Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • The TightRope RT is an adjustable graft suspension device for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
  • It aims to simplify fixation and improve graft fill in short femoral sockets.
  • However, it shares potential complications with EndoButton fixation, including maldeployment of the button.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel arthroscopic technique for visualizing TightRope RT button deployment.
  • To prevent complications related to incorrect button seating during ACL reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • A simple arthroscopic technique is presented.
  • Direct visualization of the TightRope RT button's seating on the lateral femoral cortex is achieved.
  • This technique aims to avoid button malposition within the femoral tunnel or soft tissues.

Main Results:

  • The described technique allows direct intraoperative assessment of button placement.
  • It provides a method to ensure correct seating of the TightRope RT button.
  • Potential complications associated with maldeployment can be identified and corrected.

Conclusions:

  • This technique offers a straightforward solution to prevent TightRope RT button-related complications.
  • Ensuring proper button deployment is crucial for successful ACL reconstruction outcomes.
  • Arthroscopic visualization enhances the safety and efficacy of graft fixation devices.
