Tendon to Bone Fixation methods
Tendon-to-bone fixation is the process of securely attaching a tendon or ligament graft to bone using devices such as bone tunnels, suture anchors, interference screws, cortical buttons, and suspensory fixation systems until biological healing occurs. Successful repair depends on both strong initial mechanical fixation and gradual tendon-to-bone biological incorporation at the enthesis. The choice of fixation method varies according to the procedure, tendon quality, bone quality, and biomechanic...
