Abstract

A device having an implantable body associated with at least two filaments or sutures and configured for use in soft tissue reconstructions is provided. One exemplary embodiment includes an implantable body 10 , an adjustable filament loop 42 for holding ligament grafts that is coupled to the body, and a shuttle suture 60 removably coupled to the implantable body and configured for shuttling the body through at least a portion of a bone tunnel. The loop can be defined by a self-locking knot, and one or more loop-adjusting limbs 52 / 54 can extend from the knot 46, with a portion of the limb(s) also extending into a hollow portion 66 / 68 of the shuttle suture. In some embodiments having two adjustable limbs, an intermediate portion of each limb can be the portions disposed in respective hollow portions of the shuttle suture. Other configurations of devices and systems, as well as methods for performing ACL repairs, are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for securing soft tissue to bone, and more particularly, the present disclosure relates to securing an ACL graft to the femur. Background technique [0002] Joint injuries often result in complete or partial separation of ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues from bone. Tissue dissociation can occur in a variety of ways, for example, as a result of an accidental fall, overexertion, etc., during a work-related activity, during a sporting competition, or in any of a number of other situations and / or activities Tissue separation occurs. These types of injuries are usually caused by excessive stress or force placed on the tissue. [0003] In the case of a partial detachment (often denoted by the generic term "sprain"), the injury usually heals without medical intervention, with the patient resting and taking care that the injury is not subjected to excessive strenuous activity while the heali...
