Graft Pulley And Methods Of Use
US Patent:
8449612, May 28, 2013
Filed:
Nov 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/619167
Inventors:
George Delli-Santi - Austin TX, US
Alan W. Wolf - Kodiak AK, US
Alan W. Wolf - Kodiak AK, US
Assignee:
ArthroCare Corporation - Austin TX
International Classification:
A61F 2/08
US Classification:
623 1313
Abstract:
A placement assembly used for positioning and holding a ligament graft within a selected bone tunnel. The assembly includes a graft pulley, a surgical suture, and a graft pulley placement instrument. The graft pulley includes a pulley portion and a bone anchoring portion. The pulley portion is adapted to receive the surgical suture and for surgical suture to be drawn through it, to act as a pulley. The bone anchoring portion comprises at least one flexible wing that is adapted to selectively fix the graft pulley within a bone tunnel. At least one wing is adapted to flex during insertion into a bone tunnel and then resist flex and thereby resist movement back out of the tunnel and hence wedge itself within the tunnel. The graft instrument may be selectively attached to the graft pulley and includes a handle and elongate body, adapted to insert the graft pulley into the selected bone tunnel. Once the graft pulley is in place, the placement instrument may then be detached and withdrawn leaving the graft pulley firmly fixed within the bone tunnel and can then be used to position a ligament graft.
