Tigth rope button stuck in the femoral tunnel


The white threads of the tight rope accidently got pulled with the button getting stuck in the  femoral tunnel(entirely my mistake) I believe. No amount of traction proximally or distally could dislodge the button as it got jammed in the femoral tunnel( check lateral view above .we got away by using a  suture button at the femoral exit. Has anyone had a similar  problem. Can the tight rope one e shortened be lengthened. . I couldn't  do anything as the button was well fixed in the cancellous bone but could not risk leaving this alone. Hence the suture button . Any comments or advise please
