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...

Effect 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 ...

Biomechanical Consequences of Coracoclavicular Reconstruction Techniques on Clavicle Strength

BACKGROUND Lateral clavicle fractures have been reported after coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstructions with bone tunnels through the clavicle. PURPOSE To biomechanically compare clavicle strength following 2 common CC reconstruction techniques with different bone tunnel diameters. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Testing was performed on 2 groups of matched-pair ca...

Biomechanical Comparison Between Bashti Bone Plug Technique and Biodegradable Screw for Fixation of Grafts in Ligament surgery

  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...

[Bone-tendon integration of autologous grafts using different diameter tunnels. An experimental study on sheep].

OBJECTIVE To analyse the bone-ligament integration «ligamentization» of the tendon graft in the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) performing tunnels of different diameter. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed the same reconstruction procedure using an autologous tendon graft taken from the superficial tendon of the hoof in 41 adult sheep. In Group A the tibial and femoral tunnel...
