Summary:A soft anchor surgical fixation device includes two soft anchoring implants. The implants have a first elongate state where the implants may slide easily through a bone hole or tunnel, and a second axially compressed state where the implants are prevented from sliding through the bone hole or tunnel. The device also includes a suture pathway extending at least partially along and through the sidewalls of the implants. Tension on the suture transitions the implants from the first elongate state to the second compressed state. Un dispositif de fixation chirurgicale à ancrage mou comprend deux implants d'ancrage mou. Les implants présentent un premier état allongé dans lequel les implants peuvent glisser facilement à travers un trou ou un tunnel osseux, et un second état comprimé axialement où les implants ne peuvent pas glisser à travers le trou ou le tunnel osseux. Le dispositif comprend également un trajet de suture s'étendant au moins partiellement le long et à travers les parois latérales des implants. La tension exercée sur la suture fait passer les implants du premier état allongé au deuxième état comprimé.
