An orthopedic flip-wing tissue retainer ( 2 ) comprises a flip-wing ( 7 ), tissue-retaining means ( 8 ) and a joint formed between the flip-wing ( 7 ) and the tissue-retaining means ( 8 ). The tissue retainer ( 2 ) is easily installed and used to anchor a biological tissue. The tissue retainer ( 2 ) can be used in combination with other devices to replace or repair a ligament or tendon in a joint. In particular, when used for ligament replacement, the tissue retainer ( 2 ) eliminates or at least minimizes the twisting that typically occurs during conventional surgery. In addition, the tension of the ligament graft can be precisely adjusted by using a tension-adjusting device ( 3 or 203 ) in combination with the flip-wing tissue retainer ( 2 ). The tension-adjusting device ( 203 ) can include a ball ( 204 )-and-socket ( 205 ) joint.
