Since these materials are nontoxic and inactive to the living body, research for using them in large- and medium-diameter artificial blood vessels has already been actively conducted. However, since these materials are not absorbed in the living body, once the damage to the joint site is healed, it is necessary to perform re-operation to remove it from the body, which imposes a physical and economic burden on the patient. There was a problem of forcing.

It is important that the molecular weight and crystallinity of this PLLA are properly adjusted. That is, PLLA has a higher strength as the molecular weight is higher. However, if the molecular weight is too high, high temperature and high pressure are required during the melt molding, resulting in a large decrease in the molecular weight. The molecular weight is low and the strength is weak. On the other hand, the crystalline material has a higher bending strength and elastic modulus than the amorphous material, the permeation of body fluid is slower in the crystalline phase, and the apparent hydrolysis is slower. However, when the crystallinity is increased by heat treatment, the strength is improved, but because PLLA is thermally unstable, deterioration progresses and the molecular weight decreases, the hydrolysis rate increases, and the strength deterioration rapidly. Will happen to you. For these reasons, PLLA as the material is preferably used having a viscosity average molecular weight of 300,000 to 600,000, especially about 350,000 to 550,000, and a crystallinity of about 10 to 60%.

The binding button of the present invention is the above-mentioned PLLA.
Is melt-molded into a predetermined button shape having a plurality of holes using a deformed mold or the like, or the PLLA is extruded or press-molded into a flat plate shape, and then punched, cut, punched, etc. It is manufactured by processing into a desired button shape having holes. Molding under such heat and pressure always involves a decrease in molecular weight, but the decrease in molecular weight is minimized to reduce the viscosity average molecular weight of PLLA after melt molding to 20%.
It is desirable to keep above 10,000. Further, in the case of manufacturing by the latter method, it is desirable to stretch the molded body of PLLA formed in a flat plate shape in the uniaxial direction or the biaxial direction, and in that case, the stretching ratio is preferably about 2 to 5 times, Further, the heating during stretching is appropriately set to 60 to 160 ° C. because the crystallinity of PLLA changes depending on the temperature. Thus, a flat plate-shaped molded product having a viscosity average molecular weight of 200,000 or more after melt molding was stretched to have a compression bending strength of 25.0.
× 10 2 to 55.0 × 10 2 kg / cm 2 , the compression bending elastic modulus is 15.0 × 10 2 to 35.0 × 10 2 kg / mm 2.
2. A stretch-molded body of PLLA having a crystallinity of 10 to 60% is extremely suitable as the button material of the present invention.

The binding button for a medical suture according to the present invention is made of the above-mentioned molded product of PLA (PLLA), and therefore has the mechanical strength required as a binding button and the damaged site is healed. It is possible to maintain the required strength up to the above, and further, after performing a predetermined role, it is decomposed and absorbed in the living body, so that re-operation is not necessary. In particular, the PLA stretch-molded product has higher mechanical strength and an appropriate crystallinity, and therefore has good hydrolysis resistance,
The decrease in strength is also reduced.

As postoperative therapy, postoperative fixation is Velpe
Normal life can be restored in about three months when using the au type fixator. When the button of the present invention is implanted in the body, it comes into contact with body fluid and gradually starts to hydrolyze, which gradually progresses from the surface, and at the same time, decreases in molecular weight and strength.
However, the initial strength is maintained for about three months before returning to normal life. After healing of the damaged site, hydrolysis progresses together with the bioabsorbable suture thread used for suture fixation, and is completely absorbed. As described above, the button for binding the medical suture made of PLA of the present invention has the above-mentioned features which are not present in the conventional Teflon button or the like, and is extremely excellent.

The method i was used for surgery. A Suture punch set was used for the Caspar method, and polydioxanone (hereinafter,
4-8 sutures made of PDS II0 manufactured by PDS) are used. As shown in FIG. 8, the suture thread 3 was applied to the lower side of the AIGHL / labral lip complex as much as possible, pulled out to the dorsal side, and sutured on the inferior fascia fascia in the condition of adduction of the shoulder joint. .
Button 1a was used to reinforce the subspinous fascia during suturing. The Caspari method is also effective for ruptured AIGHL, and the pre-rolling method above AIGHL is easy and the applicable range is wide. Further, there is an advantage that the internal tissue is not damaged during the operation. It was confirmed that the button of the present invention satisfactorily reinforces the suture fixation of the ligament and is bioabsorbable, so that it is an excellent button for binding medical sutures that does not press the surrounding tissue even after healing the damage.

As is apparent from the above description, the binding button of the medical suture of the present invention is a Teflon button or a G button.
Compared to the ore-Tex patch and the like, since polylactic acid has bioabsorbability in the body, there is no pressure on the surrounding tissue after healing of the damage, and it is gentle. Further, the button of the present invention does not need to be used for a non-absorbable Teflon button or the like that needs to be re-extracted from the living body,
It has the remarkable effect of not imposing a physical and financial burden on the patient. Further, the button of the present invention has a strength enough to reinforce the suture fixation. In addition, there is an advantage that the shape and size can be processed into various shapes and sizes according to the joint site to be treated such as shoulder, knee, ankle, and surgical procedure without applying load to surrounding tissues, and can be used. In this way, the button for binding the medical suture of the present invention is used for repairing joint dislocation and subluxation,
It is very effective.
