Leading fixation strength: Q-FIX◊ anchors, including the Q-FIX KNOTLESS version, provide the highest fixation strength compared to similar single-loaded anchors made exclusively of sutures in a 30 PCF bone block.

Consistent installation: Active installation of the Q-FIX◊ anchor technology ensures an internal anchor tension of at least 140 N, which optimises the performance of the implant and contributes to high failure resistance.

Extremely low movement: Q-FIX◊ anchors have the lowest displacement during cyclic loading among competing seam-only anchors, ensuring fastening stability.

Improved access: The Q-FIX◊ anchors provide improved access to the complex anatomy of the hip using a curved drill guide that includes intuitive visual and tactile indicators.
