Procedure

The PushLock anchor is designed for simple and secure arthroscopic glenohumeral joint instability repair. The knotless technique saves valuable time and eliminates the possibility of knot impingement. This suture-first technique allows surgeons to independently pass suture through a desired amount of tissue prior to anchor implantation. Multiple suture configurations, including simple cinch and mattress stitches, can be accomplished with FiberWire®, FiberLink® SutureTape, FiberStick™, SutureTape, or LabralTape™ sutures using the Labral Scorpion™ or QuickPass™ SutureLasso™ suture passers. Tissue tension can be visualized and adjusted, if necessary, prior to final anchor implantation.
Please note that certain bio (PLLA) anchors and screws are not available for sale in EMEA.

PushLock® Anchor Instability Technique

Child (D)

Achieve labral fixation by placing sutures through the labrum in simple or labral base stitch configurations using any Arthrex suture passer. Standard and Knotless SutureTak® and FiberTak® anchors should be placed prior to passing the repair suture, while PushLock® anchors should be placed after passing the repair suture.

Labral Fixation

Product

The PushLock anchor for knotless, soft-tissue repair was designed to be used in arthroscopic stability procedures of the femoroacetabular joint. Its revolutionary 2-piece design facilitates controlled, intraoperative suture tensioning prior to committing the anchor in bone, allowing for precise tissue reduction. It is available in bioabsorbable PLLA (poly-L-lactide), biocomposite, and nonabsorbable PEEK (polyetheretherketone) polymers, and in 2.4 mm, 2.9 mm, and 3.5 mm diameters. PEEK has excellent biostability and biocompatibility characteristics. The PushLock anchor disposables kits include the necessary drill and drill guide to precisely place the pilot hole on the acetabular rim. Reusable drills and drill guides are also available in hip lengths.

PushLock® Anchor

Designed for arthroscopic instability or rotator cuff repair, the knotless PushLock suture anchor uniquely allows surgeons to adjust tension on the tissue intraoperatively, ensuring precise tissue reduction and fixation.
PushLock anchors are available in 2.4 mm, 2.9 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.5 mm sizes. The 2.4 mm and 2.9 mm PushLock anchors are optimized for labral repair. Use the 4.5 mm PushLock anchor for rotator cuff repair using the SutureBridge™ technique and the 3.5 mm PushLock anchor during rotator cuff or instability procedures.
The anchor bodies – available in bioabsorbable biocomposite or PLLA and nonabsorbable PEEK materials – are strong, revisable, and radioluscent implants with no MRI artifact. Each anchor has a PEEK eyelet for superior strength during insertion to allow firm tissue tensioning and shifting.1
