Definitions
- the present invention relates to suture or surgical anchors and methods for installing same in tissue.
- the present invention relates to a suture anchor for anchoring a second tissue such as soft tissue to a first tissue such as bone without requiring the tying of a knot in the suture.
- suture anchors it is common in the medical arts for medical personnel, such as surgeons, to use suture anchors to facilitate the attachment of soft tissue to bone while performing medical procedures.
- the bone is pre-prepared by drilling a bore hole, within which the suture anchor is subsequently inserted.
- a suture extending from the anchor is either attached to or threaded through the soft tissue so that the soft tissue may be secured to the bone.
- the surgeon must tie off or knot the suture to ensure that the soft tissue remains in place after the medical procedure.
- the suture may be attached to the tissue prior to insertion of the anchor into the bone bore hole. In this case also, a knot must be made in the suture to tie the tissue to the anchor.
- the present invention relates to a method and device using a suture anchor to attach soft tissue to bone or other tissue which allows the soft tissue to be secured without tying a knot.
- a knotless suture anchor is provided for anchoring a suture thread to tissue (e.g., bone tissue).
- the suture anchor includes an inner member including a proximal shaft and a distal securing member shaped to secure the inner member to the tissue, the proximal shaft including a first locking part and at least one hole extending therethrough for receiving the suture thread; and a collar member including an axial bore shaped to receive the proximal shaft of the inner member, a second locking part, and at least one hole extending therethrough and assigned to the hole of the proximal shaft of the inner member, the collar member being axially slidable into unlocked and locked positions relative to the proximal shaft of the inner member, the collar member being axially relatively slidable into the locked position only to secure the suture thread.
- the hole of the collar member is aligned with the hole of the proximal shaft of the inner member when the collar member is placed into the unlocked position, the hole of the collar member is misaligned with the hole of the proximal shaft of the inner member when the collar member is placed into the locked position, and the first locking part of the proximal shaft engages with the second locking part of the collar member to axially lock the collar member with respect to the proximal shaft when the collar member is placed into the locked position.
- the suture is first threaded into the first tissue, forming a suture loop through the first tissue.
- the two legs of the suture are then inserted through the holes of the collar member and the inner member, and the anchor is inserted into the second tissue.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a first exemplary knotless suture anchor according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 illustrates an inner member of the knotless suture anchor illustrated in Figure 1, shown rotated about its axis from the position illustrated in Figure 1.
- Figure 3 illustrates a collar member of the knotless suture anchor illustrated in Figure 1.
- Figure 4 illustrates another exemplary knotless suture anchor according to the present invention.

- Axial bore 315 of collar member 120 is shaped to receive proximal shaft 210 of inner member 110.
- collar member 120 is slidably positionable into at least two positions relative to proximal shaft 210 of inner member 110: (a) an unlocked positioned, in which suture holes 320a, 320b of collar member 120 are aligned with suture holes 240a, 240b of inner member 110; and (b) a locked position, in which suture holes 320a, 320b of collar member 120 are not aligned with suture holes 240a, 240b of inner member 110.
- Second locking part 325 is configured to couple with first locking part 250 of proximal shaft 210 to axially lock collar member 120 ⁇ vith respect to inner member 110 when collar member 120 is placed into the locked position.
- Second locking part 325 of collar member 120 includes a slot 410, an annular flange 415 extending radially inward, and a countersink portion 420 (see Figure 1) formed in the distal end of annular flange 415. As shown in Figure 3, slot 410 extends proximally into a hole 411. It should be appreciated, however, that slot 410 need not include hole 411. Slot 410 and hole 411 are provided to permit flange 415 to snap over flange portion 260 of proximal shaft 210 to lock collar member 120 into the locked position.
- second locking part 325 of Figure 3 includes slot 410 and annular flange 415 for locking collar member 120 to proximal shaft 210
- the present invention described herein is not intended to be limited to specific structures of second locking part 325.

- FIGs 5a to 5 e there is seen an operational sequence for inserting knotless suture anchor 100 into tissue (e.g., bone tissue).
- collar member 120 is moved with respect to proximal shaft 210 of inner member 110 into the unlocked position, such that suture holes 320a, 320b of collar member 120 are aligned with suture holes 240a, 240b of inner member 110.
- a suture leg 510a of a suture thread 510 previously threaded through tissue 950 is inserted through suture holes 240a, 32Oa of inner member 110 and collar member 120.
- the other leg 510b of suture thread 510 is inserted through suture holes 240b, 320b of inner member 110 and collar member 120.
- actuating line 620 is inserted through additional hole 610 and suture anchor 100 is inserted into tissue 520 (e.g., bone tissue).
- tissue 520 e.g., bone tissue
- actuating line 620 may be previously inserted or disposed (e.g., at time of sale) through hole 610.
- Actuating line 620 is preferably made from a high strength thread, such as flexible, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene suture thread.
