Figure 76. Pass six inches of both limbs of the coloredsuture leader, preloaded on the KINSA SutureAnchor, through the monofilament loop end(Figure 7). Shuttle the colored suture leaderthrough the tissue by pulling the tails of themonofilament out the non-operative cannula(Figure 8). Remove the monofilament.7. Advance the inserter down the operativecannula while pulling on the colored sutureleader to remove slack (Figure 9). Advance untilthe loop of ULTRABRAID Suture has passedthrough the soft tissue and is visible on bothsides of the tissue (Figure 10).Note: As you advance the inserter, position it sothe slot on the outer shaft faces toward thelabrum and away from the glenoid. Avoidtwisting the suture.Figure 86Figure 9
8. Pass the anchor completely through the loop ofULTRABRAID Suture which has been passedthrough the soft tissue (Figure 11). Use thecolored suture leader to help manipulate theloop.9. Insert the anchor tip into the drill hole andestablish alignment (Figure 12). Maintain axialalignment of the anchor relative to the drilledinsertion site. Tap the anchor slowly into thehole until the laser mark on the inner insertershaft is fully buried beneath the articularsurface. Because the laser etch mark is 3 mmabove the anchor head, the anchor will becompletely embedded in the subchondral bone.Note: Axial alignment of the anchor to thedrilled hole during implantation is imperativefor successful implantation.Figure 10Figure 11Figure 127
