Embodiment Construction

[0080] The present invention relates to surgical anchors generally used to anchor surgical attachment elements to bone during surgery. The surgical attachment element can be a composite implantable tissue attachment device (which may be referred to as a surgical mesh attachment device), sutures, soft tissue (e.g., ruptured host tissue, autograft, allograft graft or xenograft tissue) or other similar element intended to be attached to bone during surgery. In examples where the surgical attachment element is a surgical mesh attachment device or suture, the surgical attachment element may also be attached to a portion of soft tissue. Accordingly, the surgical anchors described herein can be used to secure soft tissue to bone or bone-like structures during surgery.

[0081] Depending on the configuration, the surgical anchors described in this disclosure can be used to controllably adjust the amount of tension on a surgical attachment element during a surgical procedure. For examp...

Abstract

Surgical anchors can be utilized to approximate and hold soft tissue in, at, or near a boney insertion site. In some examples, the surgical anchors include a receiving body and a fixation member such as, for example, a fixation screw. The receiving body may include an elongated connecting member and an aperture defined at a distal end of the elongated connecting member. The aperture may be configured to receive a surgical attachment element. Depending on the configuration, the receiving body may be connected to the fixation member via the elongated connecting member such that the fixation member can move relative to the receiving body. Movement of the fixation member relative to the receiving body may allow a user to control and adjust the amount of tension placed on the surgical attachment element, which may enhance the mechanics of a repair operation.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims priority from the filing date of US Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 198534, filed August 4, 2011; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Surgical repair of damaged soft tissue is a procedure that is performed with increasing frequency. One of the most common methods for repairing soft tissue damage at or near a bony insertion site involves approximating and reattaching the damaged soft tissue to the insertion site. Typically, the suture is attached to the damaged soft tissue at one end and then secured to the insertion site at the other end using a bone tunnel or wire anchor. In some examples, the wire anchor is first engaged with the bone at the soft tissue insertion site, and sutures are then used to approximate and secure the damaged soft tissue. [0004] In practice, ensuring that the wire anchor remains anchored in the correct position and sof...
