The frozen Semi-T (Semitendinosus) Double Strand Tendon provides surgeons with the ability to reconstruct a torn ligament – the Semitendinosus in particular, is commonly used for ankle stabilisation.
A very common occurrence for patients who have suffered a traumatic ligament tear is to experience laxity, which can heavily impede on their ability to remain active. The unique nature of using a frozen double strand tendon during reconstruction of cruciate ligaments, can help considerably with repairing and stabilising the ligament, and is why the double strand is so effective in the reconstruction of torn ligaments.
There are numerous benefits of using our Frozen Semi-T Double Strand Tendons for reconstruction surgery, in particular, eliminating the need of harvesting autograft, thus removing additional pain and surgical scars, as well as providing the surgeon with the best fixation technique – to name a few.
