Which of the following statements is an advantage of the Knotless 1.8 FiberTak®?
• It inserts through straight or curved guides.
• The surgeon can dial in their desired level of tension under direct visualization.

FiberTape® Cerclage System is an all-suture alternative used for circumferential fracture fixation. Which of the following statements about FiberTape® Cerclage is NOT true:
• FiberTape Cerclage is a flat construct with low-profile knot stacks to help minimize tissue irritation.
• Clearly visible on x-ray for enhanced visualization of the construct and fracture healing.
• FiberTape Cerclage suture delivers superior mechanical performance with an ultimate load great than 4300N.
• No sharp metal edges or risk of broken wires that can potentially injure patients or the surgical team.
• Low-profile allows for a fixation plate to fit above or below the cerclage suture.
Clearly visible on x-ray for enhanced visualization of the construct and fracture healing.

Arthrex’s “Biceps Tenotomy Versus Tenodesis Scientific Update” summarized several published studies analyzing tenodesis vs tenotomy. Which of the following statements is true:
• Tenodesis outcomes are always equal or better and never worse than tenotomy.
• There are no statistically significant differences noted in the functional outcome of the shoulder based on Constant scores after tenotomy or tenodesis.
• Supination strength decreases after tenotomy and may increase after tenodesis.
• Tenodesis reduces cosmetic “popeye” deformity.
• All the above are True
All of the above are true
Which of the following statements of about the Self-Punching 2.6 FiberTak® Anchor is true?
• It is currently only available with two sliding 1.3mm SutureTapes.
• It can be used with or without a drill guide.
• The surgeon can still prepare a bone socket with a drill or punch when encountering hard bone.
• Small anchor size can allow for additional anchors in the medial row of a SutureBridge construct, when compared to a Corkscrew.
• All the above are True
All of the above are true

The Rotation Lasso is a suture passer that features a rotating and steerable loop for athroscopic and open soft-tissue repair providing key features and benefits which include all EXCEPT:
• Lasso-style passer helps reduce procedural steps.
• Prevents twists and tangles inside cannulas.
• Eliminates the need for outside suture shuttling.
• 90°, 3.5mm tip
• Deployable, rotatable, shrink-wrapped nitinol shuttle loop for ease of suture retrieval and sliding
90°, 3.5mm tip
True or False: The new FiberTak® Button is preloaded with two 2-0 FiberLink shuttle sutures that allow the surgeon to easily load whipstitch sutures through the button in the familiar “tension-slide” configuration.
True
Which of the following statements is NOT an advantage of FiberWire SutureTape™:
• Round suture with ultimate load to failure
• Increased resistance to tissue pull-through
• Stronger knotted and knotless fixations
• Tighter, smaller knot stacks
• Better handling characteristics, less likely to irritate surgeon hands
Round suture with ultimate load to failure
