Graft Fixation Using A Plug Against Suture

US Patent:

2004009, May 13, 2004

Filed:

Apr 3, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/405707

Inventors:

Stephen Burkhart - San Antonio TX, US
Peter Dreyfuss - Naples FL, US
Neal ElAttrache - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A61B017/04

US Classification:

606/232000

Abstract:

A method for securing soft tissue to bone which does not require the surgeon to tie suture knots to secure the tissue to the bone. A pilot hole or socket is created in the bone at the location that the graft is to be secured. Suture is passed through the graft at desired points. A cannulated plug or screw is pre-loaded onto the distal end of a driver provided with an eyelet implant at its distal end. Suture attached to the graft is passed through the eyelet of the implant located at the distal end of the driver. The distal end of the driver together with the eyelet implant is inserted into the bottom of the hole, with the screw or plug disposed just outside the hole. Tension is applied to the suture to position the graft at the desired location relative to the bone hole. The screw or plug is then frilly advanced into the pilot hole by turning the interference screw or tapping the plug until the cannulated screw or plug securely engages and locks in the eyelet implant, so that the cannulated plug or screw with the engaged eyelet implant is flush with the bone. Once the screw or plug is fully inserted and the suture is impacted into the pilot hole, the driver is removed and any loose ends of the sutures protruding from the anchor site are then clipped short.

Method For Double Row Fixation Of Tendon To Bone

US Patent:

8419794, Apr 16, 2013

Filed:

Sep 1, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/223867

Inventors:

Neal S. ElAttrache - Los Angeles CA, US
James E. Tibone - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

Arthrex, Inc. - Naples FL

International Classification:

A61F 2/08, A61F 17/04

US Classification:

623 1311, 606232

Abstract:

A system and method for soft tissue to bone repair employing at least one suture anchor combined with at least one knotless fixation device. The method for soft tissue to bone fixation includes: (i) providing a first medial row constructed with a first plurality of fixation devices, at least one of the first plurality of fixation devices is an anchor; and (ii) providing a second lateral row constructed with a second plurality of fixation devices, at least one of the second plurality of fixation devices is a knotless fixation device, and suture or tape or allograft/biological component extending over the soft tissue and secured in place by the anchors in the first and second medial rows.

Elbow Reconstruction Instruments And Techniques

US Patent:

2011020, Aug 25, 2011

Filed:

Feb 16, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/028690

Inventors:

Kyle Anderson - Birmingham MI, US
Neal S. ElAttrache - Los Angeles CA, US
William C. Benavitz - Naples FL, US
John E. Conway - Fort Worth TX, US
Anthony A. Romeo - Burr Ridge IL, US
Derek C. Sullivan - Bonita Springs FL, US
Jonathan H. Webb - Midland TX, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/56

US Classification:

606 87, 606 96

Abstract:

Techniques and instrumentation for elbow reconstruction, specifically, for repairs of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). The instrumentation provides for precise formation of sockets and tunnels along with easy suture/graft passage while accommodating all forms of elbow UCL reconstruction techniques. A V-drill guide is provided with a handle and two drill sleeves having intersecting trajectories for creating an intersecting V-shaped bone tunnel in the ulna. An adjustable humeral guide has an adjustable arm with an arc shape, and a peg and a block extending from each end of the adjustable arm. The peg is shaped to fit within an already-formed humeral socket. The block allows a drill to pass through and form other tunnels which intersect with the originally-formed tunnel at various positions.
