Attachment Device to Attach Tissue Graft

摘要

A tissue graft attachment device includes a platform member including a leading edge and a trailing edge connected to the leading edge by a pair of sides. The platform member defines a pair of slots extending along a longitudinal axis passing between the leading edge and the trailing edge, and an opening between the pair of slots and the leading edge. The device includes a first suture passing through the opening, a second suture passing through one of the slots, and an attachment member passing through the pair of slots to form a loop. A method for attaching a tissue graft includes providing the tissue graft attachment device, forming a bone tunnel, pulling on the first suture to pull the platform member through the bone tunnel, and pulling on the second suture to position the platform member on the bone tunnel.

1. A tissue graft attachment device comprising:
a platform member including a leading edge and a trailing edge connected to the leading edge by a pair of sides, the platform member defining:
i) a pair of slots extending along a central axis passing between the leading edge and the trailing edge, the slots located on opposite sides of the central axis and positioned to form a central member extending along the central axis,ii) an opening between the pair of slots and the leading edge; a first suture passing through the opening; a second suture passing through one of the slots; and an attachment member passing through each slot in the pair of slots and forming a loop around the central member.
