The ACL Tip Aimer (ZX24.003) is a specialized surgical instrument designed for use during Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures. Unlike the Elbow Aimer, the Tip Aimer is specifically useful when the ACL stump is completely removed from the tibia. This design allows the surgeon to accurately aim the guide wire or drill bit for creating the tibial tunnel, aligning the drilling precisely to the tip of the aimer. This instrument is critical for achieving correct anatomical tunnel placement, which is essential for maximizing graft isometry and the overall success of the reconstruction. It is a key, calibrated component of the comprehensive ACL/PCL instrument set.
Key features include:
-
Primary Use: Aiming the guide wire for tibial tunnel drilling during ACL reconstruction.
-
Design: Straightforward tip design for precise aiming.
-
Special Use Case: Useful when the ACL stump is completely removed from the tibia.
-
Accuracy: Designed for drilling to the tip of the aimer for precise placement.
-
Set Component: Identified as ZX24.003, part of the professional ACL/PCL Instrument Sets.
