More Information
Summary:The present disclosure provides a system, method, and cannulated anchor for treating acute or chronic instability of two boney structures in a patient. The provided cannulated anchor includes an opening through which suture, and in some instances a tendon graft, may be positioned. The cannulated anchor also includes a securing mechanism that helps maintain its position when installed in bone, such as flexible prongs, angled tabs, or ridges. The cannulated anchor is installed by being translated over a k-wire with a cannulated inserter that engages the cannulated anchor. The k-wire passes through the tendon graft, if used, as the cannulated anchor is translated over the k-wire. Passing the k-wire through the tendon graft allows the tendon graft to take up more space within the cannulated anchor's opening versus being biased to one side of the k-wire during insertion.
