2.5 mm PushLock^® Thumb Collateral Ligament Repair

Using #2-0 or #0 suture the torn ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb is sutured. The 2.5 mm PushLock^® uses a PEEK eyelet to place the sutures at the bottom of a drill hole, allowing the surgeon to tension precisely by hand and lock the sutures in place by impacting the tak portion of the anchor. Both the high strength radiolucent PEEK and the absorbable PLLA 2.5 mm PushLock optimize tissue tension and fixation without knot tying. The final repair is tensioned to the surgeon's preference and remains completely knotless allowing for less irritation with minimal overlying soft tissue.
