Concave Button

The Concave Button is a specialized suspensory fixation device engineered for femoral and tibial graft stabilization. Unlike traditional flat buttons, the Concave Button features a unique Anatomical Curved Underside designed to mirror the natural convexity of the bone cortex. This geometric optimization ensures a more stable "seating" on the bone surface, significantly reducing the risk of button rocking or migration. Manufactured from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), it provides exceptional biocompatibility and a high strength-to-weight ratio. The button includes precision-machined suture eyelets that allow for smooth sliding of high-strength UHMWPE loops. Its low-profile design is specifically intended to minimize "palpable hardware" under the skin, a common patient complaint in thin-tissue areas. Whether used for ACL, PCL, or distal bicep repairs, the TOOLMED Concave Button provides the mechanical security needed for successful orthopedic reconstruction.

Product Description

Concave Button Overview


Concave Button Features and Benefits

·Anatomical Cortical Fit

The concave geometry is designed to match the bone's outer curve. This maximizes the contact area between the button and the cortex, providing superior stability compared to flat designs.

·Low-Profile Geometry

With its ultra-slim profile and curved edges, this button minimizes soft tissue irritation. It is particularly beneficial for procedures on the distal femur or proximal tibia where the skin is close to the bone.

·Radiolucent Alignment

The high-purity titanium allows for clear visibility on post-operative X-rays, enabling surgeons to confirm the "toggled" position and seat of the button on the bone surface.


Concave Button Indications

·Shoulder Arthroscopy

Used in coracoclavicular (CC) ligament stabilization and distal clavicle repairs where a low-profile footprint is necessary to prevent skin tenting.

·Hip Arthroscopy

Utilized in specialized pelvic and acetabular ligament reconstructions requiring high-load suspensory fixation points.

·Knee & Small Joint

Primarily indicated for femoral and tibial fixation in ACL/PCL reconstruction. It is also highly effective for syndesmosis stabilization and distal bicep tendon reattachment.

Concave Button Insights


What is a Concave Button?

The Concave Button is a small, titanium anchor used to hold ligaments or tendons in place. "Concave" means the bottom of the button is curved inward. This allows it to wrap slightly around the bone, sitting much flatter and more securely than a standard flat button.


Applications of Concave Button

It is used whenever a "suspension" technique is needed in surgery. This is most common in ACL Reconstruction, where the button sits on the outside of the bone to hold the new tendon in place. It is also used in the ankle and shoulder to stabilize bones that have been separated due to injury.


Advantages of Concave Button

The main advantage is Comfort and Stability. Because it fits the curve of the bone, it is less likely to move or "wiggle" after surgery. Its thin design means patients are less likely to feel a "bump" under their skin, which is a major benefit for active patients and athletes.


Biomechanics of Concave Button

Biomechanically, the concave design optimizes Stress Distribution. A flat button on a curved bone creates a single "point-load" ($P=F/A$). By matching the curvature, the Concave Button increases the contact area ($A$), which lowers the pressure on the bone cortex. This prevents the button from "sinking" into the bone over time (a process called subsidence) and ensures the graft maintains its tension.


Surgical Technique of Concave Button

The surgeon drills a small tunnel through the bone. The button is pulled through the tunnel using leading sutures while in a vertical position. Once it exits the other side, the surgeon pulls back, causing the button to "flip" or toggle. The concave side is then seated firmly against the bone surface, providing a permanent anchor for the repair.


Postoperative Care of Concave Button

The Concave Button is a permanent implant made of titanium, so it does not need to be removed. Patients can proceed with standard rehabilitation. The high stability of the button often allows for Early Weight-Bearing in knee surgeries, as the fixation is mechanically strong enough to handle initial movements without slipping.


Conclusion

The Concave Button is an essential tool for surgeons who prioritize anatomical fit and patient comfort. By combining high-strength titanium with a bone-friendly geometry, it provides the most secure and low-profile fixation available for modern ligament reconstruction.


FAQs of Concave Button


Can I feel the button under my skin after surgery?

While everyone's anatomy is different, the Concave Button's low-profile and curved design is specifically engineered to be as unnoticeable as possible compared to standard flat buttons.


Is the button MRI safe?

Yes. The button is made of high-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), which is non-magnetic and 100% MRI-compatible.


Does the button ever need to be removed?

No. These are designed to be permanent implants. Removal is only necessary in very rare cases of infection or if a secondary surgery is required.


How strong is the button?

The TOOLMED Concave Button can withstand forces exceeding 1000 Newtons, which is far beyond the typical stress placed on a joint during the healing process.


What is the benefit of the concave shape over a flat one?

The concave shape prevents the button from "rocking" on the bone. This increased stability leads to more consistent graft tension and reduces the risk of the button shifting over time.
