$All-Inside Quad ACLR Using the FiberTag® TightRope® SB Implant With the InternalBrace™ Technique In this video, we demonstrate all‑inside ACL reconstruction using a quadriceps tendon autograft, combined with FiberTag® TightRope® soft-button fixation and InternalBrace™ augmentation. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key stabilizer of the knee, commonly injured in sports. Advanced surgical techniques aim to restore stability while minimizing invasiveness and improving recovery. 🔧 Procedure Overview The procedure begins with harvesting a full-thickness quadriceps tendon graft, typically around 65–70 mm in length, providing strong, reliable tissue for reconstruction. The graft is prepared using FiberTag® sutures and TightRope® soft-button fixation, creating a metal-free construct that avoids traditional hardware. Using an all-inside technique, sockets are created in both the femur and tibia with specialized reamers, allowing for precise graft placement while preserving bone. The graft is passed into the joint and secured using adjustable loop TightRope® fixation, ensuring strong cortical fixation on both sides. An InternalBrace™ FiberTape is then added and fixed with a suture anchor to reinforce the reconstruction and provide additional stability during healing. ✅ Key Benefits of All-Inside Quad ACL Reconstruction Minimally invasive all-inside approach Strong quadriceps tendon autograft Metal-free fixation with soft buttons Reinforced stability with InternalBrace™ augmentation Preserves bone and reduces surgical trauma 🦵 Clinical Applications This technique is commonly used for: ACL tears in athletes and active individuals Primary ACL reconstruction Patients seeking minimally invasive options Cases where bone preservation is important 🏃 Recovery & Outcomes Postoperative rehabilitation typically includes: Early controlled motion Progressive strengthening Gradual return to sports The addition of InternalBrace™ support may help enable earlier functional rehabilitation while protecting the graft. 🎯 Who This Video Is For Orthopedic surgeons & residents Sports medicine specialists Knee ligament reconstruction learners Athletes researching ACL surgery options 👇 Helpful Arthrex Reference Links: https://www.arthrex.com/foot-ankle/jones-fracture-repair?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video_description&utm_campaign=corp_foot_ankle&utm_content=FxcpUJ-UQNM_surgical_technique https://www.arthrex.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video_description&utm_campaign=corp_trauma&utm_content=FxcpUJ-UQNM_surgical_technique 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe to see more patient success stories and innovations in minimally invasive orthopedic procedures.
