Suture hole geometry and methods for attaching tissue to orthopedic implants
Orthopedic implants and related surgical methods for using same. The implants have suture bore geometries that facilitate performance of the surgical methods, thereby providing for improved optimal biomechanical force application in various anatomies. The implants include suture bores that have an angled / diagonal, or skewed, orientation within the anatomical planes (lateral / sagittal and frontal / coronal). The suture bores have the skewed orientation so that the adjacent soft tissues (i.e., tendons or ligaments) can be advanced via the suture therethrough in superior-inferior and inferior-superior directions. Openings, or holes, at the ends of the suture bores are configured to approximate the adjacent associated soft tissue to the implant.

Ligament fixation device and method
Systems and methods for providing fixation of soft tissue (for example, ligament) to bone by employing a novel multi-piece device. The novel multi-piece device is a ligament fixation system consisting of a larger collar that is initially impacted into a bone aperture, and a smaller plug / bullet-shaped part that is impacted into the larger collar. During ligament repair / reconstruction, the graft is inserted into a bone tunnel with sutures from the graft extending outside the tunnel. The sutures are passed through a collar of the multi-part device and the collar is then inserted into the bone tunnel. The graft suture strands may be tensioned. Subsequently, the smaller plug / bullet-shaped part is impacted into the collar thereby maintaining the tension on the graft sutures. The plug / bullet-shaped part is tightened after the desired tension on the suture is achieved.

Method of adjustably closing tissue
PCT designated stageWO2025188523A8Suture equipmentsSurgical needlesSurgical operationAbdominal cavity
A system for closing trocar wound sites includes a suture engagement device and a guide to direct the device through the body tissues. An improved needle and guide instrument set allows for the surgical placement of suture to be completed "blind," namely, without the aid of an endoscope for direct visualization of the abdominal cavity. The guide can include markings to accurately determine a depth of the guide and, therefore, accurately determining a suture fascial tissue bite distance. This may be advantageous in certain surgical procedures where an endoscope is not being used or does not provide adequate visualization of the surgical site.

The snare loop 10 extends in a loop shape in a direction generally perpendicular to a vertically downward direction, and a circular suture engaging part 14 is obtained by twisting the tip of the loop shape in such a manner where an intersection part is not in contact. When the suture 50 having a higher stiffness than that of the snare loop 10 is pushed out of the operation rod 20 while being inserted in the suture engaging part 14, the suture 50 is pushed into the intersection part and disengaged from the suture engaging part 14 of the snare loop 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
