Q: What is the process for using the Endo Button Knotless Rope with Brace in ligament reconstruction?
A: The implant is attached via a knotless rope loop through its rectangular titanium button, which is positioned at the graft site. The adjustable loop secures the graft, aided by the BRACE system for additional support. Radiopaque thread markers assist surgeons in accurate real-time placement, making the process efficient and reliable.
Q: When should this implant be used in orthopedic surgeries?
A: The device is intended for use during single-stage ACL and PCL reconstructive procedures or combined ligament repair, where robust fixation and minimal tissue disruption are required. Its design accommodates standard ligament reconstruction techniques practiced in orthopedic surgery.
Q: What makes the Endo Button Knotless Rope compatible with various surgical techniques?
A: Its universal length, adjustable rope loop, and four-eyelet button allow for flexible management of graft sizes and positions, making it compatible with most standard methods of combined ligament reconstruction. This versatility streamlines integration into diverse clinical protocols.
Q: Where should the implant be stored prior to surgery?
A: For optimal shelf life and sterility, the device must be stored in a dry, sterile environment at room temperature. Proper storage conditions ensure the implant remains ready for use and maintains its integrity for up to five years.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a radiopaque thread marker in this product?
A: A radiopaque thread marker enables surgeons to visualize the implant's position during intraoperative imaging, ensuring precise placement and reducing the risk of misalignment during ligament fixation procedures.
