ORIGINS
DelSgnori - The Anchor Line CMC Suspensionplasty System - Co Founder

Board-certified hand surgeon Jeanne L. DelSignore, MD—co-developer of the Anchor Line™ CMC Suspensionplasty System—pioneered the Suture Suspension Arthroplasty (SSA) technique in 2009.1 Her landmark 12- to 14-year follow-up study demonstrated durable outcomes2 and received the 2021 ASSH Sumner Koch Award for its potential to create significant future clinical impact. The Anchor Line™ CMC Suspensionplasty System builds upon this award-winning approach to provide a highly reproducible, stable, bone-to-bone suture suspension repair.

ENGINEERING
The Anchor Line CMC Suspensionplasty System - Device
  • Anatomical Reconstruction: Designed to restore native TMC joint kinematics and metacarpal height, without tendon graft harvest or weaving.
  • Controlled Tensioning: The proprietary Falcon Suture Clutch enables incremental, dynamic tensioning with provisional fixation before final knot lock.
  • Stable Metacarpal Alignment: Engineered to maintain vector alignment between the first and second metacarpal bases, supporting the sling through ligamentous healing.
ADVANTAGES
The Anchor Line CMC Suspensionplasty System - Adv
  • Patient Incision Site: Single incision
  • Patient Comfort: No exposed hardware
  • Patient Procedure Simplicity: No multiple suture strands to manage
  • Patient Tissue Preservation: No tendon harvesting or weaving
  • Patient Joint Stability: Titanium suture anchor fixation
  • Patient Surgical Precision: Anchor placement at the index metacarpal facet (radial to FCR insertion) and intra-articular thumb metacarpal base
  • Patient Rehabilitation Timeline: Early passive motion possible, as early as 2 weeks in some cases
  • Patient Recovery Rate: Potentially faster return to normal function
  • Patient Procedure Duration: Operative time may be reduced vs. traditional LRTI, up to 67% in some cases
