SYSTEM FOR TISSUE FIXATION TO BONE

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for fixating connective tissue to bone. Some aspects include a carrier member having a length, width, and thickness, wherein the length and width are each at least two times greater than the thickness; attachment members extending from the carrier member and that engage connective tissue of an animal; and a bone engaging member extending from the carrier member and configured to attach to a bone of the animal. In some aspects, when the attachment members are engaged with the connective tissue and the bone engaging member is attached to the bone, the connective tissue and the bone are limited in being pulled apart from one another during physiological use of the connective tissue.

1. An apparatus, for fixating connective tissue to bone, comprising:
a carrier member having a length, width, and thickness, the length and width each being at least two times greater than the thickness; a plurality of attachment members extending from the carrier member and configured to engage connective tissue of an animal; and a bone engaging member extending from the carrier member and configured to attach to a bone of the animal; wherein, when the plurality of attachment members is engaged with the connective tissue and the bone engaging member is attached to the bone, the connective tissue and the bone are limited in being pulled apart from one another during physiological use of the connective tissue.
