An anchoring fastener is adapted for attaching an elastic cable to a substrate, and is suitable for use in stabilizing and fixating a bony fracture with an elastic cable having known diameter and elastic properties. The invention includes: a generally annular collar, a deformable centering ring seatable inside the annular collar, and an anchor post adapted to be passed through the annular collar and ring. A loop or bight of cable passed around a shoulder of the anchor post is retained under compression in a defined annular void defined between a shoulder of the post and a cylindrical bore in the annular collar.
