Abstract: An anchor device for mounting a bodily tissue to a bone, such as for repairing ligaments and tendons, particularly ham string tissue grafts for repairing a knee joint. The anchor device is configured and sized to pass through a bone tunnel and comprises a sheath member having a bone-engagement end and bodily tissue attachment end. The bone-engagement end includes structure for selective overlapping and engaging the bone adjacent an exit opening of the bone tunnel. The bodily tissue attachment end includes structure known in the art for attaching a bodily tissue, such as a ligament, tendon, or ligament graft, to the sheath member. The anchor device further includes a camming member slidably disposed relative to the sheath member, which selectively urges the sheath member to engage the bone surface. The sheath member and camming member include interlocking features for locking the anchor device in a deployed position within the bond tunnel.

Abstract: Surgical instruments which have multiple functions used in performing endoscopic surgeries, including arthroscopic surgery. The surgical instrument includes a mechanical cutting portion, such as a rotary blade or burr, and an electronic cutting and/or cauterizing portion comprising an electronic surgical device which operates in bipolar mode. This solves the problem of having to constantly remove and insert various surgical instruments into the surgery site in order to remove different kinds of tissues and at different rates and in different manners. A rotary burr works best to remove hard tissues, such as bone, while the bipolar device can be used to cut or ablate soft tissues and/or cauterize tissue, including blood vessels. Alternatively, the mechanical cutting portion may include a rotary blade, which works best for removing soft tissues.
