Advantages:

-Minimal bone removal to preserve radial tuberosity prominence and cam effect for supination enhancement
-Low-profile implant and instrumentation to allow low (anatomic footprint) anchor placement
-FiberLoop w/FiberTag suturing is stronger than "tension-slide" whipstitching
-Onlay and inlay soft tissue fixation show equivocal soft tissue-bone healing characteristics
-Retensionable fixation for maximal final fixation security after stress testing
-No drilling and no cortical button placement near posterior interosseous nerve - minimized nerve injury risk
