Abstract:
An attachment device that secures soft tissue to an orthopedic prosthetic implant or bone. The attachment device includes a receptor surface, an attachment plate with an attachment surface, and fasteners. The receptor surface can be formed on the implant or on a separate receptor plate. The receptor surface accepts the soft tissue and/or a bony structure, the attachment plate at least partially covers the receptor surface, and the fasteners secure them together to compress and hold in place the soft tissue and/or a bony structure.
