  • Publication number: 20250143693
    Abstract: Button-suture assemblies which employ a knotted locking mechanism do not maintain tension when securing bone and tissue fragments. A knotless method and device for maintaining tension and providing precise placement of a button-suture assembly during stabilization procedures comprising a locking pin, which mates with a button creating pinch points with increased surface area through which suture can pass from a baseplate through two dedicated openings in the button, one for the first end of the suture and one for the second end of the suture while preventing tension loss during the locking step and therefore allowing for precise placement of the button-suture assembly.
