Tissue repair systems which use knotless all-suture anchors and have the ability to lock multiple repair sutures within the anchor construct. The anchor construct includes a tension suture wrapped or looped upon itself to create an open eyelet, through which multiple repair sutures originating in soft tissue are passed. The location of the eyelet may be anywhere inside the all-suture anchor or adjacent to the exterior of the anchor body. Tensioning of the tension suture causes the eyelet to restrict movement of the repair sutures and secures them within or against the anchor body.

In at least one aspect of this disclosure, a surgical drill can include a housing, a retracting enclosure slidably disposed within the housing and configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position and a retracting motor operatively connected to the retracting enclosure to move the retracting enclosure between the extended position and the retracted position. The drill can further include a drill motor including a motor shaft configured to connect to a drill chuck and disposed within the retracting enclosure such that the motor shaft can rotate relative to the retracting enclosure.

Exemplary embodiments of a suture anchor are provided that generally include a suture anchor body including a securing structure for securing the suture anchor in tissue or bone. The suture anchor body includes an internal cavity configured and dimensioned to receive therein a suture and a locking pin. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to suture anchor systems that generally include a suture anchor and a driver configured and dimensioned to interlock relative to the suture anchor. Exemplary embodiments are further directed to methods of anchoring a suture in tissue or bone that generally include providing a suture anchor, passing the suture through the suture anchor body, and driving the suture anchor into the tissue or bone.

Suture anchor and associated systems and methods

Instrumentation for an open or arthroscopic Latarjet procedure that allows more control graft handling during the formation of the hole and proper positioning parallel to the articulating bone surface. The surgical instrumentation of the present invention includes an osteotome with a plurality of markings and a depth stop, a drill guide with jaws configured to securely engage an outer surface of the graft, and an offset guide to position the graft to the bone.

Latarjet instrumentation and method

A measuring device for measuring a depth of a tear of a tissue is disclosed. The measuring device comprises a member having a shaft and a distal tip, a plurality of indicia on the shaft of the member for measuring the depth of the tear, and a cannulated member into which the member is disposed. In an example, the measuring device is used to measure the depth of a tear of the rotator cuff tendon. A method of measuring a tear of a tissue using the measuring device is also disclosed.
