METHODS OF USING WOVEN RETENTION DEVICES AND SYSTEMS

摘要

A method of inserting a woven retention device into a bone hole includes providing a woven retention device with a tapered distal end and a proximal end to receive a fastener, providing a delivery tube with distal and proximal openings, and providing a push rod to push the woven retention device through the distal opening of the delivery tube. The delivery tube includes a compression portion over at least a distal end of the delivery tube. The method also includes positioning the distal opening of the delivery tube near an opening of the bone hole and advancing the woven retention device through the compression portion of the distal opening of the delivery tube and into the bone hole by pushing on an interior of the tapered distal end of the woven retention device using the distal end of the push rod.

1. A method of inserting a woven retention device into a bone hole, the method comprising:
providing a woven retention device having a distal end that is tapered, a proximal end configured to receive a fastener, and a sleeve body between the distal and proximal ends; providing a delivery tube including a distal opening and a proximal opening, the delivery tube having a compression portion over at least a distal end of the delivery tube; providing a push rod having a distal end configured to push the woven retention device through the distal opening of the delivery tube; positioning the distal opening of the delivery tube near an opening of the bone hole in a bone surface; and advancing the woven retention device through the compression portion of the distal opening of the delivery tube and into the bone hole by pushing on an interior of the tapered distal end of the woven retention device using the distal end of the push rod.
