An expanding plug for tendon fixation features two resilient arms configured to expand radially to achieve interference fixation of a graft tendon inside of a bone tunnel. The tendon graft is assembled to the expanding bolt and situated within a bone tunnel. Passing suture is used to pull the expanding plug into the tunnel in a first direction. Pulling the expanding plug in a second direction (which is opposite the first direction) deploys the resilient arms and places the expanding plug in the deployed configuration.
