TwinLoop FLEX
Surgical Technique Guide
2. The 12˚ guide is selected. The 12˚ guide is passed
through a minimum of an 8mm cannula, in
conjunction with the Bullet Tip Obturator. If so
desired, the surgeon may place the 12˚ or 25˚ guide
percutaneously with the Trocar Tip Obturator. After
entering the joint space, remove the obturator from
the guide.
Position the tip of the TwinLoop FLEX guide on the
bone such that the fish mouth firmly engages the
bone surface.
Procedure Pearls: Firmly engage the fish mouth
prior to proceeding, and pay careful attention to
preventing guide handle movement.
1. Arthroscopic visualization and documentation
of the labrum is preferred. In the case of a soft
ALPSA or anterior Bankart lesion, the tissue to be
repaired is identified. Prepare the glenoid rim in
the standard fashion.

The TwinLoop FLEX Instrumenation
System boasts five different drill guides,
which allows for a customized solution to
approaching instability repair. All five drill
guides follow the same stepwise process
for use.

The TwinLoop FLEX Instrumentation
System is designed to provide easy access
along the glenoid rim during arthroscopic
instability repair. Paired with Stryker’s
TwinLoop anchors, the flexible
instrumentation is an excellent solution
for surgeons who desire simplification of
instability repair.

4. Place the inserter down the guide and align it with
the prepared pilot hole. The vertical line on the
inserter shaft indicates suture orientation. Manually
seat the anchor in the pilot hole prior to using a
metal mallet to fully insert the anchor. When the
laser mark on the distal end of the TwinLoop FLEX
inserter shaft aligns with the laser mark on the
window of the guide, or the proximal shaft laser
mark aligns with the back end of the guide handle,
a 3mm countersink depth has been achieved.
Procedure Pearls: Be sure to firmly insert the anchor
into the pilot hole by applying force to the inserter
handle with your hand prior to using a mallet to
fully insert the anchor.
Take heed of the importance of the warning on the
IFU for this step: Guide instability may result in
anchor insertion failure. Firmly grip the guide when
using the metal mallet to insert the anchor.
3. Place the flexible drill down the guide to the cortical
surface of the bone. Careful attention must be paid
to stabilizing the guide while advancing the
TwinLoop FLEX Drill. Run the drill in the forward
position until the proximal step is flush with the
drill guide handle.
Procedure Pearls: Transfer the TwinLoop FLEX
inserter assembly into the surgical field using sterile
technique prior to drilling the pilot hole.
Procedure Pearls: Make sure to minimize changes
to the angle of the guide shaft in any plane. It may
be beneficial to have a surgical assistant operate
the drill while the surgeon stabilizes the guide or
vise versa.
Once the pilot hole is created, do not allow the fish
mouth to move with respect to the bone surface, or
the angle of the guide shaft to be changed.

5. Unwind and disengage the suture strands from the
TwinLoop FLEX inserter. Remove the inserter by
pulling it straight out along the TwinLoop FLEX
guide handle. Avoid twisting the inserter during
removal. The sutures will pass through the inserter.
Discard the inserter, and remove the guide.
Procedure Pearls: While unwrapping the suture,
maintain the stability of the guide and inserter.
Make sure that the sutures do not remain engaged
in the inserter handle cleat during inserter removal.
This will help ensure that the sutures remain
threaded in the anchor and do not inadvertently
pull out with the inserter.

6. The security of the anchor in bone may now be
confirmed. The TwinLoop anchor allows for suture
sliding and static knot tying to secure the tissue to
its bone bed. Additional Twin Loop Anchors, using
the flexible drill system, are implanted as necessary
to complete the repair.
