Description
Summary: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. [Display omitted]
