This disclosure relates to surgical fixation systems and methods. The surgical fixation systems of this disclosure may include various combinations of fixation devices, soft suture constructs, and/or adjustable loops and are configured for use in various knotless surgical methods, including but not limited to, syndesmosis, AC joint, UCL, bunion, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) surgical methods.

Surgical fixation systems and associated methods

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

Surgical constructs and methods for closing a tear in soft tissue without knot tying and without the use of fixation devices are disclosed.

Knotless tissue repair

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.

Surgical constructs that at least one fixation device, at least one flexible strand the forms at least one adjustable loop, and a self-locking mechanism, and methods of tissue repair using the same.

Self-locking surgical constructs and methods of use

This disclosure relates to surgical fixation systems and methods. 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.

A talus surface implant has an arc shaped body with a top side interfacing to the tibia and a bottom side having at least one post for interfacing with holes in the talus and a plurality of spikes for interfacing with the surface of the talus. Preferably the implant is double arc shaped.

Talus surface implant

A humerus implant has a stem, cup shaped body and a locking adapter. The cup shaped body is locked to the stem by a key-slot mechanism. The cup shaped body has a center portion and a plurality of flexible first sidewall segments and second sidewall segments, with gaps between neighbored sidewall segments. The first sidewall segments have a plurality of locking fins while the second sidewall segments having a plurality of recesses and holes. The locking adapter has means for fixing the locking adapter to the cup shaped body and a locking ring for locking the sidewall segments into their final positions.
