Abstract
A suture attachment clip and method for assisting in the attachment or re-attachment of soft tissue to bone. The clip generally comprises a head having a shape suitable for allowing the passage of a suture during attachment of soft tissue to bone. One or more clips can be secured to a bone plate through a variety of means, including a snap configuration, a screw configuration, and a bendable prong configuration. The clip can also be continuous with an adjacent clip, thus forming a multi-clip assembly that can either be secured to a bone plate or secured directly to a bone without a bone plate.
Description
- This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/045,860, filed on Apr. 17, 2008, the complete disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to orthopedic devices used in the reattachment of soft tissue to bone in acute injuries or reconstructive procedures.
- The present device and method provides a significant improvement for soft tissue attachment or reattachment to bone in acute injury or in reconstructive procedures. The various embodiments of the present invention can be used in conjunction with bone plates or by itself.
- Musculoskeletal injuries constitute combinations of bone and soft tissue injury. As such, bone fractures frequently have associated tendon or ligament tears. Fractures around joints—know in the art as periarticular fractures—are classic examples of combined bone and tendon, or bone and ligament injuries. Existing plate systems utilized in orthopaedic surgical procedures, such as fracture fixation or reconstruction procedures, provide limited options for incorporating additional soft tissue anchoring into the plate. In most instances the plates designed for use in periarticular fracture procedures will have a few small orifices for the passage of a curved surgical needle. A torn or avulsed tendon can be reattached to the bone at the time of fracture fixation through the small orifices on the plates. Often, the small amount and small size of the orifices on the plate are not sufficient to repair significant soft tissue components. In addition, it is often very difficult to pass a needle, curved or straight, through these orifices once the plate has been screwed to the bone. Accordingly, existing bone plates provide limited options for soft tissue reattachment.
- While the clinical success of bone anchors for the reattachment of tendon or ligament in musculoskeletal reconstruction is well documented, most existing bone anchors fail where the bone is very soft—as, or example, in severe osteopenia—or where the bone is very fragmented—as, for example, in fractures with severe bone fragmentation or comminution. In these instances, traditional bone anchors are inadequate for the reattachment of tendons and ligaments to bone.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to broaden the usefulness of bone plates by introducing additional features to plate design and fabrication that facilitate the reattachment of soft tissue, tendons, and ligaments to bone. The present invention has applications in fracture situations, and reconstructive procedures alike.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a means of soft tissue reattachment or attachment to bone that can be used by itself without a bone plate; specifically, when other traditional methods, such as bone anchors, will not provide sufficient strength for repair.
- The present invention generally comprises a suture attachment clip having various embodiments which provide multiple options for soft tissue repair to a bone structure.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the suture attachment clip comprises a head suitably shaped to allow the passage of a suture during the attachment of soft tissue to bone. A plurality of individual clips can attach to a bone plate by snapping the respective clips into corresponding receiving orifices on the bone plate, preferably located on the side of the bone plate. The clips can be attached to the bone plate at the time of manufacture or at the time of surgery.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of individual clips are attached to the bone plate by screwing each respective clip into a corresponding receiving orifice on the bone plate, preferably located on the side of the bone plate and preferably threaded internally. The clips can be screwed into the bone plate at the time of manufacture or at the time of surgery.
- In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of individual clips are attached to a bone plate by inserting a free end of each respective clip through a corresponding pair of receiving orifices in the bone plate, preferably located on the side of the bone plate. The free ends of the clip are then bent through a corresponding pair of exit orifices on the bone plate, wherein the clip is fixed in place. In this embodiment, a clip can be designed and manufactured specifically to fit an existing bone plate's orifices, or alternatively, the bone plate and clip can be simultaneously and compatibly designed and manufactured. Each clip has a head suitably shaped to allow the passage of a suture during the repair of soft tissue to bone. The clips can be attached to the bone plate at the time of manufacture or at the time of the actual surgery.
- In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the terminal end of one suture attachment clip is continuous with the terminal end of an adjacent suture attachment clip, thus forming a single multi-clip assembly. Each clip of the multi-clip assembly has a head suitably shaped to allow the passage of a suture during the attachment of soft tissue to bone. The multi-clip assembly attaches to the bone plate by snapping the multi-clip assembly to corresponding receiving channels on the bone plate. The receiving channels are preferably located on the undersurface of the bone plate. To further secure the multi-clip assembly to the bone plate, the multi-clip assembly could alternatively be fastened to the bone plate by locking screws or fasteners. Depending on the fastening method used, the multi-clip assembly can be attached to the bone plate at the time of manufacture or at the time of the actual surgery.
- The multi-clip assembly can also be used without attachment to a bone plate. In this embodiment of the present invention, the multi-clip assembly is fastened to the bone with standard bone screws or fasteners through a plurality of eyelets positioned at various points on the multi-clip assembly.

29. A kit for attaching soft tissue to bone comprising,
a bone plate having one or more orifices on the perimeter of said bone plate;
one or more suture attachment clips, said one or more suture attachment clips comprising compressible prongs that are selectively insertable into and selectively detachable from said one or more orifices of said bone plate;
said one or more suture attachment clips further comprising a head forming an enclosed space for passage of one or more sutures when said one or more suture attachment clips are secured to the perimeter of said bone plate.
30. A bone plating system, comprising:
a bone plate having top, bottom and side walls;
said side wall having a plurality of orifices configured therein;
at least one suture attachment clip configured to be detachably received in selected ones of said sidewall orifices.
31. The bone plating system of claim 30 , wherein said at least one suture attachment clip is configured to define an enclosed loop that extends from said side wall when received in the orifice.
32. The bone plating system of claim 30 , wherein said suture attachment clip has a generally U-shaped configuration with two distal ends that define an open side of the U-shape, and said distal ends are configured to fit within selected ones of said plurality of orifices.
33. A bone plate, comprising:
a top wall, a bottom wall, and a side wall extending between said top wall and said bottom wall;
at least one suture attachment structure extending from said side wall of the bone plate.
34. The bone plate of claim 33 , wherein said suture attachment structure defines a loop for receiving a suture.
35. The bone plate of claim 33 , wherein said suture attachment structure extends at an acute angle relative to said top wall.
36. The bone plate of claim 33 , wherein said suture attachment structure is substantially rigid and defines a fixed area through which a suture can extend.
