Pec Button Technique

The Arthrex Pec Buttons are used for fixation of soft tissue-to-bone intended as fixation posts, a distribution bridge, or for distributing suture tension over areas of ligament or tendon repair. Each end of the buttons has an angled face to promote a toggle effect when the buttons contact the opposite cortex, enabling the Pec Buttons to be ideally suited for the repair of ruptures of the pectoralis major tendon back to bone. A unicortical pilot hole is formed with a drill bit and after attaching FiberWire® or FiberTape® sutures from the whipstitched pec tendon, the button is inserted in a unicortical fashion using the inserter.
