DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SECURING TISSUE TO BONE

摘要

An orthopedic ligation assembly includes a bone anchor having an eyelet and a suture line formed in a continuous loop and loaded onto the bone anchor, the suture line passing through the eyelet of the bone anchor to form a first looped portion on a first side of the bone anchor and a second looped portion on a second side of the bone anchor. The suture line can be pre-loaded onto the bone anchor prior to implantation of the bone anchor in a configuration that prevents unloading of the suture line from the anchor. The suture line can include a plurality of differentiable sections providing a surgeon with the ability to differentiate separate portions of the suture line during an orthopedic procedure.
