Backup Device for Arthroscopic Knot Pusher Using Grasper

Abstract

Secure knot tying is required in arthroscopic surgery for maintaining repair integrity; however, an absence of knot pushers can present significant problems. Our article explores the use of graspers as an alternative for knot tying in arthroscopic surgery. We describe how graspers can be effectively used to secure knots in the absence of a knot pusher. This technique achieves secure fixation without compromising repair quality. These findings suggest that graspers can serve as a safe and feasible alternative to knot pushers when traditional instruments are unavailable.
