  • Publication number: 20160296223
    Abstract: An inserter assembly for inserting anchors into bone includes a handle having a handle body. A first inserter is disposed within the handle body and is fixedly connected thereto. The first inserter has an insertion end configured to retain a first anchor for insertion thereof into bone. A second inserter is slidably disposed within the handle body and has an insertion end configured to retain a second anchor for insertion thereof into bone. A sleeve is slidably disposed within the handle body and is releasably connected to the second inserter.

  • Publication number: 20160174961
    Abstract: A method of tissue fixation, which includes inserting a sleeve into a bone hole. The sleeve includes first and second openings and a length of filament slidably disposed therethrough. The length of filament includes a first free end extending from the first opening of the sleeve and a loop-end extending from the second opening of the sleeve. The method also includes tensioning the loop-end and first free end to secure the sleeve in the bore hole, passing the first free end through tissue at a first location and passing the loop-end through tissue at a second location, and advancing the first free end through a loop defined by the loop-end.

  • Publication number: 20160113642
    Abstract: A method for securing a sleeve in a bore hole in bone. The method includes disposing at least a portion of a length of filament into the bore hole, and implanting the sleeve into the bore hole such that a first pathway extending through first and second ends of the sleeve opens in a direction toward the opening of the bore hole and in a direction toward the base of the bore hole. The method also includes pulling at least a portion of the length of filament through the first pathway of the sleeve, thereby forming a first loop configuration extending from the first end and at least one free end of the length of filament extending from the second end. Also included is passing the at least one free end through the first loop configuration to create a one-way cinch.

  • Publication number: 20150313611
    Abstract: A bone cutting device for forming an undercut in bone. The device includes a rotatable body having an inner surface and outer surface. The inner surface defines an aperture. The inner and outer surfaces are disposed opposite each other and define a sidewall. The sidewall includes a recess extending from the outer surface into the aperture. A cutting arm is cantilevered to the sidewall and disposed within the recess. The cutting arm includes a flexible depression extending into the aperture. An actuating member is longitudinally slidable within the aperture such that sliding the actuating member longitudinally interfaces with the flexible depression and pushes the cutting arm radially outwardly.

  • Publication number: 20150164497
    Abstract: A system for securing a length of filament in working communication with tissue. The system includes a first filamentary sleeve having a length along a longitudinal axis and a passageway therethrough. The passageway is dimensioned to allow slidable movement therein of a length of filament. Also included within the system is and a filament engagement device that includes a pathway. The pathway has a first configuration and second configuration, wherein a portion of the length of filament is slidable within the pathway when the pathway is in the first configuration and is restricted from sliding when the pathway is in the second configuration.
