    摘要: The disclosure provides examples of an open architecture anchor for securing soft tissue to bone, for example, to repair a torn rotor cuff. The anchor includes a helical screw thread having a base and two sidewalls that are non-linear. The non-linear sidewalls extend from opposing ends of the base and meet at a peak. The non-linear sidewalls are circumscribed within a triangle defined by the peak and ends of the base. Compared to the standard triangle profile, the helical screw thread profile has a smaller cross-sectional surface area and, consequently, removes less bone. The helical screw thread having the reduced cross-sectional area preserves bone stock and enhances the holding strength of the anchor in bone.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for bone fracture repair. The apparatus may include a structural support for positioning a first bone segment relative to a second bone segment. The apparatus may include an anchoring substrate. The anchoring substrate may be configured to compress the first bone segment to the second bone segment. The anchoring substrate may transmit tension from a distal bone segment anchor in the first bone segment to a proximal bone segment anchor in the second bone segment. The apparatus may be configured to be deployed percutaneously in an inner cavity of a bone. The apparatus may be installed in an open fracture. The apparatus may be expanded, self-expanding or configured for mechanically actuation. Some embodiments of the apparatus may include a central axis member that may be used in conjunction with expansion of one or both of the structural support and the anchoring substrate to configure the apparatus.

    摘要: A surgical fastener (10) for delivering into body tissue during a surgical procedure is disclosed. The surgical fastener (10) includes a continuous helical coil (40) having a proximal end and a distal end (21). The continuous helical coil (40) has a cross-section with at least five sides. A first helical coil section (42) is located at the distal end (21). A tapered point (22) extends from the first helical coil (42). A central passage (30) that passes through the center of the fastener (10) has a non-circular shape. The central passage (30) defines a longitudinal axis ("X"). The continuous helical coil (40) has a profile transverse to the longitudinal axis ("X"). The profile is non-circular. A tail (60) is located at the proximal end of the continuous helical coil (40).
