Anatomical and minimally invasive ankle lateral ligament reconstruction (ALL) by gracilis tendon transplant was developed to address chronic ankle instability. It is based on various principles:
– gracilis tendon transplant instead of autografting, which would weaken an already damaged ankle
– anatomical transplant trajectory that minimises medium and long-term laxity while preserving good mobility
– minimally invasive approach
– reproducible positioning with a patented aiming device
Features and materials:
Absorbable 100% PLLA interference screw, 6 mm diameter, 20 mm length
Instrumentation:
Streamlined and minimalist instrumentation kit consists of an aiming device used to make two convergent tunnels, graft harvesting instruments and drills.
