Methods and devices for tissue graft fixation

A graft suspension device comprising:

• an elongate body defining a length, a thickness and a transverse width shorter than the length and having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending along the length from the first end to the second end, a first sidewall extending from the first to the second end along the longitudinal axis, and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall extending from the first end to the second ends end along the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the elongate body further comprises:
• a pair of holes extending through the entire thickness of the elongate body and disposed adjacent the first end, on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis to each other;
• a pair of slotted holes disposed adjacent the second end, on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis to each other;
• and
• an adjustable fixation loop construct having a first side and a second side, separated by a cradle, the first side including a first adjustable suture loop and first free end and the second side including a second adjustable suture loop and second free end;
• wherein the first adjustable suture loop is pre-assembled to the pair of holes and wherein the second adjustable loop is pre-assembled to a needle loop, the needle loop including a suture and a needle, the suture formed separately from the adjustable fixation loop and wherein the needle loop is configured to couple the cradle to tissue while the first adjustable loop remains assembled to the pair of holes.

A graft suspension device comprising:

• an adjustable suture loop construct including a first loop end, a second loop end, a first free limb and a second free limb and a cradle separating the first and second loop ends, the cradle formed of suture and including a longitudinal passage portion though which the first and second free limbs extend;
• and
• an elongate body having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, a first sidewall extending between the first and second ends along the longitudinal axis, and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall extending between the first and second ends along the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the elongate body further comprises:
• at least a first and a second aperture defined through the body adjacent a midpoint of the body defined by the first and second ends;
• a first slot extending though the body and also through one of the first or second sidewalls such that the first slot is adjacent the first aperture;
• a second slot formed through the body and also through one of the first side or second sidewalls such that the second slot is adjacent the second aperture;
• wherein the at least first and second apertures are preassembled to the first loop of the adjustable suture loop construct;
• and
• wherein the first and second slots are configured to assemble with the second loop of the adjustable suture loop, after the second loop has been threaded through a graft.
