Abstract
There is disclosed a synthetic joint stabilisation device () and associated assembly, the device having a particular use in a method of stabilising a dislocated acromioclavicular joint. The joint stabilisation device () comprises a first elongate portion () forming a first free end (); a second elongate portion () forming a second free end () which is opposite the first free end; and an integral eye () provided at a location which is between the first and second free ends, the eye serving for securing the device to a bone () of a patient. The device () is at least partly tubular so as to define an internal cavity (), said part, of the device being of a woven material. One of the first and second elongate portions () extends into the internal cavity () through a wall () of the other one of the first and second elongate portions at a first location () along a length of said other portion, and then extends out of the internal cavity at a second location () which is spaced along a length of said other portion from the first location, to thereby form a loop () which defines the eye.
