Step 8
Feed the sutures of the tendon bundles through the
retrieval suture loop. Shuttle the tails of the AL and
PM bundles through the tibial tunnel by pulling gently
on the suture loop from the tibial tunnel end.
Note:
Care should be taken to allow the sutures to
pass through the AL portal first and exit the tibial
tunnel prior to allowing the grafts to pass into the
knee.
Step 9
Place a probe or hemostats between the tendons and
the knee to maintain tension on the grafts as they
begin to enter the lateral portal. Once the graft ends
have been pulled in, release tension and allow the
AL and PL bundles to pass through the tibial tunnel
independently (Figure 12).

Step 5
With the Inserter Handle held firmly in place, rotate
the white implant deployment knob clockwise until
the deployment knob can no longer be turned and
comes into contact with the purple handle (Figure 10).
Step 6
Disengage the tendon sutures from the suture cleats.
Step 7
Release the Inserter Handle from the implant by
pulling back on the Implant Release Knob. Remove the
Inserter Handle from the operating site and discard
(Figure 11).
