ACL Interference Screws Titanium Grade 5 7 10mm are orthopedic fixation implants designed for use in ligament reconstruction procedures, particularly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Interference screws are used to secure a soft-tissue or bone-tendon graft within a prepared bone tunnel, providing mechanical fixation during reconstructive orthopedic surgery.

The screw design allows the implant to be positioned within the bone tunnel alongside the graft. When appropriately selected and inserted using the recommended surgical technique, an interference screw can provide fixation of the graft within the tunnel. The specific screw diameter and length should be selected by the orthopedic surgeon according to graft dimensions, tunnel size, bone quality, fixation technique, and the requirements of the applicable surgical system.

This set includes 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, and 10 mm diameter options, providing a range of implant sizes for different anatomical and surgical requirements. Available lengths from 20 mm to 35 mm further expand the selection, allowing the surgeon to choose a screw configuration appropriate for the intended fixation site and tunnel dimensions.

Manufactured from Titanium Grade 5, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, these interference screws are made from a titanium alloy widely utilized in orthopedic implant applications. Titanium Grade 5 provides a combination of high strength, relatively low density, corrosion resistance, and established biocompatibility characteristics. The material is suitable for applications where mechanical reliability and resistance to corrosion are important considerations.

The screw geometry is intended to facilitate controlled insertion into the bone tunnel while maintaining contact with the graft. Thread design, screw diameter, length, and insertion technique are important factors in achieving appropriate graft fixation. Surgical insertion should be performed using compatible instrumentation and according to the manufacturer’s recommended technique.

The 49-piece configuration provides a broad selection of ACL interference screw sizes for orthopedic surgical facilities, sports medicine centers, hospitals, and professional implant suppliers. Maintaining multiple diameters and lengths can help surgical teams select an appropriately sized interference screw based on preoperative planning and intraoperative findings.

These ACL interference screws may be used in reconstructive procedures involving ligament or tendon graft fixation, subject to the approved indications of the specific device. Common applications may include ACL reconstruction and other ligament reconstruction procedures where interference screw fixation is clinically appropriate. The final implant selection must be determined by a qualified orthopedic surgeon based on patient anatomy, graft type, bone tunnel dimensions, surgical technique, and applicable device instructions.

Proper implant handling is essential. Screws should be protected from contamination, physical damage, and inappropriate handling before implantation. Compatible surgical drivers and instrumentation should be used to support controlled insertion and reduce the risk of implant or instrument damage.

Sterility and processing requirements depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Implant components supplied sterile should remain within their validated sterile packaging until use. Any reusable instrumentation associated with the procedure should be cleaned, inspected, packaged, and sterilized according to validated healthcare-facility procedures and the applicable manufacturer’s instructions.

With 7–10 mm diameter options, 20–35 mm length options, Titanium Grade 5 construction, and a 49-piece selection, this ACL Interference Screw system provides a versatile range of fixation implants for professional orthopedic and sports medicine reconstruction procedures.
