    摘要: Systems and methods for preparing a ligament graft for a ligament reconstruction procedure are provided. The described techniques utilize a graft preparation system (200) having a holder (202) and a delivery suture assembly (204) removably coupled thereto. The delivery suture assembly includes a spine (206) coupled with an anchor suture (208) configured to form a self-tightening knot used to position the assembly around a graft and a plurality of suture windings (210) configured to be affixed to the graft when the assembly is deployed. The assembly is delivered to the graft using the holder and the sutures can be affixed to the graft without penetrating therethrough. The spine helps to evenly distribute the load among the windings compressing the graft which are thus are capable of withstanding increased loads.

    摘要: A variety of configurations of implant management devices are provided. The configurations provide different combinations of features for maintaining a location of an implant with respect to the device and managing filaments of the implant. One exemplary embodiment of a device includes a generally rectangular-shaped body having an implantable body retainer, an opening disposed a distance apart from the retainer and configured to receive a ligament graft therein, and a fold extending across the body and intersecting the opening. Folding one end of the body towards a bottom surface of the body along the fold can form a filament loop engaging region to hold in tension a filament loop extending from the implant. Additional filament(s) associated with the implant can be managed by various filament retention features. Methods for preparing a ligament graft for implantation by relying upon indicia formed on a surface of the device body are also provided.

    摘要: A bone anchor assembly, comprising: a bone anchor having a proximal head and a distal bone engaging portion; and a receiving member having a proximal end having a first bore, a distal end opposite the proximal end and having a second bore, and a recess for receiving a spinal fixation element in communication with the first bore, the second bore being sized to receive the head of the bone anchor, the receiving member having a substantially U-shaped cross-section defined by two legs separated by the recess, each leg being free at the proximal end of the receiving member, wherein a first groove is formed on an exterior surface of the proximal end of a first one of the legs and a second groove is formed on an exterior surface of the proximal end of a second one of the legs, the first groove having a proximal surface and a distal surface opposite the proximal surface and the second groove having a proximal surface and a distal surface opposite the proximal surface, the proximal surface of the first groove and the proximal surface of the second groove each being oriented at an angle between approximately 5 degrees and approximately 30 degrees relative to a line that is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the receiving member, wherein the proximal surface of the first groove and the distal surface of the first groove, and the proximal surface of the second groove and the distal surface of the second groove, are each angled in the direction of the distal end of the receiving member.

    摘要: A device having one or more adjustable loops or coils associated with an implant body for use in soft tissue reconstructions is provided. One exemplary embodiment of a device includes a body and a suture filament, with the filament being used to form a self-locking sliding knot disposed on a top side of the body and a plurality of adjustable coils that are substantially disposed on the body's bottom side. Terminal ends of the filament located above the body's top side can be passed through an opening of a Lark's Head knot from opposite sides, thus forming a self-locking sliding knot, and then the terminal ends can be tensioned to adjust a circumference of the coils. Changing a coil's circumference changes a location of a ligament graft disposed on the coil. Other configurations of devices and systems, as well as methods for performing ACL repairs, are also provided.

    摘要: Connectors are disclosed herein that can be used to attach a rod to a bone anchor assembly that is already occupied by a separate rod. Various ways of attaching the connector to the bone anchor assembly are disclosed, including arrangements in which the connector is locked to the bone anchor, arrangements in which the connector is constrained in one or more degrees of freedom relative to the bone anchor, arrangements in which the connector is adjustable in one or more degrees of freedom relative to the bone anchor, and arrangements that include a spherical articulation joint. In some embodiments, attachment of the connector to a bone anchor can be aided with the use of a positioner. The geometry of the connector can be selected to minimize the offset between a first rod received in the bone anchor assembly and a second rod received in the connector, for example using an angled or curved rod recess and/or a fastener, or set screw, that is offset from the center of the rod or angled relative to the bone anchor. The connector can be configured to align the first and second rods in a common coronal plane, or can be configured to position one rod more anterior or posterior than the other rod.
