摘要

A plate for use in the repair of a torn tendon or ligament and a method for using said plate are provided. The plate includes a plurality of screw holes. The plate also includes a suture anchor point disposed on the plate body. The plate further includes a porous portion configured to allow muscle tissue to migrate through the porous portion and into the bone as the tissue regrows. The method includes the step of securing the plate to a bone by inserting a bone screw and anchor screw(s) through the screw holes. The method proceeds to the step of sewing the sutures to the damaged tendon/ligament and securing the suture to the suture anchor point. Wherein the damaged tendon/ligament is attached to the plate, and wherein muscle tissue may migrate through the porous portion and into the bone as the tissue regrows.
