    摘要: Disclosed herein is a kit for augmenting a primary repair construct in an articulating joint. The kit includes a flexible member, a first implant that fixes a first end of the flexible member in a first bone adjacent to the primary repair construct and a second implant that may selectively couple to the flexible member, and thereby fix a second end of the flexible member in a second bone adjacent to the primary repair construct. The kit also includes a tension adjusting construct that may operatively couple to the flexible member and controllable adjust a tension on the flexible member disposed between the first and second implant, the tension adjustable so as to define an angle of joint articulation at which the flexible member changes from being passive to augment the primary repair construct.

    摘要: Patient-specific devices are formed from electronic image data taken preoperatively from a patient and used to create a 3-D model of the patient's knee joint. The anatomic location of the anatomic insertion points of the ACL, and hence the anatomic location of a bone tunnel for housing a ligament graft, are then identified on the 3-D model. The anatomic location of the ACL footprint is used to create a 3-D-printed template with apertures corresponding to the footprint of the ACL (or its bundles). The template can be attached to a reusable handle of an existing drill guide for drilling the bone tunnel corresponding to the footprint of the ACL. In other examples, the anatomic location of the ACL footprint is registered and mapped onto a real-time computer display of the patient's bone during the ligament reconstruction.

    摘要: An adjustable fixation system for coupling a tissue or graft to bone is disclosed including a suture construct including a first limb, a second limb and a body therebetween. The body is continuously braided with the first and second limbs and has a longitudinal passage therethrough. The first and second limbs define a braided portion including a braided core. The suture construct is configured to form at least one adjustable loop formed by passing the first limb between braids of the suture construct, along the longitudinal passage and back out between braids of the adjustable suture construct. Tension on at least one of the first or second limbs reduces a diameter of the longitudinal passage around a length of the first limb and thereby the braided core disposed along the body longitudinal passage and knotlessly locks the adjustable loop.
