A cable clamp includes a housing having two substantially parallel and co-planar channels therethrough. At least one restraining member is disposed within the housing between the two channels, also substantially parallel and co-planar therewith. A surgical cable is passed through the first channel, around a bone or other structure, and through the second channel. The restraining member may then be actuated to impinge against the surgical wire or cable, simultaneously constraining the surgical wire or cable within both channels between the restraining member (an inner wall) and the housing (an outer wall). For example, the restraining member may be an expansion member that, when expanded as by driving a wedge between two restraining arms, reduces the size of the channels such that the surgical wire or cable can no longer pass freely therethrough.
