Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is widely performed arthroscopic procedures amongst sportspersons to prevent worsening of knee joint injury. The Sironix ACL jig is a novel approach to ensure an appropriate angle for accurate placement and drilling of tibial and femoral tunnels, that is a critical step for stronger and stable ACL graft fixation. It is designed as a patented jig with a three-point arm contact system. The three reference points serve as a continuous visual feedback on the angle of approach during surgery and minimize the parallax errors. Sironix ACL jig helps the orthopaedic surgeon in deciding the feasibility of a single bundle or double bundle ACL technique, facilitates varying technique choices for drilling, including inside-out and outside-in, accurately determines the tibial and femoral tunnel positioning in arthroscopic or open ACL reconstruction and therefore increases the procedural convenience.
