A surgical fixation system can include a fixation device, a loop connected to the fixation device, a graft carried by the loop, and a reinforcement material. Surgical fixation systems can be used in various tissue reconstruction procedures, including but not limited to, ACL and PCL reconstructions. The graft and the reinforcement material may be tensioned independently of one another to avoid stress shielding the graft.

Surgical fixation systems and methods

This disclosure relates to surgical fixation systems and methods. The surgical fixation systems can include a fixation device and an adjustable loop connected to the fixation device.

Embodiments of the invention include implants, instruments, and methods for attaching or reattaching soft tissue () to a bone (), that enable independent tensioning of multiple connectors such as sutures () and enable redundant fixation between bone () and soft tissue (). Some embodiments provide for improved accuracy of the placement of substantially parallel tunnels through which soft tissue () to bone () connectors such as sutures () are passed.
