Abstract

See full text

A suture washer construct for fixation of soft tissue to bone, or of soft tissue to soft tissue. The suture washer provides enhanced fixation and soft tissue protection. The washer consists of a cannulated metal washer with a series of through passages running around the body of the washer, to allow one or more flexible strands (for example, one or more sutures) to extend through the passages. The washer is threaded over a fixation device (screw or anchor) before insertion. Once the fixation device (screw or anchor) is inserted, the surgeon has the ability to pass the flexible strand (suture) as with a typical anchor.
