Description
In this presentation, Alcindo Silva discusses the innovative "JuggerStitch" device designed for meniscal repair. The device features a knotless fixation system using soft tissue anchors and a zip loop mechanism for tension management. Silva details the specifications of the delivery system, including adjustable depth limits and needle types. He emphasizes the strong biomechanical properties seen in cadaver and porcine tests, demonstrating its effectiveness in distributing load. The presentation includes a step-by-step guide on performing a meniscal repair using the JuggerStitch, showcasing clinical cases, techniques for achieving proper tension, and the advantages of using this technique over traditional methods that involve peak implants. Silva concludes by highlighting the reduced risk of intraarticular abrasion and the impact on healing through design advancements.
