendon graft on anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remain unclear. PURPOSE To determine the effects of CaP-hybridized tendon grafts ...

Background: Ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. Although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. Purposes: We sought to introduce our new technique of Bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to compar...
