Zusammenfassung: | Variable angle button-suture fixation assemblies (or "variable angle button assemblies" or "tensionable fixation assemblies") that enable suture assemblies to be deployed at more extreme angles, which are sometimes necessitated by the affected patient anatomy. The devices disclosed herein allow for the user to adjust the tension in a tensionable fixation member (e.g., surgical suture) at a more extreme angle than allowed by other systems (and also to adjust the angle of repair if needed during use), and then lock the construct with the tensionable fixation member under tension at the adjusted angle. Although described herein in the context of a knotless repair technique, the variable angle button-suture fixation assemblies described herein may be configured for use in a knotted fixation technique, or an interlocking suture fixation technique. |
