Arthrex AR-1800-07 Transportal ACL Guide 7mm Offset Arthroscopy 9"
• Model: AR-1800-07
• Tip Offset: 7mm
• Overall Length: 9 inches
The AR-1800-07 Transportal ACL Guide by Arthrex is engineered for surgeons performing anatomical ACL reconstruction using the anteromedial portal (transportal) technique, offering a fixed 7 mm offset to optimize femoral tunnel placement. The 7 mm offset allows the guide to position the drill or pin slightly lateral to the tunnel centreline, enabling better access to the native ACL femoral footprint while still preserving the posterior femoral wall. This is particularly beneficial when aiming for anatomic reconstruction and when patient anatomy or knee flexion angle requires a more lateral starting point.
In practical operation, the surgeon inserts the guide via the anteromedial portal and positions the tip against the femoral condyle at the desired location. With the knee often flexed beyond 110°, the guide directs a cannulated pin or reamer through the femur according to the selected trajectory. The fixed 7 mm offset provides reproducibility and helps in avoiding blow-out of the posterior wall, while facilitating optimal graft placement and preservation of bone integrity. It is typically used in tandem with Arthrex’s RetroButton, TightRope or other femoral fixation devices.
From an instrumentation workflow perspective, the AR-1800-07 contributes to efficient surgical technique by standardizing tunnel location and simplifying decision-making for femoral access. Because transportal techniques afford more flexibility than transtibial methods, using a guide with known offset helps maintain consistency across cases. Moreover, inclusion of the AR-1800-07 in the ACL ToolBox set (alongside the 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm offset versions) allows the surgical team to tailor the offset to patient anatomy or surgical plan. Proper handling, cleaning, sterilization and alignment are crucial to achieve the desired anatomical placement and to optimize graft function and long-term joint stability.
These surgical instruments have been previously used and show visible signs of wear consistent with their prior usage. Despite these signs, they remain in a usable condition, suitable for continued medical procedures.
