Abstract:
Supplementary fixation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may be necessary in some situations. There are several methods described for supplementary fixation with their advantages and disadvantages. Anchor fixation is preferred by many because it does not require a second surgery for removal. However, anchors are costly. We described the "make and use" all-suture anchor, which can be made instantly whenever required. We modified "make and use" all-suture anchors for supplementary fixation after ACL reconstruction. This technical note aims to describe the method of supplementary fixation using the "make and use" all-suture anchor.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
Introduction to the Skeletal System
Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
Cartilage, a semi-rigid connective tissue found in regions such as...
