AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies have difficulty achieving knotless fixation in orthopedic surgery, especially in syndesmosis, acromioclavicular joint, ulnar collateral ligament, bunionitis, anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament surgeries. They are unable to effectively fix damaged tissues or realign bones, resulting in increased surgical complexity and insufficient fixation strength.

Method used

A surgical fixation system is used, which includes a fixation device and an adjustable ring. The size of the ring is adjusted by freely braiding strands, and fixation is ensured by multiple locking mechanisms to avoid knotting. The locking mechanism is established by combining the features of the adjustable ring and the fixation device to achieve knotless fixation.

Benefits of technology

It realizes knotless fixation in a variety of surgical methods, improves surgical efficiency and fixation strength, reduces operation time and bone damage, and enhances surgical fixation effect.
