Tissue repair assembly
The present disclosure relates to a tissue repair assembly. The assembly includes an interference device and a fixation device coupled to the interference device, wherein the fixation device includes a coupling portion and a capturing portion. Other assemblies and methods are also disclosed.
1. A system for tissue repair comprising:
a fixation device comprising a base portion including a first leg, a second leg, and a groove located between the first and second legs; and
a top portion extending from the base portion;
a threaded interference device including a cannulation along its length, the cannulation including a uniform diameter; and
a delivery device to which the fixation device and threaded interference device are coupled.
2. The fixation device of claim 1 wherein both the first leg and the second leg include a pointed end portion.
3. A tissue repair assembly comprising:
a fixation device comprising a base portion including a first leg, a second leg, and a groove located between the first and second legs, and a top portion extending from the base portion; and
a threaded interference device coupled to the fixation device, wherein the top portion of the fixation device is configured for housing within a cannulation of the interference device, the cannulation including a uniform diameter along its length.
4. The tissue repair assembly of claim 3 wherein the interference device is configured for rotary advancement into a target tissue.
5. A method of tissue repair comprising:
preparing a hole in a bone;
inserting a soft tissue into the hole via the use of a fixation device; and
inserting a rigid interference device into the hole, the interference device including threads on an outer surface and a uniform cannulation along its length.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the fixation device comprises a base portion including a first leg, a second leg, and a groove located between the legs, and a top portion extending from the base portion.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the soft tissue is located within the groove of the fixation device when the soft tissue is advanced into the hole.
8. The method of claim 5 further comprising applying tension to the soft tissue prior to inserting the interference device into the hole.
9. The method of claim 5 wherein inserting the interference device into the hole fixates the soft tissue to the bone.
10. The method of claim 5 wherein the interference device is configured for rotary advancement into the hole.
11. The method of claim 5 wherein insertion of the interference device into the hole occurs via rotary advancement of the interference device into the hole.
12. A method of tissue repair comprising:
preparing a hole in a bone;
inserting a soft tissue into the hole via the use of a fixation device; and
inserting a rigid interference device into the hole, wherein the interference device includes a cannulation having a uniform diameter along its length and is configured for rotary advancement into the hole.
13. A method of tissue repair comprising:
preparing a hole in a bone;
inserting a soft tissue into the hole via the use of a fixation device; and
inserting a rigid interference device into the hole, wherein insertion of the interference device into the hole occurs via rotary advancement of the interference device into the hole, the interference device including a cannulation along its length, the cannulation having a uniform diameter.
