Metallic or bioabsorbable interference screw for graft fixation in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction?
BACKGROUND Approximately 100,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are performed in the USA each year. Interference screw fixation is considered the standard for rigid fixation of the graft and provides higher fixation strength compared with other devices such as staples or buttons. The present study summarizes the latest evidence comparing the effectiveness of the available clas...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging analysis of the bioabsorbable Milagro™ interference screw for graft fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Ligament graft fixation with bioabsorbable interference screws is a standard procedure in cruciate ligament replacement. Previous screw designs may resorb incompletely, and can cause osteolysis and sterile cysts despite being implanted for several years. The aim of this study was to examine the in vivo degradation and biocompatibility of the new Milagro interference screw (Mitek, Norderstedt, G...
متن کاملBroken Bioabsorbable Tibial Interference Screw after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction using a Semitendinosus-gracilis Graft: A Case Report.
ABSTRACT When a patient presents with knee pain and locking after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, a new meniscal injury or an osteochondral loose body are usually considered for differential diagnosis. We present the case of a 22-year-old female with just these complaints 6 months after ACL reconstruction surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee showed a broken ...
متن کاملBioabsorbable screw fixation in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical properties of stainless steel and bioabsorbable screw fixation of the clavicle to the base of the coracoid. Seven matched pairs of fresh frozen shoulders were prepared by removing all soft tissue except the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligament complexes. The shoulders were randomly selected and fixed with 4.5-mm stainless ste...
متن کاملA comparison of functional outcome between bioabsorbable interference screw and endobutton fixation on femur in arthroscopic anterior cruciate Ligament reconstruction
Introduction: Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament [ACL] reconstruction is very commonly done procedure in recent times {1}. The graft fixation methods vary from aperture fixation [Interference screws] to suspensory fixation methods [Endobutton]. This is a Prospective non randomised clinical study of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction comparing the functional results between aperture fixation a...
