  • Implants and methods for shoulder joint reconstruction
    Patent number: 11957566
    Abstract: A method of implanting a graft onto a proximal humerus includes securing a first suture anchor to a first portion of the proximal humerus and securing a second suture anchor to a second portion of the proximal humerus. The first suture anchor includes a first suture and the second suture anchor includes a second suture. The graft is inserted over the proximal humerus. The method further includes positioning the graft relative to the proximal humerus such that a lateral portion of the graft is oriented over a greater tuberosity of the proximal humerus and a medial portion of the graft is oriented over the medial greater tuberosity. The graft is secured to the proximal humerus via the first suture member and the second suture member. The method may also include securing the graft anteriorly to the subscapularis and/or posteriorly to the infraspinatus.

    Abstract: Tensionable, knotless, self-locking surgical constructs and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A tensionable, knotless, self-locking surgical construct includes two self-locking, tensionable, knotless independent mechanisms loaded onto a fixation device, one of the two self-locking, tensionable, knotless, independent mechanisms including a preformed, flexible, continuous, uninterrupted loop. The fixation device can be a knotless fixation device such as a hard-body anchor, or a knotless soft anchor such as an all-suture knotless anchor.
