  • Flexible bone screw
    Patent number: 9931145
    Abstract: A flexible bone screw for insertion into the intramedullary cavity of a fractured bone facilitates enduring fixation of the fracture. The flexible bone screw includes a substantially smooth shaft and a threaded portion positioned at one end of the shaft, wherein the outer diameter of the threaded portion is greater than the shaft diameter and the length of the threaded portion is about 20% of the overall length of the flexible bone screw or less.

  • Methods and devices for anchoring suture in bone
    Patent number: 9610074
    Abstract: An elongate rigid suture anchor is provided which is driven and impacted directly into bone. It has two ends: a distal end, which forms a hole in the bone, and a proximal end that penetrates the sidewall of the bone hole as the anchor is displaced proximally in the hole. A proximal force is applied to the suture anchor to displace the anchor proximally and cause tilting of the anchor. As the anchor is displaced proximally, the proximal end of the anchor enters obliquely into the sidewall of the hole.

  • T-type suture anchor
    Patent number: 9314238
    Abstract: A suture anchor of a T-type is inserted into and through a small-diameter hole formed in a bone and, when deployed, is oriented substantially transversely with respect to the small-diameter hole. Prior to deployment, the suture anchor is coupled to an insertion shaft through a deformable portion and is aligned with the shaft axis so that the insertion shaft and the suture anchor can be inserted into the small-diameter hole.

  • Suture-retaining device and anchor
    Patent number: 9289202
    Abstract: A rotator cuff tendon injury is repaired using a flexible fastener and an anchor. The flexible fastener is attached to the rotator cuff tendon and also secured to the anchor. The anchor is attached to or supported by various locations on the humerus other than the humeral head, to provide a robust means for holding the rotator cuff tendon in the desired position against the humeral head.
