The PCL Femoral Aimer (ZX24.005) is a highly specialized surgical instrument used for creating the femoral tunnel during Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) reconstruction procedures. It is specifically designed for drilling using a medial incision. Its rigid design and calibrated tip work together to ensure consistent and accurate guide wire placement. A key feature is the hoop tip, which provides a visual reference for the diameter of the fully reamed tunnel. This visual reference is crucial for helping the surgeon avoid tunnel encroachment on the articular surface, preserving joint health and function.
Key features include:
-
Primary Use: Guiding the guide wire for femoral tunnel drilling during PCL reconstruction procedures.
-
Design: Features a rigid design along with a calibrated tip for accuracy.
-
Surgical Approach: Designed for use during drilling with a medial incision.
-
Safety Feature: The hoop tip helps avoid tunnel encroachment on the articular surface by providing a visual reference for the tunnel diameter.
-
Set Component: Identified as ZX24.005, it is a vital tool in professional ACL/PCL Instrument Sets.
