Abstract
A composition and methods thereof include bone fibers made from cortical bone in which a plurality of bone fibers are made into shapes that are used to augment rotator cuff and acl repair. Sheets of bone fibers may be used as an interface between bone and tissue, tendons, and/or ligaments. The physical presence of the fibers provides initial fixation, while the use of an osteoinductive material provides long term enhancement of bone formation. A delivery system and methods of use are also provided.
