HAR-1 In one embodiment, the fixation device 100 may include a distal end 120 and a proximal end 122. The distal end 120 may contact a body part of a patient as part of fixating a tissue 114 to the body part. For example, in a transosseous (through the bone) fixation procedure the distal end 120 may contact the bone. The proximal end 122 may contact a part of the body but not for purposes of fixation. 28 Added by DJM 9 2021 9/2/21, 12:00 AM

HAR-1 A variety of mechanical configurations and designs may be used to implement the one-way tissue engagement feature 110. Each of these is considered within the scope of this disclosure. This disclosure includes exemplary embodiments that can serve as the one-way tissue engagement feature 110. 27 Added by DJM 9 2021 9/2/21, 12:00 AM

HAR-1 Advantageously, the fixation device 100 can be used in a variety of surgical procedures in which tissue 114 is fixed to other parts of the body or an implant. A representative example of such procedures, includes but is not limited to, tibial fixation of a tissue graft, femoral fixation of a tissue graft, rotator cuff repairs, and the like. 26 Added by DJM 9 2021 9/2/21, 12:00 AM

HAR-1 A pushing, pulling, or tension force applied to the tissue 114 in the first direction 116 can/will cause the tissue 114 to move through the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 in the first direction 116. Conversely, a pushing, pulling, or tension force applied to the tissue 114 in the second direction 118 can/will not cause the tissue 114 to move through the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 in the second direction 118. Instead, movement of the tissue 114 in the second direction 118 will be stopped, retained, prevented, or mitigated by the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 of the fixation device 100. In certain embodiments, the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 engages with the tissue 114 such that a failure or tear of the tissue 114 within the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 may be the only way to remove the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 from the tissue 114. 25 Added by DJM 9 2021 9/2/21, 12:00 AM

HAR-1 Figure 1B illustrates a side view of the fixation device 100 of Figure 1A. Figure 1B illustrates that one portion (the ends of the tissue 114 are not illustrated) of the tissue 114 passes through the fixation device 100 in a first direction 116. In one embodiment, the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 may be within the opening 112. The one-way tissue engagement feature 110 engages the length of tissue 114 within the opening 112 such that the length of tissue 114 can move through the opening 112 in the first direction 116 but not move through the opening 112 in a second direction 118. In this manner, the one-way tissue engagement feature 110 provides a one-way tissue engagement function, the tissue 114 can only pass through the opening 112 in one direction. 24 Added by DJM 9 2021 9/2/21, 12:00 AM

HAR-1 Figure 1A illustrates an example of a fixation device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The fixation device 100 may include a one-way tissue engagement feature 110 and an engagement feature 140. The one-way tissue engagement feature 110 may include an opening 112. The opening 112 is configured to receive a length of tissue 114 passing through the opening 112. The opening 112 is large enough to accept an end the tissue 114 passing through the opening 112. In the illustrated embodiment, the opening 112 has a circular cross-section shape. In certain embodiments, by analogy the one-way tissue engagement feature functions with respect to the tissue 114, much like a check valve functions with respect to a fluid. Like fluid flowing through a check valve, the tissue 114 can only pass through the one-way tissue engagement feature in one direction. 23 Added by DJM 9 2021 9/2/21, 12:00 AM
