• The flexible pin, thanks to its shape memory alloy construction, can navigate through curved guides or offset portals, bending as needed inside the joint and then returning to a straighter configuration as it exits, providing a stable track over which to pass the flexible reamer. The trocar‑style tip is meant to ease penetration through bone/cortical surfaces when creating the start point.
• Because it is designed to work with the flexible reamer shaft and AM‑guides (or other portal / aiming tools), the guide pin helps maintain the intended trajectory and helps protect cartilage, posterior wall, and other delicate anatomy. It supports precise positioning of the reamer and therefore more reproducible tunnel placement.
• On the other hand, because the pin is flexible (and small in cross section compared to rigid guide pins), there are trade‑offs: it is more susceptible to bending or wobble if not properly supported, or if the guide mechanism is loose. Also, stressing the pin by trying to force a reamer or failing to maintain alignment can lead to fatigue or even breakage. Indeed, there are adverse event reports of the pin fracturing inside bone (e.g. in MAUDE: a report of a VersiTomic ACL flexible guide pin (#234‑108‑200) breaking inside the patient during surgery).
