Dog Bone™ Button

The Dog Bone™ Button is a precontoured button that allows the use of multiple FiberTape® sutures for AC joint reduction, providing a construct that is twice as strong as existing AC joint repair devices. Since the buttons are attached to the FiberTapes independently, only suture material is passed through the clavicle and coracoid tunnels allowing the repair to be completed through 3 mm smaller tunnels. Tunnel drilling is made easier with new AC guide arms and a new 2.4 mm or 3 mm Cannulated Drill. The guide arms feature angled tips and two posts to help seat the guide firmly against the base of the coracoid and the Cannulated Drill allows for one-step tunnel drilling, eliminating the need to drill over a guide pin.
