ACL & PCL Reconstruction Instrument Set Overview for Sports Medicine Surgery
What Is an ACL & PCL Instrument Set for Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
The ACL & PCL Reconstruction Instrument Set is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument system designed to support arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction procedures.
It provides surgeons with standardized tools for tunnel positioning, drilling, graft preparation, and graft passage during minimally invasive knee ligament surgery.
This instrument set is widely used in sports medicine, trauma-related ligament injury treatment, and revision ligament reconstruction surgeries.
Role of Specialized Instruments in Ligament Reconstruction Accuracy
Precise tunnel placement and controlled graft handling are critical factors for successful ACL and PCL reconstruction outcomes.
Dedicated ligament reconstruction instruments help reduce variability, improve anatomical accuracy, and enhance reproducibility across different surgeons and clinical settings.
Clinical Indications for ACL and PCL Ligament Reconstruction Procedures
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury and Reconstruction Indications
The instrument set is indicated for patients with complete or partial ACL rupture caused by sports injuries, occupational trauma, or degenerative instability.
ACL reconstruction is commonly performed to restore knee stability, rotational control, and functional performance.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injury and Surgical Scenarios
PCL injuries may result from direct trauma, high-energy accidents, or combined ligament injuries.
The ACL & PCL instrument set supports anatomical PCL reconstruction by enabling accurate posterior tunnel creation and secure graft passage.
Primary and Revision Knee Ligament Reconstruction Cases
The system is suitable for both primary ligament reconstruction and revision surgeries, where precise tunnel re-positioning and controlled drilling are especially important.
Arthroscopic Knee Ligament Surgery Applications and Use Scenarios
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Centers
The instrument set is commonly used in specialized sports medicine centers performing high volumes of arthroscopic ACL and PCL reconstruction procedures.
Orthopedic Hospitals and Trauma Treatment Facilities
Orthopedic hospitals and trauma centers utilize the system for ligament injuries associated with fractures, multi-ligament knee injuries, and post-traumatic instability.
High-Volume ACL / PCL Reconstruction Programs
The standardized configuration supports efficiency and consistency in high-volume surgical programs.
Comprehensive Instrument Configuration for ACL & PCL Reconstruction
Femoral and Tibial Tunnel Positioning Instruments
The system includes calibrated femoral and tibial drill guides designed to assist accurate anatomical tunnel positioning during ACL and PCL reconstruction.
Cannulated Drilling and Guide Wire System
Cannulated drills and guide wires allow controlled drilling along predefined trajectories, reducing the risk of tunnel deviation.
Graft Preparation and Passage Instruments
Dedicated graft preparation and passing instruments support smooth graft handling, passage, and positioning within the knee joint.
Measurement, Depth Control, and Alignment Tools
Depth gauges and measuring instruments help surgeons control tunnel length and ensure proper graft tensioning.
Design Features Supporting Accurate Tunnel Creation and Graft Fixation
Anatomical Drill Guides for Precise Tunnel Placement
Anatomically contoured drill guides are designed to align with knee joint anatomy, supporting reproducible tunnel placement.
Cannulated Instrument Design for Controlled Arthroscopic Drilling
The cannulated design ensures accurate guidance during drilling while maintaining minimally invasive arthroscopic access.
Laser Markings and Visual Depth Reference System
Clear laser markings on instruments provide visual reference for depth and alignment during surgery.
Ergonomic Design for Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery
Ergonomic handles and balanced instrument design enhance surgeon control and reduce fatigue during arthroscopic procedures.
Compatibility with ACL / PCL Grafts and Fixation Systems
Compatibility with Hamstring and BPTB Grafts
The instrument set is compatible with commonly used graft types, including hamstring tendon grafts and bone–patellar tendon–bone (BPTB) grafts.
Use with Interference Screws and Suspension Fixation Devices
It supports integration with interference screws, cortical buttons, and suspension fixation systems.
Integration with Existing Sports Medicine Implant Systems
The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing sports medicine implant portfolios.
Standardized Surgical Workflow for Arthroscopic ACL & PCL Reconstruction
Portal Establishment and Arthroscopic Joint Assessment
The procedure begins with arthroscopic portal establishment and comprehensive joint assessment.
Anatomical Tunnel Creation and Measurement Process
Using calibrated guides, surgeons create femoral and tibial tunnels with controlled depth and orientation.
Graft Passage, Tensioning, and Fixation Workflow
The graft is passed, tensioned, and fixed using compatible fixation implants to restore knee stability.

Q3：Can the ACL & PCL Instrument Set Be Customized for OEM Projects
Yes, OEM customization and branding services are available.
Q4：Is the Instrument Set Reusable and Sterilizable
Yes, the instruments are reusable and designed for repeated sterilization.
Q5：How long does it take to recover from ACL or PCL surgery? Recovery time can vary
depending on the severity of the injury and the type of surgery performed. In general, it can take several months to a year to fully recover from ACL or PCL surgery.
Q6：What are the potential complications of ACL or PCL surgery?
Potential complications of ACL or PCL surgery include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and blood clots. However, with proper care and follow-up, these complications can be minimized.
Q7：Can an ACL or PCL injury be prevented?
While it may not be possible to prevent all ACL or PCL injuries, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk, such as warming up properly before exercise, using proper technique during physical activity, and wearing appropriate protective gear.
Q8：Is an ACL or PCL injury always treated with surgery?
Not all ACL or PCL injuries require surgery. Minor injuries may be treated with physical therapy or other non-surgical methods. However, more severe injuries may require surgical intervention.
Q9：Can an ACL + PCL instrument set be used in other types of knee surgeries?
While an ACL + PCL instrument set is specifically designed for ACL and PCL surgeries, some of the instruments may be used in other types of knee surgeries as well, such as meniscal repairs or reconstructions.
