Abstract: Tensionable, knotless, self-locking surgical constructs and methods for surgical repairs are disclosed. A tensionable, knotless, self-locking surgical construct includes a flexible coupler (repair suture) and a plurality of shuttle/pull devices loaded onto a fixation device. The fixation device can be a knotless fixation device such as a knotless soft anchor, for example, an all-suture knotless anchor. The knotless surgical construct provides multiple passes of the flexible coupler itself (repair suture itself), to achieve the desired friction and to also create a reverse purchase resistance to loosening. The flexible coupler (repair suture) is passed around tissue two or more times (and subsequently through the cannulation of the anchor sheath two or more times) creating a stuffed friction effect. There is no cinching loop in the final repair.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing tensionable knotless surgical procedures. A suture locking device that includes a one-way locking mechanism may be utilized for tensioning and locking one or more strands of suture during the surgical procedure. The one-way locking mechanism may be established by one or more locking barbs of the suture locking device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing tensionable knotless tissue repairs. A locking ferrule that includes a one-way locking mechanism may be utilized as part of the tensionable knotless tissue repairs for tensioning and locking one or more strands of suture. The one-way locking mechanism may be established by one or more locking barbs of the locking ferrule. The locking ferrule may further include an eyelet or a through-bore for accommodating the suture.

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.

Abstract: Soft anchor constructs and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs. The soft anchors may be knotted or knotless constructs. The soft anchors include a body formed of various soft materials (including, but not limited to, suture) and provided in various shapes and configurations that confer the anchors the ability to be easily inserted within bone tunnels or sockets and be bunched up within the bone tunnels or sockets. At least one closed loop or soft eyelet is attached to the soft anchor to allow additional sliding strands and/or shuttle/pull devices (suture passing devices) to pass through the eyelet and aid in the knotted or knotless fixation of tissue to bone.

Abstract: An assembly includes an insertion device comprised of a shaft that extends along a longitudinal axis, terminating in a forked tip with a U-shaped groove. This groove is designed to hold a portion of the soft, suture bunchable bone anchor, which consists of a flexible strand with a suture positioned between its two ends. The anchor is configured to be delivered into a bone hole and transition from an unbunched to a bunched state upon deployment.

Abstract: Suture constructs and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs. The suture construct is a soft, suture-based anchor which is self-cinching and has a specific, accordion-type configuration (i.e., with the ability to fold from a first, extended position to a second, folded or compressed position). The suture-based anchor may be formed essentially of a flexible material such as a high strength surgical suture, suture chain, or suture.

Abstract: Tensionable tissue repair systems and methods are provided for reducing and fixating tissue to bone. The proposed systems and methods utilize one or more suture anchors and one or more surgical buttons for reducing and fixating the tissue to the bone. Additional suture anchors may be used as part of a multi-row fixation technique for providing a desired area of footprint compression over top of the tissue.
