Arthrex | Bio-Tenodesis Screw | BioComposite Fixation | 9 mm x 23 mm | AR-1590BC

The Arthrex AR-1590BC is a high-performance orthopedic fixation screw designed for the structural reattachment and tenodesis of tendons or ligaments to bone. Featuring a 9 mm thread diameter and a 23 mm linear length profile, this implant utilizes Arthrex's proprietary BioComposite material technology. The BioComposite matrix is engineered to provide immediate mechanical stabilization at the repair site while transitioning to a bioabsorbable scaffold that supports progressive bony ingrowth over time.

The screw is cannulated to allow smooth delivery over a guide wire, enabling precise positioning and controlled compression to maximize tendon-to-bone contact within the pre-drilled bone socket.
