Dog Bone™ Button

The precontoured, titanium Dog Bone button allows the use of knotless TightRope® technology or multiple FiberTape® sutures for acromioclavicular AC joint reduction. The button is attached to the sutures independently; only suture material will be passed through the clavicle and coracoid tunnels, allowing the repair to be completed through smaller tunnels.

The low-profile AC implant and Dog Bone button combine to form a tensionable device optimized for the reduction and stabilization of acute and chronic ac joint separations. This dual construct features two independent TightRope sutures preassembled into a clavicle insert and a Dog Bone button, which attaches to the suture loops separately after passing them antegrade through the 3 mm bone tunnels.
