An implantable device may be provided with first and second bone anchors, at least one suture and a force-generating component. In some embodiments, the first bone anchor is configured to anchor in or on a first bone segment and the second bone anchor is configured to anchor in or on a second bone segment. The at least one suture may interconnect the first bone anchor and the second bone anchor. The force-generating component may be connected to the at least one suture and configured to impart a force thereto. The first bone anchor, the second bone anchor, the at least one suture and the force-generating component may be configured to cooperate together to draw the first bone segment and the second bone segment toward one another with a force in a predetermined range. Methods of device construction and use are also provided.

A soft tissue repair device. The device includes an inserter having a distal portion, a first anchor carried externally onto the distal portion, a second anchor carried externally onto the distal portion, and a flexible strand coupling the first and second anchors and forming an adjustable knotless loop.

A knotless suture anchor assembly for engaging a bone tunnel and holding suture therein to knotlessly secure said suture to soft tissue including an elongated generally cylindrical hollow outer member having an axial lumen, an outer surface with projections for engaging the wall of the bone tunnel, a distal end and a proximal end; and an elongated, generally cylindrical inner member having an axis, a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end having a transverse passage for receiving suture therethrough, the transverse passage having a proximal and distal end and adapted to receive a plurality of sutures in said eyelet, the inner member adapted to move coaxially relative to the outer member between a distal, suture-unlocked position and a proximal, suture-locked position.

Devices, systems, implants and methods for achieving ligament fixation are disclosed. An implant includes a head member and an anchor member coupled to the head member. The implant includes tension member that couples the head member to the anchor member. The head member and the anchor member include a cannulation that receives the tension member therein. The implant may include a coupling member positioned between and coupling the head member and the anchor member, the coupling member including a cannulation that receives the tension member therethrough. Insertion instruments for inserting an implant for ligament fixation are also disclosed. Methods of using an implant for achieving ligament fixation are also disclosed.

Anchor delivery systems include markings on the surfaces of the delivery device which are visually exposed to the user through openings or fenestrations in the anchor, providing visual feedback to the user on the progress of the anchor's insertion. A suture-locking plug is deformable within the anchor tip, thereby enhancing suture entrapment within the tip of the anchor. A compliant component of the handle places the handle components in tension, thereby absorbing built-in axial looseness in the handle. The handle further includes a spin cavity which allows for free spin of the inserter shaft to finalize insertion of the anchor into bone when the anchor has not been fully seated flush with or below the cortical bone surface.

The present invention pertains to a hollow two-section implantation knotless suture anchor which comprises a main body, a tightening element and a taper. The main body comprises a front part, a rear part, a middle part, a first penetration part, a first accommodation space, a first thread, a tapered structure, and a perforation. The tightening element comprises a second penetration part and a second accommodation space. The taper comprises a taper body and a taper head. Moreover, the suture can pass through the perforation on the outside of the main body through the perforation. Afterthat it can pass through the first accommodation space and then the second accommodation space on the outside of the tightening element from the side of the tightening element opposite to the main body. Finally, it can extend on the outside of the main body. Hence, by pulling the ends of the suture, the tightness of the suture tightened by the tightening element and the front part is adjustable. Also, when the taper body of the first penetration and the second penetration is positioned, the taper head is next to the tightening element. Thus, by rotating the taper, both the main body and the tightening element are rotatable.

A knotless tensionable fixation system may be utilized for performing surgical methods for repairing tissue defects within a joint. An exemplary surgical method may include fixating a graft over top of the tissue defect with the knotless tensionable knotless fixation system. The knotless tensionable fixation system may include a plurality of knotless suture anchors, the graft, and a reinforcement construct. The reinforcement construct may establish a fixed segment of material over the graft after being secured in place by the plurality of knotless suture anchors.

Surgical devices and methods of soft tissue repair using pre-looped tensionable and non-pre-looped tensionable knotless fixation devices. A flexible material (for example, suture or suture tape) may be attached to the fixation device. A flexible material may be threaded through an eyelet of a tip provided as part of a swivel anchor assembly to provide added stability to the fixation devices.
