Sklar ACL/PCL Handle, Orthopedic
An orthopaedic handle used as part of a guide system during ACL or PCL ligament reconstruction surgery on the knee.
The Sklar ACL/PCL Handle is a component of an orthopaedic guide system used during anterior cruciate ligament or posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery on the knee, providing the grip through which the surgeon controls the aiming and positioning of the associated guide tip during tunnel placement.
Guide systems for ACL and PCL reconstruction combine a handle like this with an aiming or bullet component to direct drilling to a precise, planned location on the femur or tibia, since accurate tunnel placement is central to how well the reconstructed ligament will function once healed. The handle allows the surgeon to hold the assembly steady and adjust its angle under fluoroscopic or arthroscopic guidance before the drill is advanced.
Orthopaedic surgical teams keep this handle as part of the broader ACL/PCL instrument tray, used together with matching bullet and aiming pieces from the same system. As a reusable stainless instrument, it is sterilised between cases along with the rest of the set.
