Apparatus and method for securing a graft ligament in a bone tunnel. In one form of the invention, the method comprises the steps of forming a first bone tunnel (20) in a bone; forming a second bone tunnel (35) in the same bone, the second bone tunnel being transverse to, and intersecting, the first bone tunnel; positioning a closed loop of a flexible member (70) within the first bone tunnel and out through a first portion of the second bone tunnel; parting the closed loop outside the first portion of the second bone tunnel so as to create a first free end (95) and a second free end (105); passing the second free end through the second bone tunnel so that the second free end extends out of a second portion of the second bone tunnel; positioning the graft ligament (25) over a portion of the flexible member; and pulling the first and second free ends of the flexible member so as to draw the graft ligament into the first bone tunnel.
