Problems solved by technology

For example, current procedures require the use of multiple tools, which can lead to prolonged procedures and increased costs
The use of screws also increases the risk of injuring the tendon, as driving the screw into a hole in the bone could tear or sever the tendon
In addition, it may be difficult to maintain the desired tension on the tendon while the screw is implanted, as the tendon may become misaligned and / or may slip during screw insertion
Any tension applied to the tendon during anchor insertion may also cause the anchor to withdraw from the bone hole

Abstract

The present invention is entitled a device for repairing the biceps brachii. The present invention provides methods and devices for anchoring ligaments or tendons to bone. In general, the present invention provides various inserter tools for simultaneously delivering an expandable sheath and a dilator into a bone. With both parts of the implant mounted on the same tool, the sheath and ligament can be advanced into the bone hole, and during delivery of the sheath follow the A dilator may be advanced into the sheath to expand the sheath and anchor the sheath and ligament within the bone hole.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention provides surgical devices and methods for anchoring tissue to bone, and more particularly, surgical implants, delivery tools, and methods for securing the biceps tendon to the humerus. Background technique [0002] Dysalignment of the long head of the biceps tendon is a common cause of shoulder pain and can occur in conjunction with other diagnoses, such as rotator cuff tears, anteroposterior tears of the superior labrum, impingement syndrome, and capsular injuries, or as a exist as a single cause of local pain. Treatment options for long head biceps (LHB) disorders are constantly evolving and may include LHB tenodesis. During tenodesis, sutures are threaded through the base of the LHB to position the LHB in the subacromial cavity as well as to provide proximal control during dissection. Once the sutures are in place, the LHB is incised near the glenoid attachment. The tendon size can be measured with a gage to determine the ap...
