Assemblies, devices and methods are provided for suture management associated with surgical procedures for anchoring suture to bone. Suture elements mounted to suture anchors are terminated in suture loops or tags, and associated stop members that in combination with visual coding provide suture identification, prevent accidental unmounting of suture from suture anchors, and reduce the number of suture legs requiring active management during complex arthroscopic repairs. The present invention also provides exemplary drivers that can be used with the various methods and devices disclosed herein, or with other methods and devices known in the art.

Des ensembles, des appareils et des méthodes sont fournis pour la gestion des sutures associée aux procédures chirurgicales pour l'ancrage de la suture à l'os. Les éléments de suture montés aux ancrages de suture se terminent par des boucles ou des étiquettes de suture, et les éléments de blocage associés qui, conjointement avec des codes visuels, permettent d'identifier la suture, empêchent les éléments de suture de se décrocher accidentellement des ancrages de suture, et réduisent le nombre de pattes de suture requérant une intervention active durant les réparations arthroscopiques complexes. En outre, la présente invention comporte des avantages exemplaires qui peuvent être mis à profit avec les différents appareils et méthodes divulgués aux présentes, ou avec d'autres méthodes et appareils connus dans le métier.
