发明名称 GRAFT LIGAMENT ANCHOR AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING A GRAFT LIGAMENT TO A BONE
摘要 A graft ligament anchor comprises a graft ligament engagement member (20) disposed in an opening (29) in a bone, the graft ligament engagement member (20) being arranged to receive a graft ligament (28) alongside the engagement member (20), and a locking member (32) for disposition in the opening, and at least in part engaging with the graft ligament engagement member (20). Movement of the locking member (32) in the opening causes the locking member (32) to urge the engagement member (20), and the graft ligament (28) therewith, toward a wall of the opening, to secure the graft ligament (28) to the wall of the opening. A method for attaching a graft ligament (28) to a bone comprises providing an opening in the bone, inserting the graft ligament (28) and a graft ligament engagement member (20) in the opening, with the graft ligament (28) disposed alongside a first portion of the engagement member (20), and inserting a locking member (32) in the bone alongside a second portion of the engagement member (20), the locking member (32) being separated from the graft ligament (28) by the graft ligament engagement member (20). The method further comprises moving the locking member (32) to cause the locking member (32) to engage the graft ligament engagement member (20) to urge the graft ligament engagement member (20), and the graft ligament (28) therewith, toward a wall of the opening to secure the graft ligament to the wall of the opening.
