Novel technique for passing tendon grafts through bone tunnels

Jeffrey A. Levy, Gerald L. Farber, Kenneth F. Taylor

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Anatomic reconstruction in orthopedic surgery often requires the passage of soft tissue through bone tunnels. Difficulties may arise due to anatomic constraints surrounding the bone tunnels or the graft size. The authors present a novel technique for passing tendon grafts through bone tunnels that is simple, readily available, effective, and comparatively inexpensive.
