Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for anchoring suture to bone. In one exemplary embodiment, a cannulated suture anchor is provided and it includes a suture-engaging member formed therein and configured to receive a suture therearound such that trailing ends of the suture can extend through the suture anchor.
The present invention also provides exemplary sutures and drivers that can be used with the various methods and devices disclosed herein, or with other methods and devices known in the art.
The present invention also provides exemplary sutures and drivers that can be used with the various methods and devices disclosed herein, or with other methods and devices known in the art.
Claims (23)
1. A suture anchor, comprising:
an elongate body having proximal and distal ends with an inner lumen extending therethrough, and at least one bone-engaging surface feature formed on an external surface thereof for engaging bone; and a rotatable member extending between opposed sidewalls of the inner lumen and adapted to rotate relative to the elongate body.
an elongate body having proximal and distal ends with an inner lumen extending therethrough, and at least one bone-engaging surface feature formed on an external surface thereof for engaging bone; and a rotatable member extending between opposed sidewalls of the inner lumen and adapted to rotate relative to the elongate body.
2. The suture anchor of claim 1, wherein the rotatable member is disposed adjacent the distal end of the elongate body.
3. The suture anchor of claim 1, wherein the rotatable member comprises a post extending between opposed walls of the inner lumen.
4. The suture anchor of claim 1, wherein the rotatable member extends substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the suture anchor.
5. The suture anchor of claim 1, wherein the elongate body includes cut-outs formed in opposed sidewalls thereof and extending proximally from the distal end of the elongate body, the cut-outs being in communication with the inner lumen.
6. The suture anchor of claim 5, wherein the rotatable member is positioned distal of a proximal end of the cut-outs.
7. The suture anchor of claim 1, wherein the rotatable member is positioned just proximal to a distal-most end of the elongated body such that the distal end of the elongated body includes a suture-seating groove formed therein and configured to seat at least one suture.
8. The suture anchor of claim 1, further comprising a suture disposed around the rotatable member and having trailing ends extending through the suture anchor.
9. An apparatus for anchoring tissue to bone, comprising:
a suture anchor having at least one surface feature formed on an external surface thereof and adapted to engage bone, an inner lumen extending therethrough between proximal and distal ends thereof, and a rotatable member extending across opposed sidewalls of the inner lumen such that a suture can extend around the rotatable member and trailing ends of the suture can extend through the inner lumen of the suture anchor; and a driver having an elongate shaft and a distal end adapted to be received within and to engage a proximal portion of the inner lumen of the suture anchor.
a suture anchor having at least one surface feature formed on an external surface thereof and adapted to engage bone, an inner lumen extending therethrough between proximal and distal ends thereof, and a rotatable member extending across opposed sidewalls of the inner lumen such that a suture can extend around the rotatable member and trailing ends of the suture can extend through the inner lumen of the suture anchor; and a driver having an elongate shaft and a distal end adapted to be received within and to engage a proximal portion of the inner lumen of the suture anchor.
10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the elongate shaft includes an inner lumen extending therethrough for receiving a suture extending through the inner lumen of the suture anchor.
11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the distal end of the elongate shaft includes opposed cut-outs formed therein for allowing a suture extending from the suture anchor to extend externally along the elongate shaft of the driver.
12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the distal end of the elongate shaft has an asymmetrical cross-sectional shape, and wherein at least a proximal portion of the inner lumen the suture anchor has a complementary asymmetrical cross-sectional shape.
13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the rotatable member comprises a pin extending between opposed sidewalls of the inner lumen of the suture anchor.
14. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the rotatable member is positioned adjacent to the distal end of the suture anchor.
15. A method for anchoring suture to bone, comprising:
coupling a suture to a suture anchor such that the suture extends around a rotatable member rotatably disposed within in a distal end of the suture anchor and trailing ends of the suture extend through an inner lumen extending through the suture anchor;
inserting a driver into the proximal end of the suture anchor; and actuating the driver to insert the suture anchor into bone to anchor the suture to the bone.
coupling a suture to a suture anchor such that the suture extends around a rotatable member rotatably disposed within in a distal end of the suture anchor and trailing ends of the suture extend through an inner lumen extending through the suture anchor;
inserting a driver into the proximal end of the suture anchor; and actuating the driver to insert the suture anchor into bone to anchor the suture to the bone.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising pulling one of the trailing ends of the suture to cause the rotatable member to rotate.
17. The method of claim 16, further comprising removing the driver from the suture anchor prior to pulling one of the trailing end of the suture.
18. The method of claim 16, wherein the suture includes a wire attached thereto and wherein pulling the suture comprises pulling the wire.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein a second suture is coupled to the wire such that pulling the wire pulls the second suture around the rotatable member and through the inner lumen of the suture anchor.
20. The method of claim 15, wherein the suture anchor includes threads formed thereon and wherein actuating the driver comprises rotating the driver to thread the suture anchor into bone.
21. The method of claim 20, wherein the threads extend from a proximal end of the suture anchor to a distal end of the suture anchor such that the suture anchor is fully threaded into bone.
22. The use of the suture anchor as defined in any one of claims 1 to 8 for anchoring suture to bone.
23. The use of the apparatus as defined in any one of claims 9 to 14 for anchoring tissue to bone.
