Method and apparatus for fixation of an ACL graft

摘要

A system for use in graft fixation in a knee reconstruction procedure can include a first femoral fixation member adapted to be retained relative to a first end of a femoral tunnel and a first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct having a passage portion with a pair of free ends and a pair of self-locking adjustable loops. The first flexible member construct can be interconnected to the first femoral fixation member. A second femoral fixation member can be coupled to the first flexible member construct and can be adapted to be positioned in the femoral tunnel relative to a second end of the femoral tunnel adjacent a joint space between the femur and a tibia. A second self-locking adjustable flexible member construct having a passage portion with a pair of free ends and a pair of self-locking adjustable loops can be interconnected to the second femoral fixation member.

1. A system for use in graft fixation in a knee reconstruction procedure, comprising:
a first femoral fixation member adapted to be retained relative to a first end of a femoral tunnel in a femur; a first self-locking adjustable flexible member construct having a first passage portion with a first pair of free ends and a first pair of self-locking adjustable loops, the first flexible member construct being interconnected to the first femoral fixation member; a second femoral fixation member coupled to the first flexible member construct and adapted to be positioned within the femoral tunnel relative to a second end of the femoral tunnel adjacent to a joint space between the femur and a tibia; and a second self-locking adjustable flexible member construct having a second passage portion with a second pair of free ends and a second pair of self-locking adjustable loops, the second flexible member construct being interconnected to the second femoral fixation member.
