Research Article: An additively manufactured titanium tilting suture anchor: a biomechanical assessment on human and ovine bone specimens
Abstract:
Introduction: A novel titanium tilting suture anchor was designed and fabricated using additive manufacturing. The anchor enjoyed a nonsymmetrical structure to facilitate its insertion procedure through a weight-induced tilt, a saw-teeth penetrating edge to provide a strong initial fixation into cancellous bones of various densities, and an appropriate surface texture to enhance the longterm fixation strength through bone ingrowth.
