Abstract:
A soft tissue and bone repair system and corresponding method are provided which are particularly useful for labral repairs in the human shoulder. The system comprises at least two guide cannulae capable of being introduced into an anatomical structure of a human body at different entry points for repair of a tear in soft tissue. A pulling line can be passed within the anatomical structure between the guide cannulae. A guide device may be attached to the pulling line and inserted into one of the guide cannula. The guide device is capable of delivering a drilling device into the anatomical structure. The pulling line is capable of being pulled to move an end of the guide device from a one location to another within the anatomical structure to position the drilling device on a desired drilling path to access the tear in soft tissue.
