Abstract

A surgical assembly, the assembly including a first guidewire, a second guidewire, in which each of the first guidewire and the second guidewire are configured to be received by a bone block, a first suture loop, a second suture loop, a first locking component, and a second locking component, in which the first locking component is coupled to the first suture loop and the second locking component is coupled to the second suture loop.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A surgical kit comprising:
a first cannula having a hole formed therethrough and configured to receive a bone block, a proximal end, a distal end, and a central axis defined therethrough;
a first guidewire;
a second guidewire;
a first suture loop comprising a first locking member;
a second suture loop comprising a second locking member;
a glenoid guide having a hooked end;
a second cannula having a hole formed therethrough, a proximal end, and a distal end;
a grasper;
an obturator; and
a needle guidewire.

2. The kit of claim 1 , further comprising fixation member and a drill configured to secure the at least one fixation member into a bone.

3. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one fixation member is configured to engage the bone block.

4. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first guidewire and the second guidewire is configured to be received by the bone block.

5. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first guidewire and the second guidewire comprise Nitinol.

6. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the first guidewire includes a first loop and the second guidewire includes a second loop.

7. The kit of claim 6 , wherein the first loop of the first guidewire is configured to receive the first suture loop and the second loop of the second guidewire is configured to receive the second suture loop.

8. The kit of claim 6 , wherein the first suture loop is configured to be secured to the first loop of the first guidewire and the second suture loop is configured to be secured to the second loop of the second guidewire.

9. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first suture loop and the second suture loop comprise Nitinol.

10. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first suture loop and the second suture loop is a closed, continuous loop.

11. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first locking member and the second locking member is configured to engage the bone block.

12. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the obturator is cannulated for passage over the needle guidewire.
