Abstract: A traction tower trap assembly with straps and finger traps that are easily adjustable and releasable. The traction tower assembly includes straps for parts of the arm, such as the patient's bicep or forearm, and finger traps to traction parts of the arm and fingers for surgical procedures. The forearm traction tower assembly includes a tower having first and second sides. The tower is connected to a base plate with a first and second slots extending partially therethrough. The assembly includes a strap made of a length of material attached to first and second adjustment mechanisms. The first adjustment mechanism is slidable within the first slot of the base plate and the second adjustment mechanism is slidable within the second slot of the base plate.

Abstract: A traction tower assembly and traction tower scale. The traction tower assembly includes a tower assembly including a first tower having a first side surface and a second tower having a second side surface positioned adjacent to the first side surface, wherein the second tower is movable with respect to the first tower in a first direction and in a second direction; and an elongated arm assembly attached to and extending from the tower assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for indicating the position and length of a bone tunnel, including a first member configured to couple with a drill guide; and a second member in spaced relation to the first member, the second member comprising an indicator configured to provide an indication of thickness of a boney member with the first member disposed on a first side of the boney member and the second member disposed on a second side of the boney member.

Abstract: Disclosed are biocompatible implants that combine a scaffold material for supporting long term repair of a soft tissue with an elongated member such as a suture for aiding in placement of the scaffold during a surgical procedure as well as for immediate mechanical reinforcement of a repair site. The components of an implant are combined such that a longitudinal load placed upon a composite structure can be borne primarily by the elongated member and the scaffold material is isolated from the longitudinal load. Thus, the scaffold material of a composite can be protected from damage due to applied loads and stresses during and following a surgical procedure.
