Editorial Commentary: Not All Cortical Suspensory Fixation Devices Are Created Equal

Is Intraoperative Fluoroscopy Necessary to Confirm Device Position for Femoral-Sided Cortical Suspensory Fixation during Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?

“…of adjustable loop versus fixed loop constructs, the suspensory fixation technique has been shown to have strong outcomes in clinical studies. [14][15][16][17][18] Increased laxity within an ACL reconstruction construct has been shown to lead to graft instability and graft failure. [19][20][21][22][23] The suspensory fixation technique relies on the cortical device being perfectly apposed against the bony cortex to maximize biomechanical strength.…”
