Suture anchor systems with spring loaded suture anchors
Abstract:
An exemplary suture anchor system includes a first suture anchor having a central axis, a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and an internal passage extending along the central axis between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion. The resilient member is at least partially external to the internal passage, and a flexible strand is connected to the resilient member. An exemplary method includes fixating a spring loaded first suture anchor in a first bone, passing a flexible strand from the spring loaded first suture anchor to a second suture anchor, and fixating the second suture anchor in a second bone.
