Method and apparatus for coupling anatomical features

摘要

An assembly for coupling a first portion of an anatomy to a second portion of the anatomy includes an anchor having an anchor body and a first and second bores through the anchor body. A first adjustable suture construct having a body portion passes through the first bore of the anchor and includes first and second adjustable loops slidable relative to a passage portion defined in the body portion of the first adjustable suture construct. A similar second adjustable suture construct passes through the second bore of the anchor.

1. An assembly for coupling a first portion of an anatomy to a second portion of the anatomy comprising:
an anchor having an anchor body and first and second bores through the anchor body; a first adjustable suture construct passing through the first bore of the anchor and including a first adjustable loop and a second adjustable loop, the first adjustable suture construct including a first free end that extends through a first longitudinal passage in the first adjustable suture construct to form the first adjustable loop and a second free end that extends through a second longitudinal passage in the first adjustable suture construct to form the second adjustable loop, the first longitudinal passage spaced apart from the second longitudinal passage in the first adjustable suture construct; and a second adjustable suture construct passing through the second bore of the anchor and including a first adjustable loop and a second adjustable loop, the second adjustable suture construct including a first free end that extends through a first longitudinal passage in the second adjustable suture construct to form the first adjustable loop and a second free end that extends through a second longitudinal passage in the second adjustable suture construct to form the second adjustable loop, the first longitudinal passage spaced apart from the second longitudinal passage in the second adjustable suture construct.
