by William Mallon MD – Skin Incision: – Identification of Radial Nerve: – Identification of 3-4 Interval: – Longitudinal Arthrotomy: – arthrotomy performed just distal to Lister’s tubercle over scapholunate interval; – this should provide clear exposure of scaphoid and lunate; – alternatively, a distally based capsular flap can be … Read more
– Discussion: – see Arthrex, Mitek, Linvatec, Smith-Nephew – in choosing a fixation technqiue consider the need for the following: – circumferential (360 deg) healing of graft against tunnel wall (interference screws do not permit this); – bioabsorbable material … Read more
Discussion femoral tunnel tibial tunnel: isometric placement of ACL refers to the concept that a full range of knee can be achieved w/o causing long-term ligament deformation; isometry can not exist because, during ROM, there is no one point on femur that maintains a fixed distance from a single point on tibia; elongation always will … Read more
