Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0232345A2] This is a surgical device. More particularly, it is an intraosseous anchor for securing soft tissue, such as a tendon or ligament, to a cavity formed in a bone. The device itself preferably is formed in such a way that the soft tissue is pressed against the bone by the device to accelerate growth by the soft tissue and attachment to the bone. The device preferably utilizes anchor barbas on its exterior to grasp the soft tissue under conditions of improved distribution of tension and with a minimal disruption of the soft tissue-bone interface and the allied nutrient supplies. the anchor and soft tissue may be treated with osteogenic growth factors. Various processes of using the device are also shown.
