    摘要: A bone anchor and method for its use in an arthroscopic and open soft tissue surgical procedure to mount a ligament graft, or the like, under tension and at variable lengths in a tunnel section that is formed through a bone or bones. The bone anchor embodiments of the invention each have a body for mounting into and/or adjacent a bone cortex surface in a tunnel section to allow at least one suture or shaft that has been fitted through the bone anchor, and is attached to the ligament graft to be pulled through the bone anchor. The suture or shaft to pass across a movable clamp fitted within the body to move so as to allow the suture or shaft to be pulled freely through the bone anchor distal, but will clamp against the suture or shaft, prohibiting its being pulled back therethrough. A pulling of the suture or shaft through the seated bone anchor applies a tension and sets a required length to a graft whose opposite end is secured, with the clamp locking against a section of that suture or shaft, to maintain that applied tension. Whereafter, the excess suture or shaft can be cut away, permanently mounting the graft.

    摘要: There is presented a suture anchor comprising a head portion and a connector portion. The head portion includes a pointed free end, a cutting flute extending substantially throughout the length of the head portion, and screw threads extending substantially throughout the length of the head portion. The connector portion extends axially from the head portion for releasable connection to an anchor inserter. The connector portion is provided with structure for attachment of a suture thereto. There is further presented a suture anchor inserter for use in combination with the suture anchor in attachment of the anchor to a bone, and a suture anchor length of suture material. There is still further presented a method for anchoring a length of suture to a bone.

    摘要: A driver instrument with dual holding features for use with a combination of a medical staple and movable washer with that are used in a surgical procedure for attaching a ligament, or the like, onto a bone surface. The driver includes a straight body that is preferably cylindrical, is formed of a hard metal and includes a hand engaging central portion. A driver top end is flanged outwardly into flat head end that can be struck, as with a hammer to impart a hammer force therethrough, with the driver lower end portion formed with a threaded portion for turning into a threaded hole formed through a web of the medical staple, and with a spring collet formed with, or connected axially to, the driver lower end portion. Installation of the medical staple and washer onto the driver involves passing the spring collect through the staple web hole ahead of the driver threaded portion, and through a smooth walled hole formed through the movable washer, with a spring collet ring end passing through the washer hole and restricting removal therefrom. The driver that mounts the medical staple and movable washer, is held by a surgeon to position the staple legs onto a bone surface, straddling a ligament, and then is used to seat the staple into which bone by applying a hammer force to the driver head end. Whereafter, the driver threaded portion is turned out of the staple web threaded hole, pulling also the driver spring collet section out of the washer hole.

    摘要: A modular surgical drill in the form of a rigid drill shaft and a drill bit which are connected together at the rear end of the drill bit and the forward end of the drill shaft by a tongue-and-groove arrangement. Each of the shaft and drill bit are provided with through bores extending centrally through their entire length. These bores become aligned upon assembly of the drill bit and shaft. The modular drill is intended to be employed with a guidewire for drilling holes into bone. The assembled drill bit and shaft are placed on the guidewire and moved down such guidewire into contact with the bone, whereupon a tunnel may be formed into the bone by rotating and advancing the drill bit along the guidewire. The dimensions of the bore and guidewire are so selected as to prevent the drill bit and drill shaft from moving relative to one another once they are assembled and mounted upon the guidewire.

    摘要: An anchor driver for mounting a ligament anchor and turning it into a bone, which ligament anchor includes a suture attached to a rear end that is maintained in a driver body until the anchor driver is pulled off of the ligament anchor seated in the bone. The driver body is preferably a rigid straight tube that includes an anchor mount disposed on a forward end whereto the ligament anchor is fitted. So arranged, a suture, that is disposed on the ligament anchor coupling end, will extend therefrom as a suture strand or strands that are fitted through the anchor mount, to pass through the driver body and are then bent to double back upon themselves and fitted back into the driver body. For maintaining the suture strand or stands in a straight attitude, in one embodiment a resilient cap is provided that has a hole or slot formed therein wherethrough the suture strand bend or bends are fitted into a cavity within the cap, which cap is then fitted over the driver body open end. With, in another embodiment, a grommet and thin walled tube are disposed end to end in the driver body wherethrough the suture strand or strands are fitted that are then bent to double back alongside the tube, and are maintained within the driver body, which driver body then receives a cap fitted over an open rear end thereof.
