Disclosed are devices, methods and/or systems for securing tissue to bone, including a suture anchor implant having a body through which a suture eyelet extends transversely, and one or more suture pinch slits extending proximally from the suture eyelet, the suture pinch slit(s) angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the anchor.

Apparatus for attaching a first object to a second object, the apparatus comprising a distal anchor comprising a generally cylindrical body and a vertical bore extending through the generally cylindrical body; a proximal anchor comprising a generally cylindrical body, a first vertical bore extending through the generally cylindrical body, a second vertical bore spaced distally from the first vertical bore parallel to the first vertical bore, a third vertical bore spaced distally from the second vertical bore parallel to the first vertical bore, and a fourth vertical bore spaced distally from the third vertical bore parallel to the first vertical bore; and a suture having a proximal end and a distal end, with an enlargement formed at the distal end, wherein the suture extends through the vertical bore, through the fourth vertical bore, through the third vertical bore, through the second vertical bore and through the first vertical bore.

Surgical constructs and methods are provided for securing soft tissue to bone. One exemplary embodiment of a construct is formed from a suture filament and includes two terminal ends of filament and an intermediate portion disposed along at least a portion of a length extending between the terminal ends. The construct can have a first terminal end that is the first terminal end of the filament, and a second terminal end that includes a loop. The loop can be formed by disposing the second terminal end of the filament within a volume of a portion of the intermediate portion of the filament. In some disclosed methods, both terminal ends of the filament can be passed through tissue when performing soft tissue repairs. Various other embodiments of constructs and methods are provided, including constructs having two or more filaments associated with an anchor and methods of using such constructs.

An apparatus and its method of use in delivering surgical tissue connectors into an area of the body and removing the surgical tissue connectors from the body area. The tissue connectors are connected to a base which allows for easy adjustment of the tissue connectors along a cord. The base includes a locking mechanism which impinges a sliding knot in the cord, and, in alternate configurations of the locking mechanism and knot, impinges on the sliding knot to prevent sliding in a loosening direction but allow sliding in a tightening direction, or allows sliding in a loosening direction.

According to some embodiments, an implant for correcting a deformity in or near a joint of a subject includes an implant body having an internal lumen, a suture side hole or window extending through a wall of the implant body and providing access to the internal lumen through an exterior of the implant body, a tension assembly comprising a first bone anchor and a second bone anchor, wherein the first and second bone anchors are configured to be placed on opposite sides of the implant body, and an adjustable suture loop coupling the first bone anchor to the second bone anchor, wherein at least a portion of the at least one adjustable suture loop is positioned within the internal lumen of the implant body.

Various exemplary systems and devices for knotless anchor insertion and methods of knotless anchor insertion are provided. In general, an inserter tool is configured for knotless anchor insertion in a soft tissue repair surgical procedure. The inserter tool is configured to insert an anchor into a bone of a patient to secure a soft tissue relative to the bone. A suture coupled to the soft tissue is secured relative to the bone by being trapped between an exterior surface of the anchor and a bone surface defining a hole in the bone in which the anchor is positioned.

Disclosed herein are an implant with an attachment feature and a method for attaching to the same. The implant may include a cavity with a porous layer disposed within a non-porous layer wherein the non-porous layer defines a chamber. The chamber may receive and confine liquefiable material and direct liquefiable material to permeate through the porous layer. A method of attaching a device to the implant may include liquefying a liquefiable portion of the device and allowing the liquefied material to interdigitate with the second layer and then solidify to prevent pullout.

An intraosseous screw for deposit into a bone structure and retaining a soft tissue therein. The intraosseous screw includes a body and a retention member. The body defines an axial cavity in which soft tissue can be deposited and a window that permits the soft tissue to contact the bone structure in which the intraosseous screw is deposited. The retention member is positioned within the axial cavity and at least partially defines an opening through which a suture connected to soft tissue can pass to facilitate anchoring of the soft tissue within the axial cavity. The intraosseous screw can be combined with a passing suture, driver, and/or peg to provide a system for associating soft tissue with a bone structure. The intraosseous screw can be utilized in a method in which soft tissue is deposited into a bone structure after the interosseous screw is fully deposited in the bone structure.

Meniscal repair devices, systems, and methods are provided.

Apparatus for attaching a suture to an object, the apparatus comprising: an anchor comprising a body having a distal end and a proximal end, and a vertical bore extending through the body substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body; wherein the anchor further comprises a recess formed on one side of the body and a U-shaped slot formed on the opposing side of the body, whereby to form a flexible finger extending distally within the body, and further wherein the distal end of the finger is spaced from an opposing portion of the body; and wherein at least one of the flexible finger and the body comprises a cutout extending therethrough, with the cutout cooperating with the U-shaped slot and the recess so as to together form a suture loading hole extending through the body, with the suture loading hole being sized to receive a suture therein.
