An anchor assembly for autologous or artifi-cial tendons grafts comprises an insertion element with a stem and an aperture-containing head prox-imal to the stem. The aperture is sufficiently large to receive autologous tendons grafts such as semi-tendinosus tendon or artificial tendons. The assem-bly also comprises a stabilizing element adapted to be embedded in bone. The stabilizing element comprises a sleeve with a cavity, which can be an elongated axial channel, arranged to receive and hold the insertion element stem. The insertion el-ement can be tapped into the stabilizing element or the insertion element can be modified to include a structure such as a hole, barb, slot or hook by which the insertion element can be pulled into the stabilizing element.
