A soft tissue fixation assembly (10) comprises an anchor element (12) which is installed in a bone or other tissue, and a joiner element (26) which mates with the anchor element to define a tissue capture region between them. A section of soft tissue is held within the tissue capture region (36) and energy is transmitted into the joiner element to cause relative vibratory motion between the respective components, and localized melting of the contacting portions of the respective components to establish a welded joint. The soft tissue segment is thus fixed to the bone without sutures or other fasteners.

Cet ensemble fixation (10) de tissus mous comprend un élément d'ancrage (12), installé dans un os ou un autre tissu, ainsi qu'un élément d'assemblage (26) épousant l'élément d'ancrage de manière à définir entre lui et l'élément d'ancrage une région d'emprisonnement de tissus. Une section de tissu mou est retenue dans cette région (36) d'emprisonnement de tissus, et l'énergie est transmise dans l'élément d'assemblage, afin de provoquer un déplacement vibratoire entre les composants correspondants, ainsi qu'une fusion localisée des portions des composants entrant en contact les unes avec les autres, de manière à établir un assemblage soudé. Le segment de tissu mou est ainsi fixé à l'os sans suture ou autre dispositif de fixation.
