Transtibial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using a Synthetic Graft Combined With Remnant Repair: A Hybrid Technique

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The purpose of this technical note is to describe a hybrid arthroscopic technique that combines anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a synthetic graft with concomitant remnant repair. Following diagnostic arthroscopy and assessment of remnant quality, tibial and femoral tunnels are created using a transtibial approach with attention

Tribological Studies of Modem orthopaedic biomaterial Combinations [PDF]

, 2005
Debris created during the wear of prosthetic joints is known to have an effect on the success of the implant. As such the factors affecting wear and lubrication need to be understood in order to reduce wear as much as possible in vivo.
