Implant retaining loop and guide wire extension
A surgical assembly, the assembly including a first guidewire, a second guidewire, in which each of the first guidewire and the second guidewire are configured to be received by a bone block, a first suture loop, a second suture loop, a first locking component, and a second locking component, in which the first locking component is coupled to the first suture loop and the second locking component is coupled to the second suture loop.
1. A surgical assembly comprising:
a first guidewire;
a second guidewire,
wherein each of the first guidewire and the second guidewire are configured to be received through a first hole and a second hole in a bone block, respectively;
a first suture loop having a continuous loop;
a second suture loop having a continuous loop;
a first locking component having a size larger than a size of the first hole;
a second locking component having a size larger than a size of the second hole;
wherein the first locking component is coupled to the first suture loop and the second locking component is coupled to the second suture loop;
an end of the first suture loop, opposite the first locking component, passes around a section of the first guidewire and passes through the continuous loop of the first suture loop to form a first locked construct in which the first locking component abuts the section of the first guidewire securing the first suture loop to the first guidewire; and
an end of the second suture loop, opposite the second locking component, passes around a section of the second guidewire and passes through the continuous loop of the second suture loop to form a second locked construct in which the second locking component abuts the section of the second guidewire securing the second suture loop to the second guidewire.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a first cannula having a hole formed therethrough, a proximal end, a distal end, and a central axis defined therethrough.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the first locking component and the second locking component are substantially spherical in shape.
4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first guidewire comprises a first loop and the second guidewire comprises a second loop.
5. The assembly of claim 4 , wherein the first suture loop is secured to the first loop of the first guidewire and the second suture loop is secured to the second loop of the second guidewire.
6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the end of the first suture loop extends, longitudinally, away from the first guidewire and the first locking component, and wherein the end of the second suture loop extends, longitudinally, away from the second guidewire and the second locking component.
7. A surgical kit comprising:
a first cannula having a hole formed therethrough and configured to receive a bone block, a proximal end, a distal end, and a central axis defined therethrough;
and a surgical assembly of claim 1 .
8. The kit of claim 7 , further comprising:
a glenoid guide having a hooked end;
a second cannula having a hole formed therethrough, a proximal end, and a distal end;
a grasper;
an obturator;
a needle guidewire;
at least one threaded screw, wherein the at least one threaded screw is cannulated; and
a drill configured to secure the at least one threaded screw into a bone.
