Medacta Introduces a Simplified Approach for the M-ARS ACL Technique at the AGA Congress 2024, Mimicking the Native Ligament Footprint with an Optimized Surgical Flow
CASTEL SAN PIETRO, September 12, 2024 - Medacta Group SA ("Medacta," SIX:MOVE), announces the introduction of a simplified approach for its M-ARS (Medacta - Anatomic Ribbon Surgery) ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) technique at the AGA Congress 2024 in Zürich, Switzerland. The M-ARS technique offers a more natural approach to ACL reconstruction than traditional round-graft-tunnel single-bundle techniques. It is designed to optimize knee biomechanics and enhance graft healing following ACL reconstruction, mimicking the native footprint by using a flat graft to enhance stress distribution and biological healing at the insertion site, potentially improving patient outcomes in terms of recovery time and return to an active lifestyle.
“Medacta's new simplified approach for M-ARS ACL offers multiple advantages: it streamlines the creation of flat graft tunnels, making the surgical procedure more efficient and easier to perform, and it preserves the M-ARS philosophy of natural ACL reconstruction,” explains Prof. Dr. Fink, Austria.
"I prefer the simplified approach for the M-ARS ACL Reconstruction system in combination with the MectaQTH minimally invasive quad-tendon harvesting system. This provides me with a wide range of devices to perform personalized primary and revision ACL reconstruction, as well as multi-ligament reconstruction," says Prof. Dr. Herbort, Germany.
Medacta's Sports Medicine knee platform offers surgeons a comprehensive range of surgical approaches to improve personalized medicine for primary, revision, and multi-ligament reconstruction. The platform includes innovative devices, techniques, and education programs to support surgeons in achieving optimal patient outcomes.
Medacta's M.O.R.E. Medical education program provides surgeons easy access to globally renowned reference centers and wet lab training. This program helps to accelerate the transition to arthroscopic natural anatomy knee reconstruction with the Sports Medicine knee platform.
