IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR GLENOID AND LABRUM REPAIR

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method for repairing tissue, comprising the steps of drilling a through-hole (13) through a bone fragment (11); drilling a bore hole (12) at least partially into a bone (10) at a reattachment location (50) where the bone fragment (11) is to be reattached; implanting a first filamentary fixation device (14) into the bore hole (12), the first filamentary fixation device (14) having at least a first filament end (15) extending therefrom; passing the first filament end (15) out of the bore hole (12) and through the through-hole (13) through the bone fragment (11); positioning the bone fragment (11) onto the bone (10) at the reattachment location (50); and securing the first filament end (15) to fixedly secure the bone fragment (11) at the reattachment location (50).
