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 sutures through feel alone. You don't need to see the tip. It's orientation is identified from the drive hub. Sutures up to 5 Ticron are easily accommodated. Besides retrieval, sutures can be pushed and released, all without "threading".
With it's 80mm reach, the posteromedial tibia can be accessed also. Transosseous suturing becomes a breeze and a single step process. It is supplied sterile for single case use.
In >1000 primary consecutive Total Hip Replacements via the posterior approach, done by myself, there has been a 0% dislocation rate with no special precautions post-operatively.
A number 2 Fibrewire suture has been utilised to achieve this. Rehabilitation of these patients is faster, discharge home in 3.8 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.
