Abstract
Cerclage constructs, systems, kits and methods of cerclage repairs are disclosed. A cerclage construct can create a repair without metal cerclage and cabling (metal wires, cables, etc.) and/or metal components (metal fittings, screws, etc.). A cerclage construct includes a plurality of interconnected flexible strands that secure a first bone (bone graft or bone block) to a second bone (bone graft or bone block) with a simple and compact design. The cerclage construct is a flexible, tensionable construct that eliminates the need for metal components in a fracture repair.
