Sterile Nylon Leader Line Also useful for other ligament replacement procedures, e.g. hip toggle, collateral ligament repair.

Fabella (Cruciate) Needles Most surgeons use our sterile procedure packs which include swaged on needle and appropriate crimps. Some surgeons prefer to use non swaged on needles although do bear in mind that leader line passed through a regular needle creates more damage as it passes through the femoro fabella ligament. It is this ligament which is relied on for the holding power of the suture. Cruciate needles will pass through a hole created with a 2.7mm bone tunnel borer into the tibial crest.

If a patient is above their ideal bodyweight, is particularly boisterous, or if there are concerns about post-operative compliance, a surgeon may chose to go up a size at their own discretion. Which line should I choose?
