The Endofemoral Aimer Offset (Transtibial) is a crucial instrument used in ACL reconstruction to assist in the precise creation of the femoral socket when utilizing the transtibial technique. The offset tip is specifically designed to accurately position the guide wire (Graft Passing Pin) in the femoral notch, allowing the surgeon to create the bone socket at the anatomically correct location. It is available in various offset sizes (3mm to 7mm) to customize the distance of the femoral socket from the posterior cortex, which is essential for achieving optimal graft isometry and stability.
Key features include:
-
Primary Use: Used in ACL reconstruction to create the portal socket in order to place the graft passing pin.
-
Technique: Available for placing the graft passing pin through transtibial portals.
-
Design: Offset tip ensures the correct anatomical starting point for the femoral tunnel.
-
Sizing: Available in sizes ranging from 3mm to 7mm offset.
-
Accuracy: Ensures precise creation of the femoral socket during the transtibial procedure.
