Procedure

Tears of the gluteus medius tendon are a common source of lateral hip pain and a cause of greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). Gluteus medius tendons are sometimes referred to as the “rotator cuff of the hip.” Partial and full-thickness tears can be repaired in an open or endoscopic fashion with techniques similar to those used in shoulder surgery.

The translucent Twist-In cannula allows direct arthroscopic visualization of instruments and suture passing through the cannula. Arthroscopic knot tying is simplified since twisted and tangled sutures can be observed and corrected in real time. The flexible option easily conforms to large or curved instruments. Each cannula is supplied with a no-squirt cap and disposable obturator. The threaded design greatly inhibits cannula fallout during instrument removal and allows for capsule retraction for visualization. The side port can be used for irrigation inflow or passive outflow.

The translucent Twist-In Cannula allows direct arthroscopic visualization of instruments through the cannula. The flexible option easily conforms to large or curved instruments. Each cannula is supplied with a “No-Squirt” Cap and disposable obturator. The threaded design greatly inhibits cannula “fall-out” during instrument removal and allows for capsule retraction for visualization. The side port may be used for irrigation inflow or passive outflow.

Elbow

The Twist-In, Partially Threaded Cannulas are manufactured from a clear polycarbonate material that allows uninhibited visualization of instruments and sutures through the cannula walls which helps the surgeon prevent suture entanglement and will allow visualization of arthroscopic knots as they are delivered down the cannula. The cannula has threads only on the distal section of the cannula, allowing the surgeon to quickly adjust the working length of the cannula without having to screw or unscrew the entire length of the cannula.
