TWO-WAY ADJUSTABLE LOOP SUSPENSORY DEVICE FOR FIXATION OF A SOFT TISSUE GRAFT

摘要

Devices for fixation of a soft tissue graft at a surgical site. A suspensory graft fixation device (100) for securing a replacement graft ligament in a bone tunnel includes an elongated anchor member (102) with top (114) and bottom (116) surfaces, and adjacent first (110) and second (112) suture receiving apertures extending from the top surface to the bottom surface thereof. A graft supporting loop element is attached to the anchor member and is formed of a suture (104) having first and second limbs (124, 126). The suture is threaded through the first and second suture receiving apertures such that first and second loops (132, 134) are formed in the suture. The first and second loops extend from the bottom surface, while the first and second limbs extend from the top surface. A splice (136) is formed in the second limb extending from the top surface and the first limb extends through the splice.
