For capsular repair of the hip capsule during posterior approach.
The STAR DRILL drills efficiently through bone, making a 2.4mm hole with a 1.6mm diameter shaft. The tip allows retrieval of TRANSOSSEOUS sutures through feel alone. You don't need to see the tip. Its orientation is identified from the drive hub. Sutures up to size 5 "Ticron" are easily accommodated. Besides retrieval, sutures can be pushed and released, all without "threading". The author uses a single No.2 "Fibre-wire" suture for his hip capsule repair, giving a 6-strand repair (8-strand repair can also be done with the single suture and there has been NO " Postage Stamp" fractures)
With its 80mm reach, the knee ligament avulsions are quickly dealt with. Trans-osseous suturing becomes a breeze and a single step process. It is supplied non-sterile and is recommended for single use. (Do not drill the prosthesis or jam it between the prosthesis and the bone.)
In >1400 primary consecutive Total Hip Replacements via the posterior approach, done by me, there has been a 0% dislocation rate with no special precautions post-operatively.
A number 2 Fibrewire suture has been utilized to achieve this. Rehabilitation of these patients is faster, discharge home in <3 days and many drive at 2 weeks (although not recommended). Gait is close to normal at 5 weeks with no abductor weakness. For a technique brochure or more information, visit Enztec.
Quick, simple and enhances your patient's outcome.
