titleOfInvention | Method and apparatus for securing an object to bone |
abstract | A surgical system comprising: an object to be secured to bone, the object comprising an opening extending therethrough; and a sleeve/expander construction for securing the object to bone, the sleeve/expander construction comprising: a sleeve adapted for positioning through the opening in the object and into the bone, the sleeve comprising:a shank having a distal end and a proximal end and an opening extending from the distal end to the proximal end, wherein the opening narrows toward the distal end of the shank, and further wherein the distal end of the shank is slit so as to form a plurality of radially-expandable segments; and an enlarged head formed at the proximal end of the shank, the enlarged head being formed so as to be radially-expandable; and an expander adapted for positioning through the opening in the sleeve, the expander being sized so as to (i) radially expand the distal end of the sleeve so that the sleeve is secured to the bone, and (ii) radially expand the enlarged head of the sleeve so that the sleeve is secured to the object, whereby to secure the object to the bone. |
