OATS Technique for Restoration of a Femoral Condyle OCD Using the Single-Use OATS Instruments. Robert Hunter, MD, (Salida, CO) provides a cadaveric demonstration of the OATS^®technique and how to address lesions where more than one osteochondral core is needed.

The patella SuturePlate II (3 mm system) can be used to address various types of patella fractures. The system is made of titanium and offers 3 plating options, each in various sizes. The angular-stable locking plates are fixed with unidirectional 3 mm titanium locking screws and have a low-profile thickness of 1.6 mm. The suture holes can be used for soft-tissue attachment.

Karl-Heinz Frosch, MD (Hamburg, Germany) demonstrates technical pearls for the treatment of patella fractures with the Patella SuturePlate™.

GraftLink ACL Reconstruction Using TightRope^® II Implant for the InternalBrace™ Technique. Patrick A. Smith, MD (Columbia, MO), demonstrates the GraftLink^® technique using a TightRope II RT implant with FiberTape suture for InternalBrace™ technique. ^{The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.}

The BioComposite SwiveLock^® implant kits were developed for reconstruction of the MPFL in cases of acute patellar dislocation or chronic patellofemoral instability. Providing surgeons and operative staff with a complete, convenient solution for MPFL reconstruction procedures, the kits include either a 6 mm × 23 mm BioComposite FastThread™ interference screw or an ACL TightRope^® implant for femoral fixation.
