Tissue graft fixation

摘要

A tissue graft fixation device including a body having an upper and lower surface, a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion extending between the first and second end portions, the intermediate portion comprising at least two tabs extending transverse to the intermediate portion, the intermediate portion defining at least one hole located between the at least two tabs, and each of the at least two tabs comprising a keel extending transverse to the intermediate portion and including a cutting edge.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
looping a tissue graft through an opening in a tissue graft fixation device, and pulling the tissue graft fixation device and looped graft through a bone tunnel; positioning at least two tabs extending from one side of the fixation device within the bone tunnel to limit translation of the fixation device on a cortical bone surface; and seating a cutting edge portion of at least two axially extending and tapered keels integrally formed with the at least two tabs into a portion of the cortical bone surface to limit rotation of the device relative to the cortical bone surface.