- Collar member 120 may be relatively moved distally, for example, using a suture anchor insertion tool (not shown) configured to engage with collar member 120 for sliding collar member 120 distally with respect to proximal shaft 210. While collar member 120 is slid distally, a proximal force is exerted on both ends of actuating line 620 along direction (A) to ensure that suture anchor 100 remains stationary within tissue 520 while collar member 120 is moved distally into the locked position with respect to proximal shaft 210 of inner member 110.
- a suture anchor insertion tool (not shown) configured to engage with collar member 120 for sliding collar member 120 distally with respect to proximal shaft 210. While collar member 120 is slid distally, a proximal force is exerted on both ends of actuating line 620 along direction (A) to ensure that suture anchor 100 remains stationary within tissue 520 while collar member 120 is moved distally into the locked position with respect to proximal shaft 210 of inner member 110.
- proximal force exerted on actuating line 620 may be effected by a suitably dimensioned tool (not shown) and/or a surgeon, who may grab both ends of actuating line 620 while distally moving collar member 120 into the locked position.
- the distal movement of collar member 120 causes suture holes 320a, 320b of collar member 120 to come out of alignment with suture holes 240a, 240b of inner member 110, thereby causing suture 510 to be frictionally secured between the outer surface of proximal shaft 210 and the inner surface of collar member 120, as shown in Figures 6a and 6b.
- annular flange 415 passes distal locking lip 270, annular flange 415 is forced radially inward to its original position under an inherent biasing force, as shown in Figure 5e.
- actuating line 620 may then be removed. It should be appreciated that collar member 120 is movable distally relative to proximal shaft 210. It is also possible to move proximal shaft 210 proximally with respect to collar member 120 to place collar member 120 into the locked position.
- a proximal force may be exerted on the ends of actuating line 620 (e.g., by a surgeon), while a suitably dimensioned tool (e.g., insertion tool 900) keeps collar member 120 stationary.
- a suitably dimensioned tool e.g., insertion tool 900
- FIG 4 there is seen another exemplary suture anchor 600 according to the present invention.
- Suture anchor 600 contains features similar to those of suture anchor 100, except that proximal shaft 210 and collar member 120 each include a single suture hole 240, 320, respectively, for receiving both legs 510a, 510b of suture thread 510.
- the operational sequence for inserting suture anchor 600 into tissue 520 is similar to that for inserting suture anchor 100. (See Figures 5a to 5e).
- FIG. 7a and 7b there is seen yet another exemplary suture anchor 800 according to the present invention.
- Suture anchor 800 contains features similar to those of suture anchor 100, except that proximal shaft 210 of suture anchor 800 includes frangible portion 850.
- the operational sequence for inserting suture anchor 800 into tissue 520 is similar to that for inserting suture anchor 100. (See Figures 5 a to 5 e).
- an excess proximal force is exerted on both ends of actuating line 620, after collar member 120 is placed in to the locked position (see Figure 5e).
- the excess force causes frangible portion 850 of proximal shaft 210 to break away, and the frangible portion 850 and actuating line 620 may then be removed (note: the excess proximal force exerted on actuating line 620 is a force greater than that exerted on actuating line 620 when collar member 120 is relatively moved distally into the locked position with respect to proximal shaft 210 of inner member 110).
- a weakened portion 870 such as perforation 870, may be provided to facilitate disconnection of frangible portion 850 from proximal shaft 210.
- weakened portion 870 may be provided at other locations on proximal shaft 210 of inner member.
- weakened portion 870 may be provided distally of additional hole 610 to ensure that frangible portion 850 and suture actuating line 620 remain together while they are removed.
- weakened portion 870 may be any other type of weakening in proximal shaft 210.
- weakened portion 870 may include a notch in proximal shaft 210, which forms a portion of reduced diameter, thereby weakening proximal shaft 210 at that point.
- FIGs 8a and 8b shows an additional exemplary knotless suture anchor 1000 in unlocked and locked positions, respectively.
- Knotless suture anchor 1000 is similar to that of suture anchor 100, except that second locking part 325 of collar member 120 is located at proximal side 310 of collar member 120, and first locking part 250 of shaft 210 is located more proximally on shaft 210 than that of suture anchor 100.
- the operational sequence for inserting suture anchor 1000 into tissue 520 is similar to that for inserting suture anchor 100. (See Figures 5a to 5e). However, to place collar member 120 into the locked position (see Figure 8b), collar member 120 is relatively moved proximally (not distally) toward first locking part 250 of proximal shaft 210.
- Collar member 120 maybe relatively moved distally, for example, using a suture anchor insertion tool (not shown) configured to engage with collar member 120 for pulling collar member 120 proximally with respect to proximal shaft 210. While collar member 120 is slid proximally, a distal force may be exerted on proximal shaft 210 to ensure that suture anchor 1000 remains stationary within tissue 520 while collar member 120 is moved proximally into the locked position with respect to proximal shaft 210 of inner member 110. The distal force exerted on the proximal shaft 210 may be effected by a suitably dimensioned tool (not shown) and/or a surgeon.
