Arthrex Graftlink™
Arthrex Graftlink™ is a system optimized for minimally invasive surgery. It uses special reverse, flip-cutting drills that can create easily directed tunnels in the tibia and femur and cortical button and suture fixation through small poke-hole type incisions.
All of this can occur with arthroscopic guidance. The system can be used with either autograft or allograft tissue. This system allows for strong fixation, with easily oriented tunnels, with a minimal need for incision size.
