Problems solved by technology

For example, existing procedures require the use of many tools, which results in prolonged procedure times and increased costs
The use of screws also increases the risk of damaging the tendon, as rotation of the screw into the bone hole can tear or cut through the tendon
Additionally, it can be difficult to maintain the desired tension on the tendon while the screw is in place, as the tendon can become misaligned and / or slip during screw insertion
