Abstract:
Systems and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs, without knot tying. The soft tissue repair systems include self-cinching constructs with a fixation device, a flexible coupler and an optional shuttle/pull device attached to the flexible strand. An accordion-style weave region is formed by pulling on the shuttle/pull device subsequent to the fixation device being secured into the bone, to allow desired tensioning of soft tissue to be fixated or repaired relative to the bone and secured self-locking of the construct.
