Produced for DePuy Mitek in 2007, this commercial was displayed during the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in order to promote their ACL Reconstruction product, the MILAGRO™ Absorbable Interference Screw, as well as enhance awareness of the sports medicine continuum of care.

This surgical animation depicts an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL reconstruction) of the knee, which utilizes a tendon graft replacement to aid in anatomic restoration after an injury. The torn ligament is arthroscopically removed from the knee, and then replaced with a graft harvested from the patellar tendon. The graft is passed through bone tunnels drilled in the femur and tibia, then secured with interference screws.
